This was so good I actually wrote a review for it, and I usually don't write them at all, much less for short vertical dramas!😍 Liu Xiao Xu impressed me greatly
The letter says the emperor died and the 6th prince & crown prince followed him in sorrow..That most likely means…
It also wouldn't surprise me if our ML and FL had them assassinated. The did restart the assassin Pavilion, and the two princes (and the emperor) were definitely on the side of injustice.
For everyone saying it’s boring😐 it’s not it’s just a slice of life drama... Some of y’all are absolutely…
I agree! I actually relish cute slice of life dramas like this. It's more realistic, and that's what makes it so magical when the sweet moments happen. Life's joys are often simple like that. It's a great comfort drama, and I'll be adding it to my comfort watchlist along with When I Fly Toward You
Watched Essence/Movie version from Fresh Drama, a little less than 4 hours.
Absolutely love it! It's so simple and cute, very little angst, and the misunderstandings didn't last long. Zhou Junwei was very expressive with his eyes, so adorable! My favorite scene was near the beginning when Cheng Mu took Jiang Sihan back to the shore of the fishing village to recreate the scene of their first meeting. When he mentioned how important smell was to memories, the moment when she smelled the rose he gave her, that moment where everything clicked for her was magical.
Oh okay. I actually kinda liked the graphics, especially the part when Kiyoka burned the Saimori house. But I get it, some parts were a bit excessively CG'ed.
While I loved the leads, I have to say I particularly enjoyed the characters of Mr. Lee/Mountain Spirit and Min Ji Ah/Cho Young. The actors were able to portray their dual personalities so well, as if they really were two different people. I usually don't like angst but I loved how tortured and complex Mr. Lee was. I can't condone his actions, but in a way, I understand and sympathize with him.
My absolute favorite had to be Min Ji Ah/Cho Young. Such an amazing actress!
Speaking of though, I have to say I'm not too keen on the latter half of the drama. The antics were getting ridiculous. If I hadn't binged it all within a few days, I would have dropped it after episode 9. The drama just became SO dramatic! I've only seen the first half of the webtoon before I went to go watch this, so idk if I'll feel different after finishing the webtoon. But it did get pretty draggy to me in the second half. The cute moments were so very good though, props to the leads for that.
I feel so bad for Yul though, i wanted him to have an LI too.
