I seriously love Bai Yutang like y'all Alen Fang here reminds me so much of Yu shisan and I am living for it π Like I missed that dude so much that it was like being able to see him again here π
Actually kinda getting reminded of MLC like 1) ML seems a bit weaker when getting into a fight due to the poison in his body 2) SML really wants to have a match with him one day
Unlike MLC I hope we get to see the match btw them lol
Finally seeing the two MLs tgt and omg I frickin love their bond alr and they only just met! So excited to see their brotherhood relationship grow throughout the drama!!
I know this is an older drama but can someone give me a reason not to drop it?The first episode just gave me so…
The FL? She regrets all her past doings and gets a new chance in life and tries to change the course of her previous life and slowly learns from it. That's what the drama is about, which makes it interesting. If there was a prequel (which would be that past life of hers) I know I'd hate her character so much too. Do love her gradual character development throughout the drama.
Seems everyone likes the first half a lot more but I don't think I have a preference? They are both great to me (I am only on ep 11 tho lol). I really like the change in tone in the second half where we got to start seeing a bigger revelation of the ML.
For me I feel the romance could've been done better. I hate when they don't communicate. The ML tries to communicate but then she always pushes him away. Well, these two aren't very good at this bc they are hiding things from each other throughout more than half of the drama sadly. It's getting kinda annoying... Tho kinda understandable as they are big secrets in a way, but still...
Tho I have to say I love the story and plot. I am here for Nokdu's journey of discovery. Makes sense since he's the main character that his story is the most intriguing. Didn't see that plot twist coming tho!
So far an 8.0/8.5 - an 8.5 bc of the amazing story; possibly down to an 8.0 bc of the romance.
Edit: Towards the end and I feel it has gotten better (the romance) and even more intriguing (the story). I'll give it an 8.5!
Lol not me just realizing by the third ep that even Zhan Zhao himself thinks Linglong is a boy... That's why it felt strange to hear what he would call her after her last name (ε (Xiong) = Brother / Mister)! Okay sksksks they have an amazing "bromance"... Anyways jokes aside I seriously love their bond sm π€
Well ig it's bc I'm using a pirate site that doesn't allow the automatic full screen unfortunately. Can't watch it on Youku (as I'm in the USA) and don't plan to purchase a Viki sub so yeah. But it's alright lol. Maybe I will find a way in the end.
I loved Mun as a character. He was someone I really adored throughout the drama. My favorite ever. And I love the found family here so much. The ML's relationship with his fellow counters, best friends, and grandparents. The focus on his parents was also really nice, not to mention Motak actually knowing his father. One thing tho is I found they kept dragging on the fight against the evil, where they kept constantly losing. I think it could've been shortened or executed better somehow. Also, I did wish the focus was more solely on his parents and Motak's memories rather than also having to hear the villain's (esp Myeonghwi) side of the story tbh. I had no care for him and wished they just showed and explained about him more briefly than they did. I was genuinely happy and proud to see one of the bullies in the end have a change of heart. It was so beautiful and made me emotional that Mun was so loving and caring even towards him despite that which changed that bully.
Okay wait... Is S2 confirmed or is it just a rumor still? Idek what to believe! But it would be super crazy if it's true! But at the same time I am nervous... They better do it well and not ruin this first season! I've been so curious to see how the end plays out and it would be so fun to see it all happen.
I wonder if we will get nearly the full version of nearly them living their lives and then possibly another angst coming but this time with not as many flashbacks like for instance Ji Ling and Li Jie had a lot of flashback scenes, as well as JiLu (puppet Ji Ling meeting Wuyi b4 his memories got wiped), which was sad for me.
And pls give more characters the time to shine and be fair! For example, my WuWu cp didn't get enough and I feel robbed of them when I've been waiting for them for over a year!
If I were to watch this, which episodes could I safely skip so as to enjoy what's worth watching of this? If I…
Not sure if you should rely on one's opinions on this. I actually liked it more starting ep 17-20 and then it gets very angsty by ep 40.
I actually dropped this last year after 20 eps bc I wasn't feeling it. Started again and finished it today and it was quite a ride.
Try it for yourself. You never know your opinion until you watch it :) But ofc it's understandable to be hesitant bc it's so long.
I did find many characters interesting, even the ones that turn dark like SML and SFL. Ofc their actions can be a stress or annoying tho. But I think they quite were well-written.
By the end I didn't root the FL to be with anyone but to stand on her own. Romance felt forced in the end too lol but TLOSL fans might just ignore that anyway.
So yeah, in conclusion, not everyone will share the same opinion. For instance, I may understand one's criticism in their review but actually still enjoy the drama despite that criticism, or even disagree with it to an extent bc of how differently I view that certain thing they're criticizing for.
