The White Truck of Doom

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.

yes definitely.

now I'm curious. Haven't watched yet but the irony is if there's no chemistry between the leads but now in real life they're married, lol !

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.

what a walk down memory lane. watched this years ago. :)

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.

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.

when she made him cough up blood, that was great!

all eps up at 4udrama

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.

wow that's awful. I thought this was a light hearted drama but that's terrible!

this drama is unique.
Still, you may like to watch Sound of the Desert.
-- It's a costume/historical but not a harem thing thank heavens.
It's an amazing drama. It's on YT and those other sites.

the actors in this drama - many are quite handsome, so they can carry off even this awful hair-style.

I think you'll know right away if you're going to like it.
So basically it won't waste much of your time trying it. :)

I loved the Empress as well. I really loved this drama and Ying Luo but it's ok that you don't like the drama or Ying Luo. Sometimes it happens.
There 's a few popular dramas that I just couldn't get into. Sometimes it just happens.

the thing I like about it is the female lead does not let anyone push her around.
It was sooo satisfying. This is based on history but it is the female lead's character that makes it great. I would enjoy her type in other dramas, modern or not.
She's smart and knows strategy. She's caring and very loyal..
The rest of the characters are very interesting and all acting is excellent.
The setting is beautiful.

Yoon Gyun Sang was great as Mu Hyul in Six Flying Dragons. His performance was jaw dropping.
thanks to your review I'll give this drama a try. Thanks.
