TheRetiredGodOfWar

yeah, the first 4 episodes were really good, FL could have done so much with her knowledge of the future, but she ended up being useless. I would have even accepted that her food is magic, and she's changing the "evil" people with her cooking for the better, but nope! just a meaningless illusion once they tasted the food and then nothing.

It would have been much better if she had worked with the King to stop the rebellion and change the "Tyrant"king to a "sage"king because as it stands she changed nothing, and he fucked off to the future with no explanation so he's probably still a "Tyrant" in the history books.

Just finished it:

overall this was a fine watch, nothing out of this world or amazing, just a simple fantasy drama with lots of potential that as usual went unfulfilled.

The beginning episodes were excellent, and I loved the banter between ML and FL, but the more I watched, the more I realized the writer has no idea what he's doing.

a lot of things bothered me in this drama which I'm gonna list them here:

1. the comedy started superbly but after episode 3/4 they either forgot that this was a comedy or just gave up on it.

2. the romance was mediocre at best, there were glimpses of chemistry between the leads, but they went underutilized by the writer, they could have had FL be casual with the king and keep the way she was talking to him at the beginning, that would have not only added to the comedy, but it also would have been a reason why the king falls for her, as it stands he just fell for her our of nowhere.

3. ML as king was also quite disappointing, dude was one of the most neutered kings I've seen in a while, like either have some power or intellect, unfortunately he was lacking in both.

4. there was too much time wasted on the Mings and the cooking in general, it like 80% of the plot, which at first it was quite nice but it got boring fast.

5. the rest of the cast were more of an after-thought.

6. did not enjoy the ending one bit, having the casts look alike in modern times was stupid, and ML suddenly just being there was also stupid. I would have rathered she stayed in the past became the queen and actually changed history and made him a "sage king".

these are all wishful thinking, the plot doesn't develop any of them romantically

there was zero chemistry, the writing also lets it down massively.
friends to lovers is a trope that can work really well, the issue here is that there is zero effort in making the FL fall for ML, all the love is coming from ML, and it actively feels like every time there might be a moment between them, the director cuts it too short and ruins it.
it feels like the director didn't want to make a romance and someone forced them into making one against their will.

then there is also the issue of FL just coming out of a super serious relationship, and she's focused on trying to start a new career, the plot just doesn't lend itself to the romance cuz there is no way you're gonna jump into a super serious relationship right after breaking up with your fiancé, especially when you might not have the time for it when you're developing a new career, a risky relationship at that, with a friend that if not successful could ruin several friendships.

I have no idea what was real or fake🤯

thanks

can you tell me without spoilers if it was a happy ending for the main couple?

same

thanks, that's all I needed to know😘

does it have anything explicit between teacher and student?
it doesn't have a content rating, so I was wondering is it safe to view in the living room?

Yeah, LR is like the recipe for how to do a perfect rom-com, it not only get's better as it goes on, it also does every cliché and trope that might be annoying in other rom-coms so well that they become an amazing part of the drama, losing their annoying aspects.

It's just so stupid, at the time it was running on air there were other drama's fans that didn't like the fact that LR had a higher rating than that other drama that was also on the ir (I'm not gonna say which drama cuz I don't want the headache),and that's why they kept trying to review-bomb it with lower ratings.

that's why when you actually read their reviews, you can see how stupid they are or how their arguments don't make any sense, like the top review here on LR's front page that has a 2/10; it has a problem with how farfetched it is for an idol to fall for a fan and calls it delusional.

are we watching a documentary? are we glimpsing into someone's life like in The Truman Show?
since when is a fictional piece of entertainment supposed to be super real and close to our everyday lives?
these people behave as if they have no idea what the meaning of fiction or fantasy is.
not to mention, idols do in fact fall in love with ordinary people and some of them might even be fans. sure! it's rare, but it happens.

just this simple example is proof enough to show you how moronic these people are.

Yeah and it's not like they were that close before ML showed up, their families weren't friendly either, so SML just yelling and lecturing her was way out of line, someone should have yelled at him for being a useless police officer.

then after all that SML still had the audacity to lecture and threaten ML.

SML was quite an annoying character overall and the actor didn't really have a funny bone in his body so it made his scenes even more annoying, guess there is a reason why he never took off as an actor.

It's like they had enough for a 2-hour movie and had to stretch it for 12 episodes.

OMG! you'll only recommend a rom-com to rom-com fans? 🤨how dare a rom-com be just a rom-com?😏 who could have seen that coming?🙄

thank you😘😘

I don't think it will, a lot of people will forget what the plot of season 1 was in 5 years, on top of that it'll generate less new viewers cuz it's a second season.

look at house of the dragon season 2, it had a 20%drop, and it only took them 2 years to make the second season.
