This is the my top 2 in the Wuxia/Xianxia/historical Genre Cdrama. Still, on my first is Ancient Love Poetry. This is the second time I was led into tears. Superb acting by the cast, Awesome story. Got me hooked up to this drama from episode 1, which rarely happens so to speak. It made me laugh on the first 20 episodes. I really enjoyed the exchange of sarcasms in this drama. Midway kinda felt a bit drag, but caught on the last 20 episodes. As I do expect, there will be full of treachery, deception, hate, greed of power and love. What i liked most in this drama, you get a full package where there are funny moments, full packed action of fight scenes, romance and lots of life lessons. Honestly, after I finished watching the entire drama, my most loved characters are Rong Qi and Fu Chou. Didn't like much the character of the ML. I am not a fan of the character of the FL either. She has so many trust issues. she may have a kind heart but not sincere enough to the people so close to her. I would have given this a perfect 10 but, I find the kisses lacking, not romantically enticing, so I gave it a 9.5 for a great story. Overall, truly an awesome drama you shouldn't miss. This is another drama that felt heavy despite a good ending.
First 10 episodes was quite fun. Got draggy onwards till the end. Forwarded most of the time. I checked out this drama because of the FL. I liked her character in My GF i s an alien and Crush. Story of this drama isn't much interesting. First time to watch the ML and SML too. I think, I like the SML better than the ML.. Didn't felt the chemistry much on the Main couple. Definitely lacked romance. Kisses of the main couple aren't comvincing at all. The Second couple was way better. This is a just a typical light drama with very light romance as well.
So, after watching the final 2episodes, here are my thoughts. Episode 15 felt like a drag. It's like a filler epi. Though, the writer here I believe tried to make another lead on for the finale. For the Final episode itself, I really liked how the writer wrapped up the drama. Every character was given a closure. Justice was served, a closure and a new beginning to all, forgiveness, and I like the part that some secrets are meant not to be revealed. Like i said with my previous comment, i am really not into this type of genre, but, for some reason, I liked how the story was presented, the portrayal of the actors are superb,. It maybe cliche for some, but for me, just the right balance in everything. As I mentioned, one thing I liked here most is that it is fast paced. Counterattacks are proportionally aligned in every episode. I guess, the main idea that i liked in the story is that the writer chose to obtain justice in a fairly manner. For someone who belongs to the upper class of society, they could have easily used their money, power, influences and connections to resolve this kind of issue, but here, the writer took the risk in plainly using mind games to combat the issue. Though the suicidal trope was highly used in this drama per se. Still, I really enjoyed the show. Kudos to the writer and cast.!
So I decided to check out this drama. Got curious on the ML as it's my first time to see him in a drama along with the FL. The story is entirely a drag. Had to forward most of the scenes. Nothing much interesting. Not even the romance. The romance is to bland. didn't felt much the chemistry of the leads. If you got nothing more to watch and just want to pass time and watch a very light drama, here's the drama for you.
The first 20 episodes for me is kinda drag. Have to forward most of the scenes. The story isn't much interesting. Kinda slowburn. The real deal on the leads relationship picked up on epi.21, The last 9 episodes got me hooked since the main couple started their lovey-dovey. Great ending! The only cliff hanger is the real identity of FL. I guess, the FL chose not to acknowledge her past being a royalty Princess. Instead, embraced the family she had now and her title being a duchess. I must agree with the others comjments here that the lying of her pregnancy is the worst part of the story. Though, it's what the title tries to convey. I just didn't enjoy those parts , that i have to skip most of the time. It's my first time to watch the leads in a drama. The chemistry was there. Great acting as well by the entire cast. Yes, you might really not enjoy all the lies, just enjoy the sweet moments of the leads.
So, I checked out this drama after seeing some trailers in the social media. I find the story average. Nothing really exciting. The chemistry of the leads was there, but not enough sweet moments to cultivate that fluttering feeling. For some reason, the character of the ML gives like Edward's character in Twilight vibe. This would have become more interesting if there were more romantic aspect in the story. Even the supporting characters were not even given progress romantically. First time to watch the leads in a drama. Not really a fan either of them. I liked Deng Wei's character here. He's more interesting to watch. If only the writer made him the third wheel, I think that would trigger my interest for this drama.
Am not usually into this type of genre drama, but this one got me hooked with the twists and turns of events. I liked that its kinda fast paced. I really have to commend the awesome acting of actors in this cast, most specially Park Sang Hoon, after watching epi 14. This kid really can act. I also liked the different lead ons to know who's the real culprit of the crime. So, it's down to the last 2 eps. I have to agree with some of the comments here. this should have ended around epi. 12. The writer could have wrapped, solved and revealed everything at that time. I find it unnecessary to extend and drag the story when all the evidences have already emerged at epi 14. Well, it's all about business and ratings, they simply want to earn more. Hope the last 2 eps will give justice to all the characters. Though, based on the preview, I don't like the idea that the 2 FLs are teaming up to pin down the ML. It's a given fact based on the story, still, Mira's side of story is still unforgiveable in wrecking a family. Hope the writer would give emphasis on that.
So, I just finished the drama. First, I really won't consider this a romance drama. Not at all for me. This just got me hooked from epi. 1, for one is the visual effects. They did great on this. It gave me a Street Fighter, X-men vibe kind of drama. Not to mention one of the scene was kinda literally copied in one of the scenes in X-men, Days of Future Past movie. The story isn't that interesting at all. I just enjoyed watching their battles and power level ups. Some comedy stints added perks in this drama. It's my first time to watch Xiao Zhan in a drama. such a promising actor. Good acting and definitely, good looking. He kinda reminds me of Nam Joo Hyuk. I think they have a resemblance. the main downside of this drama aside of having no romance, is the ending. I really hate broken endings. And my expectations on the ML being able to show off great power in the end wasn't given justice. I guess, another rushed ending stint by the writer. Not really a fan of the FL here. Still would prefer a more lady like FL for the ML in this drama. Overall, if you're into gaming, I guess you'd enjoy this.
I didn't find this cliche at all lol, cliche to me is one that follows a plot which I expect and see often. This…
That's good to know. :) Probably I've watched 20+ wuxia and xianxia dramas already, that I've already seen the trend of the writers in terms of their story plot that makes me see the cliche in every drama I am watching. 90% of them you'll know it's a good drama once you get hooked from epi.1.
The story didn't gave me that appeal. I need to forward most of the scenes. It's my first time to see the mainleads in a drama. Got hooked by Neo Huo's face. The romance is there, still it lacked substance. Most of the scenes were all about solving the family issues. I find the sweet moments of the leads lacking. The kisses aren't convincing as well. I find the drama quite long in which could have made it around 24 eps. The only thing I admired in this drama aside from Neo are the dresses of the FL. Very elegant and well designed. Overall, just another wuxia drama cliche.
I am quite enjoying this drama inspite of a not so interesting story plot. Been watching the episodes without forwarding scenes not until I reached episode 15. I loved the chemistry of the leads, specially the sweetness. Kinda felt disappointed when the ML started to hide things from FL just to solve his own personal issues. It's like he wants for him to be trusted by the wife but he doesn't trust his wife at all. He's ruining everything for his wife just for his own seeking of justice. I'll stick to this drama till the end even I have to forward these irritating scenes. Definitely would affect my rating to this drama. So to continue, I just finished the entire drama. It really went downhill from episode 15. The jealousy which turned to be more of greed made the story more unlikeable. And I really don't like the idea that the ML keep on hiding things from the FL just to make a plot on resolving issues. It's my first time to watch the leads in this drama. The chemistry was there on the first 15 episodes. But, the story really ruined the momentum. The obstacles looked forced just to make the story challenging. I think this is a wrong move by the writer. Gave it a 6.5 for being fast paced for the leads and was able to pull off that chemistry in the beginning. Overall, not a recommendable drama if you're into feel good drama.
Not really a fan of the story. First time to watch the entire cast in this drama. The leads were able to pull off that chemistry. Kinda slow burn as it was tagged. But, the sweetness caught on when they became an official couple. Leads were good looking. Will look forward to see them in another drama, hopefully with a better story plot.
Same here. But I find Hongyi's role as sixth brother and Yelu Pusanu, more intriguing here than if he had been…
So true, I liked Cesar's role in The General 's Lady. He's way too romantic there. Same goes with Hongyi, his role in Love Better than Immortality is way much romantic. Still, their charms are so irresistible. 😍
Got interested in this drama because of the 2Ml's and of course, who wouldn't resist the charm of Hongyi, whom i think should've gotten the lead role, still, seeing him in this drama is enough. The story is just okay, am not really into detecftive, mystery type of genre. The romance aspect is absolutely lacking here. I guess the writer was way too conservative that physical display of affection is indeed too scarce in this drama. I've seen other dramas of these 3 men, they were in the zone romantically. Sadly, they weren't able to convey that romantic vibe here. The only remarkable thing here of course, are the martial arts. the swordsmanship were portrayed very well. It's my first time to watch the FL, for some reason, am not interested in her portrayal nor her character in this drama. As I've said the lack of romance didn't gave this drama that vibe to make the Fl's character interesting.
I am so into this drama from epi. 1. But for some reason, after Mr. Mu's death, everything got it wrong. Was it…
So, i'll just share my thoughts after watching the last 5 ep love for the isodes of this drama. As expected, it all really went wrong after epi. 27. For me, it has already lost its touch. The excitement, the sweetness and I was hoping for more romance for the last 5 epi but the writer wasn't able to give it. The wedding wasn't given much emphasis. It felt everything was rushed up to the finale. It focused more on the war itself rather than the romance aspect of the drama in which the title should convey. The writer tried to pull that happy ending but it didn't gave the great vibe. I guess that character twist of the ML really made him not so likeable. His arrogance led the problem one after another causing deaths of some persons close to him. The FL on the other hand simply showned that her love for the ML obviously is way more empowering than the guy's love for her. It's just too cliche to give up on love so easily just because he can't find his way out to the mess he entered in the first place. And ask your rival to take care of your girl because you don't think you'll be able to fulfill his promise. It's like giving the spotlight to the supporting ML, in which , honestly has a much ideal character than the ML himself. I just feel sad about this drama, as it's my first time to appreciate a Republican drama and still didn't meet up to my expectations. The writer should have done way better if only that twist didn't happen and maintained the ideal sweet, loving ML guy in the begining. Just another thing, i really hated the Tan xuan Lin's sister character here. I just find her really annoying. so self-centered. She portrays same character in the drama Truth or Dare, she also portrays a self-centered character. Anyways, I guess i'll be sticking more to wuxia and xianxia dramas as the romance there are way better presented eventhough, there are lots of bloodshed. I've always loved office romcoms but there's quite a few these days. the last one I superloved was Once we Get Married. Hope to be able to watch more upcoming good dramas.
