unfortunately, I do think this show would have been much better if the premise was that everyone was attracted to all genders and the contestant knew that from the start. I think it would have been much more interesting to watch. Also a lot of the challenges were made for the hetero couples. They definitely could have made games where it wasn't about strength but would still be fun to watch. These games were just very singles inferno aka. trying to be sensual, although it was clear that e.g. Kong was not even slightly attracted to the women, so pairing him with women just defeated the producer's point of the game. Might as well have made them build a sandcastle or play tag or something.
I'm sorry but the traditional kdrama clichés just don't work as well in 12-episode format. Most of the dramatic plotlines felt ridiculous because it was just too fast-paced. It was different when you had 16 episodes to flesh out characters. I didn't feel anything with the parents' case coming to light because it was ridiculously obvious who the main villain was. And I normally don't mind semi-obvious or even very obvious villains if the rest of the drama is at least somewhat unique or engaging, this just wasn't any of that. 8/10, wouldn't rewatch but would recommend for my mom if she is bored.
I LOVE THIS but also going insane daily after finishing the episodes and wondering what's gonna happen tomorrow btw can anyone explain to me why they are deciding to raise the netherbeasts? I really didn't understand or I missed something. Like I get the villain shouldn't have that army but is having them inside one's body the only other way ??
Are you sure you're posting this under the correct drama? Because majority of the people here love and are praising…
Majority of the people here are probably positive comments because all the nedative opinionated ones dropped this many episodes ago 🤷♀️ But in all seriousness, I also did start my comment by clearing up that I watched 30 episodes in a few hours so obviously I didn’t really watch the whole thing so my opinion isn't the most valid lol
Theres no way you watched this! Just writing words for funsies
I mean i did say that I skipped through 30 episodes in a few hours so you aren't wrong. I couldn’t be bothered to watch this drama without skipping 🤷♀️ Also yes, i did write for funsies lol
skipped through 30 episodes in a few hours and my brain hurts I'm glad I didn't invest more time on this because wow what a mess this is I was truly intrigued in the beginning because the whole knife thing they had going on was very kink coded and I was expecting a passionate main couple, only for them to be very boring and tame... Personally, I hate being misled with kinky tension for minimum payoff, but of well, it's a cdrama. The rest is painful to even watch ngl. Did the writers have a stroke or did they just put stuff on a random generator and decided to do every plotline at least twice? Like there are only so many times that I wanna see a character have amnesia or almost die and then be miraculously saved. The sister drives me crazy, I get she is young but oh god how dumb can you possibly be? One thing to marry someone who doesn't love you, but another to go to this kingdom with 0 knowledge and leave your entire family when NO ONE asked you to do that?? I'm surprised how positive the ratings are, so far this drama is really not that good. Sure the leads are attractive, but the chemistry is nothing to write home about. Fl being a badass truly did make me want to watch this in the first place but even that loses its charm pretty fast. It's not like there hasn't been a lot of other better dramas where the fl is a fighter. IMO I wouldn't invest 30+ hours of your life on this.
I was hooked in the beginning, but very soon started skipping like 80% imo this was a bit boring and a little too unrealistic to my taste. It feels like half of the plotlines weren't explored to their full potential because I truly forgot at some point why the fl even hated her parents. I understand that she was neglected, but I find it hard to believe that she went no contact to the point of changing her name, and the parents still got a redemption arc.... Also the Haochen parent plotline and the sister's ex. And imo the fl bounced back way too fast after resigning. It felt like she struggled for two seconds and suddenly she had a majorly successful business.
this week's episode was so fun :'DDD I definitely didn't cry so hard that I couldn't see my screen .... and I'm definitely not still crying .... .... see y'all next week
absolutely loving this so far might cry out of pure happiness, I haven't been this excited for a cdrama in a while (and I genuinely haven't been able to sit through any cdramas lately without skipping like 90% )
Was hoping to spend a good time with this drama while being sick but the first episode was boring. I'm not sure if I'm just not getting the vibe but I think they're trying to be funny, but not a single scene was funny so far.
My biggest issue with this is the lack of budget. This could actually be incredible if they had the runtime to flesh out the world and the lore behind vampires. If I ignore the obvious shortcomings, I'd say that this is very enjoyable. Both leads are insanely goodlooking and the chemistry is there for sure.
lmao I kinda vibe with them not bothering to explain the fantasy part at all. Like honestly, if you're gonna leave it a plothole, be cheeky about it because it totally worked here. Cute and entertaining from start to finish. 9/10
upgraded the cinematography to deliver one of the horniest nc scenes ever and I respect them for that ngl, like that was enjoyable to watch. This whole series was like soft p*rn without plot but damn this was the biggest guilty pleasure of this year
The chemistry was unmatched. Like one of the best pairs I've ever seen, but unfortunately the plot was not that engaging. Like I would rate this 10/10 if it were just for the main couple, but the plot was more like a 6/10. I feel like nothing much happened, I guess that can also be good if you want a really nice drama just to relax and shut your brain off.
I need to make sure I'm home with popcorn ready 😆

I didn't know anything about this drama before watching so I think I should have lowered my standards in advance
