how is this drama connected to love between fairy and devil i'm asking boz i didnt see the other drama
Same author of the novel and the worlds operate somewhat similarly, but otherwise the two shows are not set in the same reality (the God of War is a different person, the Heavenly Emperor is a different person, names of places and clans are different too...)
i watched this drama when it was aired and i didnt understand the hate cNetizens have with the actress... i thought…
This was my first drama with YCY, so I would say that I am unbiased, and I thought she did pretty good in Love You Seven Times! Sure, her crying/desperate scenes could have been better, but she was great otherwise, especially in the "Canghai" flashback episodes. I was surprised at the hate she is getting, it seems undeserved....
Is it more serious or silly? I'm not really in the mood for a goofy xianxia and a couple of clips I've seen are…
Some of the "lives" are more serious/angsty than the others. Also, during the drama, the events of the past get uncovered, which are also heartbreaking. But overall, it's more on the lighter side, with some hilarious and cute moments between the two leads. Maybe skip this drama for now and keep it in mind for a rainy day!
Does this get confusing with the 7 lifetimes, or is it easy to follow?
Do not worry, it is very easy to follow!
Try not to get discouraged by the beginning and what the characters are like in the first episodes (stereotypical naive/clumsy FL and cold ML). There is more to them than meets the eye and they grow and change over time...*I don't want to spoil too much*
For me, I've read the book before and I thought that the drama was really good, albeit different, from the novel. I remember the drama beginning was slow - it picks up around episode 8. Feel free to fast forward the scenes that do not feature the leads in these first episodes.
I will never stop rooting for this drama. It's a rare xianxia with no major misunderstandings between the leads. And no break-up! They never betray each other, they never turn against each other.
The drama had its faults, namely the last portion of the drama suffered from some bad editing and the final showdown with the bad guy could have been more epic. But overall, it's a feel-good, romance-focused xianxia and one of the highlights of 2023 for me.
I am cosidering watching this but I keep reading comments that the ending is unsatisfying, so I want to ask: do the leads (Rowoon and Cho Yi Hyun) end up together and get their HEA?
Last year I watched Tale of the Nine-Tailed, Destined with You, Moon in the Day, The Story of Park's Marriage…
My Roommate is a Gumiho is quite an interesting drama, because I think it does NOT go the usual way the most supernatural dramas go.
For instance, the main leads are NOT lovers from past life, they are not "fated". If I recall correctly, there is little to none animosity between them from the beginning - their lives get entwined by accident, they become roommates, then friends, then lovers. The FL is a mature uni student who doesn't stand for mistunderstandings, so she always clarifies things with the ML, and she can see through his "noble idiocy" acts. I think there is a "supernatural serial killer" subplot - but it gets resolved very quickly before it gets too overdramatic. This show is more of a slice-of-life, a bit fluffy, drama, not the usual heartwretching stuff.
Oh! And the SFL is the ML's platonic best friend and has her own cute romance in the series! <3 (yay for no exhausting second leads!)
I think that "Love You Seven Times" remains underrated.
It was a rare xianxia with essentially no misunderstanding - the leads never ever go against each other or jump to worst conclusions about each other....
It had its faults, mostly the final portion of the drama felt rushed and from the set-up I expected more sophisticated resolution, but I can accept it, it's hardly the first xianxia with slightly underwhelming finale....
This was the first k-drama my mom watched with me from start to finish and we both wholeheartedly enjoyed it.
Vague spoilers ahead: The plot was engaging and well-thought despite being fairly simple, not that mysterious, and the main characters are extremely likeable and have great chemistry. Whatever they do, it's a joy to watch them on the screen! For the viewers, it is no big secret who the characters are in relation to each other, but it's the journey, not the final revelation, what is important. Thanks to the bond she builds with her "co-workers", the FL grows and slowly learns to let go of her resentments and grudges and only then she can see and appreciate what is right in front of her eyes.
The historical flashbacks were on point and short, not repetitive, and the stories of the people the FL helps nicely mirror her own struggles and her journey.
The villain never overshadowed the main trio and never took too much of the screentime. His ploys were also very basic - if you think about it, he never even suceeded in turning the leads against each other. He's annoying - but his subplot never grows too frustrating to watch.
If there was one criticism we had it was that Kang Yeo Rin (SFL) was criminally underused in the later episodes. It was like there was a build up to a great revelation regarding her powers - and how she could turn the tables on the villain - but it never happened in any significant way. I understand that they wanted to keep the focus on the main trio though, so it's not a big deal.
Why are people so offended by this? This is great determination to the role. She should get an award. Christian…
I don't think that anyone should be subjected to this, not even Christian Bale, not Anne Hathaway or Natalie Portman. Why should they endanger their health when CGI, make-up and camera tricks exist? I admire their dedication to their art but their work is not more important than them. Same things go to e.g. male actors who often have to get dehydrated, so their abs are more visible (Chris Hemsworth, Henry Cavill, Hugh Jackman....).
I am not making any judgements regarding PMY's health (thinness or fatness are not necessarily indicators of health) - I do hope that she was careful and responsible and I know that they are only releasing this info to boost up the show's visibility, but it doesn't sit well with me at all.
Yes, I completed it and I really loved it! <3 It had its faults, but I enjoyed FL's character and I aside from like one or two instances in first episodes, I didn't find her hateful or too arogant. Another criticism I've often seen is that she is acting "cutesy" once she and the ML get together.... of course they behave this way, they are traumatized people who never been in serious relationship, so they are enjoying their first love and everything that goes with it. (a bit cringey, but in-character) I also liked that the SML's story didn't end with him being refused by the FL and I liked how his bromance with the ML was actually more prominent in the series. The only bigger criticism I have is the death of Grandma, I felt it was a bit self-serving, to show how the life goes on and sometimes people leave etc. If she hadn't die, would the show overall or the main characters' stories be any different? Why couldn't they let her live? (also, this actress never dies in her rom-coms, so why here???)
I haven't watched this series yet but there is something I am curious about regarding the ending - if anyone who…
I know the ending is happy, but are the ML and FL mortals or immortals? (Or mortals going through a trial - meaning they might ascend to their immortal selves after eventually dying in human world?)
I haven't watched this series yet but there is something I am curious about regarding the ending - if anyone who finished it would be so kind to answer?
After finishing this drama, I can't get in the mood to complete any other drama. Every other drama seems boring…
Definitely watch the variety show with this cast called "As You Wish: Love You Seven Times". It's on iQIYI and I heard on YouTube as well? It's so funny and you can see how the core cast bonded during the filming.
I checked your watchlist and you already watched most of my favorites :).
I would definitely recommend Maiden Holmes since you seem to be missing it on your list :).
It has 4 beautiful young leads who team up and solve cases. The FL is a genius crosdressing female detective who is very serious, cold, honorable and wants to avenge her family, not your typical bubbly lead. The ML (Changheng from LBFaD) is a Prince pretending to be a merchant who wants to uncover conspiracy of his evil uncle. SML is a martial artist himbo who wants to be a folk hero. And the SFL is a tomboy who specializes at poisons. - the leads are actually smart and are usually a step ahead of their enemies - both couples have good chemistry and many cute moments + real kisses - friendship and bromance between all - no obsessive evil girls/men who interfere in the leads' relationship - misunderstandings are quickly solved (and there are not many to begin with) - satisfying ending + last episode is essentially just fanservice

It's light, it's fluffy and it's fun. Enjoy <3
