I originally wanted to give this 8/10 but when i got to episode 20, I changed my mind to giving it 2/10. Because that episode was completely ridiculous and unbelievable and made me so pissed off that I started fast forwarding from that episode just to finish the series. That episode destroyed everything good about this show IMO. I ended up giving it 5/10 because of the wedding scene. Those vows were absolutely incredible and one of the best tv wedding scenes I have ever watched, so I guess there’s that for that.
Won’t be rewatching ever. And to be very honest I wouldn’t recommend this show.

I was stuck in-between choosing 6/10 or 7/10 but I ended up going with 7/10 just because they had really good chemistry. There was nothing extraordinary or groundbreaking with the story, the plot was basically straight forward and predictable, you could basically tell what was going to happen, there was no surprises and it was still decent enough. It was an enjoyable watch. The way they looked at each other was fire 🔥.
That tasty Florida restaurant, is the only restaurant, fictional or real that I have seen that has only one item on their menu. Lmao.
This was really cute and all but I very much doubt this would be getting a rewatch from me. But I do recommend if you are looking for something fast, easy and adorable.

OMG, this was wild. The annoyance I felt and still feel with the time I wasted watching this series stems from the fact that it could have been really good with a better and complete script. I have watched series where you have to interpret the ending but this was not that, this is an incomplete script. It’s one thing for the writers to create an open ended ending and let viewers interpret it as they may but it’s something entirely different to have huge holes stemming from incomplete conversations half way or a little more than half way into the series. It was really wild, absolutely nothing made any sense after Yi Bin confessed to Ki Jin, conversations where literally left midway in all the scenes after the aforementioned confession scene. Then we get one year later and its like magic, abracadabra, everyone is smiling.
It was so bizarre and I am so mad because I can easily envision what it could have been instead I was subjected to the mind boggling/numbing thing that it ended up being. Deep sigh.
I obviously will never rewatch this.

I highly do not recommend

I am struggling with how to fairly rate this drama. It had so many things wrong with it but it had some good moments also.
I totally get the persistent and determined angle they were trying for with Ha Ram in pursing Seo Yi Jin but it came off as too pushy and was tending towards harassment, no should mean no. It seems when beautiful/handsome/rich people display such behaviors they are seen as cute/romantic etc but when people who aren’t attractive/poor do the same thing they get labeled as creepy/stalkerish etc. It’s a very dishonest and selective world we live in.
This series struggled with really bad pacing, they tried to fit too many things without having enough time to flesh them out
The acting, ots and chemistry between our main couple was actually really decent, so IMO it could have been a lot better if the things mentioned above where handled much better.
This isn’t something I would rewatch and I am not really sure if I will say that I do or don’t recommend it. If you are reading this review to decide, then I say I will leave this one as your choice on whether to watch or not.

Yes.

Thank you 🤭. Happy viewing 😁

Hi. I read your review and was reading this thread of replies to your review.
I just wanted to tell you and encourage you to never be afraid to speak your mind. I know there are so many delusional fanboys and fangirls on MDL that think they have the right to police what people can say on this site because of their obsessive delusions towards the leads, especially towards most of the popular/handsome MLs, therefore are aggressive/insulting to anyone who isn’t praising and singing kumbaya along with them in reviewing dramas.
This is a public site where everyone has a right to review any drama based on how they felt while watching it.
Your opinion is yours and yours alone and it’s valid whether I or anyone else agrees with it, that’s why it’s called your opinion.
I hope I haven’t overstepped.
Cheers

I guess you have the right to say my review/opinion is wrong but I don’t have the right to say the quality of the drama is not my cup of tea.
You thinking I need validation from people I don’t know for whatever reason and that in the grand scheme of things won’t increase my worth and more-so on a drama that is pretty forgettable to me, no less, is hilarious.
My opinion about his acting is not going to make them not cast him anymore in any drama especially since you claim that he’s praised for his outstanding acting skills, if you really believe that he’s acting is as outstanding as you claim why then are you mad at my opinion which you also generously pointed out didn’t get any positive response.
Ooooooppppsssss sorry comment police, I didn’t know that I couldn’t post or repost my comments however much I liked, I didn’t read that in the MDL do’s & don’ts but thanks for pointing it out. Is it bad that I am laughing so hard about this whole thing because it’s pretty funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Review @ ep1-14
I actually do like this drama but I so wanted to love it for the sake of Zhou Ye, became a fan of hers after watching her in Word of Honor (I can’t rave enough about that series, special shoutout to the one and only Chief of the Ghost Valley, the philanthropist Wen Kexing) but I don’t love it so far. There are so many continuity fails but I will highlight two.
1). He had huge scars from Su Ying stabbing him in ep1 but all of a sudden the scars disappeared few episodes later
2). When he went to retrieve his sword the first time, the journey was so hard / tumultuous that’s why Yan Hui couldn’t go with him but when they went the second time, they just basically strolled into the place.
Yan Hui keeps losing things just for the sake of furthering the plot which is out of character for someone who cherishes everything she has.
Also once again we have a female character Su Ying who is so obsessed with a man (the only difference this time is her obsession isn’t with the ML) she is extremely vile and vicious and willing to go to any and all length for him. This perpetual CDrama plot is getting so damn old. Especially the level at which they make this female characters reach. It’s beyond ridiculous and unrealistic. I personally don’t know any woman in my real life who behaves in those extreme ways.

Update @ep21
I am struggling so hard to continue this drama. It’s not terribly bad but it’s not great either. The acting from the ML is actually so bad. He’s had exactly one expression so far. He’s acting range is very limited IMO but he’s handsome so I guess that covers up for lack of acting abilities to some people. Whatever floats anyone’s boat….
The comedic parts of this drama just feels out of place for me.
One more thing I don’t care how handsome or beautiful someone is, or whatever reason they had to stab and almost kill me, nobody is falling in love with someone who literally stabbed them and left them for dead. The lovers of this series can try to justify it any which ways they like, “he has to save the kids” “he was going to return the protective heart thingy to her so he knew she won’t die” etc but to look someone you claim to love in the eyes and stab them for the 3rd time I might add is just unacceptable and as far I am concerned there is absolutely no coming back from that. He could have asked for it but nah, let’s stab her and then she literally fell so badly, he didn’t even try to break her fall, he just left her there, but wait, he’s really so sorry and because he’s so sorry she has to understand and not only forgive him but let it go and continue the relationship after he couldn’t take 2mins to ask for it and just had to take it in the most cruel way possible. I am sure eventually she’s going to forgive him and they will live happily ever after but that’s a relationship I can never get behind so that arc of the drama has already left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Update @completion.
The production team for this drama really dropped the ball big time especially the editing department and script writers. So many inconsistencies and lack of continuity. The errors is the details was just way to much for me to ignore and tolerate. Marks appear and disappear in the same scene. The characters powers and strengths (with the exception of the dark lord aura guy) where so inconsistent and felt like it was based on what each scene needed. I can go on and on but I have already spent days watching this drama and that is enough time I’m willing to give this drama.
The only thing that was good for me in this drama was the costumes., they looked beautiful and rich.
I am obviously never going to rewatch this drama.

Lmao….

No. Because they are together at the second half of the series so it’s almost 50-50 at that point.

You are most welcome

I think Jiang is the main ML and Hua Wu Que is the SML. Jiang has more screen time especially at the beginning. I would say it’s about 65-35% with what I can remember.

I completely agree with everything you said.
For me it was really bad. I rated it 1/10 because I couldn’t rate it a 0/10

The story continued in TWM: Next Chapter. I think I watched a couple of episodes of that and just couldn’t take it anymore and dropped it. Maybe I will finish it one day, who knows.

It’s been a while since I watched this and I’m just reviewing it now, kind of forgot majority of the plot but reading some comments reminded me a lot about the plot. Obviously nothing extraordinary about it, if I needed to read comments to remember most of the plot but It was a pretty good and quick watch and I found it interesting at the time.
I did watch this after watching Lighter & Princess. I doubt most series going forward are going to come anywhere close to the chemistry and romance that was masterfully displayed, directed and produced in Lighter and Princess for a while. So I will try not to judge most series with those lens if not most of them will definitely fall short. But this drama did rather ok in the chemistry and romance part compared to other highSchool/College dramas.

LMAO. You were so eager to jump into the fray to display your “superiority” to me with your passive aggressive comment disguised as “TED” talk (your words) in a way to bring me down a notch, I presume without actually going the insult route but then you couldn’t help yourself and called me juvenile (although I’m sure you will disagree and say it’s the crap and so ridic words you called juvenile).
Once more in your eagerness to show me, whatever it is you actually believe you did show me, I guess you didn’t see the part where I said where I said Luo portrayed the devil lord to perfection, I knew what it was before I watched it so I clearly was not judgmental about the genre or culture, this was fiction and to my knowledge China doesn’t have any devil lord so I don’t know exactly how I was judgmental about a culture, I think you felt using a buzz word like judging a culture would make me shake in my “do better” boots and maybe other intentions. But whatever your intention was I’m sorry but I will have to disappoint you, it didn’t hit the way you thought it would, because I wasn’t judging a culture.
Aside from your passive aggressive comment, I think your forgot that your comment was a long one too but I guess mine is a rant and yours isn’t either because of your perceived superiority of yourself or because you love TTEOTM so much you are going to defend it against any perceived foe. So you are allowed to comment however much you want and however long the comment is but others who don’t share the same views can’t because theirs are a rant. It’s been noted.
I never knew there was an award for reaching 80000comments but I am sure glad to contribute my quota in reaching it

Please kindly screenshot the section on MDL where it is stated that each comment section is just for only the people who love the series. This is a public site meant for everyone to comment as they see fit in regards to how they felt about the series, no one has the right to insult or police other people’s opinions. You can disagree with someone’s opinion but insulting them (I’m not saying you did, because you didn’t) or telling people not to comment if they don’t like it, is not within your rights or anyone one else’s rights here.
That being said, IMO, I clearly was very fair in my review, I said I liked the actors/actresses and that they did a fantastic job portraying the characters they were giving. I also said I liked the CGI and costumes (which I did as they were breathtaking and visually pleasing) but from the dream arc the plot fell completely apart and most of it didn’t make any sense (and I stand by that).
If it was great for you then am glad you loved it but I didn’t and that is ok.

OH MY GOSH, I am so very sorry I offended your delicate sensibilities with my personal opinion on a public site that is meant for exactly what I did, post my personal experience after watching the series.
I guess you’ve never heard the saying that ignorance is bliss.
So I will take your suggestion and continue to blissfully bask in my lack of knowledge about the inner workings of CDramas and rave over every CDrama I watch even if I didn’t like it so that someone named Regards Ty won’t come under my comment and insult me hence not only changing my view about said dramas but also making my life that much better for it.
Just incase your level of intelligence is limited to insulting people because they don’t have the same views as you do, I will spell it out for you in plain English, do read the above as sarcasm.
