Just finished rewatching for like the 10th time… I will never get over this drama. My go to KDrama romcom… Bye for now my AURA enveloped Vice Chairman and my very dependable heels strutting secretary, I will be seeing you again in the not so distant future
Did Tang Lian actually die he was one of my favorites he deserves a happy ending with his friends
Well originally he did after the fight with the dark river people, but in the special episode he was alive. So I guess that because of people’s displeasure about his death, they did the special episode.
Just finished my 5th rewatch. Shoutout to the absolutely incredible Song ❤️JoongKi for bringing Vincenzo to life, my corn salad, my consigliere. My girl Jeon Yeo Been, you played Hong Cha Young to perfection and I adore you both. To the epic crazy duo Han Seok and Miss Choi, you were a match made in villain TV heaven and oh how I hated you both but I do give you your flowers cos your psycho crazy was one for the books, your final rewards were so very fitting and satisfying, just keep dancing Miss Choi, “he he he awesome” and keep atoning Han Seok… To my Geumga Plaza family , I enjoyed every single bit of the chaotic mess you all were, I was there for it all. My hopes and dreams of a S2 although while admittedly unlikely to happen will still burn ever so brightly in my heart. This isn’t goodbye because I will be back again but until then, Stai attento #TeamCassanoFamilyForever
You sound so stupid. He is still rich and successful?He is still married and with 2 kids, that he wanted?So please…
You actually thought you said something with this? Lmao Yes he’s work is important to him but it’s not more important than family to him, apparent by the existing wife and kids he always wanted. By the way I never said Harbin did bad but that’s beside the point, trying to defend a comment saying Karma got someone because he got divorced many years ago and moved on is hilariously stupid. Oh by the way, you also wrote a long comment so I guess you are fuming too, see how stupid that sounds. Once again whether the seats are filled or not is going to affect his career (as he has nothing to prove career wise) he is winning in life and there is absolutely nothing any of you can do about it,
You sound so stupid. He is still rich and successful? He is still married and with 2 kids, that he wanted? So please what Karma are you talking about? Harbin is also not doing as well as expected and initially projected, so according to your warped logic, I guess Karma also got Hyun Bin and Lee Dong-Wook, smh Those movies didn’t do good, guess what it’s not the end of any of their careers and they will move on but you irrelevant keyboard warrior pixels on social media will just keep being bitter and fuming. He has the marriage and family he wants and there is absolutely nothing any of you bitter people can do about it. I hope you all keep choking on your bitterness everytime you read about his precious wife and kids
Just finished rewatching for the 3rd time, how is it possible that those 2 deaths still broke my heart even though I know what is coming? Once again 10/10 I highly recommend. PS: Commander Tan & his sexy fingers rolls will always have my heart.
If someone had told me that I would be rewatching this I definitely would have laughed at them but alas I just played ep1 and now I am in ep5, I don’t know if I will end up rewatching everything but I just realized that one of the reasons I didn’t completely fall in love with this drama the first time was the sister, her dumb dazed one facial expression + weak countenance was beyond intolerable for me & it still is now. Oh how did I miss the most ironic thing in this drama, the most boring character in the drama constantly saying boring is actually so funny. Another thing is I didn’t particularly like WY’s acting the first time I watched it but then I read the novel after watching it and lemme tell you Mr Wang Yibo nailed that character to perfection. I loved Xiao Zhan as Wei Wuxian the first time I watched and I still love him now, he was absolute perfection, he made that character sing and come alive. And the villain he really was so unassuming, so it wasn’t far fetched that no one was onto him until Wei Wuxian came back altho those he’s creepy stares/smirk and 360 degree bows should have been a dead giveaway. He’s level of scheming and manipulation was top tier lemme tell you and it pains me dearly to say this but dare I say it rivaled the great Mei ChangSu, The difference being my genius formidable strategist Mei Su used his scheming powers for good while this one used his for evil
I so badly wanted to love this drama. Even with the adult steamy makeout seshs by the leads which I do give them high kudos for because lemme tell you they ate those scenes (pun intended) and left no crumbs, I just didn’t love the drama as I had hoped especially with all the rave reviews and it being literally everywhere, like on social media. I did enjoy the phone calls though especially when he found out she was on the other end, it was IMO the best part of the drama, I wish we got more of that aspect. I obviously won’t be rewatching it but I do recommend for at least a one time watch. Rewatch value 2/10 Overall value 7.5/10
I am 30+mins into this drama and lemme tell you it’s incredibly astonishing how bored out of my mind I am, this has been on my watchlist because of the high ratings and rave reviews, but I can barely keep my eyes open in the short time I have watched so far & I am someone that has watched & rewatched a lot of series. So I’m really confused will the high rating. Well maybe it’s just not might cup of tea. I won’t drop yet, I will put on hold though for now.
I completely and totally enjoyed the first half of the drama, but after ep 18 the drama just went downhill for me, the plot and acting in the drama that started out so strong just went downhill, it was astonishing how bad it got especially in the acting department after ep18. I am not surprised the rating keeps dropping because a drama that could have really been so great was butchered half way in. Overall it was an ok watch but it’s not something I would rewatch. Overall value 7.5/10
It’s so funny how everyone now likes Avenue X cos she has the same opinions as them, in regards to this drama, but God forbid her opinion is different, she is then branded a hater. FYI Idol Stans, not everyone who doesn’t worship your fave idol or don’t like the drama they are in are haters or antis, most times the script and acting just sucks and while I don’t agree with all the reviews of Avenue X but I sure am glad she gives her opinions regardless of the herds of sheep mentality attacks. This drama was not even on my radar and I’m normally a binge watcher (the drama the broke my binge watching streak was The Double, I simply couldn’t wait, shout out Duke Su and A Li) but somehow I have watched till ep13 even though I told myself to wait until it’s completed to binge watch, some things are irritating me in the drama so far but I’m still really enjoying it and hopefully it sticks the landing. This is one of the few recent dramas (another one that comes to mind is “A journey to love”) that don’t have irrelevant characters, all characters here have a purpose and not just to prop any other character up. So far 8.5/10, could bump up to a 9.5/10 if it in fact does stick the landing.
Ok I'm up to date on this drama, but I have to say the writers have done a bad job with this one. I've watched…
You just echoed my sentiments 💯. I am liking this drama so far but I am honestly getting a bit pissed off, why is the FL acting all scared, timid and weak in front of only her uncle, she talks back to her father and stepmother but acts like she wants to cry and hide whenever she faces her uncle , why does her uncle have so much power over her emotionally that doesn’t even make any sense, will still keep watching for now
This has been on my watchlist, then i saw 8.8/10 and I was like oh wow, I’m in for a good time but alas it wasn’t so. Ep1 was ok enough even though I wasn’t exactly seating at the edge of my seat in anticipation of the next episode but I’m like maybe it gets better since it has such high rating, half way through ep2 and I’m asking myself why I’m I here? 55mins into ep2 and the bank scene I was like yeah I’m out, I’m like is this for real, is this supposed to be a real bank? I’m sorry to anyone who likes this but this is definitely not a quality series and it’s honestly bad, the background characters are just lifeless and screaming I am just an extra so loud, my eardrums hurt so much. This very below average drama being rated so high is mind boggling, as someone who reads a fair amount of reviews here, I’m used to a lot of reviewers here enjoying mediocrity and some would rate highly anything their faves are in whether good or bad, I have long giving up hope of having the majority of the reviews and ratings here from people with working brain cells, most people who write reviews here have below average level intelligence, so when I continue seeing ratings like this, the hope that is dead gets buried even deeper. This is going in the dropped bin I obviously do not recommend Rewatch value 0/10 (even tho there is no 0 option) Overall value 1/10 ( because the 1st ep was @ least watchable)
Thanks for your comment. Based on what you wrote, I'm gonna skip this one for now. I'm also the type who prefers…
Lmao. You are very welcome. Every time they showed us one more thing he was perfect @, I just rolled my eyes 🤣. And you are so right, to be decent not even great @ all the things he was perfect @ would require years of hard work. I always tell my brother that aside from fantasy & sci-fi (like you rightly pointed out) dramas even though being fiction needs to be rooted in a bit of realism to be relatable to real everyday people. Oh well. I’m about to rewatch Story of MingLan and Story of Yanxi Palace (I always rewatch both back to back every time I rewatch, both are in my top10 fave CDramas, obviously 🙈) while waiting for some of the dramas I’m interested in to be completed as I’m a binge watcher
Cdrama MLs are always written as too perfect in all their ways, they are always the most intelligent, in-fact the most everything but this drama took it to a whole new level, he is a doctor (surgeon), a voice actor, a singer, a chef and to crown it all up he can draw (artist) and good at archery and he is not just decent or good at all the aforementioned, he’s in-fact super great at all of them. I just wonder if there are no sounding boards of wisdom in the writers/directors room to tell them when they have gone too far with the “perfectness” of a character cos boy oh boy the ML was way too far in perfect land, his shit probably smelled like roses and lavender. The whole I planned our engagement photoshoot without consulting you and asking for your opinions, did not read as romantic to me the way the series intended, it probably did for some people but to me it just didn’t. Well to each their own I guess All that being said I did enjoy the drama in the overall sense of the word, Sometimes you just want to go away from the scheming, plotting and backstabbing dramas (which is my fave genre btw) and watch something easy and sweet where everyone loves and support each other and this drama gives you that in leaps and bounds lemme tell you, it really is so sweet that the threat of toothaches and stomachaches is very real. It’s not something I would rewatch as I can only handle all that gooey “perfection” once. I recommend for a one time watch if you like gooey sweetness Rewatch value 3/10 Overall value 8/10
