I agree with you. The dynamics are no more there as only He Jiong remains.

Its an idol drama....what do you expect....hahaha..ML can't be too ruthless and cold. ML will stay in the grey area until....

The leads will lose fans and viewership will drop.

Hmmmm not sure if Hello Saturday should be treated as a new variety show or a revamping/rebranding of Happy Camp.

Anyways, its happening!!

Many commenters here seem to draw references or claim similarities between SSS and JoL due to same casts, production crew, etc.

But I think there are also few similarities with GoT. The ruler of Bei Liang/North Liang is the King of the North!! Daenerys had baby dragons and XFN has baby hukui(s) before they become powerful rulers of their kingdoms.

Ending post credit in ep.5 doesn't show much progress as we already know one of the spies got shot and Young Ro realized she can no longer trust Sooho and will fight him to save all the students.

Yeah, it is not adaptation from a novel so its difficult to predict or give away any spoilers 😔

Reminds me of Kim Jung Hyun, SML in CLOY.

I hope someone can provide spoilers for ep. 6 and 7 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@Cho NaThanks again for another good article!

I am not a fan of the 3x leading actors but the story of the drama kept me going and continue to watch every episode.

Why? Why? Why? F4 franchise is always very popular no matter which country's production it come from, why one episode in a week only? The wait for the next episode is unbearable 😔😔😔

This is a good and enjoyable Cdrama anyone can binge in a day or two for 20 episodes straight.

Although some plots are overly dramatized but they were done to make it more funny. Also the drama has quality in casting, production and materials so it is not a low budget Mango drama. All the 3 FLs have equal storytelling screen time, character development and wardrobe.

The last 3 episodes are the funniest and I hope the producers will do a Season 2.

I re-rated 1 point higher for the last few episodes.

Its a long, well researched and colourful article. I really like the article and read every sentence. Now I know the larger picture of the mythology behind the Habeuk story.

The Bride of Water God was an underwhelming kdramaand truly a wasted opportunity to tell a good story. The FL's good acting didnt save the bad script, poor editing and CGI. I watched to the very last episode hoping it will end will a blast....but didnt. So I was disappointed.

I think it is Evan Lin's personal style. If you watched his earlier work called The Crush, his hair was the same.

Oh yes the Japanese Bamboo Noodles Slides in Kyoto. I learned about this from watching an old ep. of Donnie Yen and Nicholas Tse trying to catch the noodles from the water steam in Chef Nic - Mandarin travel and food
program.

Anyway coming back to the drama, although Li Ziqi had recreated the traditional floating food rotator as shown in Utube, but does it go way back to Tang dynasty, which was the era drama was in.

Yes. Satisfactory ending.

Atleast the ending is not abrupt and has loose ends/unexplained big question marks like those typical low budget mid tier idol drama.

1st half is still follow the idol drama formula in storytelling, arcs, character development and pacing. The focus was more on romantic relationships, revenge and redemption.

2nd half was more about the revolution during the Republican era and how it was impacting all the characters lives.

I am glad none of the handsomes turned evil and greedy. Evan Lin still looks very handsome without that strand of hair placed horizontally to divide the fringe in the last 10 mins of the last wp. 36 😂😂😂 CXX acting has improved and noticed he did most of stunts himself 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

FL is also playing her role well as she has shown alot maturity and bravery, not neglected.


Tan Si 😭😭😭

Thanks for sharing!👍🏻👍🏻

I am also at ep. 8.

I was laughing hard about the unverified "olden ways" of serving aristocrats using sushi conveyor belt 😂😂😂

ALP? Ohhh Ancient Love Poetry! Yes, more than 10k. I just checked.

I could be wrong but only this drama and Long Ballad have breached 10k comments for 2021 Cdrama costume category.
