It was not bad. I loved the part where the female lead gets into a game, that was most interesting :D For the rest of the story, it had hilarious moments, it had crazy moments, it had sad moments, death, etc, but I liked it.
However, the last few episodes turned complicated. Like, she had another identity. And we conclude that she has 3 identities; her real life identity and two other identities in the game, like she was a deity and then as a mortal in the game. Oh yeah, she had another one, apparently she was not the Prime Minister's daughter = wow, complicated.
Also, like one moment, Zhong Wu Mei died and Lin Luo Jing won the game and could go back to her real world. And the game master told her, 'congrats you won, you have found true love with a bad ending.' And I'm like, what the hell just happened!!!
But, Lin Luo Jing decided to stay in the game and use her last life to bring Zhong Wu Mei back to life and stay with him. And when she was going to take the arrow instead Hua Hua decided to offer his life to her again.
I really pity this guy. Like he gave up his body to let her incarnate and after looking for her in the mortal world in 100 years, her found her and protected her. And now he died for her.
Anyway, when I finally thought, that the main leads can finally be together, the King intervened and once again the leads cannot be together. This is all because Zhong Wu Mei is going to become king and needs like the other girl to secure their land and country.
And I'm like what's the point of Lin Luo Jing staying in the game, if she still cannot be with Zhong Wu Mei? Uhh, so frustrating!!!!
This was not a romantic simulation love game at all!!! And like Lin Luo Jing never actually got to choose the one to fall in love with. The game lead her to Zhong Wu Mei at the end and she had to marry him. Like the Persia Prince had to die for her to not marry Zhong Wu Mei.
In my opinion, she never got to choose at all. Anyway, her marriage ended well as she fell in love with Zhong Wu Mei at the end.
No wonder, I got suspicious when the game did not end when Lin Luo Jing found her true love. As after all, she fell in love with Zhong Wu Mei. However, it was because Zhong Wu Mei had to die for her, to really win the game and be considered true love according to the game. Uhh, so frustrating!!!
For the cast, they did a great job :D
For the characters; the female lead was kind of overboard at the beginning but I got used to her, as after all she choose that character in the beginning of the game. I kind of did not like her in the beginning, but she was hilarious many times, kind, was indecisive who to choose, etc. But I started to like her as the story got along.
For the rest of the characters, I liked them. They were fitting for game characters. What I did not like was that all the main men had to like the female lead, but it was the point of the story and the game, so I had to accept that. But I kind of wish, they have their own happy ending though. Well, Hua Hua died for her, maybe the other two will. I kind of doubt it though.
Anyway, the last episode left........
EDIT: Finished! (Watched it in 2 days)
Thank God, it's over, it got too draggy and too dramatic in the end. At least the main leads, we assume anyway, that they got together and stay with each other forever. Zhong Wu Mei chose Lin Luo Jing over the throne, yay!
However, the ending was left open. The way I see it, the story can go two ways; like the story can continue in the game and focuses on the fight for the throne and wars between the countries and for land. Also, hatred and vengeance because the Princess who was supposed to marry Zhong Wu Mei, could not marry him. So, once again we get to see the main leads struggle to be together.
On the other hand, the story can focus on Lin Luo Jing taking the game characters to the real world. This one would be more interesting and hilarious in my opinion.
Anyway, I don't know if they will continue it. If they do, I will see how they will continue the story and then decide to watch it.
Btw, Hua Hua lived, yay! :D I still wished that the other 3 guys who also fell in love with Lin Luo Jing, get their own happy ending. Also, I wanted Lin Luo Jing's lady-in-waiting to end up with Zhong Wu Mei's bodyguard.
Oh yeah, I guessed who the masked guy was. It was the other prince. I would say I'm awesome, but after 10 years of drama watching, aka experience, it's always someone who appears in the drama, but is left in the shadows. So, I knew it was him, because he was the only one left to suspect and like he acted too good to be true.
Also, I forgot to comment that for a drama that was short, the leads had many kiss scenes and they were not bad.
Anyway, the drama was not bad. I think it's worth a watch :)
It was better than I expected. I liked the story where we see the realities of K-pop industries. Also, I got to see all the work involved to form k-pop idols. It's really hard work with lots of overtime and sleepless nights.
I also liked the characters, especially the female lead. It's the first time, I see a female lead in a average way. Because we usually see a weak female lead, or a sassy female lead, the extremes ends. This one was in the middle, if I'm explaining well. She is weak at times, shy, clumsy, but also sassy, strong, does the right thing, is honest, etc. She got qualities of both the usual female leads, we usually see, in my opinion.
What made this drama also interesting was that she sees the future. However, it did not always go well or she misunderstands what she sees. It's like sometimes she guesses and sometimes she does not. It was more realistic that way and I enjoyed it. It was hilarious when she got it wrong or misunderstands a situation ^_^
For the story, it ended kind of open. I think they planned for a second season as that's what they wrote at the end of the last episode. But seeing how a year already passed after the airing of this drama, I don't think they will make one any time soon.
Anyway, if they decide to continue it, I will root for a second season, as I want to know what will happen to Yoo Eun Sung and the SOUL team members. Also, does her future-seeing make her forget her memories? I'm kind of curious about that.
I loved it :D It's basically the same as the original Korean movie with some parts different. But I love watching the different remakes of this story :) Definitely worth a watch ^_^
SPOILERS:currently watching.....and on episode 14 (7 to be exact) (6/10/19)It's very interesting and engaging…
MEGA SPOILERS:
On episode 26...... (8/10/19)
This episode is so sad. Lee Eun Ho is actually Red Cry and killed all those people who abused children. I was totally wrong and did not guess at all. I started to suspect it was him like from episode 23, since the Head Director asked him to read poems for him. So I totally did not guess.
This episode explains what exactly happened, how the website started, the murders, what Lee Eun Ho went through as a child, etc. I understand his reasoning why he killed those child abusers. But as Cha Woo Kyung said, it's still murder.
I don't know what to feel exactly. I feel empty, like life can be so ugly and full of pain.
For the rest of the drama, I thought that it would be based on finding Red Cry, but there are still 6 episodes left (3 more exactly). So I think it would focus on Cha Woo Kyung and her past with the girl of the green dress. Her step-mother knows something and is hiding it. But I don't know what or why.
For Cha Woo Kyung's sister, I'm glad she got her consciousness back. I hope she fully recovers and I think there is something about her car accident. Maybe her sister found out something and her step-mother tried to stop her, aka tried to kill her. I don't know, maybe I'm stretching it too far.
I'm really curious about the identity of the little girl with the green dress. Maybe she is her other sister? Maybe she was adopted and Cha Woo Kyung did something to her accidentally and from the shock she forgot?
Or maybe something happened with her birth mother? They did take a photo together. Or maybe Cha Woo Kyung is adopted or is actually part of another family, something bad happened and the currently family she is on took her in?
I don't know, I'll continue the drama.
I'm still finding this drama interesting. Probably at the end and also from some comments I read, I'll end up feeling empty after seeing this drama.
However, the part I loved most and I am sure of, was trying to guess what happened, or who killed whom or who is the actual mastermind. I loved that :)
Also, awesome acting from all actors, they were all excellent, great and very realistic. Even the children were awesome. You could feel pain from their acting. It was very intense and realistic.
EDIT: On episode 28..... (9/10/19)
No wonder it seemed too easy, for Lee Eun Ho to be Red Cry and the end. But still I was tricked and thought it was over. However, Red Cry is actually someone else or a group of people, I don't know.
My new theory is that Red Cry is that physicist that Cha Woo Kyung visits since he had a picture of the lighthouse on his tablet. He also seems eager to discover Cha Woo Kyung's lost memories of before she was 7 years old. I wonder why he wants to know. Also, her lost memories, I think it's something very traumatic for her to have forgotten.
Also, she said her sister looked different. Did they change her sister or something and maybe they changed her because the real one died? Very mysterious.
Anyway, Red Cry is on the move again and now targeted Si Wan, that little boy who purposely fell down the stairs and also pushed another child down the stairs too. Apparently, his mother is running away with her son. We'll see what happens........
EDIT 2: Finished!
I guessed that the physicist is the actual Red Cry, but many other twists appeared. Like he is the long-lost brother of Lee Eun Ho, I did not expect that.
I do not know what to feel for all what happened. On one side, it's the truth that killing those people who abused their families, especially their children, make them happier. This mostly applies to the case of Hana. I really wanted Red Cry to kill him, as he was a devil in disguise with no conscious that what he was doing was wrong. I really hated him.
However, on the other side, it's wrong to kill someone just because we hate him or since he sinned whether murder, theft, etc. This drama really questions your thoughts and morality. Many times I agreed with Red Cry and at the same time my mind disagreed.
Also, for Cha Woo Kyung, I'm glad she did not kill her step-mother. Yes, she does not have to forgive her, I'll probably never would, but it's better like this. Yes, it hurts and makes you feel angry but as she said it's not our right to judge someone, because we are not perfect and we sin constantly.
I loved this drama. It was beautiful and realistic. It mostly explored child abuse and we get to experience of bit of what they traumatic events these children and their families experience. As, at least I can never truly understand the pain and 'hell on earth' they went through.
Also, I loved how it made me try to guess who killed whom, many times I was wrong, but sometimes I did guess. Also, awesome acting from all the cast. Also, a great story. Everything was done for a reason, no parts were draggy and everything got connected.
However, it made me feel empty after all this cases. It's like I'm glad it's over, but at the same time in real life, you think that this will never stop. It's a vicious cycle, where we humans will continue to hurt each other and ourselves in different ways possible.
The story revolved around Cha Woo Kyung. However, I wish they explored more about the detective's life. I only remember that he and his ex-girlfriend were going to have a child and he wasn't happy about it. What happened? Did she lose the baby? Abort it? We don't know and ok maybe his life revolved around work but we barely saw him somewhere else apart from work.
Even the other characters that were part of the team in finding Red Cry we barely or not get many information at all. That's my only complain. The rest I loved it.
I totally did not expect to love this drama. I watched it because I did not know what to watch, randomly selected it and watched it with no expectations at all. Worth a watch :)
currently watching.....and on episode 14 (7 to be exact) (6/10/19)
It's very interesting and engaging story. I love it.
The story feels or looks nothing special or out of this world, with the usual murder cases. But as the story continues, it makes you want to watch and see who is the mastermind of all this. Also, I guessed that the cases where kind of connected. It also very intense and dark.
Also, it keeps you guessing and spins your head as I formulate lots of theories. I love dramas that keep me guessing and on edge.
Ok, stating my theories and sorting my thoughts:
Who is Red Cry? Probably this person is the mastermind.
I thought that Red Cry is Cha Woo Kyung since she has lots of things going on and she does not remember her memory well.
Also, Red Cry's sense of justice or act to help abused children get freed from their parents is kind of similar to how Cha Woo Kyung reacts to abused children and the indifference of their parents. She really is sensitive to these children and acts very strongly about the parents who treat their children badly.
Maybe she has a split personality and she does not know she is Red Cry. But I don't know, maybe I'm getting my thoughts really ahead.
But still, this theory doesn't make sense since she send a message to Red Cry asking him/her if him/her knows her and Red Cry responded that he/she knows her. Or maybe she responded to herself.
But on the other hand, the wife who was abused by her husband and at first claimed her husband's death was suicide and then later claimed it was murder to get the money from the insurance company and is in contact with Red Cry, said that she only told Cha Woo Kyung about her and her daughter being abused by her husband.
So, who is Red Cry? Someone related to the centre where Cha Woo Kyung works?
As the cases up till now, revolved around this centre and are also linked to Cha Woo Kyung in some way + the children involved are all abused.
For the poem thing, I have no idea on that, it's more confusing.
Regarding, Cha Woo Kyung, she has something going on with her step mother since she acted weirdly when she raised her voice at her step mother. Her reaction was like a child who wants her mother's love or wants to be approved by her mother. Cha Woo Kyung really holds her emotions back and then goes to the other extreme end where she explodes and then goes back to holding her emotions. She is kind of confusing.
Moreover, I think the girl she sees who wears a green dress is her. The woman she met to ask her about when they were younger, told her that it's Cha Woo Kyung, herself. But Cha Woo Kyung denied it strongly. I think she was abused as a child by her step mother or something really bad happened and it was such an awful trauma that she forgot about it. A type of defense mechanism.
I don't know, apparently her step mother blames Cha Woo Kyung for her father's death, for her sister's vegetable state and it's also her fault that Cha Woo Kyung's husband cheated on her. Cha Woo Kyung really exploded there.
Also, about the boy that Cha Woo Kyung accidentally killed. It's really weird about how Cha Woo Kyung ended up going all out to find the boy's identity and looking for his parents, when no one looked for him or claimed him as missing. Ok, it's the right thing to do, but let's be realistic, I don't thing anyone would be like her. I don't know what I would do in if I were in her shoes.
Cha Woo Kyung really went through a lot. Like there is something with her mother, her sister's state, her divorce with her husband, she needs to take care of her daughter, she lost her son, her work is demanding, she is not in the right sense of mind, she has hallucinations about a girl with a green dress, she is linked somewhat with the murders of abused children, she accidentally killed a child, she is linked to murder many times, etc. The list is endless. I would be out of my mind if I were her.
Ok, my head is spinning with all these thoughts and trying to guess what is happening, but I love it. Everything happens for a reason in this drama. Very interesting with very important messages. I'll continue watching.......
General thought: It is not bad but not that great either. It is so-so, and I enjoyed many parts, but I did fast forward some scenes I found annoying.
At first I thought it was based on Lupin's daughter, but Lupin was not mentioned at all. I was kind of disappointed. Anyway, I don't know maybe the grandma was actually Lupin's daughter or they are descendants of Lupin as they are called the L clan.
The main actress's acting is kind of fake. I did watch her act before in dramas when she was younger, and her acting did fit in those dramas, or maybe I don't remember or maybe I did not notice her acting. But in this drama, I found her really fake and annoying. However, I liked her when she changed into her costume, at least she was better in fighting bad guys.
For the main couple, their chemistry is zero. For me, they are not in love at all or they are trying to force themselves to love each other. Even Hana's parents are a better couple than they are.
For Hana's childhood friend, he was hilarious + the random singing was weird and out of place but it made me laugh + wow he's really flexible and a really good dancer as well :D Well, the singing was kind of explained, or at least I understood it as Enjoji cheered Hana up when she found out that stealing is a sin and was sad about it. I kind of wish he has a happy ending with someone else. We'll see.
For the rest of the story, it is not bad and I love the L clan family. They have great teamwork and yes they are thieves, but they steal from bad people and help the victims while they are at it. They also help they giving evidence about the bad guys to the police. So they are righteous thieves, similar to Robin Hood.
I'll continue watching it.......
EDIT:
Finished! Dramatic to the end.
I did not expect the kiss scenes between the main couple and despite the lack of chemistry, it was not bad. Also, Wataru finally spoke, he has a nice voice.
Also, Hana's childhood friend singing while fighting or more like dancing, was hilarious to the end :D He really has a great voice :D It was totally random and weird, but I got used to the singing part and really wanted it at the end lol.
Also, the L clan had a plan to the end and 'killed' themselves off lol.
General thoughts:
On the whole, it was not bad. At times, it was hilarious and at times it was draggy and annoying or totally weird and over dramatic but it was ok. It's nice to watch when you need something light and not serious to watch. Or you have no idea what to watch.
I liked it. It was interesting and focused on the issues Japanese employees face in their work.
The most main issue was working after hours. I don't get why they expect you to continue working when like in this case, work hours end at 6pm. I totally agree with Higashiyama Yui who leaves on time.
Ok, I kind of get that you would work for the sake of your family, you want to work hard so that you get fired, work hard to get recognized, work hard to fight loneliness, etc. But you don't have to do it to the point of exhaustion, dying, or sacrificing your family. Family is the most important and you need to spend time with them.
Also, work isn't everything, it's good to have a hobby or something that makes you relax. Having something you love to do or enjoy, motivates you to work and be more efficient and you would have something to look forward to after work. At least that's how I do. I always look forward to watch dramas after my work.
Moreover, the point of work is to have fun while doing it. So what's the point of working, working, working, etc to the point you start to hate it or hurt yourselves mentally and physically. Anyway, you need to balance work and your private life, we've got one life so we need to take care of it. That's what I think.
There were other issues like if a woman takes maternal leave, they will gossip about her or find her annoying because she is disrupting their work. Or because she leaves as her child is sick, etc. Come on, you need to be more understanding!
Also, issues like power harassment, sexual harassment, making mistakes in work, having to go out after hours drinking or eating with your colleagues, the effects of over working, etc were tackled. Although, things won't change any time soon, the fact that they are addressing these issues, hopefully things will start to change for the better.
In general, I enjoyed it. I liked the story, characters and we had some romance as well :) Definitely worth a worth ^_^
Loved it! :D At first I thought the story is nothing special and I actually decided to watch it because I did not know what to watch, however I discovered a hidden gem!
Ok, the story is nothing special as you get to see the everyday life of the Special Event Holder of Team D, both their personal life and their working life. Also, you see the problems they face, some want to quit working, some wanted to give up, some were considering to die, etc.
However, with the appearance of Ataru in their life, she sees through them and gives very positive and awesome life messages :D And she does it in very hilarious and arrogant way :D I loved how she says: 'I understand, I will see through you.' She sits down and says: 'You have three questions. Come on hurry up, we've got work to do!' I laughed at that part each time :D
I loved how Team D became more enthusiastic, more positive, more confident, more certain and truly fell in love with their job :D And the most important of all, gives smiles to their clients (the company event they do) and customers (the public) :D
Also, I loved how they became more close, got to know each other better and work more better. Like Meguro-san said, they became comrades and created miracles together ^_^ Yeah, the personalities in Team D were all weird but in an interesting and awesome way :D I loved them all. It's like they were made to work together ^_^
Also, I mostly loved the last 2 episodes. I kind of predicted that it would focus on Ataru since she had problems as well and of course we have to get to know our main character :) I loved that part when they tried to do fortune telling on her, they kind of fail, but they did their best. It was so adorable and awesome that they did that <3
I felt sad that Ataru left the company, but she is good at fortune telling and is really good at that, so she should continue using her gift to help people :D I loved how she decided to go to another company as a temporary staff worker and use her gift.
The next company she went to clearly needs her help as they looked depressed. This looks as a potential continuation of the story, aka season 2. If they continue it, I would look forward to it :D
Finally finished! It was torture for the main leads to get together and they finally did after the third timeline.
I liked the story in general, it was interesting. Although it got draggy and I did fast forward many scenes, I wanted to see how it ends. I'm glad that all was forgiven.
However, it would have been better of the three timelines were balanced.
Like the first timeline was too rushed from episode 1 to episode 4 and to make it worse they introduced the first episode where Mankaew dies and we like already know what is going to happen. This timeline was really sad, full of hate and pain. I get that Ying Thae will feel hate towards Mankaew, but she should have not poisoned her. And then Than Chai Yai got ill, could not or did not want to get better and died shortly after with a broken heart.
In the second timeline (the longest one) from episode 5 to the middle of episode 19. This timeline is still painful but a bit better. Mankaew got reborn as Rachawadee after 30 years passed. She met Chai Yai who's soul was still on earth and was also bound to the house after Ying Thae cursed him. Rachawadee remember her past life and fell in love with Chai Yai again + she started to investigate what happened in the past. I loved that the main couple met, but I was sad for them since they definitely could not end up together in this life.
Meanwhile, Ying Thae still vengeful, cruel and cold after all these years and got reminded of it when she saw Rachawadee. Also, her nephew Jirayuth fell in love with Rachawadee and Ying Thae of course did not want him to marry Rachawadee. She got Rachawadee in the palace to serve Ying Thae and torture her. Ying Thae was so blind with hatred that she thought her nephew will marry Rachawadee and steal her love again.
However, Ying Thae was successful in marrying her nephew to another woman. Meanwhile, Ying Thae confessed she killed Mankaew by poisoning her and also managed to poison Rachawadee. Then she died and went to hell. Maybe it was hell exactly as she was still bound to earth.
After 3 months passed, Jirayuth and the actress were in a miserable marriage + they had a son. I kind of knew that their son would be Chai Yai reborn (and I was right :D). Anyway, they divorced + she had lots of gambling debts and Jirayuth was on the verge on being broke because of her.
In the third timeline, from the middle of episode 19 to episode 21, another 30 years passed approximately. Chai Yai reborn as Jilakhorm (Jirayuth's son) and Rachawadee reborn as Antra met again. I love this timeline as the leads met again finally :D
For a moment, I thought the leads wouldn't end up together as there were lots of obstacles. Especially when Antra wore that ruby necklace and Ying Thae appeared as a vengeful ghost. She was going to kill her again. Anyway, Antra, Jilakhorm and Jirayuth begged her to forgive and promised to make merit for her. Ying Thae, after 30 years being vengeful when alive + 30 years being vengeful as a soul, she finally forgave them.
A happy ending for the leads :D Yes, they remembered something from their past lives, but they decided to live as their present one. I wish there was more in the third timeline. Anyway,
I liked the story in general, but it got draggy in the second timeline + I wanted Ying Thae to pay for it in jail or something, but she got away with murder while alive. You can say she got to pay for her sins in the afterlife by living in a dark place, bound to it and full of pain.
Although, it's not the best story in the whole, I think it's worth a watch :) Also, it gives great messages, like forgive your enemies, even if they hurt you the most. I would find it difficult to forgive, but as Ying Thae did not forgive, she became full of hatred to the point of killing someone and live her life in pain and misery. It teaches us that if we forgive, we will live happy lives.
I love how that although there are many religions in the world and Buddhism is not my religion, it still gives the same teachings in my religion. I love how we may be different in terms of ethnicity, language, culture, religion, etc but we are still bound together. I'm feeling all philosophical lol, well this drama made me reflect a lot.
Loved it :D I found it similar to Hana Kimi, so that's mostly why I wanted to watch it. But it did sound different so I got curious about it and finally watched it and loved it xD
It was original and refreshing to watch. I was looking for something new to watch and I'm glad I did find this :)
Ok yeah maybe it's not totally original with a girl turning to a boy or it it similar to body swapping, but still I found it different and I never watched any drama like this before.
Also, I loved how they combined a mystical creature, in this case a unicorn that grants wishes = magic with more advanced technology. They like showed a very realistic hologram (that ghost woman was creepy) and the virtual reality was very realistic. It was very interesting, original and awesome ^_^
Also, the acting was great and loved all the cast and characters :D I also loved the friendships ^_^
The couples were cute but some of them were kind of awkward. However, Love (male) and Tangmo were the best couple ever and with the best chemistry! <3 We did get a kiss scene from afar at the end of the drama <3
Although we did not see Love turning back to a girl, I think she did since her first wish was not granted yet. If I remember correctly her wish was to be close or next to the guy or the guy she loves need to love her back. So, at the kiss scene at the end, I think it got granted.
Anyway, it's not a long drama + interesting story + interesting characters = Definitely worth a watch! :D
"However, at the end I would want the second male lead to have a happy ending with someone else."Yes! I Totally…
Yes me too, I hate it when the 2nd male lead doesn't have his own love interest. Like I get the female lead is loved by many people, but she is not the only girl there is, so the 2nd male lead should have his own happy ending and not left heartbroken as you said.
Interesting perspective, I really enjoyed reading it :D
I mostly pity the second male lead in any drama where he falls in love with the main female lead, because he loves someone who does not love him back. And on the other hand, I'm rooting for the leads to end up together.
Yes, I hate those parts where the second male lead imposes his feelings on the female lead while I love those parts where he gives her up, because he knows she does not love him and wants her to be happy.
However, at the end I would want the second male lead to have a happy ending with someone else. Sometimes they would show at the end of dramas where he could fall in love with someone else and sometimes they would show nothing and we have to assume he would one day. Anyway, I mostly feel sorry for the second male lead, but it depends on the story and how his character is.
Also, I agree with many things on the article, but the confession part I do not agree. Everyone has the right to confess. Sometimes the way I see it, it's better to confess, get rejected and move on your life and find someone else.
Even if you know that person definitely does not like you back, and you don't confess, you'll keep wondering what would happened if you confessed and by time regret it. I'm no expert in love but if this applies to drama land, I think it would in reality as well.
Ok, I love the chemistry and kiss scenes of the main leads. I also like the characters.
However, the story is turning draggy and ridiculous! Ok, it started good and has many hilarious moments. It was mostly hilarious when when Qu Tan Er (the real consort from the kindgom) was switched to Qu Xiao Tan (the real estate agent from the modern world).
Also, the plot about the orb is interesting. Moreover, the how and why Xiao Tan (the real estate agent from the modern world) went to the past and why she shared a body with Qu Tan Er (the real consort from the kingdom) is a mystery and interesting. I'm looking forward for this to get revealed. I think she has some kind of powers or something to fight an evil guy since that white hair old guy gave her a flute to harness her powers. He needs her for something for sure.
I also love the moments between the main couple. However, the rest of the story is turning ridiculous and draggy.
Like in this episode, Qu Tan Er / Qu Xiao Tan's step mother or the first wife of secretary Qu (Qu Tan Er's father) tried to assassinate the 8th Prince (main lead). Ok, after lots of digging around and blaming this and that, they found out it's her + she apparently had an affair = she killed herself by banging her head on a column. I'm like 'what the heck did she die!?' And when she bang her head, 1st = it did not look hard and 2nd = some little blood came out! Totally fake and ridiculous!!
Anyway, I have a feeling that it's the usual plot of a Chinese historical drama. The people who want the throne or are jealous or hate someone or want revenge kill each other until they all die or someone reigns in the end. Then it makes me feel empty and I'm like 'what's the point of watching them kill each other'.
Anyway, I'm definitely fast forwarding parts that are not interesting to me......
EDIT: On episode 21....
Ok meanwhile lots of people died like the 2nd princess consort (she died really quickly) of the 8th prince and Qu Tan Er's sister.
Then later died Qu Tan Er, who was killed by the possessed 1st prince and wanted to protect Qu Xiao Tan. Then the 1st prince was killed by the evil person aka Demon King because he couldn't do his bidding. Meanwhile, the orb went into Qu Xiao Tan. We do not know why exactly.
Then, we find out that the 8th Prince dies at age 25. Two years passed and the 8th Prince birthday is approaching + they had a child.
Here's where the story took a 360 degree turn. I'm baffled! The 8th Prince doesn't actually die, they both go to the spirit world. We find out that the 8th Prince is someone who was originally from the spirit world and was put in the human world by the 1st King aka 8th Prince grandfather to save him.
And the 1st King knew about everything that was going to happen and used people like some lab rats to experiment on. What the heck! To make matters worse, for the 8th Prince to live, he needs to remember his past memories and forget his human memories, aka forget Qu Xiao Tan.
I usually love fantasy stuff, but this story turned more ridiculous. I don't know what to think, I hope I end it quickly with fast forwarding.
EDIT: Finished!
The story turned more complicated. Apparently, Qu Xiao Tan of 100 years ago killed the 8th Prince and she was reborn in the human world.
Anyway, Qu Xiao Tan and 8th Prince defeated the Demon King and they both went to her world aka the modern world = the end.

currently watching.......and on episode 23
It was not bad. I loved the part where the female lead gets into a game, that was most interesting :D For the rest of the story, it had hilarious moments, it had crazy moments, it had sad moments, death, etc, but I liked it.
However, the last few episodes turned complicated. Like, she had another identity. And we conclude that she has 3 identities; her real life identity and two other identities in the game, like she was a deity and then as a mortal in the game. Oh yeah, she had another one, apparently she was not the Prime Minister's daughter = wow, complicated.
Also, like one moment, Zhong Wu Mei died and Lin Luo Jing won the game and could go back to her real world. And the game master told her, 'congrats you won, you have found true love with a bad ending.' And I'm like, what the hell just happened!!!
But, Lin Luo Jing decided to stay in the game and use her last life to bring Zhong Wu Mei back to life and stay with him. And when she was going to take the arrow instead Hua Hua decided to offer his life to her again.
I really pity this guy. Like he gave up his body to let her incarnate and after looking for her in the mortal world in 100 years, her found her and protected her. And now he died for her.
Anyway, when I finally thought, that the main leads can finally be together, the King intervened and once again the leads cannot be together. This is all because Zhong Wu Mei is going to become king and needs like the other girl to secure their land and country.
And I'm like what's the point of Lin Luo Jing staying in the game, if she still cannot be with Zhong Wu Mei? Uhh, so frustrating!!!!
This was not a romantic simulation love game at all!!! And like Lin Luo Jing never actually got to choose the one to fall in love with. The game lead her to Zhong Wu Mei at the end and she had to marry him. Like the Persia Prince had to die for her to not marry Zhong Wu Mei.
In my opinion, she never got to choose at all. Anyway, her marriage ended well as she fell in love with Zhong Wu Mei at the end.
No wonder, I got suspicious when the game did not end when Lin Luo Jing found her true love. As after all, she fell in love with Zhong Wu Mei. However, it was because Zhong Wu Mei had to die for her, to really win the game and be considered true love according to the game. Uhh, so frustrating!!!
For the cast, they did a great job :D
For the characters; the female lead was kind of overboard at the beginning but I got used to her, as after all she choose that character in the beginning of the game. I kind of did not like her in the beginning, but she was hilarious many times, kind, was indecisive who to choose, etc. But I started to like her as the story got along.
For the rest of the characters, I liked them. They were fitting for game characters. What I did not like was that all the main men had to like the female lead, but it was the point of the story and the game, so I had to accept that. But I kind of wish, they have their own happy ending though. Well, Hua Hua died for her, maybe the other two will. I kind of doubt it though.
Anyway, the last episode left........
EDIT: Finished! (Watched it in 2 days)
Thank God, it's over, it got too draggy and too dramatic in the end. At least the main leads, we assume anyway, that they got together and stay with each other forever. Zhong Wu Mei chose Lin Luo Jing over the throne, yay!
However, the ending was left open. The way I see it, the story can go two ways; like the story can continue in the game and focuses on the fight for the throne and wars between the countries and for land. Also, hatred and vengeance because the Princess who was supposed to marry Zhong Wu Mei, could not marry him. So, once again we get to see the main leads struggle to be together.
On the other hand, the story can focus on Lin Luo Jing taking the game characters to the real world. This one would be more interesting and hilarious in my opinion.
Anyway, I don't know if they will continue it. If they do, I will see how they will continue the story and then decide to watch it.
Btw, Hua Hua lived, yay! :D I still wished that the other 3 guys who also fell in love with Lin Luo Jing, get their own happy ending. Also, I wanted Lin Luo Jing's lady-in-waiting to end up with Zhong Wu Mei's bodyguard.
Oh yeah, I guessed who the masked guy was. It was the other prince. I would say I'm awesome, but after 10 years of drama watching, aka experience, it's always someone who appears in the drama, but is left in the shadows. So, I knew it was him, because he was the only one left to suspect and like he acted too good to be true.
Also, I forgot to comment that for a drama that was short, the leads had many kiss scenes and they were not bad.
Anyway, the drama was not bad. I think it's worth a watch :)
I also liked the characters, especially the female lead. It's the first time, I see a female lead in a average way. Because we usually see a weak female lead, or a sassy female lead, the extremes ends. This one was in the middle, if I'm explaining well. She is weak at times, shy, clumsy, but also sassy, strong, does the right thing, is honest, etc. She got qualities of both the usual female leads, we usually see, in my opinion.
What made this drama also interesting was that she sees the future. However, it did not always go well or she misunderstands what she sees. It's like sometimes she guesses and sometimes she does not. It was more realistic that way and I enjoyed it. It was hilarious when she got it wrong or misunderstands a situation ^_^
For the story, it ended kind of open. I think they planned for a second season as that's what they wrote at the end of the last episode. But seeing how a year already passed after the airing of this drama, I don't think they will make one any time soon.
Anyway, if they decide to continue it, I will root for a second season, as I want to know what will happen to Yoo Eun Sung and the SOUL team members. Also, does her future-seeing make her forget her memories? I'm kind of curious about that.
Worth a watch :)
On episode 26...... (8/10/19)
This episode is so sad. Lee Eun Ho is actually Red Cry and killed all those people who abused children. I was totally wrong and did not guess at all. I started to suspect it was him like from episode 23, since the Head Director asked him to read poems for him. So I totally did not guess.
This episode explains what exactly happened, how the website started, the murders, what Lee Eun Ho went through as a child, etc. I understand his reasoning why he killed those child abusers. But as Cha Woo Kyung said, it's still murder.
I don't know what to feel exactly. I feel empty, like life can be so ugly and full of pain.
For the rest of the drama, I thought that it would be based on finding Red Cry, but there are still 6 episodes left (3 more exactly). So I think it would focus on Cha Woo Kyung and her past with the girl of the green dress. Her step-mother knows something and is hiding it. But I don't know what or why.
For Cha Woo Kyung's sister, I'm glad she got her consciousness back. I hope she fully recovers and I think there is something about her car accident. Maybe her sister found out something and her step-mother tried to stop her, aka tried to kill her. I don't know, maybe I'm stretching it too far.
I'm really curious about the identity of the little girl with the green dress. Maybe she is her other sister? Maybe she was adopted and Cha Woo Kyung did something to her accidentally and from the shock she forgot?
Or maybe something happened with her birth mother? They did take a photo together. Or maybe Cha Woo Kyung is adopted or is actually part of another family, something bad happened and the currently family she is on took her in?
I don't know, I'll continue the drama.
I'm still finding this drama interesting. Probably at the end and also from some comments I read, I'll end up feeling empty after seeing this drama.
However, the part I loved most and I am sure of, was trying to guess what happened, or who killed whom or who is the actual mastermind. I loved that :)
Also, awesome acting from all actors, they were all excellent, great and very realistic. Even the children were awesome. You could feel pain from their acting. It was very intense and realistic.
EDIT: On episode 28..... (9/10/19)
No wonder it seemed too easy, for Lee Eun Ho to be Red Cry and the end. But still I was tricked and thought it was over. However, Red Cry is actually someone else or a group of people, I don't know.
My new theory is that Red Cry is that physicist that Cha Woo Kyung visits since he had a picture of the lighthouse on his tablet. He also seems eager to discover Cha Woo Kyung's lost memories of before she was 7 years old. I wonder why he wants to know. Also, her lost memories, I think it's something very traumatic for her to have forgotten.
Also, she said her sister looked different. Did they change her sister or something and maybe they changed her because the real one died? Very mysterious.
Anyway, Red Cry is on the move again and now targeted Si Wan, that little boy who purposely fell down the stairs and also pushed another child down the stairs too. Apparently, his mother is running away with her son. We'll see what happens........
EDIT 2: Finished!
I guessed that the physicist is the actual Red Cry, but many other twists appeared. Like he is the long-lost brother of Lee Eun Ho, I did not expect that.
I do not know what to feel for all what happened. On one side, it's the truth that killing those people who abused their families, especially their children, make them happier. This mostly applies to the case of Hana. I really wanted Red Cry to kill him, as he was a devil in disguise with no conscious that what he was doing was wrong. I really hated him.
However, on the other side, it's wrong to kill someone just because we hate him or since he sinned whether murder, theft, etc. This drama really questions your thoughts and morality. Many times I agreed with Red Cry and at the same time my mind disagreed.
Also, for Cha Woo Kyung, I'm glad she did not kill her step-mother. Yes, she does not have to forgive her, I'll probably never would, but it's better like this. Yes, it hurts and makes you feel angry but as she said it's not our right to judge someone, because we are not perfect and we sin constantly.
I loved this drama. It was beautiful and realistic. It mostly explored child abuse and we get to experience of bit of what they traumatic events these children and their families experience. As, at least I can never truly understand the pain and 'hell on earth' they went through.
Also, I loved how it made me try to guess who killed whom, many times I was wrong, but sometimes I did guess. Also, awesome acting from all the cast. Also, a great story. Everything was done for a reason, no parts were draggy and everything got connected.
However, it made me feel empty after all this cases. It's like I'm glad it's over, but at the same time in real life, you think that this will never stop. It's a vicious cycle, where we humans will continue to hurt each other and ourselves in different ways possible.
The story revolved around Cha Woo Kyung. However, I wish they explored more about the detective's life. I only remember that he and his ex-girlfriend were going to have a child and he wasn't happy about it. What happened? Did she lose the baby? Abort it? We don't know and ok maybe his life revolved around work but we barely saw him somewhere else apart from work.
Even the other characters that were part of the team in finding Red Cry we barely or not get many information at all. That's my only complain. The rest I loved it.
I totally did not expect to love this drama. I watched it because I did not know what to watch, randomly selected it and watched it with no expectations at all. Worth a watch :)
currently watching.....and on episode 14 (7 to be exact) (6/10/19)
It's very interesting and engaging story. I love it.
The story feels or looks nothing special or out of this world, with the usual murder cases. But as the story continues, it makes you want to watch and see who is the mastermind of all this. Also, I guessed that the cases where kind of connected. It also very intense and dark.
Also, it keeps you guessing and spins your head as I formulate lots of theories. I love dramas that keep me guessing and on edge.
Ok, stating my theories and sorting my thoughts:
Who is Red Cry? Probably this person is the mastermind.
I thought that Red Cry is Cha Woo Kyung since she has lots of things going on and she does not remember her memory well.
Also, Red Cry's sense of justice or act to help abused children get freed from their parents is kind of similar to how Cha Woo Kyung reacts to abused children and the indifference of their parents. She really is sensitive to these children and acts very strongly about the parents who treat their children badly.
Maybe she has a split personality and she does not know she is Red Cry. But I don't know, maybe I'm getting my thoughts really ahead.
But still, this theory doesn't make sense since she send a message to Red Cry asking him/her if him/her knows her and Red Cry responded that he/she knows her. Or maybe she responded to herself.
But on the other hand, the wife who was abused by her husband and at first claimed her husband's death was suicide and then later claimed it was murder to get the money from the insurance company and is in contact with Red Cry, said that she only told Cha Woo Kyung about her and her daughter being abused by her husband.
So, who is Red Cry? Someone related to the centre where Cha Woo Kyung works?
As the cases up till now, revolved around this centre and are also linked to Cha Woo Kyung in some way + the children involved are all abused.
For the poem thing, I have no idea on that, it's more confusing.
Regarding, Cha Woo Kyung, she has something going on with her step mother since she acted weirdly when she raised her voice at her step mother. Her reaction was like a child who wants her mother's love or wants to be approved by her mother. Cha Woo Kyung really holds her emotions back and then goes to the other extreme end where she explodes and then goes back to holding her emotions. She is kind of confusing.
Moreover, I think the girl she sees who wears a green dress is her. The woman she met to ask her about when they were younger, told her that it's Cha Woo Kyung, herself. But Cha Woo Kyung denied it strongly. I think she was abused as a child by her step mother or something really bad happened and it was such an awful trauma that she forgot about it. A type of defense mechanism.
I don't know, apparently her step mother blames Cha Woo Kyung for her father's death, for her sister's vegetable state and it's also her fault that Cha Woo Kyung's husband cheated on her. Cha Woo Kyung really exploded there.
Also, about the boy that Cha Woo Kyung accidentally killed. It's really weird about how Cha Woo Kyung ended up going all out to find the boy's identity and looking for his parents, when no one looked for him or claimed him as missing. Ok, it's the right thing to do, but let's be realistic, I don't thing anyone would be like her. I don't know what I would do in if I were in her shoes.
Cha Woo Kyung really went through a lot. Like there is something with her mother, her sister's state, her divorce with her husband, she needs to take care of her daughter, she lost her son, her work is demanding, she is not in the right sense of mind, she has hallucinations about a girl with a green dress, she is linked somewhat with the murders of abused children, she accidentally killed a child, she is linked to murder many times, etc. The list is endless. I would be out of my mind if I were her.
Ok, my head is spinning with all these thoughts and trying to guess what is happening, but I love it. Everything happens for a reason in this drama. Very interesting with very important messages. I'll continue watching.......
General thought: It is not bad but not that great either. It is so-so, and I enjoyed many parts, but I did fast forward some scenes I found annoying.
At first I thought it was based on Lupin's daughter, but Lupin was not mentioned at all. I was kind of disappointed. Anyway, I don't know maybe the grandma was actually Lupin's daughter or they are descendants of Lupin as they are called the L clan.
The main actress's acting is kind of fake. I did watch her act before in dramas when she was younger, and her acting did fit in those dramas, or maybe I don't remember or maybe I did not notice her acting. But in this drama, I found her really fake and annoying. However, I liked her when she changed into her costume, at least she was better in fighting bad guys.
For the main couple, their chemistry is zero. For me, they are not in love at all or they are trying to force themselves to love each other. Even Hana's parents are a better couple than they are.
For Hana's childhood friend, he was hilarious + the random singing was weird and out of place but it made me laugh + wow he's really flexible and a really good dancer as well :D Well, the singing was kind of explained, or at least I understood it as Enjoji cheered Hana up when she found out that stealing is a sin and was sad about it. I kind of wish he has a happy ending with someone else. We'll see.
For the rest of the story, it is not bad and I love the L clan family. They have great teamwork and yes they are thieves, but they steal from bad people and help the victims while they are at it. They also help they giving evidence about the bad guys to the police. So they are righteous thieves, similar to Robin Hood.
I'll continue watching it.......
EDIT:
Finished! Dramatic to the end.
I did not expect the kiss scenes between the main couple and despite the lack of chemistry, it was not bad. Also, Wataru finally spoke, he has a nice voice.
Also, Hana's childhood friend singing while fighting or more like dancing, was hilarious to the end :D He really has a great voice :D It was totally random and weird, but I got used to the singing part and really wanted it at the end lol.
Also, the L clan had a plan to the end and 'killed' themselves off lol.
General thoughts:
On the whole, it was not bad. At times, it was hilarious and at times it was draggy and annoying or totally weird and over dramatic but it was ok. It's nice to watch when you need something light and not serious to watch. Or you have no idea what to watch.
The most main issue was working after hours. I don't get why they expect you to continue working when like in this case, work hours end at 6pm. I totally agree with Higashiyama Yui who leaves on time.
Ok, I kind of get that you would work for the sake of your family, you want to work hard so that you get fired, work hard to get recognized, work hard to fight loneliness, etc. But you don't have to do it to the point of exhaustion, dying, or sacrificing your family. Family is the most important and you need to spend time with them.
Also, work isn't everything, it's good to have a hobby or something that makes you relax. Having something you love to do or enjoy, motivates you to work and be more efficient and you would have something to look forward to after work. At least that's how I do. I always look forward to watch dramas after my work.
Moreover, the point of work is to have fun while doing it. So what's the point of working, working, working, etc to the point you start to hate it or hurt yourselves mentally and physically. Anyway, you need to balance work and your private life, we've got one life so we need to take care of it. That's what I think.
There were other issues like if a woman takes maternal leave, they will gossip about her or find her annoying because she is disrupting their work. Or because she leaves as her child is sick, etc. Come on, you need to be more understanding!
Also, issues like power harassment, sexual harassment, making mistakes in work, having to go out after hours drinking or eating with your colleagues, the effects of over working, etc were tackled. Although, things won't change any time soon, the fact that they are addressing these issues, hopefully things will start to change for the better.
In general, I enjoyed it. I liked the story, characters and we had some romance as well :) Definitely worth a worth ^_^
Loved it! :D At first I thought the story is nothing special and I actually decided to watch it because I did not know what to watch, however I discovered a hidden gem!
Ok, the story is nothing special as you get to see the everyday life of the Special Event Holder of Team D, both their personal life and their working life. Also, you see the problems they face, some want to quit working, some wanted to give up, some were considering to die, etc.
However, with the appearance of Ataru in their life, she sees through them and gives very positive and awesome life messages :D And she does it in very hilarious and arrogant way :D I loved how she says: 'I understand, I will see through you.' She sits down and says: 'You have three questions. Come on hurry up, we've got work to do!' I laughed at that part each time :D
I loved how Team D became more enthusiastic, more positive, more confident, more certain and truly fell in love with their job :D And the most important of all, gives smiles to their clients (the company event they do) and customers (the public) :D
Also, I loved how they became more close, got to know each other better and work more better. Like Meguro-san said, they became comrades and created miracles together ^_^ Yeah, the personalities in Team D were all weird but in an interesting and awesome way :D I loved them all. It's like they were made to work together ^_^
Also, I mostly loved the last 2 episodes. I kind of predicted that it would focus on Ataru since she had problems as well and of course we have to get to know our main character :) I loved that part when they tried to do fortune telling on her, they kind of fail, but they did their best. It was so adorable and awesome that they did that <3
I felt sad that Ataru left the company, but she is good at fortune telling and is really good at that, so she should continue using her gift to help people :D I loved how she decided to go to another company as a temporary staff worker and use her gift.
The next company she went to clearly needs her help as they looked depressed. This looks as a potential continuation of the story, aka season 2. If they continue it, I would look forward to it :D
Finally finished! It was torture for the main leads to get together and they finally did after the third timeline.
I liked the story in general, it was interesting. Although it got draggy and I did fast forward many scenes, I wanted to see how it ends. I'm glad that all was forgiven.
However, it would have been better of the three timelines were balanced.
Like the first timeline was too rushed from episode 1 to episode 4 and to make it worse they introduced the first episode where Mankaew dies and we like already know what is going to happen. This timeline was really sad, full of hate and pain. I get that Ying Thae will feel hate towards Mankaew, but she should have not poisoned her. And then Than Chai Yai got ill, could not or did not want to get better and died shortly after with a broken heart.
In the second timeline (the longest one) from episode 5 to the middle of episode 19. This timeline is still painful but a bit better. Mankaew got reborn as Rachawadee after 30 years passed. She met Chai Yai who's soul was still on earth and was also bound to the house after Ying Thae cursed him. Rachawadee remember her past life and fell in love with Chai Yai again + she started to investigate what happened in the past. I loved that the main couple met, but I was sad for them since they definitely could not end up together in this life.
Meanwhile, Ying Thae still vengeful, cruel and cold after all these years and got reminded of it when she saw Rachawadee. Also, her nephew Jirayuth fell in love with Rachawadee and Ying Thae of course did not want him to marry Rachawadee. She got Rachawadee in the palace to serve Ying Thae and torture her. Ying Thae was so blind with hatred that she thought her nephew will marry Rachawadee and steal her love again.
However, Ying Thae was successful in marrying her nephew to another woman. Meanwhile, Ying Thae confessed she killed Mankaew by poisoning her and also managed to poison Rachawadee. Then she died and went to hell. Maybe it was hell exactly as she was still bound to earth.
After 3 months passed, Jirayuth and the actress were in a miserable marriage + they had a son. I kind of knew that their son would be Chai Yai reborn (and I was right :D). Anyway, they divorced + she had lots of gambling debts and Jirayuth was on the verge on being broke because of her.
In the third timeline, from the middle of episode 19 to episode 21, another 30 years passed approximately. Chai Yai reborn as Jilakhorm (Jirayuth's son) and Rachawadee reborn as Antra met again. I love this timeline as the leads met again finally :D
For a moment, I thought the leads wouldn't end up together as there were lots of obstacles. Especially when Antra wore that ruby necklace and Ying Thae appeared as a vengeful ghost. She was going to kill her again. Anyway, Antra, Jilakhorm and Jirayuth begged her to forgive and promised to make merit for her. Ying Thae, after 30 years being vengeful when alive + 30 years being vengeful as a soul, she finally forgave them.
A happy ending for the leads :D Yes, they remembered something from their past lives, but they decided to live as their present one. I wish there was more in the third timeline. Anyway,
I liked the story in general, but it got draggy in the second timeline + I wanted Ying Thae to pay for it in jail or something, but she got away with murder while alive. You can say she got to pay for her sins in the afterlife by living in a dark place, bound to it and full of pain.
Although, it's not the best story in the whole, I think it's worth a watch :) Also, it gives great messages, like forgive your enemies, even if they hurt you the most. I would find it difficult to forgive, but as Ying Thae did not forgive, she became full of hatred to the point of killing someone and live her life in pain and misery. It teaches us that if we forgive, we will live happy lives.
I love how that although there are many religions in the world and Buddhism is not my religion, it still gives the same teachings in my religion. I love how we may be different in terms of ethnicity, language, culture, religion, etc but we are still bound together. I'm feeling all philosophical lol, well this drama made me reflect a lot.
Anyway, I should stop rambling and the end :D
Thanks for the article :)
It was original and refreshing to watch. I was looking for something new to watch and I'm glad I did find this :)
Ok yeah maybe it's not totally original with a girl turning to a boy or it it similar to body swapping, but still I found it different and I never watched any drama like this before.
Also, I loved how they combined a mystical creature, in this case a unicorn that grants wishes = magic with more advanced technology. They like showed a very realistic hologram (that ghost woman was creepy) and the virtual reality was very realistic. It was very interesting, original and awesome ^_^
Also, the acting was great and loved all the cast and characters :D I also loved the friendships ^_^
The couples were cute but some of them were kind of awkward. However, Love (male) and Tangmo were the best couple ever and with the best chemistry! <3 We did get a kiss scene from afar at the end of the drama <3
Although we did not see Love turning back to a girl, I think she did since her first wish was not granted yet. If I remember correctly her wish was to be close or next to the guy or the guy she loves need to love her back. So, at the kiss scene at the end, I think it got granted.
Anyway, it's not a long drama + interesting story + interesting characters = Definitely worth a watch! :D
I mostly pity the second male lead in any drama where he falls in love with the main female lead, because he loves someone who does not love him back. And on the other hand, I'm rooting for the leads to end up together.
Yes, I hate those parts where the second male lead imposes his feelings on the female lead while I love those parts where he gives her up, because he knows she does not love him and wants her to be happy.
However, at the end I would want the second male lead to have a happy ending with someone else. Sometimes they would show at the end of dramas where he could fall in love with someone else and sometimes they would show nothing and we have to assume he would one day. Anyway, I mostly feel sorry for the second male lead, but it depends on the story and how his character is.
Also, I agree with many things on the article, but the confession part I do not agree. Everyone has the right to confess. Sometimes the way I see it, it's better to confess, get rejected and move on your life and find someone else.
Even if you know that person definitely does not like you back, and you don't confess, you'll keep wondering what would happened if you confessed and by time regret it. I'm no expert in love but if this applies to drama land, I think it would in reality as well.
Looking forward to your future articles ^_^
currently on episode 15.....
Ok, I love the chemistry and kiss scenes of the main leads. I also like the characters.
However, the story is turning draggy and ridiculous! Ok, it started good and has many hilarious moments. It was mostly hilarious when when Qu Tan Er (the real consort from the kindgom) was switched to Qu Xiao Tan (the real estate agent from the modern world).
Also, the plot about the orb is interesting. Moreover, the how and why Xiao Tan (the real estate agent from the modern world) went to the past and why she shared a body with Qu Tan Er (the real consort from the kingdom) is a mystery and interesting. I'm looking forward for this to get revealed. I think she has some kind of powers or something to fight an evil guy since that white hair old guy gave her a flute to harness her powers. He needs her for something for sure.
I also love the moments between the main couple. However, the rest of the story is turning ridiculous and draggy.
Like in this episode, Qu Tan Er / Qu Xiao Tan's step mother or the first wife of secretary Qu (Qu Tan Er's father) tried to assassinate the 8th Prince (main lead). Ok, after lots of digging around and blaming this and that, they found out it's her + she apparently had an affair = she killed herself by banging her head on a column. I'm like 'what the heck did she die!?' And when she bang her head, 1st = it did not look hard and 2nd = some little blood came out! Totally fake and ridiculous!!
Anyway, I have a feeling that it's the usual plot of a Chinese historical drama. The people who want the throne or are jealous or hate someone or want revenge kill each other until they all die or someone reigns in the end. Then it makes me feel empty and I'm like 'what's the point of watching them kill each other'.
Anyway, I'm definitely fast forwarding parts that are not interesting to me......
EDIT: On episode 21....
Ok meanwhile lots of people died like the 2nd princess consort (she died really quickly) of the 8th prince and Qu Tan Er's sister.
Then later died Qu Tan Er, who was killed by the possessed 1st prince and wanted to protect Qu Xiao Tan. Then the 1st prince was killed by the evil person aka Demon King because he couldn't do his bidding. Meanwhile, the orb went into Qu Xiao Tan. We do not know why exactly.
Then, we find out that the 8th Prince dies at age 25. Two years passed and the 8th Prince birthday is approaching + they had a child.
Here's where the story took a 360 degree turn. I'm baffled! The 8th Prince doesn't actually die, they both go to the spirit world. We find out that the 8th Prince is someone who was originally from the spirit world and was put in the human world by the 1st King aka 8th Prince grandfather to save him.
And the 1st King knew about everything that was going to happen and used people like some lab rats to experiment on. What the heck! To make matters worse, for the 8th Prince to live, he needs to remember his past memories and forget his human memories, aka forget Qu Xiao Tan.
I usually love fantasy stuff, but this story turned more ridiculous. I don't know what to think, I hope I end it quickly with fast forwarding.
EDIT: Finished!
The story turned more complicated. Apparently, Qu Xiao Tan of 100 years ago killed the 8th Prince and she was reborn in the human world.
Anyway, Qu Xiao Tan and 8th Prince defeated the Demon King and they both went to her world aka the modern world = the end.
