It's not just because he was dying, before he met her becoming the ruler of the world was his only ambition, he…
Sure, I understand that. But it seems a little out of character for such responsible people. Don’t get me wrong I do like the drama. Just annoyed at the ending. Had it not been a happy ending, I might have been more annoyed.
Okay. Finally done. I’ve got to say a good drama and I like the Chemistry between the leads and the overall plot.
But.
What on earth is that ending?
Lusi plays a warrior who apparently spends years fighting and barely getting hurt, but the second Hei Fengxi starts paying some interest, she starts needing medical attention every 3 or so episodes.
I really don’t get the ending. How did a man who was enraging-ly sly and calculative end up leaving the position he spent his entire life trying to get so he could live in a hut in the middle of nowhere with his wife?
And Xi Yun was a woman who liked being free, but was more loyal to her family and people and she too abandons them. I get it, he was dying and they wanted to spend time together. Which is also something I am fond of. They were doing just fine, the writers had no need to pull the whole “few more years to live trope.”
In such situations the bitter sweet ending I expected was that she would need to give up her freedom to roam about with no care in the world. Instead in the few years, her character would become a widow with no people, no family nothing. Nice.
All I want to tell the C Drama writers is “stop giving all your historical King/Prince role MLs a short life span. Sure, a lot of them died early back then, but I doubt their stories were the same as in your dramas.”
Just finished this one. Really fresh presentation of the same old story. No complaints with the actors. But what was that ending. The last few episodes were just bland in comparison to the beginning. At least everyone got a happy ending.
Oh but I’ve got to say my favourite part is how Sung Hoon is always so formal and keeps himself at a respectable distance from the main lead and his grandfather, despite them thinking of him as a brother and grandson respectively. That is unless he drinks. The second he starts drinking or even wants something, the main lead becomes his Hyeong. Adorable.
Hi All, I’m waiting for this one to be done to start. How’s it going? Do you recommend? What do you like about…
Oh wow! I wasn’t expecting these comments. I’ve been seeing a lot of positive comments about the drama, but thanks for the honesty.
I’ll probably check it out after it’s done. The Thai BL scene has been getting better gradually, I’ve been hoping the recent ones keep the quality I’ve noticed on some of the new dramas.
I’ve been stalling on this one since all the reviews seem good. Wanted to watch it all together and avoid being miserable waiting for each episode. Time to indulge.
I was hoping Chung Ah’s role, would be stronger on the intellectual side at the least. But first and third child were clearly beyond brilliant and just left her in the dust.
Was a bit disappointing. She was reduced to the sad, traumatised character by the end.
9/10, i was actually contemplating to give it 8 but i feel like i'm betraying nam goong min's acting HAHAHHA i…
I agree with some of your points. I was hoping to see more from Jamie and the fourth child. I get that she wasn’t the toughest of the kids, physically. Pretty sure the other three were always meant to be stronger and the flashbacks show she had a tougher time with the physical changes. But she was supposed to be quite brilliant. A lot of her deductions were so wrong and that just disappointed me. Didn’t feel it as much as I’d hoped.
I really like how unapologetic the villains are here. They aren’t really justifying or hiding or apologising for their actions once caught. Because to them, what they are doing is right and they stand by it. They spent years committing to their work and crimes, to them that is their life, nothing else is really more significant.
Such a nice contrast to all those villains who suddenly get hit by guilt or turn good within days, hours or minutes. These guys, ask for understanding, they wonder why others don’t see that their actions and mission is far greater than several lives.
Its one of the best bl series i have seen so far. But what i didn't like was the end. It would have been a perfect…
They straight up decided Porsche had to be miserable. His family is almost torn. The man he loves is dead. Even his boyfriend’s ex is dead (I was hoping at least he’d have a friend or something to share his pain). He ends up living in an elephant camp raising his lover’s ex’s child. For a second I was worried Watt might come back to claim his kid, just to make things extra miserable.
Watching the drama right now. At episode 7. So far there have been a lot of questionable scenes in the drama, but I just cannot stand Coach Mai. As someone with power over her students, she has no right to use her position to abuse Min, who is her student, not her boyfriend, and is clearly not interested. It is unfair exploitation, and she should not be allowed to be a coach with this behaviour. This can be overlooked if it was a consensual relationship between adults, here both are adults, but Min is clearly not comfortable and it counts as abuse.
And going to warn another student to stay away from a relationship, using the ruse of a concerned coach, when she was clearly acting due to her own selfish and very personal reasons. The least she could have done is kept her personal and professional lives separate even if it overlapped.

Just curious ;)
I am all for healthier BL dramas. So refreshing for a change.
There are some plot holes and things left behind, but overall it was quite fun and I enjoyed the characters.
Wish me luck!

My brain feels fuzzy.
Also are there ducks there because the place used to be a pond years ago?
What am I even thinking?
So many questions…but I am not sure I want the answer to any of them.
