Rewatching it..and its just as good as I remember. But I do agree (I think someone wrote a comment abt it previously) that an explanation as to when Cake started falling for Eiw would be nice. Its like...after he returns, he suddenly becomes possessive, from a romantic angle, over Eiw. Not a critique or complaint, but an explanation or a scene which shows the change in his feelings would have been nice.
Its been so long since I smiled through all episodes (till ep 6) of a Thai BL drama. It is sooo cute and sweet but skillfully dodges cringy elements. The actors are new and thus, there is room for improvement but what they are presenting on the screen is in no way bad...they are better than some Thai BL actors I have seen for sometime now. Fingers Crossed! Hope it continues to be as good :)
The trailer was one of the best things I have ever seen !!! I love Minghao...love how he looked in past historical dramas, but this! This is perfection!! He looks totally in his element! *squealing sounds* I want to watch this ASAP!!! Please iQiyi, give it to us!!!
Seems like ep 28 will have the FL and her mom talking heart to heart, finally. I hope this means the mom will…
If she still doesnt change...that would make me one miserable audience who will bear through the entire drama just because of YZM and MCH. So fingers crossed! A change in character of the mother is long overdue!
Family is supposed to be a pillar of support, a strength for one to work hard. Yet, MCH's mother robs her off of all of it because of her actions. I genuinely wish they could have toned down the mother's character. But a part of me also knows that I probably wont enjoy the development of this show as much if she was not sooo beyond saving. And of course...Xu Kai! I know he is not the main character...but he looks so amazing!! Of course, its also nice to see Yang Zi in a modern drama where she is not the innocent or young woman, it suits her way better (IN MY OPINION).
Okay...so... I am still recovering from Yuan Lu's death but even without that... BELOW IS MY OPINION.... A LOT LOT LOT of STRESS on the "MY"!
This series was 10/10 for me until episode 34! Yang Ying's character development was amazing and the pacing, story, cast...one of the best I have seen this year. But then, the last 6 episodes came...let us all ignore the unignorable deaths of our Liudao squad, but the pacing of the story??? Is it because I was crying? Did I miss something? Suddenly the pace of the story changed and somehow, (not because of the deaths of my favorite ppl...I am certain not because of the deaths) something, which charmed me to this drama and kept me hanging just disappeared. Its as if the writer or something changed and everything started spiraling downwards. Now, the deaths... I genuinely believe they could have been done in a much, much better way. It felt like the writer wanted to kill off ppl and they did so, pretty hastily. I have seen more than thousands of dramas, and most of them had someone or the other dying in it....Sadly, this drama could not present their deaths in a more meaningful way. Half of them had me feeling, "What a waste of the character!" I cried during Yuan Lu's death because of how much I had come to love his adorable character... If it had been someone else, I am 100% sure that my reaction would be, "Really??? Like this...? Sure , then." (basically, no strong feeling of sadness) The ending too...was just not it. Again, I have seen quite a few Chinese historical dramas, and this was a very unsatisfying ending. It feels half hearted. Like, they didnt know how to end it and found something fitting enough. Can't go lower than 8/10...but I genuinely though this would be 10/10 for me...
I have been a fan of Xu Kai since 'The Legends'. Today, after watching ep 30 and 31, I can say with pride that he has progressed amazingly. I have been crying for so long now... In my POV an emotional scene is what really determines an actor's acting skills and in this drama, he has proved it. He nailed the emotions. Even Jing Tian for that matter...she has done an amazing job! I love this CP <3
*Taking back my earlier comment* The show has reached a very stale point...cliche things happening, and they aren't even handled well. Our main leads chemistry falters sometimes and other times it makes me smile...but the moments it makes me smile is not enough to stop me from questioning whether this drama is really worth it or not. I was realllllllyyyyyyyy waiting for this drama, and right now, its just a step away from a total disappointment. But am I going to be dropping thing? Not a chance. I love QSY and YY too much for that. Very unexpectedly (or maybe not that much), I love their dynamics. It is getting a little stretched now, but I still want t o see them ending up together and also be an audience to their ending. Feeling like this despite my love for Wang He Di and Bai Lu...it shows what a weak script this drama has :(
I understand where people who are critical of the main leads are coming from.... But as far as I am concerned, the interactions of the main leads make me smile like an idiot. Their relationship is cliched but done well. The interaction of the second leads (GJ & BRS) reminds me of the fast forward button. Finally, the third couple's interactions leave me wanting more. I am so so so so invested in them!! Miles Wei looks so fine and it feels like their romance will be very cute :)
Ok so....Personal Thoughts, & Rants! I love...LOVE the pair of Nannam & Nithan and also Phethai & Gale (a little less than the former tho), their love stories were sweet, made sense (some sort) and made me smile constantly! On the other hand...the others......NOT SO MUCH! Pine and August was next level unbearable and way too much time was given to them. I am sorry...I just couldn't root for them. Nathee & Florence was also cute but yes... I did skip. Maybe quite a lot. Similar with Hack & Irin. But to be honest, maybe I didnt feel that they were cute or sweet at all... I dont think Irin should have ended up with anyone in the first place. I absolutely dont know how Nanfah & Pladao was possible...Like did I miss something? Were we headed in that direction at ALL? It was very unexpected in a very unwanted way....I had rather they just remain friends.
There is really not much to the story. It relies solely on the individual plots of the members and their acting, as well as their chemistry with their respective partners. The actors did a wonderful job but I cant say the same abt the script.
Its a good drama to just pass time and probably support (or watch for the sake) of your liked actors.
According to information on Naver...NO. Today will be 10th and tomorrow will be 11th... The drama will finish on 2nd October (12th episode will thus air on next Monday).
Its been 6 episodes, and my dissatisfaction with this season is growing...rather, I am tired. I literally fell in love with Season1. It was so engaging and fast-paced but this is failing to do both. The first episode of this season was really good but then the second episode came and I got a little disappointed and with every episode that feeling is growing. The problem with this season is not at all Ha-na's personal story, rather it provides a human aspect to counters. The problem here is how they are dragging the story unnecessarily and, sorry for the new counter, his part is just not doing it for me. The humor feels forced, stale and repetitive. I fast forward the moment he is on screen. Leaving him aside, it feels as if the story is being stretched out for absolutely no reason. Just half way through, and I am convinced that they could have completed this in 10 episodes.
It's been so long since I was this obsessed with a Kdrama, amazing acting and a very engaging plot. So far, it's been such a pleasant ride that I actually didn't feel the need to use the fast forward button at all. I can't wait for Wednesday 😭😭 (I can't wait for more Jo In Sung too)
Fingers Crossed! Hope it continues to be as good :)
