Wtf happen to the rating dropped to 8.3? No way it is this low. Who tf is hating on this? 👿
You took the words right out of my mouth!
I get more and more the impression that there are some fan girlies going around MDL to down-rate any drama that doesn't feature their favourite pretty-boy. Seen the same thing happening with Royal Rumours recently... It's fine to be a fan/supporter or whatever, but why does it have to mean disrespecting everyone else's work.
I am enjoying this drama. Non-toxic, No-heavy heart feeling and just a little plotting. It feels how two main…
It's always best to form your own opinion... I think said U-tuber is simply a bit too prejudiced against the genre, so if her followers can't think for themselves, they're just going to miss out on a lot of fun.
What a heartwarming romantic drama. I especially loved the ending scene. So many romance dramas don't even bother…
Just reading the novel now and I love it! I hope more of her writing gets adapted to drama, especially if, like in this one she avoids a lot of the lame tropes that I hate in this genre. In 3L3W they followed the novel for the ending which also just ends like that, same as the sequel Eternal Love of Dream. It's really disappointing when the drama is slow going in the beginning and then after X episodes they don't have time for a proper ending. For me the worst offender was LLTG, draggy as hell in the first few episodes and then a rushed ending.
Watched two episodes for now and as expected the visuals and CGI are stunning and the acting is top-notch. The story was intriguing from the start and easy to follow even for someone who hasn't read the novel. I am, however, a bit disappointed with the OST... I had been hoping for something a bit more dramatic. In the opening theme the music is so much louder than the singer's voice which kind of spoils it for me and the waltz as ending theme seems totally out of place. No matter what lyrics they put on it, a waltz in itself says happy-happy-happy.
This sounds like Lost Track of Time. She goes back 10 years and this time she is no longer innocent but born with…
There's s ton of webnovels with more or less the same plot (re-born, change things, former enemies fall in love) out there. I just hope and pray that they won't all make it to our screens. This whole re-birth/transmigration thing is such a lame trope and it doesn't get any better by repeating it...
Absolutely! There are many a lot less cleverly done dramas that score higher than that! The nice thing is that…
Compare this to, just as an example, Legend of YunXi (wooden acting, plotholes the size of a small country, obsessive pointless characters, bad ending - still 8.1) or Blooms at Ruyi Pavillion (bad writing, unbelievable premise, fillers, plotholes - still 8.2) and you will see that 8 isn't a fair rating for a drama that had good acting, a decent script, no annoying characters and close to no plot holes. Even the recently aired Warm on a Cold Night, which was fun but nothing to write home about managed to get a 8.2 rating. I just feel whenever there are some pretty boys in a drama the rating is inflated for no reason, while dramas with grown-up actors get an overly critical assessment.
It's one of those point that they have taken over from the novel, but without letting us see any situations that…
I assume the "dude in white" you mean is Yun Han. In the drama version the CP rescued Yun Han ten years ago during some big conflict (which will be explained later in the drama) since then Yun Han has been working for him to gather intelligence and do secret missions. Being a musician is his cover. The CP trusts him because he believes that his assessment of the person he saved was right, so he has faith in him despite all the warning signs. In the novel they don't know each other and the CP just has Yun Han shipped off to the prison/quarry out of jealousy.

He is very smart (and therefore quickly annoyed by dumb people), if hard working, I cannot say, I'm still reading and so far the novel doesn't say anything about that. In he novel the FL is slightly different: she wants to be remembered as a sickly beauty and has no intention of marrying but instead she is looking for a kind of beautiful toyboy to keep her amused (hence the interest in Yun Han). She has inherited the love of beauties from her father (in the novel her mother was known to have been the most beautiful woman in the capital when she was young). Her relationship with the Crown Prince is initially only a "cheering up a sad beauty" because whenever he is in a bad mood she thinks he is missing his dead loved-one (she doesn't know that the dead person is his mother) and she imagines a tragic love-story because she read some romantic books. In the novel she is only 15 years old, so her ideas are sometimes still a bit naive. I've read about a third of the book so far and she still hasn't realised that the CP giving her all these gifts and taking every occasion to spend time with her means he could be interested in her...
I've been camping since the drama ended😅can't let go, but it's time to move on... 🥲. All's well that ends…
I'm planning on watching it all over again once I finish reading the novel... It will be funny to see all the quirky little details from the novel that they used, sometimes with a slight twist.
:( awww the rating keeps dropping Im at ep 14 and I think this drama is pretty decent It deserves an overall/average…
Absolutely! There are many a lot less cleverly done dramas that score higher than that! The nice thing is that this drama remains rounded all the way through to the end, there's no drop in quality in the 2nd half, nor a rushed ending. It deserves much better than 8.1!
It's one of those point that they have taken over from the novel, but without letting us see any situations that would justify it.
In the novel, the Crown Prince is similar to Hua Liuli in that he also pretends a lot. He pretends to be lazy and uninterested in governing the country. Many officials permanently criticise him for that. He cannot stand dumb or ugly people, so the staff in his Eastern Palace life in permanent fear of being transferred somewhere else if they behave too stupidly. He has a poisonous tongue aiming for a person's weakest spot in no time (and that includes family members...) Once he starts having feelings for Hua Liuli he becomes outright ruthless towards anyone who dares upset her (or get in his way). Just because Hua Liuli seems to be interested in pretty boy Yun Han he has him arrested and sent to a quarry for hard labour.
He knows his father will always back him up, so he doesn't care about all the gossip about him.
