2025 the year of original script
I’ve been putting off my review until now. from what I see from all those who watched the show and primarily has issues with the FL, I could say this show is really not for everyone.
if one not used to cdramas use of tropes, or this is first time into cdrama, the understanding and relatedness to the scenes showed in this drama might be much lower.
this year is really the year of original script, showcase talent of scriptwriters. being other one that enjoyed was filter, ADWAD is definitely up there.
during the course of the drama, I had no issue with the FL, whilst I thought reducing few episodes does make it better, but FL stays rational is understandable. guess those who were frustrated wanted her to see NH for who he is and then fall in love, and then what? the turning point of their relationship is when SYM finally believes in him. and they working together to change their fates. and that’s the end of their relationship, there’s no growth anymore. HEA. imagine them being together in the middle, their chemistry and story will suffer.
why NH keeps suffering when many forgot his manager requested 900 scenes of just him. the real scriptwriter fulfilled that wish. the emperor perhaps represent those people with high position job that doesn’t treat their people like humans and when they did something worth praising, they just switch their tune.
I felt this story is trying to show such people and such does exist irl, relatable in that sense.
it ended with a bang, the last few episodes were the best I’ve seen since MLC.
