Knavery

Yeah. It's brutally bad. I'm skipping huge parts. The less foreign places and foreigners in Chinese dramas the better. The writers don't know how to write. The actors they can get are probably off the street friend of a friend and not professional actors... it's just awful from top to bottom. This Age of Legends has one slight improvement - at least the Chinese bad guys are as bad as the non-Chinese ones... but that doesn't stop it being a cringe-fest.

I'm sticking it out for Sandra Ma.

Yeah Shin Hye Sun was the show in my eyes. Without her Jennifer, Yoo Chan and everyone would have gotten on my nerves and the male lead would have been plain old boring.

Thanks. She's talented and beautiful.

It's OK but it felt more contrived than a lot of other historical/fantasy stuff. I'm not a fan of these new endings for Chinese historical/fantasy. Can a happy ending just be a happy ending sometimes? Can a tragedy just be a tragedy sometimes?

The musical numbers were hilariously bad. Could it be any more obvious the actors aren't the ones singing it?

It's an alright show but there's nothing spectacular or even that good about it. It's just one among many of these types of dramas. If you like the genre you'll probably like it. If you like the leads, you'll enjoy the show too.

I guess the drama wanted to stay true to itself and keep it light, short and happy.

Was this billed as a 2 season show in China? The first half and second half were completely different shows. Both halves had problems.

It's alright but it's so messy and the plot crawls along without a strong direction, you go through several episodes where almost nothing changes and then you get 1-2 episodes where they try to force 10 episodes of plot to happen.

Yeah I'm with the "dropped" crowd. I try to power through most dramas but I couldn't get through this one. I didn't like any of the characters. They all sucked.

My expectations weren't high going in and it got to a point where I just wondered "what am I doing watching this when I could be doing something else or watching another show?"

I gave up on it. It's most things I disliked about KDramas. It felt like a soap opera with all the flip-flopping. I got tired and dropped it after completing 10 episodes.

Only 10 episodes so far so it's hard to make sweeping judgments. The main character has a lot of room to grow.

Like the guy from Swordsman and all those remakes in a way but this guy is more of a hothead.

Crystal Zhang is amazing. I'm going to try to find out the name of that other girl I like (the woman travelling with the old man).

I decided to start watching this and I think the one thing I've noticed is Park Min Young has really improved her acting over the years. The cast is really talented overall. The story is very weak though.

I think the guy playing the male lead is a little weak on the acting . The directing and camera choices are probably the biggest problem I have with this show but otherwise it has had a lot of funny moments so far in the first 1/3.

It's lighthearted fun so far.

Didn't the clock flip back and forth with that guy who was threatening people? I would assume the same flipping would happen to the people he threatened.

If that's the case... how are the clocks accurate for anyone who isn't elderly or without any obvious sickness? You could assume it's an accident or a suicide or a murder and one change could well... change things.

The "gift" didn't make much sense. They never explained it. The finale was awful. It's like they decided on a happy ending but had no idea how to get there besides the basic idea "couple should be together to be happy".

I think as some of the reviews have said: it has its moments but overall it's a mess.

I'm not sure if the leads are that good together. They've had a few moments and they weren't disappointing but how does this carry the show for the remaining episodes? I think they're funny quirky characters but another 2 months of episodes? That's insane.

This drama gets some things right. She could barely speak after waking up. She couldn't walk without someone moving her leg muscles for her. She's struggling with the fact she woke up and looks completely different. The world has moved on but she's stuck in 2005.

We'll see. I like her character now but I'm guessing they'll keep throwing problems at her. The uncle, the professional violinist, the lady in yellow, the clients who want to date Woo Jin, the doctor who's obviously interested in her. The foreshadowing looks like a mess of random stuff, hopefully the writers have planned well to tie things in together.

Too messy. The show pointed out problems but there was almost always some perfect solution to the problem... or the problem kind of faded away for tears and success in the case.

She only gets conned once and then she can always figure out who the good guy is and who the bad guy is in every case. She's also uncompromising and stubborn which are pretty bad qualities for a judge.

I'm not really sure what this show was trying to be... was it trying to point out political/judicial corruption? Sexism? Overwork in white collar jobs? The plight of elderly people? There was no central point. It briefly touched on things and moved on quickly without focus or direction. The show seemed to be about her existing which is fine if you really like her as a hero/protagonist.

I liked the soundtrack. The show is not bad, I just thought it was too messy and directionless.

This looks like the interesting one of the series, hopefully it gets subbed.

First episode confused me.

Whoa. Netflix has it.

That is one long list. I think I saw Switch was made into a TV show before? I guess they are making another one in 2018 with better cameras, make-up and special effects?

I'm always down to give body-swap shows a chance because it's easy to make comedy with.

I would say yes.

Everyone in the palace and noble families are fighting for position, power among themselves. Even the emperor gets involved sometimes. There are outsiders from 2 other kingdoms trying to disrupt things.

There's obviously the main couple and romance but I would say she's not motivated by politics yet... (IDK I haven't watched the whole thing).

Yeah it might be a few months. I actually double checked my Japanese dramas and I did watch Yae No Sakura but I can't remember much aside from that early gun fight in the first few episodes. I think that's considered a Taiga so I guess this will be my second.
