this cracked me up... loved the article hope you write more. I thought I was a binge watcher but I think instead that I like to marathon but not necessarily get it all done in 2 days. I just don't like to watch a couple of episodes a week and have to wait for more. So I wait till all eps have aired and been subbed then start the drama.
Is it a spoiler when a review tells us that a character has committed suicide? I usually won't watch a drama when details like that are revealed before I've seen a drama.
I find Yuan Chunwang really good at acting, it was so realistic to the point that people hate him and even threaten…
I could understand him. His life had been so screwed up and here comes the Ying Luo it's like life is pretty good. :( I agree that she shouldn't have suddenly made this drastic change when she knew he was planning on her being in his life forever. That was the one thing she did poorly I thought.
LOL I got to agree when I first watch this, the main lady and the evil maid looked exactly the same. And if you…
about the voices, did they use dubbing? I really liked everyone's voices. They seemed "real'. And the "brother" eunuch, I liked his voice but have seen him in another drama where his voice sounded completely different (and not as pleasant). Do you know?
There could be several reasons. Maybe they have hit a snag with the censor board so they sent the episodes back…
is this a web drama? Did you read that China is now applying same rules to web dramas that it applies to TV dramas? So the censorship rules may be delaying a lot of dramas.
Omg thanks for the heads up! Not watching if it has such a disastrous ending
Perhaps kisskh needs to pin the definition of spoiler to every page. What is obvious to most people may not be obvious to others. Telling the end of a drama is definitely a spoiler. Giving away key plot points is a spoiler. Many of us come to MDL to find out if we WANT to watch a drama, not how it ended.
Male lead is just gorgeous. The actress playing the female lead was also in Martial Universe, in that she played Lin Dong's adopted sister. I've watched 1 episode but I'm a "drama dropper" and not sure I'm going to continue.
Good review. I watched this a while back. I liked this drama a lot. I'm not usually one to watch vampire dramas but liked this one. The only other vampire drama I've finished and enjoyed was the Chinese drama - The Journey.
I saw my first Korean drama on Netflix, too, it was Love In The Moonlight!
isn't it amazing? I had no idea what was coming up, there's all these beautiful golden skinned people in amazing costumes, then comes the martial arts and long historical story. Such a difference from western TV. Much more creative and entertaining.
I thought the first 4 episodes were boring tbh, I was quite impressed with the cinematography though.I started…
Tell me, could I just skip the first 4 eps? I find Ep 1 so boring and trite I can't make myself watch this drama. I'm a fan of the male lead but ugh, it's not enough.
looking at the votes bloody romance isn't going to win but that drama is very underrated and is better than ashes…
agreed. Maybe I've just seen too many dramas and unless the drama is very original like Bloody Romance, then it's just mediocre to me. Even Ashes of Love - which was pretty and entertaining but predictable.
I never detested the female lead so much until this show. The characters was obsessed with a "nice" robots. A…
This is a story about what it is to be human. Or sentient would be a better word. Artificial intelligence is rapidly developing. Will it develop consciousness and have feelings? If it develops feelings, will it have rights or can we turn them into slaves and abuse them even knowing they experience pain? It's about science and about what may come. Is it wrong to love another being if their body was "made" by a scientist, if that being has feelings?
People are already becoming partially augmented with hip replacements, titanium bones, etc. A bionic eye is in the works. Science Fiction has pondered this for decades. Read some Isaac Asimov.
these are all good choices. And look where they are today. Woo Do Hwan stole the show in Save Me. I actually liked him best in this drama. He exhibits such dark moody vibes - perfect for this type of drama. and Seo Kang Joon - I liked him best as lead in Are You Human Too.
Loved it. He made it real.
