Ok so I've just watched the first episode. This is also my first historical chinese drama as well. I really want…
I can see you got a ton really in depth answers, but there's also an FAQ in the discussion board that answers all your questions as well, if you're interested. :)
It was pretty eh, in my opinion. They focused on the love story and kind of ignored the more interesting bits…
In my opinion, there was a lot of running around and mystery, but it focused a ton on the love line. The chemistry in this fell a little flat for me, so that's probably why it seemed so glaring. I felt more interested in LR, YR, and SJ than the main couple which rarely happens for me. It was just missing that spark for me, but I can see others loved it. This is only from my perspective though and everyone's different. :)
It was pretty eh, in my opinion. They focused on the love story and kind of ignored the more interesting bits that could have given the plot a little more umph. But, who knows, you might like it.
If you're looking for a straight romance, than this probably isn't for you. The drama revolves around the to ML's and their story. There is a beautiful romance in this drama, but it is entirely subtext and not in your face. The drama also takes more like 10/15 episodes to get into. Looking at you watch list, this drama might not be your cup of tea though. :)
finally a rating closer to reality. a beautiful drama but too overrated
I know you replied up above that the drama has flaws, but just because something has flaws doesn't mean it isn't beautiful. While you might not have enjoyed it as much as the other people on here, or more people to come, there are others who loved it. Maybe think of your favorite drama and consider how you would react to such a comment :)
The new MDL algorithm is devoted to analyzing the ratings and adjusting for fake accounts and such. This isn't the only drama with a rating fluctuation. I couldn't find the link someone else posted. Make sure you're verified so your rating counts! :)
This drama is very dear to a lot of people. Also, it looks like you haven't watched it, so why are you judging…
I figured you might have as they're pretty much staples in drama watching. I do agree on the past story outshining the present one, but I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much without it all connecting together. I loved it, and went into withdrawal for about a week, lol.
Yay! Happy watching, I hope you like it! Feel free to pop in if you have questions about it :)
Not sure if you've given this a try yet, but it's decently good. I'm on episode five currently and it's much darker than I expected. I'm not sure why there's only a romance tag as this is much more complex than that.
