they never did this with a sageuk before, right? xianxia like/CGI
I cannot say I have seen all the SK sageuk so I can only speak compared to my experience. SK drama usually have their own kind of fantasy involving gods, gumihos, nine tailed foxes, goblins, reapers, zombies, witches, vampires...
This kind of goddess fighting god, gods using humans, humans fighting gods, God turning into animal or insect, God in human form, little golden butterfly swimming in the pond and summons fishes to help human with CGI everywhere, that's quite rare for me. I was surprised. Not that is was bad. Just that it was unexpected.
Oh and I almost forgot: peach trees in full blossom which give peaches at the same time...
It expresses his regret that he had to live a life where he was fully dedicated to his duty and he wished he could…
It is in ep15 after advisor Xie dies, he and ShiYi go to the river with the horses. On the trip back, he promises her he will take her to the Yanmen pass next spring. But at the beginning of winter, she has to go to the capital for her wedding. I think he mentions this trip again later when they are in the capital but don't know in which episode any more.
It expresses his regret that he had to live a life where he was fully dedicated to his duty and he wished he could…
Throught the moments they shared, she could have suspected he had feelings for her but she could not be sure. She could not make the difference between the affection of a master and the true love of a man for the woman she is. And she did not want to know. She would have been happy enough just to live next to him in the Royal Mansion.
The eve of her departure from the mansion, she hugged him while she was crying. But he stayed restrained and patted her head like a good master. He always paid atttention not to show his true feelings because of his oath and duty.
This is why it was also easy for her to marry. Not only because it was for her family but also she was resigned to not be able to live with her master. That was her regret. It was not to lose the man who she supposedly knew loved her. If she knew he loved her, I am sure she would have made the young emperor cancel the engagement a second time. She never looked willing to escape the second engagement. She was decided to part and she almost married Liu Zi Xing if not for circumstancial reasons.
It is because she received the blood letter that she knew his feelings, his regret and that she was in his heart until the end. For me, had she not received this letter, she would not have jumped off the gates of the city to be with him.
I am wondering how old the two characters are in this drama. I remember Chugakusei Nikki (2018) in the same genre. It was pretty decent. I am sure they will keep the plot in the limits of the acceptable.
I know it makes sense for the viewers to keep Bai Lu and Allen Ren as the ML and FL from One and Only, but in…
I have not read the book and I don't intend to. For me, the book is the source material for the drama but they are different artworks with their own rules, qualities and flaws...
I am very curious to see if and how they will remember their past life or what kind of connexion will exist between them in the modern time and ShiYi and Zhou Sheng Chen of the ancient time.
The risk with action kdrama is that it is more violent and cliché rather than smart and intelligent. I was disappointed by LUCA, Sisyphus, Rugal, Awaken... I hope this one will be better.
Trailer looks fun. Kim Min Jae was convincing in DYLB but here he looks a bit over reacting... FL is more composed. The lead actress' fame is skyrocketting since IOTNBO. Hope the drama will be good.
how good is the romance in this? is there good chemistry and focus on it?
The romance is surprising because at first it is him who confesses his feelings and why he chose to join the Police University. But soon, it is her who is pursuing him. It is funny and not too serious as the focus is put on the thriller part. The two leads have a good chemistry for me but it is also because of the uniform. They both look great in the uniform.
''I've never let anyone down, but shi yi". What does this even mean? Why does he think he let her down?
It expresses his regret that he had to live a life where he was fully dedicated to his duty and he wished he could have been able to accept her feelings and give her the love and affection he had for her. He failed her as he could not return her love and take her to the north like he promised he would do.
He never confessed his feelings for her. He could not. This is also why she was resigned to marry as part of her filial duty and she had no real problem with it. After she received that message and these last words from him, written in his blood, she understood that he loved her indeed.
This is why when she jumped off the city gate, she could confidently call his name and say she is here to marry him. Or else jumping off would have been an act of delusion from her if she wasn't now sure Zhou Sheng Chen loved her too.
I watched till ep 14 I think. It's good but I'm scared of continuing cos of the ending. I'm okay with tragic endings…
Don't worry. It is tragic but not convoluted, farfetched or unjustified. There is a good reason why it happens. The demise of the ML happens very quickly but for a good reason and it is done in a way which is logical and understandable considering his character.
Why does One and Only and Forever and Ever do not have the same cast except for Bai Lu and Allen Ren? It would…
I don't know how it will be in the drama but I think it is better this way. They are supposed to reincarnate and meet again. This should look like fate. If the whole Nanchen Royal Mansion Family is reincarnated it would not be fate with 1 chance over 1 million.
At first I was thinking maybe the bad guy will be the reincarnation of the Regent who became Emperor. I am glad it is not the case. I hope for a very different and original story.
I’ve finished watching all the episodes and bawling my eyes out. This is the first ever cdrama that makes me…
Zhou Sheng Chen failed as a general. He was outsmarted by the bad guys and he had to take responsibility. This is why he saved the kid emperor and had his generals leave the palace in exchange of his life. I don't think he really cared about how he will be remembered. He just cared to leave one last message.
ShiYi knew her groom is the man who made her master die unjustly and she was too weak to take revenge. But the real reason is that she could not marry that man and she could not escape and see her family be executed because of her.
The fact that this is a 7.6 make me really think so much people believe that love is some sort of Walt Disney…
If you look at the rating's evolution, it is decent and above 8 until the 9th episode. The rating takes a nose dive overnight because of ep10 only. So it is not that people did not understand the realistic tone of drama. It is because something in the last episode was wrong. For me, people took ep1 to ep9 as quite realistic. Things you can see or meet in real life. The 10th one was completely unrealistic and totally in contradiction with the 9 previous eps. This is why the slump.
It was a boring drama with repeating scenes, boring annoying leads, and no story progression. Just them being…
I beg to differ...
Suspicious partner is a very good drama with two leads that are not innocent but mature persons. There are numerous characters around them who are fun and endearing even the "usual bitch". The bad guys'story is well constructed. The drama is an easy watch and an entertaining one with a good thriller part and some hilarious moments.

I respect both of them for their choice.

Just my opinion too :)
