Sanoya

Are you slow? She is not independent. She’s under a company under a contract that picks projects for her. Most of these dramas don’t go through audition but were matched base on her previous acting performances in past shows. Quit talking to me you freaking dimwit. You’re talking nonsense as if it’s not clear as day what they’re doing to this lil ass girl. Do you know how C-netizen mainly middle age men/jealous middle age women will prey on this baby if they turn her into a “sex symbol” with all these extremely older men along with the slightly R-rated scripts? (for her age couples with the MLs)

If they truly wanted to protect this child they would’ve started her in lead roles that are age appropriate. Nobody said she couldn’t explore romance genre just not with these scripts and MLs…..she’s far too young. I don’t think people understand how much her little mind will be expose to if they continue like this. They did exactly the same thing to Sulli

You’re such a fuxking weirdo for this comment. She’s 17, a teenager, a child. Committing a crime at any age still makes it a crime, juvenile offenders exist!!! what does that have to do with the industry exploiting a young girl when they’re way better options? Why can’t I call a child a child? It’s funny you mention rape when the topic of conversation here is about the entertainment industry exploiting an underage girl for clicks and attention

This was a cute lil watch. Nothing exciting but it was good nonetheless

I really don’t want to sound like a party pooper but this is a severely overrated show…. Love the leads down but the story was lackluster. To be honest I think they had a whole lot going on with the different aspects of the story and they didn’t maximize on it.

I believe there should’ve been a segment specifically focus on the virtual game in the first few episodes and I mean REALLY focus on the game not just showing us scenes of the ML. Also the backstory of ML father needed way better handling. They added mystery and thriller to the genre and didn’t explore or maximize on it at all. Pei zhen character was wasted as well as Huai Cong and Xiao Rou.

As a stand alone Office Romance without the side stories this is a solid 8.5/10. However I just can’t look past them adding these extra side details/stories and not taking full advantage of it. They claimed Zhi Yu moved away shortly after his father’s death and it showed that he and Pei Zhen were on good terms as kids what made them grew sour against each other? It obviously cannot be only because Pei zhen wanted a win for himself. The gaming system obviously build around some similar events in Zhi Yu life yet we never really get to see the game played out. The Ieads were also suppose to be in architecture and engineering….i ain’t seen much of that taking place. And obviously the romance is the main story I get that they did a good job on that however they didn’t do well with all the other aspects of the storytelling.

And before a ðúmbąßß haeux tell me that they don’t see the issues I’m seeing THAT IS YOU, THIS IS ME. for a drama with a near perfect rating I need a near perfect performance and storytelling🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️…

I’m sorry. These comments are frying WHAT DO YOU MEAN watch for the acting and not for the plot??? Are you people okay upstairs?? Please I implore you….no matter how much you love an actor or actress DO NOT fight yourself to sit through a show with terrible plot. This? Is terrible through and through. They don’t know what the writers didn’t know what to write so I guess they had ChatGPT do the work for them hence we go this slop.

Ya’ll keep supporting these absolute garbage excuse of a show that’s why these directors and writers won’t take a step back to improve their craft. Another thing too I notice it is always the dramas they’re putting on western platforms to ponder. We’re losing the plot and essence of what Chinese cinema should be; instead they’re making shows to meet quota and feed investments. Give it two years from now and we’re gonna lose all the unique factors of Chinese/Korean dramas that made us stayed up until 6:00 am to watch.

I'm only gonna say this once.....we really really need to keep the west away from Asian media. 90% if not more of these recent shows that goes through western fingers; and needed their sign off on it has been nothing but commercial base. The genre says it's suppose to be Comedy and Romance.....WHY THE ABSOLUTE FUK HAVE I NOT SWOON OR LAUGH ONCE??????????

The whole essence of "Kdrama" as we knew it is completely gone, jumbled or simply misplaced. This show had so much potential but the more i watch the more mess it became.

Western input/sign off to these new k-shows are exactly what AI is to the environment to put it simple. It's nothing but money grabs that keeps repeating itself. I'm tired, this is not the kdrama I grew up on.

I missed having to fight off ads telling me Suzy that's three miles away and wants to give me a bl0w-j0b....Now that watching Chinese/Korean has been increasingly accessibly outside of piracy the quality of the shows are now paying for it.

I don't think people understand that the whole reason why the world fell in love with Asian media in the first place is exactly because of his unique essence that Americanized shows just cannot convey.

We're losing the plot; we're losing the war against capitalism. BHADD. You can feel that the writers aren't in control here. instead of freely writing, it's obvious they're trying to force a hot show using identical route as previous shows. the thing is it feels more like they're taking pieces from several different shows of different genres and engulfing it into one.

this show was just a big commercial to put it in simple terms. this could've easily been the next "kill me, heal me" or "it's okay that's love" actually we didn't have to go the mental illness route either. This could've easily been a winter romcom...That's at least what the trailer was giving. I guess not!

You know nothing about me first of all. They marketed the show as if it was a fresh new concept with an absolute Female Monarch yet this is nothing like that. This is nothing but the same scheming and plotting we see in all other shows with everybody at eachother throat for favor or power only this time they’re trying to bring down women instead of men.

It hardly works here since the writing is just messy and they didn’t spend ample time to put more effort into the cases they set to be resolved. Furthermore this show is suppose to be about a female Monarch family of tea merchants right??? Right. That’s all I’m gonna be saying regarding that.

Marketing the show to be a fresh look but still having all the female/sisters being at eachother necks for men and power is literally the same thing we see in palace dramas with the concubines and consorts fighting for favor.

Ofc the show has other factors but since they’ve made this the main plot for the last 17 episodes that’s all I can see and focus on! That’s more than half of the show btw!!!

I’m trying….im really trying but everything about this show is so degrading. Not only for the male characters going at each others neck(we see this all the time with female characters anyway) but with the scheming sisters and how everyone is just abusing eachother including what the female lead keeps doing to the Male lead.

I thought this show would’ve brought a fresh new concept to historical dramas but once again it’s just airheads fighting to gain favor just in different fonts. I don’t know when the roles were reverse it most definitely wasn’t this bad and degrading. Atleast in those show the ML falls for the FL and treats her genuinely unlike in this where the FL is constantly leading on the ML and using him for her own gains….and this f00l is believing all her empty promises. Id!ot

I expected a woman empowering theme but this is far from it. The side stories and them being tea Merchant isn’t interesting enough to keep me intrigued either…..there’s 36 episodes and I’m two episodes short of being half way through the show and I’m gonna be honest…..I have not been watching for the plot; I have genuinely being watching to see how worst the writing gets from this. I just absolutely CANNOT believe Hou Ming and Gulnezer read the script and said “the ho’s finna love this”…..there’s just no way. Basically I’m saying that the story is an empty shell and all the schemes that were resolved/solved; the results were all very lackluster with hardly any real solutions provided. I don’t expect a show to be perfect but bro….i honestly don’t know if I’m watching a drama with big name or one of those “shorts” series I see on Instagram and facebook.

Somebody please tell me it gets better….please

Episode 15-16 were very underwhelming compared to all the other seasons and episodes of those seasons. I do not believe they gave us enough explanation for us to follow along with the case and figure out how exactly they got around to solving the problems that raised. They introduced several new characters without even an ounce of back story to them. Furthermore the reasoning behind why that general wanted to kill off those soldiers was nothing less of lackluster. It’s obvious he’s rotten to the core but for this very reason I think they should’ve given him a proper motive behind his evil deeds. Just like they spent ample time on all the other cases in this season I believe that the military case should’ve been extended the same courtesy; dare I say much more than the other cases too. We needed more insite on the military officer that was backing Kim do-ki as well as what happened after he and the perp fell into the water…. Everybody was badly injured so who saved him? They left way too many plot holes these two episodes. This was my only fault as all other cases were properly paced and detailed.

I genuinely do not know what to rate this drama. It wasn’t bad but at the same time it wasn’t good either it was really underwhelming. The first parts were good then the middle was meh and it peaked towards the end then after they killed all the greater demons I was like….okay let’s pack all this rubbish up!! Cause as soon as it started to peak it went right back down and then the show ended. And this is exactly why I refuse to rate a show base on how much I favor the leads… all in all I think the writers and directors couldn’t come to a decision on what they wanted the objective theme to be. Though a little bit clearer, this was the same problem viewers had with “Feud”

Unpopular popular opinion is the only reason ya'll think this season's case are snoozefest is because 98% of them are base on real life events. yes the first seasons were the same where cares were base on real events but this season? almost every case seen are normal day to day occurrences in Korea especially the fixing of games and the abuse of idols for sexwork. They don't need to have wow factors or necessarily show us the villains being punished. These episodes were meant to be sending a message, it all depends on how you're receiving it.

This mindset alone warrants the police to check your community and hard drive. Nobody said anything about her not deserving lead roles; they’re a variety of genre to choose from excluding romance that she can be the leading lady in none of which requires her to film romantic/adult scenes with a man almost twice her age. Romance isn’t even out of the question as long as it’s age appropriate and it’s with someone in her age group. The industry is preying on this young child’s innocence and you people are letting them when you support and defend such rubbish!!!. Would ya’ll be okay with your 17 year old family member kissing a 28 years old and possible older?

There wasn't much substance in the storytelling but this was stil a very fun watch. the story fell very flat but i think the comedy made up for majority of it.

I love this show down!!! literally rewatching for the third time and it's still 10s all across the board for me.

Just so we’re clear. Ya’ll should be boycotting all her upcoming projects with all these much older men… this is but a 17 year old child and they’re taking advantage of her under the guise of her being talented. She can play lead and support characters that are age appropriate it’s not very hard she’s been doing so since the beginning of her career. What’s waiting 4-5 more years until she’s in her early twenties? Her whole family needs to be investigated and so should all the people who keeps casting her to be paired with these men. I DO NOT care how talented she is. She has always been talented it isn’t new however she’s a child. Stop preying on her innocent mind!

I don’t care how good the shows will be in the future I WILL NOT be watching any of them. And yes I think I’m better than you cause I won’t watch a little girl being exploited by the perverted movie industry just because she needs support and she’s a great actress. SUE ME!

20 episodes out of 38 and it's just filler ep after filler ep. I trusted the comments saying it got better but chile I am not sitting to watch this shiiit any longer. hisses teeth. all of this could've been done in 7- 10 episodes. they wasting my damn time!

Instead of having that idiotic girl waste her time runnng behind a man that don't want her they should've make use of her and pair her with Xia Jing Yan. They would've made the perfect enemies to lovers and I think she would've been able to fix him and his tyrant ways.

unpopular opinion but nothing that happen in Susha after the princess left was Xia Jingshi fault. From the very beginning he made it abundantly clear he never wanted her and even when she kept curry favoring him he kept making his stands clear! She's blaming everybody but the guilty party which is herself! Nobody forced her to steal that token, nobody force her to put a knife to her neck and threatened her brother to let her escape. She did all these things on her own in hopes that Xia Jingshi would see it and fall for her and he never did. She does not deserve to go on a path of a so call revenge when she's only facing the consequences of her own actions! Xia Jingshi is most definitely a evil person and he does not deserve any pity at all; but her getting the eunuch murdered was too much.

NAURR!!!! I said the girl’s a dummy! The second prince would’ve been a much better choice all he would’ve needed is a trustworthy advisor to hound his skills. I’m positive he would’ve made a sage ruler

Suige wouldve made a fine ruler i don’t think he’s arrogant.i just think just like his mother he’s strong willed and refuse to be bind or controlled. I’m sure is father wasn’t like what we saw when he first marry, he later on became consumed by power and controlling and that’s why i think the late empress wanted the choice of being the crown prince and ascending to be totally Suige decision.she first handedly saw how power changed her husband I guess
