Better read the novel 🤧It explains in detail from the moment they met 10 years ago to how they actually feel…
What chapter are you now? Y'know I'm rereading it. If you feel the angst in the first 50 chapters is intense, the later part of angst will be more painful 🥲
I thought this was a family drama, but then they tried to add some mystery in it, but in the end it is a family drama.
Unlike everyone else, for me this drama is underwhelming and painfully slow. It could've ended in just 8 eps or 9 at most. The mystery was just left hanging. Then we have 2 episodes for an ending. Usually a drama gives 2 to 10 minutes of ending, but this drama gave 2 episodes!
Hiroto here annoys me for being too kind and accepting. He wasn't even mad when his life was ruined and exposed, as if it was just a passing wind. Instead it was his friend who was angry.
The acting of Mi is very good! He really outshines everyone else.
Mr. White is very kind!!! The kindest of all! I mean for a stranger, he did everything he could 😭
Other thing I like is the cop. He is a cutie and kind, with lean muscular body. It was hilarious when he stripped off his shirt twice 😂
Other than that, it's just mediocre. They tried, really tried, with the mystery, but failed in execution and conclusion.
Wow, this makes sense. If they had a bigger budget, they could follow this more closely. But considering the obvious…
I have absolutely no problem with the acting. I like the styling as well, different from other drama.
I think the very reason is they didn't want to make the FL commits adultery. They also wanted to focus on the romance, erasing the enemies to lovers plot, bcos the novel doesn't have that much romance in the first half.
Better read the novel 🤧It explains in detail from the moment they met 10 years ago to how they actually feel…
The novel is less than 100 chapters. In just 30 chapters you'll find a lot of missing information from the drama, especially their actual feelings. The very PEAK was chapter 46-49!
I cannot help to ship the FL with SML. I hope to see more of SML his expression get me the feels especially when…
Better read the novel 🤧 It explains in detail from the moment they met 10 years ago to how they actually feel for e/o before she finally let go of him. Instead of misunderstanding, it is more that they can't communicate truthfully and properly.
i like li shu, i've found her to be a very pleasing fl since the first episode. she is quite well written, which…
It has been in the history that the crown prince can't be dethroned casually unless he commits treason or dies. He can only be reprimanded or punished. After dethroning the crown prince, it will take a whole chaos to decide which prince should be the crown prince. Besides, only the empress born son can be the crown prince, unless the empress has no other son.
I happened to read the novel way before they started filming and loved it. I was excited for this to air, but after I watched it I was deeply disappointed.
I guess bcos Li Hongyi is more popular, the scriptwriter made him a hero, instead of a scholar. I mean, Li Hongyi can't possibly play a weak man, can he?
Shen Xiao is POOR. He barely has money. For 10 years he spent time solely to study. But somehow in the drama Shen Xiao is so skilled in martial arts??? Shen Xiao is also very aloof, cold, barely speaks and lowers his eyes in presence of his masters. Yet here in the drama he is utterly arrogant, unruly, no manners. How could an 8th rank official barged into the prince and princess houses, with one hand behind, as if he owns the place? He pointed his sword towards his master; yelled at everyone in the court despite his majesty's presence. Logically speaking, Shen Xiao should've been flogged just by barging into the mansion without invitation.
The novel plot is enemies to lovers troupe, but here Shen Xiao is smitten by her during their one night stand???? They already became inseparable lovers, willing to die for the other 😂
The reason they were enemies was bcos Shen Xiao's dignity as scholar was trampled by Li Shu. Which was why he wanted a revenge, pulling her down from grace. He felt disgusted seeing her. Li Shu herself felt he is a threat that must be eliminated. She didn't even want to see him nor get associated with him.
His feelings towards her changed when he saw her in plain inner clothes. The time when he found her after she fell from a cliff was the first time he understood the real her, as they shared deep conversations.
From enemies they became allies, with Shen Xiao holds a one sided feelings.
The deep entanglement between Li Shu and Cui Jinzhi is barely explained. Li Shu and Cui Jinzhi deeply loved e/o for 10 years. He was her light of hope. However, 2 years after their marriage, he brought home his long lost courtesan, angering Li Shu. This wretch is also the very reason why the couple can't have proper conversation. Cui Jinzhi never loved the courtesan nor did he ever touch her, they don't even share bed. The one he ever loved is Li Shu.
Know your enemy. Learn about his psychology and pattern to catch him sooner.
The plot itself is good, but the pacing is slow. Everyone is so dumb and lost their common sense. The witness could've said something to help, but he didn't. They know who the killer is, and he is right in front of them, yet they still can't get their hands on him!? It's being dragged again and again. What are you waiting for?? The basic investigation should be "search the house"! That simple! 😪
I feel suffocated bcos in that era, the media was so cruel and biased. People were manipulated and unsympathetic towards the victims and their families.
The drama is good, the acting is good, especially the ML and the psycho. But after you watch it, you'll feel a lot of things are missing the points. It becomes underwhelming and unsatisfying.
Tbh I feel frustrated watching this not bcos the drama is bad. And why does he get imprisoned for a long time for something small? He didn't do any harm! In fact what he did should be justified!
I like this drama. It is light like Unnatural. It's not heavy nor gloomy, it has some comedy in it.
Dean Fujioka is ageless huh? He still looks so young! His character is quirky and sweet.
The FL, Kiryuu is underwhelming. Idk what's her purpose there. She has no effect towards the team nor the cases.
The detective, Dojima is much cooler. She's like the femme fatale. I really want to see more action from her, catch the criminals.
I like that each member has their own episode. They are all so sweet and loyal, and they all good looking as well.
I feel the last 2 eps could have more impact, especially since the story had a build up on "seemingly corrupt" people, but it was all for nothing? What was all that for?
Overall this is good for you if you are tired with heavy and psychologically demanding drama.
He is indeed a real dangerous man in the novel, a real red flag who doesn't care about humans life, except the FL's life. He can sacrifice the innocent and looks down on everyone except the FL. He also threatens the men around her, even threatens her when she says she wants to cancel the engagement. Even the novel author never said he is a green flag. Those who don't read the novel will surely say he is a green flag, thanks to the scriptwriter.
Imo she is much better than some actress, but while they keep getting FL roles, Kong Xueer doesn't.

Hoping for them to do another romance like Love is Sweet, Immortal Samsara or TTEOTM is hard, especially female centric.

I even thinking of sharing some inner monologs from the novel about the actual feelings of the 3 main characters.
I thought she was born in 99-02!

I can keep going on, but it will never end.
What kind of cop who keeps working alone despite having subordinates? He is neither superman nor understand tech. Only a stressed old fashioned man.
Everytime I see the "influencer" I really want to shove my shoes into his throat 😡 all 4 of them should have gone to jail!
The killer took the wrong path, instead of following the law. Thanks to that, they became internet celeb for doing absolutely nothing (read: trash).
The reason for killing is dumb. If only he follows the law, he could bribe people to beat them up in prison.
Overall it is a very dumb plot trying to justify his killing.
