Really had to drop this at ep. 16. The story seems going nowhere. It's just all about architectural design woodcrafts and the likes. The romance is there. But didn't felt the chemistry much. Even the kisses aren't executed well. Just like two lips touching . The character of the ML is likeable. He's very honest with his feelings. I liked his transition from a stiff to a romantic loyal guy. Didn't like much the FL. Her being a royalty was such a big deal that she can't be honest with the man that she loves. It's getting annoying already. Their unnecessary fights which is mainly caused by the FL herself. I guess am not really a fan who tries to hide her identity just because she's a royalty. Really admired the ML's patience here. Not much interested either on the supporting couples. There's nothing much interesting to begin with. This drama really ain't for me. :(

Another roller coaster ride of emotions from ep. 13 to 14. Preview on ep. 15 shows glimmer of hope for a happy ending. :) Regardless of who's Min Jae's Father is, I just wanna see the main leads being able to express their love for each other with no hindrances or restrictions up to the present times. They both deserve to be happy together. Still crossing fingers for that kind of ending. :D

I am so loving this drama. It truly deserves the high rating. I rarely watch school drama, but this got me hooked from episode 1. I love Nam Joo Hyuk in Weightlifting Kim Bok Joo and still loving him now in this drama. Thankfully, this was recommended to me as I was told that this is way better than Business Proposal. Truly it is.
I am so enjoying the story which gives a REply 1997 vibe. The romance is kinda slow-burn but worth the wait. What I like most here, is that it depicts the realities of life. And it also shows that not all good looking men are into hot, gorgeous looking girls. :D I love the characters of both main leads. The only unlikeable for me is Go Yurim. I just don't like her character from the start. And I prefer Moon Jiwoong to be paired to Ji SeungWan than Yurim. Though I know, may never happen based on the story plot.
OMG, the last part of episode 13 was absolutley hot! And Nam Joo Hyuks lines will make you absolutely head over heels in love.
Looking forward on the last 3 episodes. Cutie Pie and Sweetie Pie won't be there for sure. lolz. :D But Full House vol. 16 will be out I guess. :D Still crossing fingers for a happy ending. :)

Yang Mi still reminds me of Fu Yao. She plays almost the same character. The only difference is that, this is a modern setup and The Legend of Fu Yao is Xianxia drama. This drama gave a different vibe for me. Kinda more realistic than other CEO cliche drama. ML's character is young, quite agressive and immature sometimes. But I liked his sense of loyalty when it comes to love. Another thing I likes about him is he doesn't give up specially when it comes to relationships. I enjoyed the love triangle trope. Many draggy scenes midway. I felt the chemistry more on the second couple Bi Chen and Tian Yu. What this drama lack most are the phydical contact among couples. Kisses have been missing that's why you can't feel the passion of their love in this drama. Main couple have lots of scenes together, however, I never felt the real chemistry between them. The ending is not presented well for me. Now, I understand this low rating for this drama.

hahaha so true.... :D

Am really not into school dramas, but decided to give this a shot as I like Guo Jun Chen. First episode was quite interesting. You'll get hooked. However, as it passes, it becomes draggy for me. It is very slow paced. 95% of the drama is on school setup that made me uninterested. Very slow-burn as well. Like the kiss just happened on the last 3 ep. and just for 2 eps I believe. I only like the part that they cohabitate. I also like the ML's character development. I didn't see any improvement in FL's character. Up to the end she ain't still lady like. I was hoping for a fashion transformation for the FL but didn't happen. Even the second couple has a very slow pace and slowburn as well.
Overall, I find this drama overrated. I still prefer Go Ahead and Put Your Head on my Shoulder as top school Cdrama for me.

The exact episode, I don't remember. but, definitely around last 10-15 episodes of it. this is a slow-burn drama. so they became an official couple on a very much later part.
Yes, there's a breakup and love triangle. I enjoyed the love triangle part. The breakup was resolved I think around 1-2 episodes. It isn't actually a breakup, but more of separation by distance and time.

There's a separation between leads but only for a very short time.. They were able to patch up misunderstandings easily. For annoying second leads, not really. There's a character development among them. This is quite an enjoyable drama. You won't get annoyed much. 😁

Totally agree on this.

Most probably. Well, everyone has its own cup of tea. I agree that SWDBS is one of the best romcoms kdrama in the later parts of the year 2000. I've been watching kdrama romcoms since wayback 2004 and I can really see the difference in terms of the quality.

Precisely! Been watching kdramas since 2004. And yes, I also love Mary Stayed Out All night. Jang Keun Suk oppa! 😍 hehehehe Thank you for the recommendations. Am gonna check that out.. 😊

I guess, this drama just didn't gave tha old feeling of classic kdrama romcoms back then. I've been watching kdrama romcoms since the classic Queen of Romcoms Yoon Eun Hye like Coffee Prince, Lie to Me, Princess Hours and other Romcoms such as My name is Kim Sam Soon and Song Hye Kyo's classic Romcom Full House. Which later on still got the vibe with the dramas I mentioned on my first comment. Still, I hope they can do more romcoms that would be adapted to today's standards as yoo've mentioned but would give that usual classic romcoms kdrama vibe. I missed those too. That's why I shifted lately to Cdrama romcoms. I'm feeling those fun vibes romcoms lately with them than Kdramas.

So, I kinda got excited to see another kdrama romcom coming. Like it's been awhile to see a good romcoms kdrama. To mention a few, What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?, Stong Woman do bong Soon, Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bokjoo, Goblin and so many more a few years back.
And so I checked this out. Had a good start. though everything for me was a cliche. Felt a bit draggy for me epi.3 onwards.I'm so not a fan of some slapstick comedic scenes . I guess the soaring high rating for this drama are mostly first time romcom viewers.
Will go back to this drama for the remaining half of the series. I don't usually watch ongoing dramas as I have to wait for the upcoming episode. Just gave this a shot as I was curious with this exagerrated high ratings. Let's see if this rating can be justified by the remaining half of it. What am I expecting to see on the remaining half, i guess there will be a love rivalry between CEO Kang and Chef Mi Woo. Another thing, it's just always disappointing to see in a drama that the the second couple developed much faster than the main leads.
Based on halfway of the drama, I still feel this drama is overrated.

Exactly! :) And Brian plays almost the same role as WWW. Am now on epi. 7 so far, everything seems cliche as far as the story goes. Well, am here for SongKang anyways. :D

Okay, so I'm just like on episode 2. As soon as I saw Brian (Forecast Director) on epi 1, it already gave me Search:WWW vibe. And it didn't fail me on episode 2. The one night stand scene and the Japanese resto bar where the chemistry begins were the exact same scenes that happened in WWW. The drama is quite predictable, so I'm not having high expectations on it. Just simply watching to see SongKang again after Nevertheless. And yes, he's still that cute, hot guy that you can't miss to watch. Am just gonna enjoy Songkang's hotness here. :D

Another long Xianxia drama. Story was just okay for me. Not really that interesting. I guess, after watching so many xianxia and wuxia dramas, you'll get used to watching tribulations and blood spitting fight scenes. FL's character is likeable. I like her best during her mortal life. ML's character is not really ideal for me. TBH, ML's role doesn't quite match with the FL. He kinda literally looks mature for the FL. Ending was just okay though kinda confusing. For some reason, I still prefer Jing Xiu for the FL. Despite of his past issues. He would have a character development if he was chosen by the FL. I forwarded most of the scenes, as it is not really that interesting. Enjoyed some comedic parts. But not the animal animations. Am really not a fan of it. Overall, if you haven't watched Ancient Love Poetry yet, you may enjoy this. But for me, it's a Nah! ALP is still the best for me.

Just finished watching this drama. 60 episodes was quite long. This could have been made around 40-50eps. Loved the women empowerment here. First time to watch a drama having FL as The General. Was able to watch FL on the drama Love Me If You Dare. First time to see her here portraying in a historical drama. Loved also the ML's character development. What I liked most in him is his loyalty and literally a dependable husband. And yes, not to forget his overloading sweetness to his wife. I enjoyed the sweet moments of the leads. Also their almost none misunderstandings. The supporting casts have quite interesting characters as well. Like the severely womanizer Emperor of Xixia. The cousin of the FL who's so into her from the start.
The only downside of this drama are the imperial issues of the 3 kingdoms which are not so interesting. And the ending, it's just not so well defined for me. I would rather prefer see the main leads enjoying family time with their kids.
Overall, interesting drama, and not to mention, the very colorful outfits used. It only shows this drama was absolutely well budgeted.

I haven't watched both of that dramas yet. Do they have happy endings? I just don't like watching tragic endings. :D

Yes, I've watched Dance of the Sky Empire. Haven't watched The Legends yet. Still thinking about it. I just don't feel like watching Xu Kai with Bai Lu. hehehe
Have you watched Ancient Love Poetry? That's one of the best Xu Kai's drama for me.
