This series is pretty upbeat. It is also light and funny. There is something interesting happening every episode so you really won’t get bored. There are antics, plots and humor left and right and then a tug of emotion. Sadly I have developed a severe case of second lead syndrome and I’m having a hard time enjoying the show because of what I believe will most like happen. I have no idea what the writers were thinking. They gave me so much screen time to the second lead that you feel that he is the main lead. The level of interaction and communication between the second male lead and the main female lead is so funny and entertaining to watch that you will absolutely have a hard time disliking him even though he schemes. They gave the second male lead a character who is not only smart and humorous but also a good fighter but also with a hidden tender side. Then there’s the real male lead who was originally portrayed as a uncaring cold individual but also as masked caring person. Nothing about his behaviors made sense to me.
Friendly warning: Don’t get to attached male leads, the outcome can only go one way.
The female lead does a great job and her acting appears so natural that I’m quite certain it’s her true personality.
The character relationships between the main lead seemed excessively rushed and unnatural based on screen time as well as the era. If you watch you’ll see what I mean. For her character to have such morals she umm.... without thought to era or customs/traditions. That to me was weird.
Oh yeah, not sure if there was a true plot. After 30 eps I officially stated rushing through stupid convos of non main leads.
I will warn you that you’ll get a bad case of the second lead syndrome. Our second lead appears to get more screen time than the supposed lead and its interesting that his chemistry is better than the lead as well. Although he has a side that is a bit wicked, the banter between them is amazing.

What can I say? The series is definitely the genre that I enjoy the most however this series in particular was just OK. I want to say that the series itself was unique and somewhat interesting however there were some characters that were extremely annoying. Sadly, it was the FL whom the series is focused on. Overall plot: The series revolves around a female lead. She is most certainly part of a big plot. Unfortunately at the beginning of the plat she loses her memory and forgets all about it. This is where the story begins. I love that it revolves around intelligence. The schemes weren’t simple. The were orchestrated in a way that you knew required planning and smart moves. That alone make it enjoyable. I think our ML was most definitely the star here and really carried the show. Although some of the scenes went deep into fantasy, it was good.
The overall concept was interesting however the FL character was frustrating. Explain further I really do enjoy a wide genre films but I absolutely dislike any film or series that has a character who comes off is snobby, immature and ungrateful. And this is exactly what the female lead was. She was cute but her character wasn’t. From episode 1 to 15, the male lead saves her over and over again and she disregards him and treats him like a villain/bad guy. Not to mention she loses her memory and can’t remember anyone but she does this. Imagine You rescue someone 4 times and each time they turn their nose up at you and folds their arms ( this was her for 15 episodes).
After episode 15, it gets much better.although we still running into some of the old habits.
There were so many loopholes and utterly unrealistic things you just cringe but you keep watching because you hope it gets better. This goes on until the end. There is also a series titled the prince of landing. I only assumed that it was the effort to link the two however there is no connection between the two and to be honest the prince of lan ling is absolutely better than this one. If you get a chance watch it.
Is it romantic? Nope
Do we get a smooth sailing couple? Nope
Is it funny? Yes, but it wasn’t on purpose.
Is it a good pace? Absolutely
Rewatch: Not completely, maybe if you’re really bored.
Do I recommend it? Not as a romantic piece.
Did I fast forward: many many times.
Is it worth it? Yes because there are good moments.

Sad
The series was interesting. It started out a really nice pace. The interaction between our leads was enough to pull you in. It was upbeat and had a bit of intrigue and comedy to. You will also see some mystery. For the most part both leads have some hidden secrets and etc but that doesn’t take away from the overall plot.The series is one that I would place in a romantic comedy/ mystery/drama. While there were many comical aspects it really seems to take a more serious turn near the end. It switched back and forth and for me it ended in sadness. I don’t know I’d I believe in “bitter sweet.”
You’ll get your manipulative cast member, the loyal member and the misunderstood one as well. Overall I enjoyed watching it until it got to the last few episodes. It was not pleasant. The ending was not happy for me although some may say different. Because of this I could not rate it higher. Be warned spoiler below:
*************
After all of the struggle to get to a loving understanding, things fell apart and our female lead essentially falls into a coma in the end. Aka eternal sleep, leaving our male lead gloomy. For a romantic comedy, this wasn’t funny too me.

I stuck it out because their characters were good but on several occasions I honestly did not feel entertained. It got a bit boring. Their love kept me invested. 58 episodes is a bit much for no twist, climax or event. I had nothing to hope for watching this series. You know how you like a character and you hope for something good for them or you dislike one and hope for justice, I had no feelings for anyone. The script gave me no expectation, nothing to desire or hope for. It was like over hearing someones uninteresting conversation from another table. I’ve watched many series and this one by far has to be the most boring I’ve ever watched and also the one that displays exceptional communication between a couple, but that communication just wasn’t enough to make up for the nearly emotionless faces throughout.
And don’t get me started on chemistry and emotions, I think it was absent during the filming. I didn’t understand it before work but I do now. The lack of chemistry between characters can be the difference between a good and a bad show. Great chemistry makes it more believable and heartfelt but without chemistry it almost seems like they’re reading a script off of paper and that’s what this felt like it felt like. So in short this feel like a very long script that was being read that would have given the same impact if it was read over the phone because the body language and chemistry with absent. It was kind of weird actually. I don’t know if that change my perception of the series as a whole but I can say that it played a big part. The story wasn’t awful but that too was long and unexciting. I encourage any potential viewer to watch 2 random episodes. Doing this will allow you to see the tone of the series. It’s like this all the way through. And I might add that I think that the synopsis for this is wrong as well. I believe that it indicated some sort of tragedy and twist but aside from the tragedy there was no complication, no twist no trial of any kind. But I am on episode 43 of 48, a plot could happen.????????♀️

Don’t do it!
Do not watch this. This has to be one of the most saddest things that I have ever watched. I really thought that it was about a husband and wife that lost their spark, but it was so much more than that which makes it even sadder. This was more, about one person settling for someone they’re comfortable with while not truly having a real physical connection to them. The synopsis makes it seem like the spark left, but what we actually see is a lack of genuine interest in the person because the relationship was one of comfort or shall I say logic rather than real connection or desire.I will admit one person has the feelings but the other one didn’t. As a woman and human, I feel disheartened and completely sad how they ended it.
Spoilers below
this woman was married to the man who had no actual desire, physically to be with her. He was with her because he was comfortable with her not because he was attracted to her. Although she was physically attracted to him. He actually cheats on her too 🙄. Throughout the series, we watch her grow closer to someone else who does really have an interest in her. She discovers that her husband does not like her in that way and finally decide to leave. She then proceeds to get a divorce, but decided not to develop the other relationship with a person that really had an interest in her. Later she instead goes back with her ex, who honestly wasn’t attracted to her. I’m assuming she went back out of comfort. Also, things like this may happen in real life. No one actually want to see anything like this actually happened. It’s just one of those things that is not really enjoyable to watch. It’s not like a break up or make up. This lady literally went back to a person who had no intimate feelings for her. She was physically and emotionally lonely for so long but because she loves him she goes back. Why? I have no idea, and I don’t care, and I regret watching it . That was so sad, so I absolutely can not recommend this to anybody. What was the point?

I honestly really liked it. I felt that this series was different from so many other family dramas that I’ve seen. Was it this series a part for me was most certainly the land but not only that it was the topics that was covered here. A deviated from the normal family drama in the sense that this one was not about to fight for money and power this one was the real uncut drama that occurs in so many families but you never really see it on TV. To elaborate this series shows how individuals within a family unit often misunderstand each other, How they distance from cells from their love ones and why Comer their hopes for a better life and ultimately the love that they have for their family despite the misunderstandings and hardship.
The ending were well done although I love the happily ever after and everything tied with a bow. I didn’t get that but I got an ending they gave closer and hope for the future. It’s definitely worth a watch.

Loved it.
Great fantasy/historical series. The ML totally shined in this series. The acting was amazing, Yes, he was amazing.I had been waiting for a good one and I totally found it. This is a captivating one. You’ll grow to love the characters even the ones you think you’d dislike. There was action, drama, romance and a little humor. The chemistry was very present between the leads, even before the things progressed. You could sense it. The ML did an amazing job keeping me captivated. He totally lead all the way. His wits, dominance and communication were strong and enjoyable. The FL was great as usual.she was smart as well. Her character did frustrate me a bit in the beginning but she pulled through. Although we have all seen a somewhat similar storyline, I have yet to see one that was this rail, well written, and had so much passion behind the cast. I love the consistency amongst the characters in this drama, and I also love how their character grew and we had the opportunity to see that through their actions and their communication, and let’s not forget the emotions that they portrayed through all of those things.
I love how the story revolved around a redo of events, they didn’t attempt to delude us with major character shifts, however they did show us the change in how our FL chose to interact with others and how that impacted the outcome. It also revealed things that were previously misunderstood. It really brought back to the forefront of how we often perceive things a certain way, but they may not be what actually true. If you are looking for a great historical fantasy fiction, you will absolutely love this one.
Chemistry was onsite everyday. Action didn’t miss a step and the love boat was definitely afloat.
I loved the ending as well. It was hilarious, sweet and cute.

First of all I am a huge fan of the ML. He is an amazing actor and he is able to portray any character flawlessly. He seriously was acting within his acting in the series. The man is amazing.
What I liked: Overall I think that everyone did an amazing job in the series. The acting from every cast member was awesome. With that being said there were a few things that I did not like. There was some serious platinum and scheming and the secrecy of it all made things a lot better. I love the intelligence of the ML and the genuineness of the FL. Everything really feel authentic.
What I disliked: The revenge seem very general. And although the plot was for the NL to get revenge it was never targeted towards making the individuals pay for the initial eval that they did. I also dislike the fact that he repay kindness with evil. For me it just made him just as evil as they were although he didn’t take a life. He used a good person who saved him more than once and broke them. In addition to that I just felt like the conclusion should’ve been different. I felt like people that actually suffered didn’t deserve it. Long story short he his attempt to make one or two people pay caused damage to people who were kind. No apology. Yeah yeah I know collateral damage but it was just too much. Also the ending was somewhere open ended and really gratifying for all the intensity and heartache.

I really thought I would like this but I didn’t. Acting was okay but the story was just terrible. First of all it’s normal to be attracted to an attractive person but when you realize the status such as age and position (student) you should back up.I understand they’re real ages are quite close but the portrayal (character) is not.
There is nothing cute about a teacher/ intern dating her student. To make matters worse we are given a mature, loving and kind 2ML and what does the FL do? Dates/ falls for her student instead. Just noooo.

OMG, Flawless Acting and Series
It took a minute to express my feel lints about this series. What can I say, but “I loved it.” The acting, plot, scenery. Everything was great. The character development, the plot buildup and the ending were amazing.The series revolves around a male, with a somewhat unclear past at least initially anyway and the female lead who enters his life and makes such a significant impact on him. This series head so many heartfelt moments and I don’t mean the cliché tight I mean genuine heartfelt moments where you really wanted to reach out and give the characters a hug and squeeze. I mean those type of heartfelt moments. The tears of each cast member seem so genuine. I am not surprised because watching it you may want to cry along with it as well. But that didn’t deter me from watching it, although they were many heartfelt moments within the series they were absolutely even more action packed moments in mystery moments that leave you on the edge of your seat wondering what in the world is going to happen next. You really couldn’t tell. It was top notch.
The two leads were superb. I am a big fan of the male lead and I have to tell you he does not disappoint. His expressions, his tears, even his quirks were flawless.
Even the music was good.
