Still contemplating a lot to watch this. I just started and currently on ep. 10. TBH, am struggling so far. It's so hard to watch a no skinship no kisses drama. I don't know if I would be able to stand that till the 87th ep. I'm just hanging on because I like Wallace Huo.
Story plot is a cliche afterall watching so many historical dramas. Romance wise, I'm still not feeling it honestly. Aside from no direct presentation of physical contact, i am so not fan of a Prince/Emperor who have lots of concubines and sleep with them all. Even if he treats the FL quite differently, for me it's all the same. Still, prefer a one woman man I guess. HEre, the ML is so kind to all. Like, sometimes you may not be able to distinguish that the FL is that special at all. I'll try to hold on further. Hope I'm not gonna drop this midway.
As it progresses, It's giving me the same vibe as the drama Palace of Devotion. It's all about the race to be able to bear a son for the Emperor who''ll be entitled as the next heir to the throne. And yeah, same vibe of being in love with FL but have to sleep with different concubines and FL can't be the official consort. ML is just so unlikeable here. I just can't feel the sense of loyalty wherein, he enjoys sleeping with his different concubines each night. Such an a*****.
It took 27 eps. to turn the tide. Such a long way to go. sigh. Currently at ep. 36. I just can't stand how women are being delivered to the Emperor to sleep with. Like naked wrapped in a duvet. FL here has extensive tolerance and patience toward the ML. It's an ultimate struggle to accept that your man sleeps with different women each night.
So now, at ep. 71, the more I am hating the ML. He's a total womanizer. He can't resist a woman even if she had killed his own sons and daughters. What a waste of a handsome face. I feel so sad for the FL. I was able to hold on, so am looking forward towards the end. Given a choice, I prefer the FL to end up with Ling Yun Che. ML is just using her as his shock absorber. Didn't really felt the love, loyalty and trust of ML towards FL.

At this point, I was able to complete the drama. Had to do lots of forwarding as it becomes draggy already towards the end. Ok, so Ling Yun Che had a sad fate with his unrequitted love. I did hold on towards the end hoping for some character development by the ML. Sadly, that never came. Until the end, he was a self-centered person, too much pride for himself and yes, he truly deserves all the loneliness in this world. FL's character of patience and understanding is truly admirable till the end. But, sadly, she didn't get the love she deserved to have from the ML. Like, it was all too late. Honestly, this is a not feel good drama. I wouldn't recommend it for re watch value. Too long for a non-ending scheming drama. It just basically evolved about the story within the harem.
Obviously, this is a highly budgeted drama. Good acting by the villain concubines. But, definitely, this is not my cup of tea. I really can't stand a no kiss, no skinship drama. Gave this a 7.0

Happy and good ending. of course, they ended up as a couple. Ceremony was not showned but i believe they're officially married in the end. 😍 Yi Xiang became an IT Professor in the end. 🤓

It really took me awhile to watch this drama. I'm a fan of Yang Yang since Love 020. I admit, I'm not a fan of Dilraba, which is one of the reasons why am I hesitant to watch this. But, I must say, this is so far the best role that suited her well.
So, for the PROs, as I said. I liked the FL's character here. No acting cute stuff. I like that she's straight forward in a subtle way. And what's best on her character, I really liked her sense of pride when Yu Tu turned down her confession. Like, Girl, you've been hurt, let him suffer a bit. And yeah, her very down to earth personality, despite of being a high profile celebrity. Another thing likeable in this drama was the cosmic setup of the wedding. Though it's a group wedding among colleagues, still, it felt intimate and yeah, the decor was just superb. I enjoyed the part of meeting the parents during the New year's Eve celebration and the abrupt introduction of themselves to their future parent in laws.
For the CONs, this is just too slow burn for me. Like being together at ep21 where there's only 32 eps. And yeah, I think 32eps was a bit long for a romance drama which half of it basically ate up scenes on aerospace, flashbacks and esports games. Like the romance only took around 5-8eps so to speak. Not to mention the time skips too. The kisses and skinships felt a bit lacking for me. Like, if I'm gonna compare this to Love 020, Falling into your Smile and Go Go Squid, this is quite way behind for me. I like Yang Yang's role better in Love 020 than here. I guess I liked his agressiveness there that i didn't quite see much here. The ending was just a meh for me. Like I was hoping they would maximize the time skips and would show that they have a kid despite of their busy schedules,. Anyways, I just find this a bit overrated, it's a 7.5 for me.

Is that so? Because of this, I checked the FL's profile. hehehe She's 23. I don't know how conservative China can be, but that age is mature enough to do mature roles. Like, I've been watching Jdrama as well and their actors can do mature scenes as young as 18. That's quite sad to know.

Just saw a few clips of this drama in fb and decided to check this out. Honestly, 42 eps is really long for this type of drama which doesn't have much good story plot to offer. In addition, no good looking men either to get you hooked on the drama the least. Kinda, appreciated the character development of the FL midway in terms on how she battled her struggles from being rich to an ordinary citizen who needs to earn a living . but, her immaturity in handling relationships is really irritating. she acts like a 12yr old kid who needs to look like a barbie doll and treats her bf just a HS kid next door and not a CEO. Currently on ep. 30. Super struggling to finish this drama. I guess, will have to forward more to make it till the end. The only likeable character here is Wang Xiao Zai. ML is not ideal either. Given a choice, the SML acts more of the ML than the ML himself.

At this point I was able to finish the drama by forwarding most scenes. The breakup was really unnecessary for me. And it ate around 10 eps. Got back together at the finale which was so unsatisfying. I feel sad for the SML's character. He never gave up on her up to the last point of this drama and he ended up with no one. He truly deserves to be the ML to be honest. FL's character is quite disappointing towards the end. Like she had no sense of pride of not letting the ML at least win her back. ML's character felt lack of sincerity. Definitely, not the type of CEO you would want to be with.

I was happy for the secondary couple Wang Xiao and Mingle . They truly deserve each other. Glad justice was given as Mie Jie Jie was punished for her wrong doings as well as the Aunt.
Overall, it's a 6.5 for me. Everything is lacking in this drama including the skinships and kisses. The only thing that is not are the number of episodes. 😁

Definitely watched this because of Yang Ze. Liked him in The Killer is so Romantic and Destined to Meet You. This, in particular didn't have the same vibe. The kisses and skinships are very much lacking. Too draggy for a short mini series. With that it's only a 7 for me. Not sure if I'm gonna look forward to season 2. chemistry is just meh.

This is such a tease drama. Not a fan of the story plot. Not a fan of the FL either. I do prefer a badass FL I liked the ML's character. He's such a tease. I like that he's such a loyal romantic guy. Sakurada Dori, evertime I look at him he reminds me of Suga of BTS. They kinda resemble alot. This is my second time to watch him in drama as ML. I prefer his role here compared to the other drama that I've seen him. Overall, gave this drama a 7.0. Generous enough for the ML's character. But, of course, a CEO like him would only fall for a campus beauty. That's one downside of this story. Still, the skinships won me over.

I'm really not fond of short mini series, but I can consider this an exception. Good story plot. Good acting by the cast. First time to watch the entire cast in a drama. Great chemistry by the leads. Another proof that I really prefer Generals than Prince's or Kings. right pacing of romance. Kisses were very well executed. Love some intimacy in this drama. Overall, it's an 8.5 for me. Just made me a bit confused with the ending. Like, the face swaps really got me. Would be nice if this was made into a full length drama. Definitely recommendable.

yes

I believe this was the hottest Kdrama I have watched so far, next to I Need Romance trilogy series and Nevertheless. It feels like am watching sex education 101. hehehe This was quite entertaining. Definitely the intimacy and passion were there as expected, based on the title of the drama per se. I had a few laughs because of Mr. Shim. I should say the cast were a pool of gorgeous ladies and gents. Bae Woo Hae kinda reminds me of Park Min young. She resembles her a bit. Choi Kwang Rok is absolutely hot and someone to look forward to in another drama as ML. Gave this drama an 8. The only downside for me is Son Hee Jae's dilemma on finding herself first before being able to enter again in a relationship. Partly, yes. it is understandable, but dude, you made love with the guy a couple of times and the hot guy In Chan has poured all his feelings for her. I just can't stand that a pure hearted guy would just be used as sex partner. Though, she gave in at the end, but it took a month for her to do that. I just felt sad for In Chan. Well, it's a rare gem to find a guy like him these days. Overall, this drama is recommenmdable. It gives a different point of view on how we understand simply making out or making love with the person you have feelings with.

I think this was the most wholesome drama I've ever watched of Wallace. I've seen other dramas of Wallace Chung and most of them have steamy kisses and intimate scenes. I just find it too lacking in this drama knowing Wallace is the ML. too many flashbacks for me that deemed not necessary. this could have been squeezed in to 24eps. only. first time to watch Tiffany Tang in a drama. She's just an okay FL, but I find the chemistry a bit lacking between these two. Overall, gave this a drama a 7.5 for at least a good ending. Happy ending for all the supporting couple as well. Story plot isn't much interesting for me. It would have been better if the love triangle by the leads was much longer than the flashbacks. And yeah, Leo Yunxi is literally a boy in this drama. lols.

So the story basically evolved on the title itself. It started good. It was fast paced. I just didn't felt much the chemistry of the leads. It's more of just like a strong bond of friendship and not merely a romantic relationship. the only thing that i liked in this drama is the ML's strong motivation of marrying FL and sticking with her through thick and thin no matter what issues they face. It's very rare for a man's character to marry someone out of pure love even without sex. Though yeah, they had to face the consequences of that kind of marriage.
The problem with this drama, it didn't resolve anything up to the end. The lack of communication between the leads was the main problem too. They keep on denying themselves that they don't need sex for a healthy marriage. At the end of the day, wouldn't it be great to have a normal family having kids around?!!! Specially, their profession are both teachers.
I also didn't like the part that the urge to do sex need to happen to do it with other partners rather than trying to seek medical help to resolve their dilemma of being able to do it within themselves. It's technically infidelity and they should have just divorced when things have been going on cycles already.
Everything was just so wrong with this drama. Genereously, gave this drama a 5 for ML's loyalty and consistency to FL though he still made a mistake in the mid part on going to sex hotels.

My thoughts on this drama. First, I am so not a fan of Teacher-student love relationships. I am not against them, everyone has the right to fall in love and it is not forbidden so to fall in love with a teacher nor a student vice versa. It just feels awkward for me to develop such feelings but if it works for some, so be it.
So, I thought this will just be a typical teacher-student drama romance concept that we usually see. I was absolutely surprised how good the story plot this drama could offer. It wasn't tagged, but this drama should have been tagged also as Psycho-thriller mystery genre. The romance was definitely there. Good portrayal by the entire cast I should say. Chemistry of the leads was definitely there. Fire, steamy romance I should say which i also liked in this drama. Realities of school issues such as bribery, bullying, cheating, hacking was well presented. Family issues of social status, prestige, lack of communication, forgiveness was very well tackled. Friendship is also greatly presented here. This drama catered it all.
Of all the teacher-student romance drama that I've seen, this has the best story so far. Great ending too. For that, I gave this drama a 9.0 Definitely deserve a higher rating. And yes, this is highly recommendable.

Second best drama this year along with My Uncanny Destiny. Good story plot. A pool of good looking men including the ML, of course. Lots of skinships and steamy kisses. Right pace of romance. Good ending. The only downside for me is the question of doppleganger. I just don't buy that Manning and Zhuang Xin Yan simply looked alike.
Overall, it's an 8.5 for me. And yes, Fan Zhi Xin is way too hot not to look forward to in another drama as ML. 😍

I've always loved dramas with intimacy and passion. But, i think this would be one of the not so good to watch drama. First, It just feel so awkward to watch a bunch of highschool students who have these insane sex drive. Girl love is also not quite appropriate to see yet as early as highschool. And yeah, the music teacher is literally a slut. Like, I should say a nympho. I just didn't get connected to the story plot to be honest. I think it's more of obsession rather than these kids being in love with their teachers. It's a 5.0 for me. There's no particular character that is likeable in this drama. Plus the ending sucks, like this would have been better if the 2 main leads just fell in love with each other and ended up together.

I've been watching old dramas lately, like 2015 and earlier dramas. Found this in one of the lists given. Had a great start, but find it draggy towards midway. I almost dropped it at ep. 20, but decided to hang on till ep. 22, where the real deal for me started. Yes, it was a slow burn romance. If there's one thing I enjoyed here, it was the Love triangle trope. I'm a fan of love triangles, so that was quite enjoyable for me. I really felt sad for the SML here. Like he's okay. A bit weak in health with so many body complications, but I'm sure he can still be a good husband material. The chemistry was definitely there by the leads. A few kisses and intimacy on the later part of the drama. Story plot is just the typical power struggle in the royalty. Yes, I liked the FL being a badass. Overall, it's a 7.5 for me. The separation of the leads was quite a bit long on the latter part in which I didn't like.

It took time for me to watch ths drama, as I'm not really into sports and youth drama. Glad I took the chance and gave this a shot. First, let me talk about the Pros. What I liked in this drama, it doesn't contain unnecessary drama typical for a sports drama, like the ML might have injured himself, need to recover or worst end up quitting being an athlete. There are no major antagonists, another plus points for me. And yes, the best of it, no unnecessary break ups or so. Plus, I really liked that the FL fights for the relationship, instead of giving it up.
It's my second time to watch both of the leads. I've seen ML first in Forever Love and FL in Why Women Love. I think I prefer their roles here compared to the mentioned dramas. Another strong point of this drama are the skinships. A bit late though, but I really love the portrayal of kisses and intimacy. Like, I was quite surprised it was portrayed by a supposedly 21 yr old college student. That really made me hooked to this drama. chemisry of both leads was definitely there.
Okay for the cons, downside for me, yeah a bit slowburn. Like the skinships did actually happened around ep. 20 up. The story plot isn't much interesting and I find it draggy midway. Overall, it was a feel good drama, A few laughs. I wasn't inspired much on the athletic side but I was more inspired how strong the relationship was. Like, I admire how loyal the ML towards FL. And yes, one thing I like about younger men, they're really more romantic, spontaneous and agressive in a positive sense.
Gave this drama an 8.5

I got curious on this drama after seeing this title on the steamy kisses list. I must say, I have never really been a fan of Republican era drama. I have watched one or 2. I guess, this would have been just my third. Yeah, it has almost same plot as Fall In Love 2021 Cdrama. I've watched Wallace Chung in some historical dramas. I think this was his youngest portrayal that I've seen him. As always, he nails the kisses and intimacy in a drama. I didn't like much his character here. He's quite too obsessed on love but gave it up for the sake of greed for power. i know he claims his reason to save the people, but that doesn't seem so. I just didn't like the fact that he didn't stand for his woman up to the end. Like, when he realised it, it was already too late. Fl's character is just okay. I liked that she's strong willed. Not a spoiled brat coming from a well off family. And yes, i admire the FL's loyalty to her love. Sadly, she has to suffer a lot in the story.

Another thing I didn't like here, there's not much character development among the antagonists Cheng jin Zhi and Jian zhang. Like, their characters are just too annoying until the end. Meanwhle, Xin Zhi's character is quite predictable, like, i knew the bestfriend would fall in love with the same woman his bestfriend loves. But, of course, he would never win her heart because he's just a supporting role. hehehe

I'm definitely not a fan of the ending. The separation between the MC is quite too long. I didn't like also about the miscarriage. The MC should have a child of their own. Everything just seem off about this drama. The only good about this are the kisses and intimacy. the forced kisses aren't good to watch either. So, it's just 7.0 for me.

I should have dropped this from ep.18 but decided to hold on more till ep. 22 and can't stand the breakup getting longer. Thanks for some spoilers in the comments section that helped me decide to drop the drama. ML's character is just so pathetic. Everything was a cliche and so predictable. I guess one thing that made me stick to this drama a bit more is because of the SML. He's more of the lead guy character than the ML himself. Overall, it's only a 6.5 for me

same thoughts. dropped that drama too.
