Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. One of the best kdaramas and historicals ever. Red sleeve angst. Bloody Heart cinematography. Incredible acting. Beautiful OST. Have watched so many mid shows lately this one put 10 stars back on the map!
Oh gosh thats finally over. Skipped all the way through, the beginning is…. Who even knows… the middle a total psychotic mess, and then the show finally seems to gather some momentum towards the end. Still, you see a complete personality shift in one of the characters that just leaves you asking “why?” - I am still confused as the high ratings for this hot mess.
What a stunning drama! Acting, story, casting, ost, settings!! This one is hands down a beautiful show, with so many fun and upbeat humorous parts, with equally tender and heartwarming scenes too. Absolutely a must watch.
Incredible cDrama! Mature and well paced melodrama- that certainly showcases the power of women when they come together. Clearly it takes a long time for the FL to land on her feet. I would have preferred a long resolution at the end. Final episode was very rushed. Needed a solid HEA for the 2FL who honestly starts to feel like the FL at times, she has a lot of airtime. I mean this is a HEA show for everyone but the baddy husband, but still it would have been nice to get a little longer for the happy parts. Great drama. Music is also well chosen. Absolutely you will need to binge this drama it is so hard to put down!
Great beginning- but odd rushed ending, with a somewhat sweet love story for the mains in between. Skipped almost the entire nonsense for the 2nd couple story, it held zero interest for me. The chemistry between the leads was great but got so tiresome with the constant issues. The toxic evil witch mothers of China unite in this show, just two too many of them. 🤣
Where to rate this? I gave it a 6/10 because I did love the leads but the way one behaves got tiresome. The writer was all over the place here. At times I felt like we had a great heart warming melodrama with some unique storytelling and the next minute we’ve been sunk into the typical annoying “go-to” ugly cdrama tropes. Come on, you totally wrecked what could have been a A1 show.
Most this drama can be skipped. Easy. Far too long. Cut out the crap and you’d have a nice 20-24 ep drama.
Let me first clear this out of the way, JCW is my fav actor and I have been waiting for this drama since the day…
agreed I actually dropped HCCC at that point and took me almost a year before I was so bored with dramas and thought I’d try finishing it. it was ok, but deffo not something I will ever watch again or rave about. its mid. My opinion. Find it so funny how others can’t wrap their heads around that something they love isn’t loved by everyone and then get uptight about it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Like for reals we all like diff things. My kid only watches thrillers and horror in the world of K dramas. Me, not so much.
7 at best that takes 30 episodes to even get a little more romance in a show that is pitching itself as a romance drama you got to do better than that. Theres times this script is a pile of nonsense, actually a lot of the script is especially the constant nonsense coming from the 2FL. It’s exhausting and you’ll probably spend a lot of the show skipping. Carlo the dog is the MVP and is not even on the cast list… why not??!?!!!! He is the best and the captain of the ship from the start. There are some nice scenes and a good cast of comrades at the Vet clinic despite this weird behavior early on. It gets just a 7 for me. Fix the 2FL crap and get the romance going a bit faster and please LESS of this obsession in Cdramas of the FL always been a silly little girl who is naive. Strong mature FLs are so much better!
Theres a trope a minute in this show, so if you’re up for a bit if that you’ll be able to tolerate it!!! The ONLY trope missing from this show is the cold fish kisses, thank goodness… yep these two know how to kiss. The ending could have been a bit better, but oh well- you can skip the last few episodes its pointless dragging, and the script feels like it was written by a middle school kid.
There’s plenty of toxic evil and psycho enemies in this series too. Like enough already. Confused by the high viki rating cos this show is utter nonsense, but whatever, must be a lot of young girls who don’t understand life 🤣🤣🤣
The asthetics of this show are a big win. I just had to skip a fair bit as this progressed. Also there were a few misses in scenery. Starts of early fall. Somehow theres a scenes walking through the cherry blossoms. Then its New Years (according to signage at the club), and then back to Fall. At that point it stays consistent- late Fall, Winter and stays there… I gave this a 5 overall, mostly to the way they used those last 2 episodes. Not my favorite sorry.
It’s ok, has some really great parts but far much meh.. I skipped a ton of this show especially towards then end. It felt like the typical tropey cdrama but even cut down to 24 ep was too much. Ok watch.
Ansolutely beautiful production. Chemistry was on fire with the leads, and the General is probably the nicest ML ever in a historical cdrama! Smart, no dumb misunderstandings, no time wasting. This plot moves fast, it is short. Yes theres a handful of plot holes but we will let them slide because it doesn’t matter. Cinematography is on point, if this was low budget you can’t tell.
One issue was the music was often far too loud and so they needed a better audio engineer. Great show must watch you won’t regret it!!!
Loved it. I love the Hangang so it was fun to get a drama set on the river. Disney does a stand up job with their productions. I came here after dropping season 2 of First Responders which up until half way thru of season 2 had been my top show of 2023. Couldn’t stand all the sadness, they kind of ruined it so I needed another cop show. The humor is a nice balance in this one. It’s short so easy to get thru if you want a quick drama to binge.
