I agree. She calls it a hypoglycemic shock, which is not even the same as malnutrition. And then she proceeds…
This is exactly what I was referring to. The whole scene was completely ridiculous. I couldn't take it seriously; I was laughing the whole time. It's one thing for the writers to miss a few details, but to mess up that badly? It felt like I was watching a really awful medical drama. Not to mention, it turned into an episode of Sherlock Holmes. The amusing part is that the king is acting like a detective, yet he falls into the same trap they set for the boy. If you suspect that the herbs in their chamber might be causing the illness, why on earth would you, as a leader to your people, willingly taste something that could be contaminated? Make it make sense.
The drama is hour + which is almost 2hours + combined if the director is good at handling this even if its rushed…
If this were any other drama, I would agree with your points. However, considering the significant Screen Time devoted to slow-paced cooking scenes, followed by lengthy explanations of the dishes ingredients, and the exaggerated, questionable sounds characters make while tasting the food, it gives off similar vibes to J-dramas with its over-the-top acting. I just can't envision how four hours will neatly wrap everything up. I doubt I can rate it higher than a 6, which might seem harsh to some, but there are many dramas tagged with transported to another world, cooking, romance, and politics that, in my opinion, have managed to execute these themes in a much more tasteful way. Furthermore, regarding the number of spoons required for someone to be mobile, it doesn't matter if it's this drama or any other I've seen; every time a character is injured and on the brink of death yet miraculously recovers quickly, I always find it hard to believe. It's one of my pet peeves that I find amusing. Call me a realist, I suppose.
This poor little boy lies on his deathbed, wracked with pain, while the adults around him engage in an utterly absurd argument regarding the safety of the antidote. They squabble over whether the royal chef is even permitted to leave and prepare food that could alleviate his malnutrition, debating who is worthy enough to taste it. Is it really fitting for the king to sample the food? In the meantime, the boy is subjected to an excruciatingly detailed monologue about the supposed richness of the broth they are trying to feed him. Do we honestly have time for such inconsequential discussions? The child is on the brink of death! —where are the priorities here? And as if this ridiculousness wasn't enough, he miraculously recovers after consuming what appears to be just two or three teaspoons. What on earth did I just witness? This scene perfectly encapsulates how a promising drama can begin with so much potential and devolve into a chaotic mess of poor writing. At this juncture, I'm merely watching to see how terribly the final episode will unfold because I can't fathom how they plan to resolve this in just two episodes—there are far too many plot holes. 😭🤦🏻♀️
I feel ya. I woke up mad this morning thinking about him 🤣. I tried to justify his behavior before but I’ve…
This is my first time experiencing his work, and I'm intrigued enough to consider diving into more of his dramas. However, I'm finding it challenging to choose my next watch; it's a tough decision between Time Raiders and Fangs of Fortune.

"I woke up mad this morning thinking about him " Oh no don't do that! 😭 🪦 There are better guys out there who could occupy your mind —*coughs* Liu Sui Feng. This isn’t me justifying all his red flags merely an appreciation for the work of art that is Xu Zhenxuan. 🤣🔥🔥
Oh my God, can someone please just end Yi Ren already! His character is so despicable ; I'm currently on episode 28, and he remains as arrogant and stubborn as ever, completely ignoring the truth around him. It's maddening to see his lack of growth since the first episode, and what drives me even crazier is how those around him refuse to address his flaws and hypocrisy. I often find myself shouting at the screen, especially for Qiu Shui, I can relate to the mental fatigue that comes from listening to Yi Ren. If I were in his position, I would want to shake some sense into my older brother and bring him down from the delusional pedestal he believes he occupies. While I tried to empathize with his challenges as a leader, the chaos following the Xiao family's downfall is largely his own doing. He repeatedly dismisses warnings about his enemies yet continues to play the victim, which is utterly exasperating.
I find myself in a state of confusion, torn between admiration and frustration regarding the direction the writers have taken with Yi Ren; it’s either a stroke of genius or a glaring example of poor writing. His character is infuriatingly stubborn and unyielding. I get that he’s trying to assume a leadership role for his family, but it truly baffles me how he refuses to heed any form of reason. The stark contrast between his perception of right and that of his brothers is incredibly jarring. Sure, it leads to some intense conversations, but at what cost? He seems to make one wrong decision after another. I can’t help but wonder if he’s merely playing the part of a great hero, only to reveal himself as an unexpected anti-hero. His tendency to look down on his brother in terms of critical thinking, physical strength, honorable personality, and his willingness to protect those he loves is perplexing. Qiu Shui always manages to show remarkable patience, accepting his brother's jealousy, mistrust and hostility while knowing he’s done nothing wrong. Yet, Yi Ren consistently belittles him, both in private and in public, never once lashing out or speaking ill of his brother. This is what frustrates me the most; whenever he’s on screen, no one confronts him directly, telling him that he’s being stubborn and that listening is a key trait of a good leader. He embodies such a morally gray character that part of me is in awe of how he is portrayed.
Oh my gosh, Alan and Jeff are absolutely going to steal my heart this season! I can already feel the excitement bubbling up inside me every time they appear on screen; my heart races like crazy because they are just so incredibly adorable together! Honestly, they were the shining stars that kept me glued to season one, and from what I can see, they are going to be the reason I power through season two as well. I mean, I just can't get into the whole alpha dominance vibe of the main couple; I find myself wanting to fast-forward through their scenes just to get back to Alan and Jeff! I miss them so much when they're not around! Their relationship is everything to me, and I’m just praying that the writers don’t ruin it. If they turn toxic, it would absolutely shatter me! Please, please let my beloved duo continue to be supportive, flirty, and just overwhelmingly sweet with each other!
I am convinced that no matter how many episodes there are, Ticket to Heaven is destined to be a masterpiece, as everything P'Aof touches turns to gold <3
Well, this is what I get for having a brain that resembles a goldfish! Here I am, desperately trying to remember which drama featured Night *facepalm* It’s "Ren" from F4 Thailand. LOL!
Seong Ho: Submits with little resistance
