That’s true everyone has different preferences. Maybe you’ll like this drama, maybe you won’t. As for me, I enjoyed it, especially the story about the Shen family. Can you believe the whole family time traveled? (I hope that’s not a spoiler since it’s already mentioned in the synopsis.) What I wasn’t satisfied with was the ending (spoiler below).
So, I saw on tt and read some spoilers about the ending (no comment on that since I’m still on episode 7). I know there’s a ban on reincarnation and time travel concepts, but why not make the time travel idea something like what happened in Story of Kunning Palace or A Dream Within a Dream?
The concept could be that the female lead, male lead, or whoever travels through time but in reality, it’s actually just a story written by an author. (Do you guys get what I mean?) Like, the whole story takes place inside a novel that was written, but the main focus is still on the main lead, female lead, or maybe even the supporting characters.
That way, we can still get the kind of ending we want. I really hope one day the director or writer will consider this idea if they plan to make another time travel themed drama.
Currently watching but this is it just me, Did some characters speak Cantonese? Aren’t they supposed to speak standard Mandarin? Maybe that’s why C-dramas usually need dubbing? just asking because I really dont know
I’ve already finished watching this drama, and I’ll be reviewing it based on my own experience while watching.I…
There are a few weaknesses in this drama, but honestly, they’re not that bad especially since the story focuses on mystery solving cases (which is totally my type of drama). Because the female lead is a coroner, the autopsy scenes are detailed . She explains the causes and reasons clearly. The case solving parts are also good, but one weakness is that the culprit is quite easy to identify.
Usually, when I watch dramas with mystery solving cases , it’s hard to guess who the culprit is there’s always some unexpected plot twist that makes me go, “wait, seriously? It’s that person?” But in this drama, I could already guess who the culprit was from episode 1, even though the case wasn’t solved yet. I thought maybe I was wrong, but it turned out I was right. So I figured maybe it was just for that case, but for the rest of the episodes, I still managed to guess who did it.
Maybe the writer or director intentionally made it that way so we could focus more on understanding the motives behind their actions ( I’m not sure). That’s the only weakness I can think of, and it’s still acceptable. Overall, the cases are well done.
I’ve already finished watching this drama, and I’ll be reviewing it based on my own experience while watching.
I watched episode 1 of this drama a long time ago but dropped it since I’d already seen too many romance dramas and needed a break from that genre. Since I dropped this drama a long time ago, I decided to watch it again because the dramas I actually wanted to watch were still ongoing.(I’m a team completed drama person).
I thought I wouldn’t be able to finish this drama and would probably only complete it next week, even though I was already halfway through. It usually takes me around two weeks to finish a drama because I never skip any parts. Luckily, I was on break, so I managed to complete it and honestly, this drama kept me curious about what would happen next.
In terms of romance, I’d say this couple has one of the healthiest relationships I’ve seen in a drama. There’s no love triangle, no misunderstandings they support each other through everything. The male lead is such a green flag. he protects and stands by the female lead no matter what. They both look out for each other, and whenever there’s a problem, they solve it together. For me, their romance feels balanced and genuine. I also really like the second and third couples, especially Yanli and Yuening ( they’re so funny for me)
Since this drama involves several cases (and because there are a few spoilers), I’ll put those in the comments below.
P.S.:Sorry, Please don’t hate me this is just my personal preference. Don’t judge me, I’m simply sharing my honest thoughts about the drama ^^
I’m currently at episode 34, and honestly, I feel like dropping this drama. But since there are only 2 episodes…
So, I got the spoiler that Chu Zhao will turn out to be the bad person. Honestly, I don’t get why the writer had to make him like that. Why not just let them stay friends? It feels so unnecessary. The drama could’ve ended perfectly when Hei Ru Fei and Xu Jing Fu were caught, and He Yan and Dudu got married to live happily ever after. I’m really not satisfied with how the writer made Chu Zhao the bad guy. The drama was already good, but the last part… hmmm, it just feels dragged. I actually wanted to drop it, but with only 2 episodes left, I can’t.
The thing is, this drama did make me blush a lot. I still remember that line from He Yan “I like the moon, but the moon doesn’t know.” That part really made me scream inside. Honestly, the writer should’ve wrapped it up at episode 30 or at least 32.
Sorry if anyone feels offended, but this is just my opinion🥺
I just see a post on iQIYI top 10 series and this series on the top 1 then here I'm and the rating danm 8.6 is…
iQiyi always puts their new dramas in the Top 10, and about the 8.6 rating maybe it’s because this one was highly anticipated. For me, the drama is okay. It’s funny in the first part of the episode and also in the middle. But toward the end, it feels dragged. Honestly, it could’ve ended at 30 episodes, or at least 32 when the main conflict was already resolved (don’t want to spoil). Instead, the writer stretched it out with unnecessary drama. I actually wanted to drop it, but since there are only 2 episodes left, I decided to just finish it. Anyway, this is just my preference maybe you should try and see if it suits your taste, and if not, you can always drop it.
I’m currently at episode 34, and honestly, I feel like dropping this drama. But since there are only 2 episodes left, I’m pushing myself to finish it. The first part of the episode, I actually enjoyed He Yan’s childish yet clever side. In the middle, there was a scene that really made me blush especially that line He Yan said about the moon (don’t want to spoil it). But towards the end with the war part, it was just okay, and as it went on, it started to feel dragged out. I almost dropped it, but with just 2 episodes left, I guess I’ll hang on. Anyway, this is just based on my preference everyone has different tastes, so maybe this drama might be okay for you.
This is the only drama I’ve rated 9.5, and also the first C-drama I’ve watched with 40 episodes without skipping or stopping halfway. I still remember it clearly because I watched it after the series had already finished in 2023. Before this, I thought 40 episodes was way too many since I usually only watched K-dramas with 16 episodes, so I assumed I might stop halfway but nope, I finished every single episode because of the endless plot twists. I can’t imagine completing all of it back then, and now 40 episodes actually feels short to me. These days, when I watch a drama, I never skip or stop halfway, even if it takes me a long time to finish (since I do have a life). Also, I’ve started enjoying C-dramas more, even though I still watch K-dramas.
I JUST finished ep 30 and omg I love the way the story of the massacre was unfolded. It was done so well. Also...
Before I decide to watch this, please tell me who dies at the end aside from the villain. I saw from a spoiler that the male lead gets poisoned and I’d also like to know if there’s more romance than investigation.
I’m at episode 33 right now, and if I didn’t have to go to work, I’d probably stay up until 4 a.m. to finish…
Lol, I really love Nanheng’s facial expressions he so cute whenever he looks at Yimeng. It’s rare for me, but from start to finish I’ve been hooked on this drama. (Okay, maybe there are a few parts that are a bit boring, but still pretty interesting overall.) From the very beginning, I was already laughing so hard when Nanheng tried to poison Yimeng especially the moment he was about to give her the poison. (Hahaha, I just couldn’t stop laughing at that scene!)
Actually, I do agree with some comments saying Yimeng is a bit selfish for not trusting Nanheng and choosing to trust the script instead, even though Nanheng repeatedly told her to trust him. But from Yimeng’s point of view, I get why she’s scared especially after reading the script beforehand. No matter how much she tries, the main plot doesn’t change, even under different circumstances. Still, there are moments where I get frustrated with Yimeng and just wish she would trust Nanheng a little more.
But because since she eventually started trusting him, I’ll let it slide. Poor Nanheng nobody trusts him, even though he’s so kind. Even the Emperor hates him, despite being his own father. If I were in Nanheng’s place, I’d be like, “Who cares? I might as well rebel!” (Hahaha.) But well, men who are green flags kind and smart like Nanheng only exist in dramas.
I did watch some spoilers (since I’m only at episode 33), and it’s rare to see a drama where no characters die, aside from the villains, and everyone gets their own happy ending.
By the way, since I haven’t finished the drama yet, I haven’t decided on my final rating. For now, it’s a solid 9/10, but it might change after watching the remaining episodes. I’m not sure yet.
I’m at episode 33 right now, and if I didn’t have to go to work, I’d probably stay up until 4 a.m. to finish the whole thing. But since I do have to work, I have no choice but to wait until I get home. Ahh, the pain! By the way, this drama has me thinking about it even at work. Something that rarely happens to me while watching dramas. (Maybe it’s because I took a long break from romance dramas or maybe it’s just because this drama is exactly my type.)
Haha, I love guys like Nanheng, who never give up chasing Song Yimeng even after being rejected so many times. (If you want spoilers, check my comment below.) Anyway, my advice is . It’s okay to read other people’s reviews, but everyone has different opinions. Some might dislike it, while others think it’s worth watching. That’s why I usually stay away from MDL when I’ve decided to watch a drama in the past few months because I’m easily influenced by others. (I almost skipped a drama before because of that )
So, give it a try and see if it matches your taste. If not, maybe try another one. Once I’m done with this drama, I’ll be heading straight to Coroner Diary (here I come! hahaha)
So far, I find this story quite enjoyable. I’ve been following it since Season 1, Flourished Peony. I really…
There was one episode (I can’t remember which) where Mudan finally found out who killed her mother and she ended up stabbing Jiang Chiang Yang with a knife. lol, that scene made me laugh! How could Jiang Chiang Yang still talk so normally with a knife in his chest? 😂 He was literally having a full conversation while being stabbed! That part felt pretty unrealistic to me.
And another thing , Mudan’s shop kept getting sabotaged. People kept accusing her of things, and the shop was shut down multiple times. The townspeople were so quick to judge and stir drama, but when the shop reopened and did well, suddenly everyone came back like loyal customers. Honestly, if this happened in real life, the shop probably wouldn’t have survived all that.
Some scenes felt a bit over-the-top to me, but since it’s just a drama, I’ll let it slide.
