Surprised by how people are giving this 3/10. Was it really that hard for you to follow? lol
It's what happens when people start a show with pre-formed ideas and expectations about what it should be. When the story line deviates from their expectation, it's no longer good enough to satisfy them. Not saying this applies to everyone who didn’t like the show but it applies to most people. For example, I saw comments of folks expecting the Inventing Anna storyline and being disappointed that it isn't.
This show was a 8.5/10 in my opinion. I really enjoyed it enough to finish in one sitting.
This show was a 8.5 for me! For the ones saying one google search would've shown boudoir was fake and hence the…
Absolutely! It's so ironic that Boudoir is labelled fake by the police simply because its origin is not as prestigious as it claims. In my opinion, a fake is a copy but Boudoir was a brand of its own. I like how it parallel's real life luxury brands and the show highlighted how some so called fakes are exposed due to near perfect craftsmanship. The luxury brand business is full of ironies and I hope the lesson from the show is properly appreciated.
I started watching completely blind without any expectations and I must say, really enjoyed this show. This is one of the few shows lately to be able to hold my attention. All I can say is that the show is art and lives up to its name.
To anyone debating whether to watch, skip the comments, reviews, synopsis and watch for yourself.
Why the male lead did what he did, what his “real intention” was, I genuinely don’t care. Just because he’s…
Omg yes! I was literally thinking this the moment they showed what he did. I don't care for him and I wish for once they don't redeem him and they don't get back together.
Yes same actor but different roles. Zhang San is Xia Hou Dan's original name, before he transmigrated into the…
It was clearly a mistake. He was covering her mouth so she wouldn't scream. I find it weird that she died so fast. Im thinking she may have passed out and empress' goons finished her off but XHD thinks he did it.
I may be the odd ball here but I'm more interested in the leads and the drug case than the murder cases. After the first 2 cases, I haven't really cared for the rest. The leads have too little interaction and screen time together.
Why does he always wear that suit with the red tag on the pocket when meeting her? First at the gallery, the dinner in ep 12 and also ep 15 from the trailers. Their interactions are so weird!
Someone please explain what the Tea Bone is? 😭 It drives me nuts not knowing if I understand what they mean. If it is the innate ability to recognize and understand all aspects of tea, hasn't she proven herself? (regarding the issue brought up in ep 9)
Love the leads but I'm not really liking the damsel in distress direction. She's a badass fighter so I hope he…
Let me clarify because it seems people misunderstood what I meant. “Damsel in distress” may not have been the perfect term to use. What I’m actually saying is I don’t want the drama to fall into that pattern where the ML always appears right in the nick of time to save the FL. E.g. when she was fighting the fiend, Locust, he suddenly showed up at a precarious moment and saved her. Or in episode 9, when she was about to be stabbed and again he arrived at the last second to rescue her.
I never said there was anything wrong with him taking her to the hospital or giving her food or that she shouldn’t receive help from others, and I never claimed that receiving help diminishes what she’s accomplished. So please don’t put words in my mouth.
My point is simply that I don’t like the trope where a FL is in a dangerous situation and the male lead constantly and miraculously shows up to save her. It’s overdone, and although its just happened 2x as of now, I just don’t want this drama to repeat the same pattern. That’s all.
