Bad is very abstract definition. I didn't like it, that doesn't mean other people can't and shouldn't enjoy it, just my opinion. The worst thing that set me off is FL's obsession with a child, who as you said was a turtle in his past life. I don't know how old are you, when I was like 15 I could easily fall in love with imaginary dragon or a picture on a poster, as you get older and mature naturally, you just can't fall in love with a pet, let alone a child. The worst type of men for me are stupid ones. And stupidly can come in 2 variations - a grown ass man, who is just well stupid, and a child. For example I go to the gym, and most personal trainers there are in their early 20s. They all have hot bodies of able grown up men, they are perfectly adolescent, but as you talk to them, you can see they are sweet and nice and kind, but their trail of thought is that of a child still. It is confirmed by scientific research that your brain is still in development till you're 25. Now that I am saying just because they are a decade younger than me and already it feels like a century of age difference. I can't imagine how childish 20 year olds will seem to me when I'm 60 or 80 or 100. In the movie FL is in the body of a girl, but she kept all her memories and experiences of her 18 lives! She has a brain of 1000 year old more or less. If she fell in love with someone in his 20s, okay, maybe she is a little shallow because after all looks matter, maybe his soul is old as well, but for her to fall for a 9 year old former turtle? I don't say retarded people are not worth loving, but not as a woman loves a man. If she developed a mother-like feelings, maybe. That is very well possible, but not the romantic attraction. This screams some weird kind of pdfilia. You don't have to agree with me, that's just how I see this weird series that reminded me of Nabokov's Lolita in a way. It's a major nono for me.

We need to wait and see.

I think in order to avoid criticism and hatred of the fans it's better to create an inspired by version rather than the source adaptation. You can never make fans happy haha.

I would love another episode where they reincarnated because of their soul binding spell and live their best life happily married, travelling the present day world until they are super very old. And they are meeting each other and living happily in all the other lives and reincarnations. I think I just need to write a fanfic about this.

I don't know how am I going to live with myself after this series is over. This is definitely my favourite series of the year. The nuanced clever dialogues and the intensity of love and hate and all the pallet of emotions is palpable being so brilliantly delivered by actors who did tremendous job in my opinion. Thank you everyone who made the series happen, if there is a novel in English somewhere please tell me, I need to read it because I just can't let the story go.

I think happy ending would be unrealistic all things considered, but they added this soul tieing spell with locks and bloody knife, so it would be amazing to add another episode of them meeting in another life in present day where they could actually get married, travel the world and have a long amazing life together.

In the movie theatre.

Yeah that is exactly what movie is about. I understand that adaptations are very sensitive topics, most of adaptations of my favourite books and games are disappointing, but that doesn't change the fact that this is a very good movie. Also it is made in a way which suggests at least a few more episodes, so I would gladly watch that. Much more entertaining than Marvel for example.

I just watched the movie in the cinema and and am shocked by the negative reviews here and low ratings. I suppose if I have read the original novel, I would probably have something to say, but I did not and I loved the movie! It's very enjoyable and fun. And trust me, I am a terribly picky viewer. So whoever hesitates, give it a try it's awesome.

Well dangerous romance has neither danger nor romance in it, so if you can live with that plus slow nothing, then you will like it.

Totally! And Cheng Yi also sold his snake farm!

I have nothing to tell you, cause I have no sympathy for rats, but I also have none for snakes or people who keep those as pets knowing they would need to feed them something which is still alive 😑

It's okay cause every episode had a disclaimer that all of the snake actors had professional handlers and hence weren't mistreated 🤞

This is very arthouse sort of movie about movie industry with a lot of crazy and sexual violence, but I think it deserves a higher ratings. It needs to be screened in a small private noir cinemas with a glass of wine.

I thought most of them passed away due to mistreatment?

I really loved the series so much I was even sad I postponed watching it. Super enjoyable show! Chemistry is on point, story too, humour is there. Except probably for GL couple - I didn't feel anything between them, but then again I was never into GL so.
The poster and a trailer were kind of misleading, cause I thought that's another clichéd office drama with boss falling for a secretary, and to my surprise it's much more interesting than that.
Oh the things that fire staircase have seen...
Super excited for special episode!

I don't know if you're watching BLs, there is an old mini-series called "Long Time No See" which immediately came to mind. Main leads aren't exactly villains, but not fluffy angels either. It's cute and entertaining.

I loved this series so much! I didn't expect anything, but this is top satire on all of the clichéd tropes in Asian dramas, it's top notch! Female lead is actually a character and not a submissive idiot and even as she ends up with her romantic interest, it's not stupid and illogical, it's a clear autonomous choice she makes. It's so rare to see female character with a brain these days! This is actually someone I can relate to, which is unheard of in Asian dramas.
The shower scene is just iconic!!! 😁😁😁

Really loved the first episode! I am not easily scared one and actually love horror, but a few jumpscare scenes even worked on me, so I hope they continue the good work!
This shaman is so fine I had heart eyes every time he was on screen, even his shadow was hot ☺️❤️🔥

Well isn't it like that with all series? I mean that some things you like more than others, some characters appeal to you more, etc. I loved all of the episodes, I am biased like that ❤️
