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.

Just a cute fluffy teen drama I should say. Took a break from watching wuxia and xianxia dramas. First 14 episodes was okay. got a bit draggy for me onwards. Super slow burn too. I guess, the writer wanted to maintain the innocense of the character of the leads.Would have been great if the feelings weren't suppressed for too long. ML's character was okay, not too sweet nor romantic for me. I feel that the FL exerted more effort than the ML himself. The love triangle trope wasn't much emphasized. Kisses are short and sweet, not romantically enticing I should say. I guess am so overly done with this type f genre so to speak. hehehe So far, It's still Go Ahead and Put Your Head on my Shoulder is on top for me in these type of genre dramas.

I think this was kinda enjoyable Light drama I should say. It has the same feels as watching Duolou Continent. The only difference is that the romance is quite visible here compared to Duolou. Still, I find the sweet moments too much lacking. Too minimal kiss as well. Good swordsmanship skills are presented here. Story wise, its just okay. Most scenes were consumed on finding the cure for the ML, in which I find a bit draggy. First time to watch Wang Yi Bo in a drama. One reason I was able to hold onto this drama till the end because of that irresistble charming smile of Yi Bo. Fl's character is likeable. A badass fierce female beauty fighter. I've seen her first in the drama Our Glamorous time and portrays her character so well. Seen her also in Story of MingLan, but had to drop it as I find too draggy. The ending for me was just okay, but not completely satisfied. Overall, if you got nothing lined up to watch yet, this will do for the mean time.

Fall In Love 2021 Republican Cdrama. Her role there was Commander Tan Xuan Lin's Sister, Ml's sister. am still annoyed with her role there. hehehe Oh thanks for the info. Haven't watched Huang Junjie in any other dramas yet except for Truth or Dare. I might check that out.

Totally agree with the annoying vibe. Her character in Fall In Love is so annoying as well. However, I liked Truth or Dare because of Huang Junjie. I love seeing him portraying quite a mature role despite his young age. Hope you give it a shot sometime. ;)

So, I checked out this drama before watching The Autumn Ballad. first, I didn't watch Season 1 of this drama. Based on some comments I read, the entire cast was changed for this season. It's my first time to watch Jeremy Tsui in a drama. He's okay and good looking of course. But I didn't felt much of his character here. Let me point out the cast first. I liked Wang Yu Wen and Wang Zi Qi in the drama Once We Get Married. Their chemistry there was perfect. This is my second time watching Wang YU Wen in a Xianxia/wuxia genre, the first one was in The Chang'an Youth. Literally, she needs to get off on this genre. She can pull off a modern drama but not on this one. Her acting is really poor for both dramas. I liked Wang Zi Qi's character as CEO in Once We Get Married. But surely, hated his character here. I didn't see any character development in his role. He fell in love with the wrong woman up to the end. Too blinded with wrong love. The writer didn't give justice to Lian Yi's character. she should have been the love interest by Mu Yang from the start. Another thing, it's my Second time too to watch Dai Wen Wen in a drama, first was in Princess Silver. she portrayed same unlikeable, cunning charcter. She really can pull off these type of roles. She's really hateable I should say. hehehe
I just didn't connect with the story for the main reason that I feel like watching Goblin. Obviously, the story was so patterned in that drama. So many important characters that shouldn't have died that made this drama really bad. The ending was just a so so. Didn't liked it either. Overall, if you haven't watched Goblin, you'll enjoy this. Still, I didn't felt good watching this drama. Everything was off. Specially the romance. I didn't felt the chemistry at all.
Still looking forward to watch The Autumn Ballad. Hope Jeremy's role is more likeable there. And for Wang Zi Qi. I believe I like him more if he sticks to CEO roles. Same goes for Wang Yu Wen, she should stick to modern dramas.

Oh yes! They are on my plan to watch list. Definitely will watch Autmn Ballad for Jeremy Tsui. and of course, Royal Feast, I so love Xu Kai not to miss it. My top 2 so far are still Ancient Love Poetry and Princess Silver. I so love fast pace dramas, with the right balance of romance, interesting story plot and of course, good looking men. :)

From ep. 28 I skipped to ep. 39 to watch the marriage, got disappointed to see that she didn't end up with Yanruo. watched till 51 and finally decided to see the ending. Just didn't worked for me at all. I guess this is really not my type of genre. Am so into wuxia and xianxia, and of course, romance is a big factor for me.

Thank you for this comment. This is what I absolutely felt in this drama. Didn't get that connection. Not really my type of historical ones. Am still into that wuxia/xianxia genre. it's really draggy for me from ep 1. Romance is so bad too. I guess the ML is too off for the FL here. Still preferred Yanruo for the lead guy.

I just didn't find a connection to this drama. I feel that this drama is overrated. I rarely watch melodramas and I just tried this due to its soaring rating. However, I find myself wasting my time on this. This is too draggy for me. not interesting story plot at all. There seem to be wrong in the pairing of casts as well. Ming Lang should have been paired to Yanruo all through out to make this story interesting. Not really my cup of tea. Dropped this drama.

So I just finished this drama. Quite a long ride for 66 episodes. My thoughts on this. For me, I think this is kinda overrated. Yes story plot is quite good. But I still think this should have been shortened to around 50 ep[isodes. Too many unnecessary scenes like the issues of their parents which ate around 5 episodes. Too many flashbacks that serves as fillers. Also some of the elements given weren't I think necessary and doesn't have a connection in the end, like the water sword training Fu Yao underwent, the leaf elixir thing that doesn't have a function basically so to speak, the multiple color pebble stone that didn't serve its purpose at all. Nopt to mention, the singing part of Prince Lie and Ya LHan Zu, which is totally unnecessary. The drama itself is quite heavy, you won't have a good feel about it. Too many brutal deaths. The romance is very much lacking. There are more painful moments on the main leads rather than sweet ones. Kisses are executed great still lacking. Ethan Juan is definitely hot in this drama with those abs. hehehe But, I felt the chemistry more for Fu Yao and Prince Lie. I ship them more than the ML himself. My favorite character here is Seven. I would prefer for him to be given a love partner here, I though its gonna be Ya Lhan Zu, Unfortunately, she was paired to another. I didn't felt much the ending. I still sense its lacking. Fight scenes were good in this drama. I still haven't found my 3rd best wuxia/xianxia drama. Still this doesn't qualify for me. My top 1 is still Ancient Love Poetry and top 2 is Princess Silver.

First time to watch the main leads in a drama. Story isn't much interesting. No major complications. Quite predictable. ML has an ideal character here. A promising young, good looking, well-off, down to earth guy who doesn't fear marriage at an early age. FL is not bad too. Love came a bit late for her. She's still young looking and beautiful, smart, independent, mature, hardworking. The leads were able to pull off the chemistry. Only downside here, is it's Slow Burn. The supporting couples has a much faster pace in terms of romance than the leads themselves. Overall, it's a light romance that have a feel good ending. Gave this an 8 rating for the kisses, though a bit late, still you get to enjoy. :D
