LOL - my niece begged me to buy her an unhealthy number of those dolls when I happened to be watching her so that’s…
Oh God I couldn’t make it past the first episode of Journey of flower and had to drop Boss and Me XD But she grew on me in Rookie Agent Rogue and then I went to Princess Agents and Story of Ming Lan and it was all rainbows and sunshine. After that, anything I touched of hers lacked authenticity. Fingers crossed for Legend of Shen Li 🤞
I have always considered Zhao Liying a vastly overrated, creepy life sized LOL doll with her gigantic head and eyes. ^^^^
The way my soul hurt reading this. She was my first love in C drama land but is it weird that I am getting this impression of her … now? Lmao I haven’t seen a good drama come out of her in a hot minute. Last I tried to watch was Legend of Fei that I couldn’t even finish.
What an excellent passionately written review. I dropped this at ep 18 because I lost interest after the first arc but your review makes me feel both like I should have stuck with it and glad that I dropped it :p
YES! Thank you for this review my goddess. I was already thinking of watching this show and this puts the final nail in the coffin. A wuxia with bromance and well executed fight scenes? I AM READY FOR THIS
Preciate it! I’m very particular with recs Madam. I’d be lying if i were to swear to you up and down the FL…
Hahahah the shade. 😆Alright, considering our ratings for most of the dramas are more or less the same, I’ll take your word for it and check it out! Also, I checked out your other list as well and I love these short note reviews. Hope you make more of these!
All I can say is Yi Bang Won Yi Bang Won and Yi Bang WonHe’s basically Korean Ning Yi but more ruthless XD
Lmaooo it’s truly a pain till he actually appears cause for now it’s just his younger version. I kept dropping the show or stopping and getting back to it again and again. The wait was terrible but once he actually comes in? Then, it’s smooth sailing. He has to be one of my favourite characters of all time. So, if you can just push yourself a little bit, I promise the light at the end of the tunnel is sexy with 14 abs and 140% acting talent. Best of luck 🙌

Did Yoo Ah In appear yet?
Honest to God, the drama reaches gold status ep 30 onwards. Before that it’s a looooot of tedious politics (which is basically this writer’s signature)
I somehow completely agree with all of this (I missed Mudeok version Naksu SO MUCH and even she wasn't the bad…
“Exhaustion I can physically feel in this rant of yours” If this review has made you feel anything at all, then that means I have done my job as a writer. ;)
I am happy you were able to enjoy it. I was just disappointed about the lost potential at the time but I have since moved on to better dramas so it’s all 🌈 and 🌞 in my drama watching world ^_^ Thanks for reading, love! ❤️
To all the cute folks who are getting offended by this review or are about to get offended, remember your salt is only justified if 1) You are the Hong sister’s ghostwriter and actually wrote this mess 2) You are Hong Sister’s fake account 3) The Hong sisters have paid you to be salty (in that case I would recommend investing in an ointment for all that butthurt)
Because really, while I welcome all disagreeing opinions if they’re done in a mature fashion, getting triggered here will not make me change my review, my rating or my thoughts about this drama. It will only tell me that there is a certain mental maturity needed to enjoy this show and thankfully I left that in middle school and upgraded since then.
Instead of getting pressed about an online stranger’s personal opinion on your favourite drama, you’re better off being happy that atleast YOU enjoyed it, chill, write your own positive review and go watch something else.
Or don’t. In that case, keep being salty about this review while I drink my coffee, eat my ramyun, watch my next show and get my entertainment fix cause that’s all dramas are for me: entertainment. 🤷♀️ 💅
I didn't read the whole review, but here I am asking: do YOU hate women? I don't understand all the hatred towards…
I don’t know if I have used too many big words or some fans just can’t math the simple math but it’s not that deep.
It’s less about “hatred for women with feminine traits” LMAO and more about lazy writing, inconsistency and regressing into tried and tested tropes because you know it will sell.
If they’ve built her up to be a grumpy assassin with years of trauma and baggage whose biggest selling point IS that she is a ruthless killer, you can’t just be like “Abort Mission!” and transform her into the ML’s sidekick who can’t even walk properly without help. Similarly if you’ve written a character that’s soft natured and her strength is subtle you can’t randomly make her into a killing machine and call it a day. Consistency is key. It’s just that simple.

Ugh where will I ever find a drama like this again. :(
