I really appreciate the lack of family drama, violence, or the assumption that everyone had a miserable childhood or trauma. It's a comfortable series.
Just finished this - but it took me a while because the story got kind a boring half-way through. The cast and characters were fantastic and this is really what held me through. Every character was so well thought out, had depth and were interesting. The relationships to the ML was were so good. But the story itself was kind of dry. Started off strong with the escape and meeting the Chang's - but once he actually got home - start to fizzle. Then really fails towards the end - especially the big reveal and consequences of that. Thought the Ms Su character got completely wasted in the second half - which was a shame - she was sooo intriguing and there was so much potential there. And, while we didnt need a big romance - a bit more attention to this would have been nice. Also bummed we didnt get to see Pengwen get married. Ending was very unsatisfactory.
i see a cut scene drama julia xiang with zhu ya wen? it looks interesting
Yes, Legend of the Magnate. Even though it's "just" a guest role, I'd say it's her most compelling performance to date. She's well casted in this role and shines as Bai Yimei. Her chemistry on screen with Zhu Yawen is an unexpected surprise as well.
Not a fan of dramas where the female lead goes back and forth between two male leads like a shuttlecock. It just ends up making the male lead look a cuck. There’s already another drama doing the same thing. I know every show has its audience and some people call it mature whenever there’s even a hint of two-timing.
This series should have young actors, looks like a youth story. But it has actors over 40.They use a lot of filters to look young, and their faces look very artificial.
Propaganda disguised as custom drama. I dropped at the part where she started to develop vaccines to cure small…
Bruh google is free. You can look up basic stuff instead of typing useless arguments that are full of fallacies. Also, in what world is Poisoned Needle a credible source?? It’s a collection of rumors, unscientific data, anecdote, speculations, and cherry picked nonsense. Since we’re making fallacious arguments, let me do one: 99% of people in this world believe vaccines work, so they must be effective. Why would I believe the 1% brainwashed antivaxxers. ✌️

You do realize it’s fiction, right? It isn’t based on a true story. If it’s not your cup of tea, there’s no need to force yourself to watch it.

On ep 12 and I really want to like this as I can get into an older ML but gosh how many times does he have to…
Or maybe just maybe yall just know how to judge any women in any drama EVERY TIME bc yall are pick me that just enjoy male actors and hate any women because yall think yall would be a better fl ?? RIDICULOUS
Can we normalize actors advising the producers to change the ending. Or boycotting until they get a better ending. This show is literally a disrespect to the people investing their time to watch it. Not all dramas need a sorrowful ending. Sometimes a happy ending will still be a good masterpiece.
