I really dislike when there’s romance sprinkled into these kind of dramas. They don’t actually do any justice to the romance and end up hurting the real plot because main acts like they are missing a brain cell. I felt he was focused on the girl at moments where he needed to lock in. Like, bruh, you have 4 tries and one real shot - you already experienced a timeline of everyone dying and you are busy look at how cute she looks?? AND it is the cheesiest music possible? (That’s coming from someone who loves romance dramas.) He grabs her in the chaos of one of the loops and the guy he needs to protect is elsewhere?
Worse 😂 it becomes war - rinse and repeat. followed by palace politics - rinse and repeat. The antagonist will…
you would be realllllllyyyy annoyed if you keep going and find out the antagonist’s motives 🤦🏻♀️ also those middle-ish eps where it’s allll politics and mostly the crown prince acting like a brat!
I have to say. Cheng Lei did so well in his roles. His man in black scenes were just hawt and action packed. His puppy scenes as lost Jinan. His temperamental, warlord prince side. Truly well done 👏🏼
I enjoyed the drama but by the last 6 eps, for some strange reason, I couldn’t wait to be done 😂and now I kinda miss them. I think I had to pause my binge and it through off my groove 🤔
yoooo. I didn’t realize Mo Yin is played by Darren Chen!! he looks so different. or maybe it’s because I haven’t seen him in a drama since My Unicorn Girl 😮
the whole crown prince having to be used as footstool by his brother to get into carriage is ridiculous. it just doesn’t make sense since he is crown prince. This doomy seriously doesn’t have that little power to stand up for himself. am I missing something??
That was doomed from the beginning. It was also obvious that she had conflicted feelings about ML as well. She…
they actually developed feelings over their common dreams to help the people after the experience in the village. I think both of their feelings were pretty genuine. maybe not passionate love, but they definitely determined they could share a life together. …and I didn’t need that 😂 I know it wouldn’t work out. obvi. but still 😑 😝
I have such mixed feelings about this show. Everytime I was frustrated, something was. so endearing that I had…
i appreciate that FL helf true to herself and made it clear that she didnt appreciate being abandoned by her mother and later ML. She would rather be alone and keep her love in her heart than let ML do as he wills without her input. ML regrets his actions and understand he cant force his way with her because he starts to truly understand her as a person. that was well done.
the pace was very slow though amd she spent alot of time building a romance with Yao. then it took forever to fall for ML but then they had like 3-4 eps of happiness before it all came crumbling down and we realized that everything ML wasnt necessarily for FL - he had hidden motives. The chem went offline and then they reunited at the last ep. that left me feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
I have such mixed feelings about this show. Everytime I was frustrated, something was. so endearing that I had to fall back into the groove of it. I really appreciated seeing an empress and consort that weren’t constantly scheming and actually had a sisterhood. All the characters had a personality and reason for existing in the story - to help further the plot or OTP’s character development. The characters make mistakes and are acknowledge them and make an effort to change. Character flaws made it a little relatable. I wasn’t in love with the parts, but the sum of the parts came together- from the frustrating separations to the heartwarming memories.
you are telling me he just chilled on the side of a mountain for two days after massive injuries from a chaotic fight followed by jumping off side of cliff? How is he alive?? 😂 I know these dramas require some suspension of disbelief, but wow on this one 🤣
