Sadly only one description so far....everything is so boring in this show.
The storyline and the script makes the ML one dimensional. He hardly talks. He is so uninteresting AND uninterested in the FL that I don't even know why Yun Li likes him. The story is going no where and there is absolutely zero chemistry. Yun Li 's character is sadly lacking too. I feel her role here is to just look pretty and helpless all the time. I am up to episode 14 and the storyline is much the same. I end up skipping a lot but will now drop this show. Don't waste your time it is very very boring.

I have switched to mostly C-drama viewing in the past few years. I never thought this would happen as C-drama 40-50 episodes and large cast used to deter me. I was very much a fan of shorter and punchier drama. My old time favourite Reply 1988 had 20 episodes and that was perfect. Sadly there are hardly any dramas like that anymore. C drama production have their hit and misses but when they do it right you get a storyline with depth, arcs and plots development, Love like the Galaxy and Reset were the first two C dramas that blew my expectations away. There has been many more favourites since. My most recent favourite drama 'Against the current' is a perfect example of a saga that has no equivalent in K-Drama shorter series.

MDL news focuses heavily on K Drama series and celebrity news so I assumed K drama viewership is still strong, but how much longer?

I was riveted to the final moment. I love how the focus went from the ML in the beginning to LanXiang in the end. I didn't expect that but I love that it did. The theme, the songs, the filming, the casts are all spectacular. I will be keeping an eye on this director's next project.

I don't get the high review here.
I feel like watching a 30 year old dating a 16 year old. In fact maybe more like a 16 year old with a 12 year maturity. It's a bit creepy.

Perhaps the problem here is the directing. Both the main actors are seasoned actors. FL was told instead to smile a lot, to act young, shy and put on a cottequish voice. ML acts more like a dad and forever giving instructions. I mean what is with the repeated cooking guide?

Dropped after 20 episodes.

I'm not sure how I came across this list since it's old but I am sad that The Scent of Time which came out in 2023 is no where mentioned here. After years of watching C Drama it's one of the bests.

This is so so so good!!! If you are wondering what to watch next...pick this one!

What a mess. I am severely disappointed with this show. I persevered to the end, doubling the speed so I can follow the storyline. After the big reveal in the last episode I immediately could tell that there were far better solutions to the story. It made Xue Wei looks incredibly incompetent.

Great news. With her talents she can start anything from scratch and still be immensely successful. Can't wait for her next project.

I really enjoyed this movie. Kim Da Mi was an excellent cast as she is a versatile actress. I have loved her since Itaewon Class.

I will watch anything with this actress in it. She is so bewitching in her acting. An amazing actress.

Yes give Love in the galaxy another go. That's how I became a super fan of Zhao Lu Si.

I agree. Marijuana use is legal in some countries for a number of years now. 8 months jail for that seems excessive. The sentencing for these non- violent drug users, as opposed to punitive actions against the selling and distribution of illegal drugs, seem contradictory and harsh to their rehabilitation. By the same spirit, someone who is an alcoholic or a chain smoker should also be in jail? Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Bill Gates, Michael Phelps, Steve Job should also served behind bars? Some of us, on a high horse, can judge drug users as weaker beings but we should be grateful that we were never put in a trial where the only way out from our misery is escapism.

Zhou Ye looks convincing as He Yan in the photos. In fact she as a general looks better than Ryan Cheung 😆. As a female she looks gorgeous. Can't wait to see the rest of the crews.

My favourite novel so I too hold a lot of hope the He Yan is well portrayed like the book. Xiao Jue is much easier in comparison.

I prefer to watch C-drama nowadays. I've developed a taste for historical drama with its plot building, amazing costumes and drama set. I never thought I could watch 50+ episodes drama but now I do. I do read the reviews first before investing the time into a drama. C entertainment must have a lot more money invested into them. I think since watching dramas like Love in the Galaxy and Reset I am super super impressed with the Chinese storytelling style so not only have I switched over to C drama but I've also started reading Chinese historical fictions!

K drama also has a lot of cliffhangers and repetitive soapy songs which I don't really appreciate.

I've dropped this drama. Much too shallow to my liking.

Yes I too feel the same about her character at the start but it's not until she started Uni that we see the maturity kicks in. It's a story about teenager crush and infatuation. Once I clued on that this was her character I could relate to her story much much better. Zhao Lu Si acting is on point to whom she is supposed to be. I'm used to her being a strong character so this was a big change to see her taking this kind of role. She is such a versatile actress.

Yes I don't think C Drama is for everyone. It's paced differently because they tend to have more episodes. I just like how the story is padded out and there are more time for character growth. The FL does seem naive and her character is written like that but she grew to be a great character with time.

I'm watching this on Netflix in tandem with the C Drama Hidden Love. Part way through it becomes very obvious how amazing Hidden Love is, in contrast to the sub par storyline and acting of King Land drama. I've since dropped King Land. The couple of Hidden Love gives me what I want in a love story...the feel of romance and absolute thrill of watching a couple falling in love and staying in love. Zhao Lu Si hands down is an amazing ( and beautiful) actress. If this is the kind of quality C dramas are aiming for then rest assure they are going to overtake k drama in the near future in terms of popularity. I love this 24 episodes length.
