I just started watching Road to Splendor. I really like Ryan Ding but I'm having trouble getting into this one.…
Ep 1 - 3 is a slow introduction of FL and her family background, Then the salt Smuggler ML and their encounter and life forward...but from Ep 4, it changes completely...
FL is from noble aristocratic family... lived a pampered life.. like when common people were struggling to get salt... they scattered fine salt across the courtyard to simulate snow... but with scheming people around.. spoiled her reputation and family poixoned her and left her to die... but ML saved her.... so they are on the run from EP4... life changes... Once FL comes on to center stage... the story takes off.....
If you have patience/interest to continue.. its a very good drama ....but even I was kinda lost in that first 3 episodes... and also didnt understand at that time....

Same, but after 4 episode I got hooked and now I'm impatiently can't wait the ending. The peak is ep 4 for me. The story getting interesting and good! What's funny is that loving this drama I even watch their 1st Collab drama just to see their chemistry again

Honestly, just when you think you’ve already met all the craziest villains in the drama, the FL’s father shows up—and somehow manages to take things to a whole new level. What a POS. 😭
It’s a real shame because the 1st half was so promising. Unfortunately, the 2nd half completely fell apart with no plot and no emotional depth. And the romance was one sided. 😢
I’m convinced these kdramas put the most effort into the first episodes to gain an audience and then use Chat gpt for the remaining episodes because they know people are still going to watch because they liked the first few episodes. I’m noticing a trend…
Finally caught up lol What I love about this drama is that it made us root for the them right from the beginning which is not the case in most plots. Most dramas begin with hate, angst or revenge but because of the circumstances of how they met, we just couldn’t help but cheer them on. Great writing! That concubine though…she seems a bit too clever and not in a good way.
i meannn as per the earlier episodes logic SHLDNT SEUNGJAE COME AS A GHOST AND TELL HER EVERYTHING?!?!?? They forgot the plot didn’t they? the writers changed ryt???? wtff😭😭😭 so much lag on stuff which cudve been like a text msg away lol i still dont hate hate it cuz ive seen worse but its still not wt we were promised. the ghosts seemed to disappear half way thru the drama🥲
Maybe I'm too much of a soldier...if you're in the path of an oncoming vehicle, I'm tackling you and we're both rolling out of the way. But NOOOOOOO, let's push you out of the way and stand there waiting on the impact! Makes no sense!

If after that, it still doesn't pull you in then it's probably not your cup of tea.
all of the leads, sub lead are doing great.
A list actors with B list script and B list director.
2nd half is so bad they forgot the horror genre and completely distracted viewers with unnecessary politics
