OOOOOH now it makes so much sense!! And LOL, they ARE siblings, hahaha~ double removed!
Anyway. This ep was peak comedy :D I think I like these kind of eps too, despite the lack of SDJ being hurt ('cause those are the best LOL).
Let's play this game - dial any phone number you want - what are the chances that, if anyone at all answers, it's SDJ at the other end? I was ROFLMAO throughout the episode when they did that :D
Evil Mastermind Yeom ranting: WHAT ARE THESE FOOLS DOING, TAKING PRIVATE REVENGE ON SOMEONE UNIMPORTANT DURING THESE TRYING TIMES, while, at that particular time, being SO MUCH engaged in getting private revenge on someone unimportant during these trying times, LOL. I bet they were all laughing when they did that scene - because helloooo, it's hilarious :D
MORE you hear me, get me MORE :D
ETA Wait, I remember another one that's kind of epic, LOL - "we should die in order of birth, and since you're older... go die first" hahaha~
A bit underwhelmed TBH. So in her first life she grew into a warrior saintess who went all the way into the Imperial…
The more, the merrier :D Be warned I like BL (I see you do, too), makjang (way too much, LOL, come watch Buried Hearts, PHS is looking ah-mah-zing!!), action and generally not-stupid/silly plots and characters (I'm not going to guarantee anything for BH hahaha~). But I do fall for a pretty face once in a while, and that's what kept me here.
I think that Zhi Bai's friends' loyalty was a bit unrealistic. They dedicated their youth (10 years is a lot!)…
They did it partly for him, and also because their own lives had been upended anyway. They all got arrested for drug use and were thrown out of the police academy branded as druggies, there was no coming back from that. So part of it is their own revenge. They were all living in the underworld all this time, with no hope of resurfacing...
The music stopped and I thought - FINALLY! - but then it started again and she continued dying LOL. The Emperor:…
A bit underwhelmed TBH. So in her first life she grew into a warrior saintess who went all the way into the Imperial Palace and did stuff, and now she's relegated to peace-maker by teaching the NanWu people to TRADE?! I mean, they're living in a freaking mountain area, it's clear they're not going to get enough food by planting stuff, but they DO have very precious spices and still they pick to go to war?! Because why?! And if she already knew how to fight, why didn't she really fight at all throughout the story, when it was called for?!
And how come it seemed Yu Jin yearned for Jang Si (when did he not, though) and she could care less?! Yup, romantic as heck.
They did it all to save the freaking useless Emperor. I almost cheered for PR when she went on a killing bend, because finally the Emperor would learn how stupid he had been. And he took pity on her, what the heck?!! USELESS!! She had just killed one of his sons and threatened to kill the rest of the family, she had already done away with the CP, does the freaking useless idiot not care about anyone but her?! No wonder MingYue was so spoiled.
Anyway, at least Baoping survived. He was one ray of sunshine in this story. And Long Dan, but he kind of faded away in the scenery in the final part.
WTH was that long-long-looooong love declaration?! Fuqing got it on one, LOL. But Zhen Heng kept going on, and on, about such romantic stuff nobody cares about - hey, you're a support chara and she's a guest starring, tie the sentence and go away to marry LOL.
Everybody forgot about the Jiang family and I still can't stand the granny. She was stupid throughout and now she's all giggles. Go away.
At least Zhan got his own HEA, LOL, even if it took ChuChu to make him see the light.
Oh well, this one's done. The best part was the one before the wedding, but all the rest was pretty mediocre - minus Zhan's dramatic arc and Zhang WanYi's facial expressions. He made me stay watching long after the story bored me to pieces. I might go back to The Rise of Ning just because of him. And that's all.
The music stopped and I thought - FINALLY! - but then it started again and she continued dying LOL.
The Emperor: Now we're past this, what are your plans for the future? Yu Jin: I'm going to Disneyland!!! (He didn't say that, sadly. It would've been epic.)
...TBH I only now realised Zhen Heng is so long-winded. He went on, and on, and on... and on...
Like, seriously, MDL removed the countdown because there might be an express package today? *sigh*
They're mellowing out again these last eps, sadly. As if the palace play before the wedding was the highlight and they couldn't be bothered with all the rest. The only truly heartfelt delivery was her brother calling Yu Jin out with the "you think I'm afraid of you" line, everything else including the Princess Royal falls flat. Yeah I know, she's a real b!tch, we know, we know, DO something instead of blabbering about it.
There are only 5 more eps. Bro needs to get wed, PR needs to die, the Emperor needs to get his head out of his behind, the NanWu people should decide to do what the hell they intend to do, the Jiang family needs reconciliation etc. There's a lot to unfold and time's wasting.
We all love DongJoo (except for the incels, ignore them). The FL also loves DongJoo (she says). Heo Il-Do also…
TBH, the most play is between the three male leads - and I like it that way (there are no bromance waves of any kind, just a kind of very strange subtle particle motions between SDJ (ML) and HID (one of the main opponents). It feels like the writer really wanted to just write a three-male-focused story, but had to include a FL for the sake of more motivation for the ML.
Don't expect romance (a lot), but expect makjang. Myself, I like makjang and actually missed it a lot, so this hits the perfect spot. It might do it for you too :)
After what FL does nobody wants romance n just waiting forML and his birth msytery to getsolved and hopes he outsmarts…
I think by now everybody lost hope she'll show brain activity, LOL, I called her an oneorangebraincell foil to the ML's alley tomcat ways, and sadly she doesn't get to use the braincell a lot :D
We all love DongJoo (except for the incels, ignore them). The FL also loves DongJoo (she says). Heo Il-Do also…
It's more action than politics (so far). A lot more personal interractions than the usual political chaebol games (they aren't missing, just not the focal point.) I haven't watched Reborn Rich, though, so I can't compare them. In the beginning, it felt a bit like (a much better) The Impossible Heir (married with The Bourne Identity, LOL). Now it's turned into a game of "who else is trying to kill the ML today" and him surviving everything.
.... I think we should volunteer him for some no-return mission, maybe send him to Mars LOL. I bet he'd return alive (in even more glorious hair :D)
The FL IS indeed very pretty and they're absolutely amazing together in the first ep. Then the betrayals start, LOL. Be warned she's prone to making VERY BAD CHOICES (and she makes a lot of them LOL).
I recommend starting it and giving it at least til ep6 (because the ML is gorgeous and we all like that). Be warned there are lots (LOTS!) of cliches, but this is a makjang thriller, so they're to be expected.
Happy watching! (When Friday comes, this place will be buzzing :D)
PS You should watch this for the absolutely awesome soundtrack, too. Just check it out in the discussion topic about the OST!
They signed a prenup. When enough money is involved, they all protect their asse(t)s. She probably got some protection…
Why would it be her husband's fault she wants to divorce? He married her the same way she married him - through a mutual contract, but he happens to also like her. He wants to stay married, while she's having second thoughts because she discovered she actually loves SDJ more than her idea of a revenge (that's going nowhere anyway).
Huicheol doesn't want to end the marriage and it takes two to decide, or it goes through a court. And there are penalties in the prenup and here we are.
He might be not so clean himself, but he was pretty fair to her with the marriage. It was her making the bad decision in the first place (as usual with her, it appears.)
Okay, I'm back because I'm shallow and I need to look at that windswept face of LYR again.
*looking at it*
...Okay, this goes on the PTW list. (In my defense, half of it it's because of the snow falling around them. We're being snowed in RIGHT NOW - dammit, I have to drive in it tomorrow - it's been GLORIOUS! If you don't know how good snow feels... find a northern country in the winter.)
So there's a divorce penalty? I wonder if the penalty depends on who asking for a divorce? Why Eunnam wants to…
They signed a prenup. When enough money is involved, they all protect their asse(t)s. She probably got some protection against him divorcing her out of the blue, too, if her family's lawyers are worth their money.
I think the raw sleeping boat sailed some months ago. By now, if he doesn't come back to her, there won't be a "their" child to talk about and get Huicheol to divorce her. But he doesn't want to, anyway, it seems.
Here checking for the romance update. I know there's romance in the beginning, but what about now? I'll wait until…
She wants him, he loves her (that might move to the past tense, but maybe not). They're electric together. But she - sadly - is still stupid (or at least makes very stupid choices). We're mostly rooting for him to dump her and pick another (but again... this is about True Love, among many other things, he might stay with her. Or in true makjang fashion, they might die together.)
Just for Xin YunLai... What's one more drama to the list *sigh*.
What did they do to Chen DuLing, that woman is gorgeous and here she looks (in ep1) like she's totally washed out. I hope they bring her back to her real powerglow in the next eps.
I hope the concubine isn't a snake in the grass, I love her motherly antics. She should've slapped her son more often when he was a kid, it's a historical drama, she was allowed parental violence with no reproach at the time, LOL.
PS Is it just me or there's a LOT of rebirth dramas lately? (Not that I complain, it's one of my favourite tropes LOL, bring them ALL on! :D)
A prequel, but you likely don’t need to watch princess agents. As I believe the FL forgot her memories of her…
Thank you!
So is this going to continue (as a story) in Princess Agents? (What I'm asking, is there a resolution to the prequel - I know you haven't watched it as it's not released, but maybe there's more info on the novel or something that you might know, here's hoping - so that it wouldn't have to segue into Princess Agents?...)

Basically, this is pure romance. We (characters included) all love DongJoo. You could, too, give him a chance :D
Huicheol doesn't want to end the marriage and it takes two to decide, or it goes through a court. And there are penalties in the prenup and here we are.
He might be not so clean himself, but he was pretty fair to her with the marriage. It was her making the bad decision in the first place (as usual with her, it appears.)

So the jury is still out on this.
What did they do to Chen DuLing, that woman is gorgeous and here she looks (in ep1) like she's totally washed out. I hope they bring her back to her real powerglow in the next eps.
