It's the book ending.

I think he's the old prince living a dissolute life from the case with the opera singer.

I'm only at 25 but I saw him for the first time and went... "You look like the culprit." We'll see if I was right 🤣

I'm not sure she has either the brains or the ability to become a true nuisance, tbh. Plus, she's made sure she had zero support from anyone with her attitude, so...

It seems to be a real opera (I looked it up on YT), but I couldn't find the specific part they were singing.

I think the award for that goes to the people in Novoland: Pearl Eclipse, and the way the story revealed her gender made them all look even stupider than they already did.

I'm glad about that, but... what about Fu Ling and Bai Feng? Do they survive? Do they get their HEA? I'm scared for them, recent dramas LOVE to kill off the leads' loyal servants...

*an actual good drama aside from this one, I mean. The app is as wonky as always and won't let me edit my comment.

if you want to see ML in an actual good drama, check out The Blood of Youth. it's a fantastic wuxia story with excellent friendship and martial arts.

Just wanted to let you know I found your review endlessly entertaining. I tend to stay away from this type of drama (and Bai Lu's, since she seems to have a type) because I know it's going to go this way. Thank you for this wonderful review, and confirming that I made the right choice.

Yes, the actors aren't the problem here, even if I don't agree with most of the casting choices. But Lee Min Ho looks like he's sleepwalking in the trailer, and the whole thing looks cheap and just bad all around. The posters on their own are a huge red flag, that's how terrible they look.

Greed, plain and simple.

Netflix has money. The quality of their writers, on the other end... Plus, SL would have to be super CGI-heavy, so even with a lot of money, chances are it'll come out looking pretty bad.

For real, I'm so tired of seeing it everywhere as if it's the be-all, end-all of all things webtoon and anime. It's a good read, but nowhere near as perfect as everybody's making it out to be. And an(other) adaptation? ORV already looks beyond terrible, chances are this one isn't going to be any better.

The spoiler box, please! This is endangering the site!

Use the spoiler box, please. You're risking the site by just writing it this way.

I think his death was about more than hers, tbh. He'd already been very unhappy with his life, and I feel like she was the only light remaining in his life. When she died, what did he have left? (Apart from his cat, I hope his sister took care of it.)

Just finished it, I loved those two episodes so much, they were so satisfying!

Right? I agree! From the cast to the plot development, everything feels waaay better. And we don't even have those awkward silences that kept happening in the Korean one. I feel like the KDrama just dragged things on and on and on even when there was literally no story to tell anymore, so I feel like 10 episodes will be great to tell what's left of the plot.
