This was a mess of an ending. What was even the point of the whole drama if they are going to be in the same spot…
That's due to the censorship on time travel/rebirth stories. Just consider the "true" ending being before that. Off the top of my head, Mr bad, the day of becoming you, a dream within a dream and romance of tiger and rose all have that kind of ending because of the censorship on time travel/rebirth/transmigration stories. Admittedly some handle the endings better than others but we shouldn't fault the shows when they are forced to have these kind of endings. I personally disliked the entire final arc though, lol.
Ep19-23. Why? Just why? Sometimes keeping a simple fluffy story as just a simple fluffy story till the end is good. I wish more fluffy/slice of life shows were like hidden love and understood that there's no need for an explosive ending arc that will get viewers' blood pumping, head scratching and wow them.
oh I felt the exact opposite. The pace really picked up for me after the truth was revealed.
Most of these 40 episode historical dramas seem to do the same. First half is great, mainly focusing on the relationship between fl and ml as well as their family then second half brings in the palace and everything sucks. Off the top of my head destined, youthful glory and Si Jin do the exact same thing. They are all better in the first half before the palace takes center stage imo. Si Jin isn't as big of a drop off as the other 3 though
Hate it when characters get together and the ml is hiding something. It's just there for a future breakup/seperation when that secret is obviously accidentally exposed. Love the main couple and only watching for them but I'm dropping this at ep 27 because of the stupid ticking time bomb. I'm also tired of skipping Yu Da scenes,
9.5 before the last episode but drops to 8.5 because the last episode exists in the way it does. Easily would have made my top 10 and potentially top 5 if the last episode was done better and his extreme jealousy around episode 18 to 24 was toned down by a lot.
Why does the last episode treat their relationship like it's just about them dating and having feelings for each other? Their relationship was about their great friendship, make them reconcile as friends and then make them date not make it seem like it's all about them dating. The show is acting like they seperated after confessing/kissing/dating. Tf kind of reason was that for him to not come back? Just say he was depressed. Thinking about that last episode is pissing me off. Still a great show, best friendship I've seen between the 2 main leads.
Seeing ep 19 and 20 really makes me wish we had more scenes of them together earlier, or that there were atleast 10 episodes left to show how they reconcile and heal. This is kind of like the first frost with genders reversed when looking at it from a certain angle.
Fl constantly gets angry and "mistreats" ml from dumb misunderstandings and rumors and it's never acknowledged. She never apologizes or even shows any remorse for it, show just sweeps it under the rug or treats it like it's ml's fault
