I love Choi Woo Shik and liked Somin's earlier works so I was excited for a good rom com. The problem is the writing…
genuinely asking as there any romcom that's not predictable and tropey? not just korean ones but any romcom. this is a bad year for kdrama as whole but I love Somin and marriage of convenience is a trope I will always love so Im watching
Im so happy to see the princess find a backbone. What if she gets to be the one taking both Xia brothers down? that would be so badass. Also the current Susha emperor dont seem that bad for real
"This drama should help Ryan Cheng graduate from web dramas for good" and it did. That's how I found this drama. This is a great review. I agree with everything you said. It felt like the 2 female spies were support characters for Gong bros
ep 25 ; that scene when main leads make love looks SO similar to the one in kunning palace. Also the huge random lights I remember not being able to watch SOKP because the cinematography was ass there like the camera work, the lightening, the make up, the editing etc was so incredibly fugly it hurt my eye. I had no idea this had the same director 🥴 those first episodes were great but its getting worse every episode. its starting to resemble SOKP for real still invested in the story tho
Watched it for my love Cheng lei and discovered two other actors to obsess over. Jia rui and Yu xiao caught my attention for their amazing performances. And omg Esther is not acting 5 for once. more of these roles please. But in all honesty I shouldn't have done that. I had read so many comment saying the story is unfinished and there is no plan for season 2 and yet I still caved in because of its amazing cinematography and characters styling. ( tiktok is to be blamed..... and Cheng lei) It just doesn't move forward. Everything is so slowwww. Lots of talking and alluding to stuff without anything actually happening and none of the important questions get answers. Also the slow whispering delivery of the line gets pretentious at some point. All style no substance drama
Who will be the Emperor? I actually am starting to think that Yao and Sui Ge could team up and forgive each other.…
I mean, Sui ge is the mail lead and no one says a fictional story has to follow real world logic to a T so I believe he will be the king and will get the girl too. but we have to wait and see
I’m actually siding with the emperor. ML should blame his mother for willingly choose to marry and have kids…
you're siding with the emperor? that pathetic man KILLED the mother of his kids because he didnt want them to be influenced by her. Do you hear yourself? If anything she saw him for what he actually was, an unworthy power obsessed freak. no wonder she was done with him I dont care what he wanted for his son nothing could justify the bullshit he put Sui ge through. He should've been a parent to his kid
Am I the only one who appreciates the "flimsy", "petty" villain backstories? Most villains are…
I dont need to understand them nor do I need them to have more depth. I just wish we dont get anymore antagonist because we already have ... like.... 6 of them Also I want the male lead to stop getting tortured

Im so impatient Im reading the novel now. its my first time reading one
Also the current Susha emperor dont seem that bad for real
