I'm surprised that - In A Class Of Her Own - isn't here. The drama is absolutely brilliant and I actually am enjoying the adaptation more than the original Kdrama (Sungkyunkwan Scandal) don't kill me, I'm watching both! x_x
To be honest, it's been so long since I've seen a good drama that I'm eagerly anticipating some of these shows. The golden hairpin, Marry Me, The Young Lady of the general's house, Yu Long... (I love these type of xianxia stories ;X) having 4 shows to wait for is already amazing.
I dropped this at episode 40. I'll check it out depending on how the ending is concluded. I feel like the beginning of this show was awesome, as a fan of the novel I was super satisfied, but the more the show dragged on the more I felt the main ship did not receive the attention and justice they are due. Phoenix of the novel seemed extremely passionate and powerful like the blazing sun, I felt like he was driven by Jin Mi in any of his actions, here, however he feels bland...I feel like in the show, somehow Run Yu became far more interesting and complex. It sucks to say because Deng Lun is one of my favorite actors and I loved him being caster as phoenix . Not to mention the main couple barely have any screentime and I found myself skipping so many scenes..I thought this would surpass Ten miles of peach blossoms, but I ended up rewatching some TMOPB episodes in between watching this show and, I feel sad to say that it doesn't come close. Maybe the couple didn't have enough scenes together, I don't know...I just don't feel any strong burning love as I did when I read the novel. If anything...The only powerful love I really felt in this show was of Run Yu's, where he went as far as to lie to manipulate his love interest just to keep her by his side. ( The beginning of a good yandere)
Jin Mi's greatest love - after watching episode 33
It's defnitely Rou Rou! My god, until they meet again and now she's really gone for good. In the novel Jin Mi really had it going with Phoenix, but I would say tthat in the drama Rou Rou wins the lover position!
