Loved the leads in Maid's revenge, so I decided to watch this one, and I enjoyed both, but let's be honest, both series are so cringe 🤣🤣 It's either you are going to swoon over their moments and kisses or you gonna just feel nauseous while watching, because they have great chemistry but everything else is nonexistent 😂 There is no story nor common sense whatsoever, and you jump immediately in the middle of the story, I thought the first EP needed a first EP to explain, but you can catch up while watching. This by no mean a bad review, this definitely better than most short series I've seen, but it still lacks a lot to be treated as a good series ~
Had the last 4ep on hold and today I decided to finish it. Loved the last 2ep and the second leads here, also my favourite character has to be the uncle, yes he was bad but still he has charismatic appearance with his calm and Clueless personality 😂 Bai Ruan is going to have a hard time dealing with him but I bet she is up to it. I'm still holding my ground about this drama, I think it has too many unnecessary side stories but overall not bad~
Wasn't good, wasn't bad, just average. Chemistry was lacking, FL had more chemistry bickering with Quan Cheng than with the ML in general, the two leads looks good together but really awkward when they get intimate, they are good at arguing scenes but romance wasn't that great. The series also drags a little more than it deserves, but overall watchable ~~
That was ... a mess ..... But let me say something first. I really liked the idea of reversing the roles where the FL is obnoxious and the ML is nice and lovely, and I don't understand some of the comments pointing out the faults in the FL character and saying they can't stand her while I've never seen such a comment if it was the case for the ML. She wasn't perfect but that's completely normal, her character develops with time.
FLs don't always have to be agreeable and save the MLs from his own demons, they can be bad too, and I don't mean sexy bad but outrageously and disgustingly bad xD give me some human traits like vanity and aggression, to do anything ethical or unethical to reach your goals and put them in a tough FL character and then give her a reason and a way to change and be a better person.
While this all is fiction and that's just in dramaland, personally I like to see that reverse beauty and the beast idea more often, because it's refreshing and shifts away from the stereotypical concept of females in dramas. But still, this drama wasn't the best showing this idea. It became really boring the more you watch it and you lose interest in the 2main leads, their story starts to improve after the time slip and the appearance of the cute kid, the second leads story is just a mess, it's all over the place after the time slip, they are actually the reason I wanted to keep on watching at first but the writers didn't adjust their story to fit after the 6 years passed, not to mention, they totally disappeared for a whole bunch of episodes, at the end of the series the writer was like "did i forget something? .... oh shit! The second couple!!" Then they scribbles some stuff and that's it. And I'll not mention the other couples in the drama, and the guy who had his arm in a cast twice lol
I gave this 8ep before deciding to drop it, people keep saying it was nice in the beginning but gets boring the more you watch, and I kinda found it boring right from the beginning, I lost any hint of interest I had in any character.
I like the drama but I can't help but notice that it swerve away from the main focus or leads relationship, it's not necessary a bad thing, it keeps from getting boring, but personally I'm not a fan of stretching stories by adding a lot of things happening on the side and making the drama longer, it's like a loop now, a problem is solved, another starts. I was curious about the uncle and her friend when I reached 10th EP and I did not know that they'll actually be a couple, but they hardly have any scenes together 😕 At this point, and despite being a relatively good drama, I just want it to end.
I was screaming " CUT THE FUCKING ROPE, he's still blinking!!" ... then rolled my eyes for the rest of the pilot... if the drama is on the same level I do not think I can survive it 😂
After finishing the 4th EP I was wondering while drinking my tea and eating some cake, now that I have watched an excessive amount of kissing between two - supposedly - strangers who don't know anything about eachother and at a very satisfying point in the story where everything is fine with no conflicts..... what the hell are they going to show in the next 14 episodes??? And they are AN HOUR AND HALF EACH, mind you! ..... I don't know what to prepare myself for since I don't know what I'm going to see ... I think I'll put this one on hold for a short while, because I don't think I'm ready for the nasty characters here to take action, and they are many unfortunately ~~~
Just how the FL became so expert at exorcism in no time, and found those coloured stone out of no where to release the ML from the evil creature, and the fact that a strong exorcist like the ML was too weak to get possessed by a creature that we don't know if he is too strong so he was able to overpower the ML or so weak that he could be released by a few stones and a spell said by someone totally inexperienced like the FL ..... among other things ~~~
RYO SAMAAAAA!!!! *wiggle arms in the air* Oh how I missed him, he looks older than in the last drama I've seen him in lol 😂😂 He still looks stunning ~~ Anyhow, I still didn't like this drama, I feel like this couple deserves eachother, and I kinda saw that ending coming, because this by no means a realistic drama, both sides were terrible to a degree and only used the other for their own gain. This wasn't my cup of tea, I kinda expected something funny, and I can't see anything funny in what I watched at all, at one point I wonder if some comments actually watched the same drama I did but anyway we all have different sense of humour apparently ~~ I would not recommend this, nor watch it again, I only gave it a go because of Ryo - obviously - but it's not worth it ~~~

My point is, if you are an actor who looks his age, don't act as a younger person, period.

Overall, good idea, bad execution.

Edit: dropped at 8, thanks ~~
