It was the top web drama of the week for last week in China so I don't think it's a flop :) But this is definitively a hit or miss for most people who are here.
I feel like it's a bit late to bring a new villain to the game in episode 32. Zhu Rong was the main bad guy and well, adding someone else just feels like them trying to prolong the episodes.
Hi nice to see you here, Honestly, I don't know if it's only me but I really don't see the chemistry, Plus I noticed…
Hello! As Shen Yue is mostly in modern romcoms, which I almost never watch, I can't really comment on that. From others comments I guess she a mostly typcast in these type of roles. I think they look cute together but does not really feel any sparks yet either. But then again chemistry is different for every watcher I think. I think Chen Zhe Yuan is a bit to cute looking for this role haha. I think he looks very young.
I think this is a good casual watch but I am disappointed Xiao Wudi basically turned into your typical modern romcom guy after 2 episodes. He doesn't feel like he is from a "historical" book at all. Wish they had used this plot a bit more since that makes quite fun comedy.
So ML is not not convincing as a "Mr. Bad". Not formidable or charismatic. No spark of danger or strength. Just…
Well as someone else commented down below Nan Xing created him, and she is apparently not great at making villains. So he is more of a ancient "modern" guy who is a bit shameless. He didn't even kill people in that short intro in her book, so I don't think he was ever meant to be that dangerous.
As the previous said it starts to move faster after episode four. But most of part 1 is slower especially compared…
This is definitively one of those dramas that can be a bit hard to get into right at the start, but they really did craft a good drama I think. Not to everyone's liking ofc but I know there were quite a few that dropped it after 1-2 episodes and at that time they haven't really gotten a time to show you what they've got. I hope you either end up enjoying this or find something else that makes you happy watching.
Okay I started this and watch two episodes and it was boring does it get better? I need dramas that reel me in…
As the previous said it starts to move faster after episode four. But most of part 1 is slower especially compared to part 2 where more action actually happen.
I enjoyed seeing more developed side characters so I did not mind the longer conversations that was had between them.
Another thing I like in this drama is that there are so many different women, we do not just have one or two types but very many women with different personalities.
There will be less screechy women as well, second aunt is not a problem for long, and the grandma gets funnier later when she has less screentime and is not egged on to do stupid things.
I also think that the director is really talented, there are many great shots that I was really impressed with. If you feel up for it I would say at least stick around to episode 8, since the ball gets rolling faster by then.
