not sure if i should have read the novel first but so far the main cast is literally bringing the novel to LIFE! the main two ML and FL's expressions are so natural and give me butterflies. i'm loving everything about this drama so far.
the comedy in this is *chefs kiss* PERFECT. it really feels like a webtoon come to life. Plus the leads are so beautiful like how can they be so beautiful?
this is a GREAT article! thank you so much for putting all this together. I literally just finished "Lost Romance" and I've suddenly decided I need to dive into Taiwanese dramas. So your article showed up at the PERFECT time!
not a day goes by without me thinking about this drama... and wondering when they will give us the release date. it's become like part of my daily routine. But at least they feed us with these gorgeous photoshoots... meanwhile I'm just rewatching Love Like White Jade episodes to distract me.
This was actually the second Taiwanese drama that I've tried and I LOVED THIS ONE SO MUCH. I guess I haven't taken enough time to look into all the dramas they offer! Do any of you have any other suggestions for Taiwanese dramas?
The OST and the acting from the main cast was top quality. Even though the story switches back and forth between reality and the novel world, it does finally tie all back together nicely around 2/3 in the drama so just get through the first episode because it does start a little slow as they are building the foundation of the crisis in the real world. It really picks up in the second episode and I was hooked by then. By the time I realized I was in love with the second lead Qingfeng, i was so deeply invested in the story it was way too late to back out. The script was really clever. I highly recommend this drama if not just for the impressive acting from all the cast!
My friend, Do yourself a favor: watch and finish this drama. I haven’t laughed so hard at a costume drama since Zu Rui’s facial expressions in Romance of Tiger and Rose (yeah that wasn’t that long ago but i laughed like that in every single episode of A Girl Like Me). Ahaha. Like what the other comments have said, the Ban family forced me to put this drama down as a treasure to rewatch. They were so loveable and hilarious. The two main leads are so visually beautiful they actually look like they came out of the original novel. And the FL’s confidence and devotion to her family made her shine in my eyes in comparison to any other FL i’ve seen. PLUS LIKE COME ON, have you seen the main female actress lead a whole army as their general so gracefully like Guan Xiaotong did in this drama?? I personally haven’t so it was super refreshing and inspiring to see her rise to that position (literally an official princess to an official general). LIKE COME ON!!!
Fun movie but i will have to watch again because i feel like i missed a lot of storyline because there was so much going on in each scene! And the whole time i kept thinking thank God they all had ear translators and I can’t wait until we reach that technology! ? Also LOL at the Kim Hyanggi cameo I was screaming at the tv ahah
