so when I first started watching this drama I was puzzled by your review. The drama was not just beautiful, it was smartly written. Then.... I got to around ep 50 and I could see what you meant. The drama started falling apart. Maybe before then. I stopped liking Feng Zhi Wei so much. I really disliked her attitude towards Helian Zheng. If you marry someone, for whatever reason, don't be a jerk about it constantly rubbing in his face you don't love him.. A king no less. She really devolved into a sniveling self centered whiner at this point. And she went from being really smart into someone who was manipulated by people only half as smart as she had been. I was so disappointed. At ep 69, it really turned into a mess. Was the writer suiciding the show? This drama could have been really great, but it self-destructed towards the end.
I think Viki is good enough for at least one more year as they have a partnership with Kocowa (Viki Pass Plus),…
prime has some but it's unpredictable about them posting eps with subs. It is piecemeal and slow. They just have a few titles, but some interesting Cdramas.
how 'healthy" is Viki? It was a big surprise that DramaFever went down, what if a person subscribes to Viki and suddenly they go boom? I don't want to pay for 1 yr at Viki and boom.
I love your articles about "My unpopular ... opinions." Why? Because many of my opinions on dramas are not popular. I like the content in your article and why you felt that way. It makes me feel a little better and reminds me that we all have different views.
Enjoyed every bit of the article. I like how you introduce the drama. The drama is fun, and honestly just looking at Choi Jin Hyuk is a pleasure. Whoever is in charge of wardrobe is great. The leads' clothing is very appealing. Like seeing a tall man dressed so well.
thanks for link. I went there and this may sound dumb but I can't find a way to play the videos. There's screen shots for each episode that indicate a vimeo link but nothing happens when I click on them. The other option is to download from File Factory and if you don't pay for an acct it can take hours and hours to download a single ep, Can you tell me how to easily view the videos at that link? Sorry for the trouble.
I wish they would tone it down with the twins' over-the-top brattiness. That is pretty much the only minus of…
the twins seem to be just cardboard cutout characters or "plot devices". They don't seem to have real personalities, just "parts". I think the writer was lazy.
Gross. A grown 31 year old woman having an "affair"? with a 15 year old. for the record that is exploitation regardless of who is the older person (male or female) vs the younger (male or female). If that was my son I'd be taking action.
on the upside, this puts new talent in favor. She's not the only high profile Chinese actor being pursued over "tax evasion". Lots of big name actors are under the microscope. So we can see some new fresh faces.
Finished and changed my opinion about the drama. After about ep 30 I started to understand why certain characters were written the way they were. Now I can't wait to see Season 2 and really hope it's on DF.
I've got a spoilerish queston for anyone who has watched Episode 49 and above. It's about Ep 49 only though. See…
So Ep 49 did the headmaster deliberately cause the "outing" of Zhi We's mother and brother? And if you reply, can you mark your reply as a spoiler too?
This episode was so different than all leading up as this is the first episode I've seen "the good guys" do something either really dumb or was it on purpose?
Did the headmaster do this to get Zhi We out of Ning Yi's life? Or did the headmaster just screw things up? Everything he has done up to now was well thought out and deliberate. The writing had been really good too, so what did I miss?

PS I can't believe this is your first article, it's fantastic!
