I don't see it on the coming soon list but this happened a while ago. I really hope it's not cancelled or caught up in some sort of Chinese government censorship hell.
The instrumental part of the OST is still the most amazing I have listened to in literally any drama. It does such a great job of setting the mood and complimenting the actors. Concept is an amazing one but execution is poor. But despite the poor execution by the writing & directing teams... this drama put Kim Hye Yoon as one of the best young actresses in Korea as far as I'm concerned.
I didn't realize it was 4 minute episodes. The Viki cut is decent but the episode timer here explains why sometimes scene to scene things felt a bit jarring.
I liked the leads and in particular the female lead. I hope they get more roles.
Story is weak. Performances aren't particularly strong. The female lead has this cute look going for her and if she works I think she'll be a good actor. The male lead was stone faced, boring but maybe that's what he was told to be.
It's okay but if you find it boring it doesn't get much better.
The first lets say ~12 episodes the female lead is pretty brutal towards the male lead and despite this the male lead makes it hard to be sympathetic for him.
But if you can manage past that slog you'll get to a better place where they trust and rely on each other. They have some surprisingly mature conversations. Their friends tip them off if the female lead or male lead is struggling or needs reassurance.
The drama isn't super strong by any means and those first 12 episodes are rough. But once you move past that it's decent.
I see below and had read she signed with an agency and might be looking to break back into the acting scene. I hope she does stuff. Loved her in Marriage, Not Dating
I feel like the cast did good enough they should get more roles. The only one who was a bit suspect was the male lead but his role is essentially shy-guy who isn't overly emotional so it's not like the actor had much to work with.
Yes, the main focus and story of the show is on romance and there will be kisses though I forget how many and…
I would say within the first 40 minutes you realize who is destined to be together and who has feelings for who.
There is plenty of romance beyond that. The first ~60 minutes is a lot of angst between one of the pairings but you can tell they care about each other and then the last ~120 minutes or however long it is the leads have kissing and g-rated sex scene here or there.
There is jealousy and stuff - remember they swap faces and only they know while others suspect.
Yes, the main focus and story of the show is on romance and there will be kisses though I forget how many and between who. If you want ~2-3 hours of romance with an ancient Chinese costume drama you can't go wrong with this.
The nonromance plot is essentially the swapped identities as you can read from the synopsis.
