I have watched the first four episodes. The plot and the characters are intriguing, except for Grand Princess, who irritates me. She looks young, in her twenties.I can't believe that Yue Li Na is fifty-one years old. The Emperor is quirky looking. They must have cast him on purpose. I don't recall a drama emperor looking like him. His profile photo makes him look good looking.
I love the two male leads and their female companions. I enjoyed Season 1. I skipped Season 2, but I will have to watch it after I finish Season 3.
I am trying to figure out who is the actor playing Birdman? Is he, Zhou Lu La {Golden Peaches of Kangguo} Wu Wen Bin (Ep. 3-5)? Birdman looks very creepy. and ghoulish. He's actually outacting everyone, as of episode 4.
Amazing to watch an entire C-drama in eleven days. Of course, if they had released two episodes daily, we would have watched the drama in less time. The momentum stretched out with only one episode daily.
The ending was lowkey, unromantic, matter-of-fact. I was surprised that Yu Yu and Gu Ye Jia knew how to kiss. They seemed shy and reserved. The ending suited their personalities and temperament. LOL That might been the longest conversation they had. I was bothered why Ye Jia always had her hair pinned up in the same hairstyle in every scene. I smiled when she let her hair down. She looked younger.
Yu Yu's alcove had too many plants. It made the room dark and small. How did the plants thrive in the dark room? He really should be living in a house with a garden, not an apartment. In the future, he will build his dream house for Yu Jia and him, and he will have a bountiful garden.
Xia Xiao Man crushing on Yu Yu was too long. I can see the attraction to Yu Yu, who is a very handsome older man. His random acts of kindness were predictable, but might be misconstrued by the recipient. The final episode could have been laid out better. The BBQ kiss plot was cute, but he chickened out, and left Ye Jia cold. That is not typical behavior, even if they were not on a romantic dinner date. He could have returned to the table, and made up some excuse, not to kiss Ye Jia. The landing outside his apartment must be for his private use, to put all the raw meats and foods on the table. I wouldn't eat that meat, btw.
EP 15: I was surprised to see Xia Xiao Man strolling through the park at night without a care. She wasn't even walking Dao. By coincidence, Yu Yu was in the vicinity to rescue her. The ex-boyfriend looked a lot older than Xia. I loved the scene with Yu Yu and Dao. Yu Yu was talking directly to Dao. They have bonded as buddies. I can't wait for the final episode.
I wasn't impressed with New Guy Mr Tea. The director should have hired someone better looking, even if it was…
His personality was tepid, like warm tea. The scene where he was planning to serve thirty plus cups of tea to Gu was so in character. She would have been running to the restroom every ten minutes.
Because they make more money by having the last few episodes on Express so people pay $5.99 to watch them. I detest…
Me, too! It will give me something to watch every day. I just watched episode 14, but it feels like the story is dragging to the finish line. The momentum is dropping, waiting for the conclusion.
We need a conversation between Yu Yu and Dao. In Episode 13, Dao appeared in one short scene at Yu Yu's door. I don't know why they are only posting one episode daily. They could have done two episodes daily and ended the drama today.
Just re-watching it for the 3775468755th time. My very first kdrama ❤️
I watched it about twenty times. I bought the DVD cheap in Chinatown. It was the Chinese DVD release, and it had almost perfect English subs, and the audio was excellent quality. Even my Mom watched the drama a few times. It was my second K-drama. My first K-drama was Damo.
