Aw. It was adorable. Watched it on a whim. I don't even know why. It's much better than it has to be. This isn't Pride and Prejudice, but sometimes you need a drama that charms you and that's all, like this one.
I think the dramas I've re-watched most often and loved most have compelling bad boys, even bad boys who stay that way, except for being redeemed somewhat by love.
So . . . . disappointing. Almost a literal rip off of the much, much better "The Black Devil and the White Prince", the film manages to copy all the things wrong with the original and lose the things that were charming.
Watched the drama two times. I liked it. It's quite entertaining if you just sit back and take what the show gives you by turning off your analytical brain. Otherwise, you're going to get cranky about the plot holes and deliberate misdirections.. Everything else about the drama is very good.
This show is going to be my 2nd favorite Cdrama of all time, I think. I still have the last 10 episodes to watch, and as we all know, Cdramas are famous for taking a show you've loved with your whole heart for 39 episodes, only to smash you hard in the face in the last episode. My fingers are crossed . . .
As long as the characters involved in the romance are of legal age, I don't have a problem with an age gap (but I do still find much older women with young men squicky, but that's me not having overcome my residual sexism). If one of the leads is still in their teens involved with a much older character, that's a big nope for me.
Every episode I've seen so far (up to the fourth now) makes me want to run out of the room with my hair on fire. And that's why this is an excellent lakorn. Every character is someone I'd like to shoot into the sun. Except for the Nanny. She's alright.
Many, many thanks to the subber of this drama, whom I will not name because of the trolls, but she knows who she is, and she's fabulous.
I just assume that any Chinese drama will have a sad ending unless proven otherwise. I'm guilty of just watching…
Me, too! 95% of the time, I wait until a Cdrama has wrapped up before I'll watch it, just in case I've watched 85 1/2 hours of it, and only to have one of the leads die in the last 30 minutes.
I was definitely going to skip reading this article, because I ain't never going to watch a drama with a SE on purpose, but then it dawned on me that your article could be read as a warning about dramas to avoid. Which, you know, too late, because I've already seen more than half of these dramas and you are absolutely right about them.
Next time, please write an article I find useful BEFORE I watch the drama, okay?
About 17 minutes into the first episode, I was sorry I started watching this now, because this is a Cdrama I want to watch from start to finish all in one gulp, without pausing even long enough to get a sandwich. This is the first Cdrama I've live watched, and if it continues to be as good as the first episodes, it's on track to be the best Cdrama of all time.
Not sure why I just re-watched this, and I probably wrote this the first time, but the FL is just so . . . weepy--she has one expression in this show for 20 hours. Someone yell at me if I forget this again and try to watch this drama for a 3rd time.
What a good article. Thank you so much.
