i don't know why the ratings are so low, on douban (a chinese site/app for reviews and stuff of dramas and movies)…
It's because people tend to rate before finishing, watching or even airing a drama and in this case they either rate so high( like dramas with top idols as MRs) or rate so low. I still haven't watched all subbed but from what I saw it was a decent and well made drama
It actually kinda funny how they got Yukee Chen's love interest from Ashes of Love, Zhou Ting Wei, as a supporting…
Yeah, even funnier is that in Ashes of Love (in what little I saw) it was Yukee who was more invested and bold in her love and although it was requited, Tung Wei was more wary and uncertain. Here the role of the pursuer was reversed and it was unrequited.
I first watched Novelist and honestly I didn't enjoy it very much, they didn't have much chemistry together and there was too many illusions and fantasy in it for my taste. I didn't know it had a prequel about Kido and Kijima, I liked their relarionship and I wanted it to be more and real instead of Kuzumi's imaginations. Then I found this last week and I watched it. It was far better than novelist and very more with a much better constructed story. It still had space for improvement and some parts were annoying, but all in all it's a very good story of a doomed love that never got to be fully bloomed.
This drama definitely made me a chen kun fan, he's spectacular! Since I have the urge to go through his entire…
You may have ssen that he has a vast career with many films and occaitionally tv series. I haven't seen his works from 2018ish onward but I like the ones in his middle cearer the best.The ones I can remember now that are among his bests are Painted skin (2008)( I became a fan with this), Mulan (2009) and Dragon gate (2011) and they are particularly my own favourites. There is Balzac (2003) which is a bit weird but it's worth seeing a very young Chen Kun. I hope if you watch these, you would enjoy them as much as i did.
I watched first episode and it didn't attract me much should I give other aired eps a go before dropping it completely?? Reactions are too good to ignore
The ML look too geeky to be a hero. Also figure the series will be long and draggy with nothing unique. Maybe…
Even worse than ML is dumba** FL. A perfect match really. I agree with you on draggy story. It felt like writers literally had pulled the two ends of plot to make it longer.
