A lighthearted comedy for sunny days, without major dramas or mysteries.

The series is well-produced and very funny. It's a comedy that isn't afraid to be funny at all times, however, you can see that there will be dramatic developments, as there are people who want to harm the protagonist because he will be the next king.

This is a very common cliché, especially in Chinese dramas, where the protagonist unintentionally ends up involved in something that has nothing to do with her, something she didn't want, because she was mistaken for someone else. I personally am really enjoying watching it, mainly because I had never watched a Thai period drama before. However, if you like a serious story with dramatic development and full of political twists, this series is not for you. If you want to watch something light, funny, and full of culture, this is the series for you.

PS: Enjoy shines on screen whenever she appears.

It's a series with potential, let's see what the next episodes bring.

I had no expectations for this series, but as soon as it started, I was surprised. First, because the series is very well produced, I could see some new elements from Copy a Bangkok, such as the insertion of the characters' names introducing themselves on screen, the insertion of the characters' thoughts, and the insertion of secondary characters with more presence. These elements were not seen in their last productions, so I found it very interesting. The story as a whole is interesting to follow so far, well written and directed, nothing that leaves viewers confused.

In addition, I really liked the casting choice, because I watched Black Valentine and several actors are from that series, including Mint, who is played by the same actress who in Black Valentine had a character in love with Natty's character. In other words, it's as if Black Valentine fans could finally see what it would be like if they got together. I loved it. Also, the actor from My Imperfect Family is also in this series; He acted alongside Enjoy Thidarat last year, and I really liked his character (I hated his villain role, so he was a good actor, right?). And finally, the series director himself appears as a character. In the series, P'Cheewin plays himself and shows how a TV series works... I LOVED IT!!!

I'm loving the meta-language. Seeing a GL being built within another GL is very interesting. We can see each step of how a GL emerges, from the castings and workshops to the demands placed on the actresses, the criticism about who they date, and their sexual orientation. It's really cool to see this portrayed in the series, to open the fans' eyes to how much they interfere in the actresses' love lives.

P.S.: They need to give the character with short red hair a GL series. I'm saying this right after the first episode!
PS 2: I think Mint and Charm have more chemistry; I'd prefer the main couple to be Natty and Nycha... but I'll wait to be sure.

FIQUEI 1 MÊS SEM CONSEGUIR ASSISTIR MAIS NADA POR CAUSA DESSA SÉRIE

Quando assisti esse dorama não esperava que fosse tão bom, realmente... Fiquei 1 mês de ressaca por causa dessa série, não conseguia ver mais nada. Logo após assistir eu li os livros da Tang Qi mas nada supre a saudade que esse dorama trás. Vemos um deus antigo, um dos mais antigos que ainda estão vivos, que é sério e sem desejos mundanos ser o alvo romântico de uma raposinha fofa na flor da idade. Vemos a luta dela para conseguir a atenção dele (Da forma errada hahahaha) e quando ela desisti, ele começa a ir atrás dela. Vemos um amor lindo nascer, sou apaixonada por este casal. O universo todo da Tang Qi é fantástico, cheio de histórias incríveis. Nada é só "NADA DEMAIS", tudo tem uma história por trás. É fantástico.

NÃO DEIXEM DE ASSISTIR POR CONTA DESSA AVALIAÇÃO

O casal é fofo demais, não tem para bater no quesito fofura até hoje, dá vontade de levar os 2 para casa. Lindos demais. Foi muito divertido de assistir, não deixou pontas soltas, os secundários eram interessantes, os capangas do mal então? Eram divertidos demais! A mão dela, como eu ri das conversas com a mão dela hahahahah... Não teve nenhum momento que a história se arrastou, o final foi lindo demais e muito gratificante. Fiquei com medo do vilão, o que é bom, por que enquanto você ria de um lado se arrepiava do outro, foi um ótimo equilíbrio. Super acreditei no romance deles, fofíssimos. Deixou saudades.

Então por que 7,5? Não me emocionei (o que acho importante), o casal secundário não ficou junto e não teve motivos para isso, literalmente, apenas se juntaram e depois não deu certo e se separaram... Achei meio perda de "tempo de tela", e não teve plot.

NÃO DEIXEM DE ASSISTIR POR CONTA DESSA AVALIAÇÃO, eu gostei muito desse dorama, mesmo, a avaliação aqui é referente ao quão "completo" ele foi, não somente no quesito de gostar.

Forget everything you know about "toxic romance."

Don't worry, there's a way to save the series: JUST MAKE FLINT THE VILLAIN, AND HAVE SUN END UP WITH SOMEONE ELSE OR BE ALONE.
Why does Flint keep clinging to Sun all the time? I know that kind of scene is meant to create tension and give us butterflies, but when it happens 5 times in the first few episodes, and it's implied that the protagonists didn't have a history of flirting before, it feels strange. They know each other from the past, when Sun was still in high school and Flint still saw her as a little girl, so it doesn't make sense for her to just start attacking the girl every time she has the chance. It even seems like Flint made some kind of bet or something, because she goes after Sun every time she has a chance, even though there's NO atmosphere for it. And why does Sun always seem to be on the verge of tears? Does she have some past trauma or something? If so, fine, but if it's just to show how fragile the character is around Flint, I didn't like it. In 2 episodes she almost cries about 4 times. Enough already!

Another point I didn't like was Sun explaining herself by saying, "Do you really think I'm that kind of girl?", referring to the fake news that she was seen entering a hotel with a guy. What would be the problem? Couldn't she be dating a guy and go out with him on a date? Please! It's ridiculous for her to say that to Flint as if it were "absurd" for her to go out with a guy. Flint's justification is "You can't tarnish the company's image," so Sun can't be seen going out with a guy, but it's okay if she's seen going home with Flint? It doesn't make sense.

And when Flint keeps interfering in Sun's work? What was that? Please, there's no way to ruin an artist's career more than always having someone behind them, demanding scene changes, script alterations, etc. And the worst part is that Flint believes everyone except Sun. It doesn't matter if the girl says 20 times that she's not dating a guy, Flint always believes others, discredits Sun, and even demands behavior from her that Flint herself doesn't have... Flint is like: "Don't flirt with guys, don't date anyone, don't act in on-screen kisses, don't even let your photographer touch you... but I can do all that with you, even though we're nothing to each other"... But Flint, she already said she's not having a romance with that actor! - "But the actor said he is, and I believe him more than Sun." But Flint, even if she were dating the actor, that's none of your business; it would even be good for boosting ratings for their show! "It doesn't matter! I act as if I'm dating Sun, as if she were mine, so she must obey me, submit to my interference and not talk back... and anyone's word is more important than hers."

And the worst part is that she makes up that she slept with the girl because she was annoyed with Nope! SERIOUSLY? Who's more awful, Nope or Flint? I'm honestly starting to think Nope is a "better" option. How can the show criticize Nope for inventing a romance when the protagonist herself does the same thing?

The only good thing about this show, and what saves it, is the secondary couple!
I wasn't going to say anything, but since it's a sensitive subject, I decided to elaborate: Regarding the "problematic scene," all I have to say is:

* She was crying;
* Pushing the person away with all her might;
* Afraid;
* Asking to stop several times;
* And she says "Yes" at the end because she saw that if she gave in, it would end faster, because there was no way to escape, because Flint wouldn't "hurt her as much," and because she would come out looking "right" in the end.

This is not consent, it's instinct for self-preservation: When we give in to something we know we don't want and that will be painful, but we know that if we don't give in, it will be worse. It doesn't matter if she has feelings for Flint or not, and whoever uses that as an excuse is normalizing marital rape, be careful! Loving doesn't mean having a duty to give in even if you don't want to. If this scene were between a man and a woman, we wouldn't even be discussing it.

And before you say "but that's how it is in real life," "but that's a problematic relationship that will get better later": 1) In what life is this "normal"? In the life of a victim! Because in a RELATIONSHIP this is not normal, and if it is for you, I advise you to see a psychologist urgently. Yes, in real life this happens, and when it does, we call the police, report it, and separate the victim from the abuser. We don't leave the abuser with the victim and say, "calm down, he will improve in the future! Your relationship can still work out." 2) This is not a problematic relationship. A problematic relationship doesn't include a victim and a criminal; it includes two people who have PROBLEMS that can be solved with conversation, therapy, etc. Problems, not crimes. Understand?

It's crazy that in "Call Me By No Name" exactly what's happening now is happening. A woman abuses another woman, but when she reports it to the police, nothing happens because people claim that "this doesn't happen" between women, people don't see it as a "crime" because it's illogical to think that a woman could abuse another out of "malice." It must just be a misunderstanding... So you who are defending this scene are exactly the same as the people who didn't defend the protagonist of "Call Me By No Name"... I never thought I'd see this happening.

UMA HISTÓRIA DE AMOR REALISTA E POÉTICA AO MESMO TEMPO

VAMOR POR PARTES:
ROMANCE: O casal não se apaixona de cara. Shao Shang fica noiva de outro pretendente para só depois abrir os olhos para o nosso Ling Bu Yi. Já o Ling Bu Yi, se apaixona a primeira vista por Shao Shang, e isso é lindo, por que vemos como ele realmente ama nossa menina, já que não interfere no romance, não força uma aproximação, ele faz o possível para que ela seja feliz mesmo que não seja com ele, e a protege de longe.
Quando o a relação dos 2 começa, vemos como bem devagarzinho eles vão se aproximando. Vemos o Ling Bu Yi apaixonado desde o primeiro episódio, e ficamos torcendo para quando finalmente ele vai ser amado também. Enquanto o amor dele nasce com apenas 1 olhar, a amor da Shao Shang nasce de muitas experiências juntos, muitos momentos, carícias e demonstrações de afeto. Quanto ela resolve se abrir e dar uma chance de verdade ao Ling Bu Yi, vemos como ela se "esforça" para se deixar apaixonar por ele. Quando finalmente ela se vê apaixonada por ele, é muito lindo. Eles formal um vínculo inquebrável de amor, um amor fortalecido, enraizado e indestrutível. É bacana como até mesmo os demais personagens da série acreditam no amor deles, ao ponto deles declararem que o Ling Bu Yi não aceitará ninguém além da Shao Shang para ser sua esposa, e que a Shao Shang não aceitará ninguém que não for o Ling Bu Yi para ser seu esposo, que se não for assim eles preferem ficar sozinhos a vida inteira.

PROTAGONISTAS: Shao Shang é livre, divertida, inteligente, sagaz, astuta e muito cativante. Em momentos de crise porém, ela sabe ser muito valente e não desiste de seus ideias e da justiça. Ling Bu Yi é sério, destemido, justo, determinado e heroico. Quando se trata da Shao Shang ele é amoroso, sensível, carinhoso, abnegado e altruísta. Eles evoluem ao longo da série e amadurecem.

SECUNDÁRIOS: Me apaixonei pela Wan Qi Qi hahahaha... Pena que ela não tem participação, principalmente na 2ª temporada. Amo os irmãos da Shao Shang (Lembram muito os meus irmãos) a forma como eles protegem ela, a família toda dela tem um conjunto muito bom, mas nenhum personagem é mais amado que o imperador acredito hahahah... Simplesmente colocaram a alma de uma dorameira dentro do imperador, nunca vi um personagem torcer tanto pelos protagonistas. Aprendemos a amar as duas imperatrizes, o que é estranho, mas bom por que as duas são casadas com o mesmo homem, porém as duas tem uma relação linda como de duas irmãs.

GERAL: Há misto de tensão, humor e emoção. Na maior parte do tempo estamos tensos com algumas situações. Acredito que faltou um pouco mais de humor para equilibrar bem. Há um plot inesperado que vem do nada! E as vezes ocorrem coisas coisas inesperadas com personagens secundários que trazem desequilíbrio a toda a história, e fazem ela mudar de rumo. Não houve momentos maçantes pelo que me lembro, os 58 episódios passaram voando. Fiquei com muuuita saudades, e estou realmente tentada a assistir novamente, mas realmente isso ocorrer, vou esperar um pouco para não enjoar.

Então por que 8,5? Faltou apenas um pouco mais de alívio cômico ao meu ver, pois havia muitas partes tensas e é necessário ter um equilíbrio. Gostaria de ter visto o casamento do casal principal, visto que um dos temas principais da série é este casamento, há muita luta, obstáculos e desafios para que aconteça, e no final não aparece. Sendo algo tão importante (quase um personagem da série), fiquei decepcionada por não ter aparecido. Para finalizar, não houve muitos momentos de emoção.

TALVEZ EU ESTIVESSE DE RESSACA (AOS) , MAS REALMENTE NÃO GOSTEI

A história em si é bem interessante, mas teve pontos negativos demais ao meu ver: O plot da história é bom, mas não é algo que a gente já não desconfie ao decorrer da série. Não tem muito alívio cômico, o que torna a história um tanto quanto maçante. Os personagens secundários não são atrativos (tirando o amigo bobão, esse é top). Também não houve momentos muito emocionantes ao meu ver, então a história não pendeu para nenhum dos lados, e ficou morna. Várias pontas ficaram soltas (Ela casou com ele e aceitou ser a rainha? Se sim, como ela conseguiu viver no outro mundo sem documentos? Ela deixou o pai? Se ela não aceitou ser a rainha, com quem o rei se casou?). Por fim, não acreditei de verdade no amor do casal, acho que ocorreu muito forçadamente e começou a parecer com um casal quando eles já estavam juntos a muito tempo.

Episode by episode (no spoilers). By the end, I hope to improve my grade.

>>> The actresses are soooo bad :( . Besides, the story hasn't grabbed me yet. Wan dreaming about Kim doesn't make the LEAST DIFFERENCE IN THE SERIES so far. I hope that you get better.
>>> I'm finding the story very silly so far. And this story about the friends who fought is very boring so far, but I'll keep trying to watch it. Not to mention that when they enter the dream, the quality of the series is so bad that it seems to be from 2010. If it were a series from a small studio, which is just starting out, that would be fine, but it's from Idol Factory! Improve this, please! I'm trying hard here.
>>> The story hasn't caught up with me yet. I spent 4 days trying to finish episode 2. It's difficult, but I'll keep trying, as I hope it gets better, as we're still on episode 3. But what they are doing is wrong! They're playing very dirty, in many series it's normal to include "Easter eggs" from other series from the same studio to attract fans' attention, and I really like that, I'm in love when it happens, but the way they're doing it is shameful.
Clearly they are putting in elements from the "GAP" series just to appeal to the fans, they are playing with the fans, it's not possible.

***The fact that ALL the background music is the same as the "GAP" series I even understand, as it's from the same studio so let's say they are "taking advantage" of the songs they already have.
***The fact that the protagonist is a fan of the GAP series is also understandable, because who isn't?
***The fact that they used the "GAP" script in one of Wan's acting training scenes is super understanding too.

But make them sing the "GAP" song? Serious? I was ashamed of them, it was very forced.

In all the episodes there is some element of GAP, but they don't do it in a fun and relaxed way. They do this in an extremely FORCED way. Okay, that's enough! We already understand that you also did GAP, now take advantage of the fact that fans trust you and show that they don't need to depend on GAP to make a series shine, that you are very good at what you do! We want a good story, there's no point in filling it with GAP elements!
