This will never reach Chusen, or Journey of Flower potential, due to there not being enough episodes. This is the female lead we've been waiting for, her power-up isn't taking long either. Everyone is capable, and convincing. Nothing annoying about FL, how rare! I'll prob. watch almost anything with this actress, how nice to discover someone new.
Another thing I absolutely love about this dynamic, is his moments of vulnerability. ''Why does she want to leave me?'' I don't know about you, but when I see a man like this, it brings out the inner dominant woman in me, and I want to steal his breath, and render him unable to speak. I think, inside that hidden part of hear heart, that's what she wants too. She is in fact forcing his hand, on something they've been dancing around, for ten long years. She has 10 long years of frustrations, resentment, although she could still leave him - at this point, but if she opes that lid, even just a little, she's already too far gone. She has no wish to expose herself to him, it's not safe to do so, because things could get too real, too fast. He is fuelled by his well fed narcissism, which is why , it's just a little bit, just a little bit, easier for him to throw caution to the wind. He can also tell himself, he's not 'all in', at any point, and give himself an exit.
This is a 10 from me! What's wrong with secretary kim, is one of my all time favourite romcoms, and this has the very same spirit. Featuring a certain phoenix, as the male lead haha
it was realistic, that after all the insanity died down, and the adrenaline was gone, that they'd sit down and…
I feel it should have gone full circle, her walking away should have been it. Maybe a fast forward a couple of years, and showing him still watching over her, from time to time, but never approaching her. She would have of course, always known when he was there, but she too never pursuing interaction, and living her best life.
The dialogue is often terrible, and you can see the actors feeling silly. As a viewer, when you feel you could…
it was realistic, that after all the insanity died down, and the adrenaline was gone, that they'd sit down and realise, hey we don't have the same goals in life. They ultimately don't. Instead of conceding a little to her dreams, and responsibilities, he goes on a little rant of how he wants the simple life, fair enough. She walks away from him, I though, wow, so realistic, this would happen in real life, for sure. Nothing changes - Suddenly she gives everything up, her whole future, to be with him. This gaslighting, rather abusive man, makes her come to him.
Them going their different ways, would have been a far better ending, maybe growing up a little, and meeting down the road again - but no.
The oftentimes shit dialogue, her childlike persona throughout, his constant lying and gaslighting made for a hot mess of a bad story.
The dialogue is often terrible, and you can see the actors feeling silly. As a viewer, when you feel you could write better dialogue, yourself, you know somebody really messed up. She never really grows up,which I suppose is in line with her young age, but that is also a peeve. Spoiler below.
This is their second drama together, but they can't fulfill their love destiny in this one either. I need a drama where they have actual love destiny, because their chemistry is truly great. This drama proves, Ashes of Love wasn't just a one off.
This drama has everything. The smaller romantic subplot is immersive, simply because it's all in the eyes of Leo Wu, and now I'm a fan. You really do believe every word, and it is really immersive, the fates of most lives in this drama, become something you care about. This drama isn't afraid of doing what it needs to do, in order to push everyone towards where they need to be.
The ending has a beautiful undertone, if you know what you're looking for.
This drama suffers from post production, I don't really believe it was intended for 45 episodes, and it seems a lot of the personal relationships were edited short. China did decide some months back, that really long dramas need to be reduced, too much fun, I don't know, but here we are.
If you liked this, you'll like Bloody Romance.

Disappointed.
One hope left, Duolou Continent.
