So no promo/sudden drop for RB and now no promo/sudden drop for LTD. Sigh.

I feel like I’m literally chasing a dream with this drama. TT will it ever get released????

Wow just wow. This drama checked all the boxes for me and then some. One of the best ones I’ve watched yet. In my eyes Jing boran and sun qian became their characters completely and of course their chemistry was of the charts. If there’s one thing I hope the success of this drama brings into the drama community is that first and foremost we want actors that can ACT. The high chemistry between them and their chemistry with their characters should always be a top priority, instead of who can draw more traffic and views. And also if it’s a romance they should be willing to touch and kiss each other properly (all within reason and boundaries ofc)

Yes there is. I mean she likes the 2 ml in the beginning but as she gets to know the ML she realizes she loves him. It takes a minute to get there though. They both love her but the 2ml backs off gracefully.

Sadly I watched this after pursuit of jade so it did not hit that hard because, not only was Zhang Linghe the 2ml, but his character was so nice, cute and righteous it hurt. Also, I had already watch my journey to you so I definitely watched these dramas in the WRONG order. Because I genuinely believed I would’ve loved this so much more had I seen it first but alas I didn’t so while it was a cute watch my heart was not into it.

When I decided to watch this I read some comments saying this had a sad open ending. So I thought whatever I can delulu my way out of the sad ending. I just finished it and was it sad? sure. Open? Absolutely NOT. 1. The 2ml explicitly tells them that he couldn’t find a cure. Nobody knew how to neutralize the poison. 2. Yan ziying was already losing vision which we all knew meant he was close to dying. 3. She was wearing his ring at the competition and was downcast. So you do the math! To me it was as closed as any. There’s no way I could delude myself into thinking he didn’t die. They just spared us the moment of his death. I feel she kept traveling instead of staying in one place because traveling was her original dream(freedom) yes but also she kept her promise of seeing the world only that she had to do it without him. She had to live 40 years without him and most of the people who help her get there. I’m so sad.

Yeah he shot this less than a week after going through major surgery to get his broken clavicle fixed so the only way he could keep his body in shape was through dieting. He’ll be slimmer than usual here

So they just changed the name…Royal Betrothal does sound better than the empire as betrothal. Since it seems it’s not being released today I hope this gets proper promo. Chen Zheyuan didn’t shoot this drama days after a major surgery for nothing TT

I will NOT tolerate this Liu yuning slander. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CANT TELL THEM APART??? His beautiful eyes deserve better than this!!

Hold on a minute I’m on episode 2 and…HOW is this enemies to LOVERS???? They’re at each other’s literal THROATS (that bite OMG). I wish you could see my face rn I’m going INSANE!!!

I’m not a cdrama watcher but I was sick in bed with no strength to do much more than watch tv. I couldn’t even focus enough to think about what to watch and then I remembered a tt about this and said whatever it’s just to pass the time…BIG MISTAKE. For the next week they were all I could think about. Changyu is just such an especial female lead. Strong and intelligent yet kind and sweet, and don’t get me started on Yan Zheng! But also the entire cast was pure gold and the director was pulling multiple money shots in one single episode I was left in awe of the production. I was so obsessed they made my heart ache. The Marquis of Wu’an may have left me but I’ll never be hable to leave him behind TT

Believe me when I tell you I’m not big into comedy specially a superhero comedy so I was on the fence about watching it. But I’ve never laughed so much watching a kdrama. And yes the first episode might be a little tricky but trust me it gets better SO much better. Eunwoo gets a lot of grief for his acting but he’s improved so much! I was pleasantly surprised by him. The chemistry between him and Eunbin was very high too. The entire cast did an outstanding job with perfect chemistry. Definitely one of the highest highlights of Kdrama 2026 for me. I don’t think Netflix is really going to do a 2nd season (they don’t have the best track record with 2nd seasons even after teasing it) but there’s still a lot they could do with it so I will say a prayer because it was really that good. Anyways this drama has it all: drama, angst, action, comedy, love, found family. You won’t regret watching it.

This drama is a mixed bag for me. The romance was romancing but the characters, the world and the story they wanted to tell required more episodes to be told properly. Like there’re so many ways you can add a fire/explosion before it gets ridiculous. I will not blame the writers too much though their hands were constricted by the amount of episodes they had. And here’s where Im side eyeing Disney and MBC. You had a great, big names cast with incredible visuals and you couldn’t properly commit to the production? The visuals of a modern day monarchy in sk were stunning I wish to se more of this kind of dramas…but given current events it will be a long while before anyone dares again. Sigh

I was getting tired with the back and forth because bestie why are you making a fool of yourself like that and doing all that for a man that’s running hot n cold and can’t make up his mind. But after the ending of ep 7 I’d rather they go back to that stupid tug of war than whatever nonsense is coming next TT

I kept getting a sense of deja vu watching this and then I found out this is the same scriptwriter that did From now on Showtime! and it all made sense TT. The chemistry between the leads is superior here but the ending in FNOS while maybe a little bland was definitely better than whatever this ending was.

This drama is my guilty pleasure!! I love the main couple and the kids so much that I rewatch this entirely at least once a year (last year I watched it twice). Do I skip Sara’s parts? Mostly. Do I enjoy the sweetness of the main couple and the kids? ABSOLUTELY! I also lowkey enjoy the relationship between his sister and her brother! Everybody else can fall off a cliff for all I care! Except Lawyer Ko and the lady secretary who came to replace Sara. Dan Dan’s father is number one on that fall list btw I hate him (doesn’t help that the actor is royally BAD!). But the chemistry between the two main characters is just way too good for me to not like it. They ARE frustrating though but even that I enjoy. It’s a love hate relationship. I’m currently on my yearly rewatch and it still hits just as hard.

I feel like they were so close to perfection with this drama. The whole cast did an outstanding job, the direction, the fighting scenes, the sets, the cinematography and the ost. Everything was so good…and then you have the story. Sure it was not necessarily bad but there were so many convenient plot resolutions, rushed parts and some things that were not quite delved into. This drama was so rich with so many main players it could’ve done better with at least your regular 16 episodes. People who like fast paced dramas will like this but to me this story had much more to bite so it’s kinda sad it was cut like that. But truly what a beautiful and outstanding work.

Is this makjang???? Because there’s no other reason I had to watch a CHILD get run over TWICE?!? That was brutal TT

This drama left me absolutely GUTTED. I cried every episode and it only got worst as the story progressed . Really if you tend to cry while watching series be ready to be run dry by the end of it. The story is too good. The acting superb. Everybody deserves an (several) award(s) from this. Actors, director, writer everyone gets a 100000% class note. You can tell this story was crafted with love and patience and that they were sure and true to what they wanted to do. It’s so good watching a series with intention and a story instead of just a money grab. This one will stay with me for a long time because this is obviously a once in a lifetime drama.

Im on ep 2 and Girlie I get that you want to make your hubby hot and bothered for you but you’re literallly taking pics in *reads notes* -lingerie!!!!!- with a phone from an organization that just tried -and might actually try again- to get YOU KILLED IJBOL
