I had the same feeling. I've watched other dramas since VOS ended, but I haven't found anything as grand as it.…
Exactly, It’s the kind of drama that hits deep. I feel like there weren’t enough sweet scenes; they spent most of the time suffering. I watched Pursuit of Jade and I liked it, but I got bored around the middle and ended up skipping parts. I was shocked it’s so highly rated despite the dragging plot, though I still gave it a good score. I don’t understand the strict reviews for Veil of Shadows either, Everything was so well-rounded and wrapped up perfectly 😭 It just goes to show you really shouldn’t trust ratings alone!
I'm now realizing that I shouldn't trust the ratings lol. I think I enjoy most dramas I watch whether low budget…
I totally agree! I also don’t get what people actually expect from a drama sometimes. Take this one, for example: the costumes were beautiful, the chemistry between the leads was great, and the actors were not only good-looking but also delivered solid performances. The story felt fresh and it’s honestly one of the best Wuxias out there. I feel like people nowadays either get bored too easily or expect everything to cater exactly to their personal taste; otherwise, they just tank the rating
I don’t know about you, but I found all those events genuinely entertaining. What I loved was that the FL wasn’t…
I see you’re around ep13, where they’re just starting to introduce the ML’s side. To be honest, many of those new characters have very little screen time, I didn’t even remember half of them until I checked the episode just now! they aren’t even crucial to the plot. The main leads are the ones who really matter, so keeping your focus on them is enough. Also, I feel giving it a 1-star rating is a bit harsh. I totally get that this drama isn’t your cup of tea and why you decided to drop it, but a ‘1’ feels a little unfair, especially since you mentioned you liked the actors and they were the reason you started it. Personally, if I don’t like a show and drop it, I just leave it unrated. + I’m not trying to force you to change your mind or spread any hate, just sharing my perspective, don't mind
Is this too heavy on politics and palace schememing, cuz I was planning to give this a try but I really get bored…
I feel the same! That’s actually why I couldn’t finish Story of Kunning Palace and ended up skipping through the second half. However, I’m watching this one for the cast, and their chemistry is good. You can do what I do and just skip the political parts
This drama is really beautiful and it became one of my top favorites!! Fortunately that I don't depend on Ratings…
Ratings on MDL aren’t exactly reliable; there are always dramas that get review-bombed by haters. I’m usually pretty stingy with my ratings, but this drama is truly impressive.
This is the kind of story with a lot going on but I kept wondering if I really needed to know all of it just to…
I don’t know about you, but I found all those events genuinely entertaining. What I loved was that the FL wasn’t the type to throw everything away for love, she struggled between her loyalty and her heart. But the ML? He was exactly that kinda type, the one who would give everything up for love. It takes a while for her to come to her senses, but their chemistry is amazing. Definitely give it another shot! You can always fast-forward the side stories if they bother you
