Finished the show, it was a great watch. It was totally different from the historical cdramas i've seen, especially a transmigration show. The two leads are such a breath of fresh air in this genre, I really liked them and their bond as outsiders. The other characters were also great. I think my favourite part was the acknowledgement that they are still humans, and that we should care for them even if in the novel they exist for merely a page.
The villain was great, I could not envision Tang Xiao Tian as a villain after seeing him in other shows, but he really did so good here. I got chills when he was with the FL after the fire. I also liked Yong Er's character, having another transmigrator, but someone who is technically not a real outsider like our leads. It sounds confusing, but to an avid transmigration reader, this was a fun twist.
The story was interesting, the plot twists had me shocked. The character arcs for everyone was enjoyable. The ending fell off a bit for me, felt like a lot was happening but also nothing of value. Despite that, I enjoyed the show. It definitely sets the benchmark for future transmigration shows (at least in regards to characters, not the transmigration part).
Side note: The funniest part to me was that the two things these two leads brought from their world was hotpot and guns lol
I'm watching episode 30 and I'm so confused... which army is which? Who is fighting who? Why? What side is the king on? What side protects Duan? Are the imperial guards on the king's side? But how? They were in the castle while this guy was hiding? What's the backstory behind a certain army protecting each side... Someone help...
Romance is a part of life, so any of the characters can plunge into romance any time.. FL was so flattered when…
Exactly! She is flattered but not getting butterflies... cause she's like aww you're so cute, thank you. They aren't right for her. They just want to pair the FL with a ML, a woman with a man. But they are forgetting to look at her character and whether they actually suit her at all....
well I mean President Shin seemed to essentially be targeting companies on the same premise that Hong is targeting…
That's why I felt like death might be the answer. Mirrors the last president! He will get some kind of arc, but it's hard to see right now. Maybe he is some undercover agent or something. But yes, he's robin hood but doesn't give to the poor, probably keeps for himself and his DK team to go after other bad companies.
This. I feel like people are relying so heavily on tags that they search for romance where there is none (re:…
I actually find him handsome, I love his smile, but it's lowkey creepy, like ted bundy smile lol. I then realized he played an abusive exboyfriend in shinhye's last drama lol! The judge from hell.
He is sweet , handsome and rich . so yeah ofc we are rooting for albert 😂 bfr (also didn't know "grown…
Like comment below, being grown don't mean no romance, she just too mature for these boys, clearly. You can see how she acts around them. Also, she has more important things to do, her mission.
This is not a romance drama, like the comment below said, they sold us on the wrong premise. I honestly don't know what the ending will be like for those two leads, but I doubt they'll be together. I lowkey think.... he is going to be killed. Just like the last president. Just a theory! Cause he needs an arc! I cannot see it ending positively with his current path and how far along we are.
To those shipping FL and Albert.... I think you just dislike the ML so much you'd rather have her with this bum. I think he's sweet, but that's it. I don't see any positive traits about him other than the fact he isn't a horrible person and he's handsome. And...there is clearly nothing romantic in the air between them, he's just part of her lil harem. And she could not give two shits about her harem, cause she a grown ass woman. At most, he is just a "partner" in journey.
As much as I would've loved a romance, which is why I started the drama, I'd rather her end up with four forever-sisters instead of Albert. Rooting for no romance!
I remember reading comments when this first came out and seeing talk about this sister of the male lead, and now 17 episodes in.... bruh. This girl is crazy! I genuinely can't recall a character this unironically stupid. I roll my eyes every time she is on screen. She clearly has never seen Frozen lmao
When she talked about liking the guy, I was like okay this can happen, AND THEN THEY SHOWED US WHAT HAPPENED.... BRUHHHHHH my eyes are at the back of my head. She just got worse and worse, more audacious, more ridiculous, deprived of any judgement. She clearly doesn't know his true character, and that isn't her fault. BUT ISN'T NOT KNOWING ENOUGH? YOU DON'T KNOW THIS MAN! This girl here with a knife up to her neck, sacrificing herself for him, and he ain't even getting out the damn cart.
sorry I meant to reply yesterday but now I saw someone say you were the only one that thinks this way I wanted…
Lol this mad me laugh. Thank you. Yeah, I know I'm not alone, but their comment did surprise me. I tend to be nitpicky, so that's probably feel that way, whereas you, and others, can at least understand my point.
sorry I meant to reply yesterday but now I saw someone say you were the only one that thinks this way I wanted…
Haha good to know I'm not completely alone! Yes, people have personal differences. This is one of those shows that doesn't need to overflow with emotions, considering the time-period and the kind of people they are (slave/prince). I think, regardless of the very similar expressions, it works, which is why I'm enjoying watching.
Yeah, it seems like you’re the only one who thinks that way. I’m not sure what kind of acting you expect them…
Definitely don't want them to overact, but don't you think some moments need more emotion? I do like their diction, I think they deliver their lines well, and they portray the roles well. And you're right, their acting compliments each other. My issue is with facial expressions. It seems the same. It's really hard to see the difference in their expressions, especially the male leads. Sure, maybe I don't have a discerning eye like you, but they could do more, especially in scenes where they need it. Not everything needs to be subtle... and just cause I want less subtle, doesn't mean I want over-the-top.
She definitely is the most expressive, considering she is the female lead. I know she is a great actor, which is why I say she's better than most, especially ML. I just personally am not a fan of her style. If the crying scene got you, great! Not me... excuse me for wanting her to be a little bit more heart broken.
I gotta be so honest. when I started I said I really liked the show, and I still do. I'm enjoying the plot, the body-swap was also fun and well-done. I said that I could kind of understand the hate surrounding their looks, but I personally think they are well suited to play a prince and slave girl . However... as it goes on, the acting seems to be a problem.
The ML literally has one expression, even in emotional times, his face doesn't change. Like bro just saved her from an arrow, and again ._. hong eunjo... I feel like his face doesn't move above his mouth. The FL too, seems to have similar expressions, either blank, that derpy cute look, big eyes, but would wish to see more dynamic expressions. Especially during emotional scenes! I feel like she was really forcing herself to cry in that one scene.
It's so funny, I feel like they did better acting during the body-swap portion, maybe cause it required more from them. It could be a choice from the directing side, cause the script is fine, acting is the only problem. It's hard to immerse myself when the acting is not so great. Anyone else feel that way? This is up until episode 10.
