I really, really liked it, but that was mainly because I liked the FL and was cheering for her to accomplish her…
Thanks for the warning. I really love jdramas but as much as I love them, I absolutely hate the stupid breakup for work trope (and they just can’t stop using it 😫) and just reading about the way they use it makes me angry, so sadly, I will skip this watch (to keep my inner peace lol)
In my opinion, the storyline is pretty chaotic. In one scene, they're standing on a balcony holding hands, then the camera suddenly cuts to another couple having sex (we've never seen them together before???), and then back to the main characters standing in a boxing ring kissing. So to me, it sometimes feels like a string of random scenes. And I don't even want to get started on the plot... One of the main characters has debts and uses the other to pay them off. I mean, he doesn't even know the guy at first and just says, “Yeah, he'll fight in the ring, give me 20% of the winnings.” That doesn't make any sense. If the world worked like that, I'd be the richest person in the world 😑
I don't know... I'm currently on episode 4, but I'm finding it quite difficult to continue watching. Let's see if I finish it or not (and please keep in mind, that’s just my own personal opinion).
You only found 2 episodes because… surprise! Only 2 have been released so far 🤭 lol.Here’s the very mysterious…
OH🤦♂️ lol I thought I found it on an already completed bl’s list, therefore I didn’t notice the actual release date 😅 thanks for clearing that up for me 🫶
Hm, I only found 2 eps so I can’t really rate it yet. All I can say is: ep 1 starts a bit awkward and ep 2 gets a little confusing at first (because they start filming a movie or something and the lines between movie and “reality” get a bit blurred…) also, I’m not exactly sure where this is going to go. Would’ve loved to see all eps to maybe get the whole point of this show 😅
Plot : “FL gets adopted by her uncle” - trope (and falls in love with him)It’s one of the versions in which…
Ending is… well…. 🤦♂️
After treating FL badly and denying her his love for 99% of the drama which leads to FL leaving him, in the end you see FL coming back (young and fresh as always) to an oooooold white haired, ill and whatever man. She marries him and he dies. I mean look, I can’t even write that in a nice way, it’s literally not possible because that end is just: 🤦♂️(imo)
Plot : “FL gets adopted by her uncle” - trope (and falls in love with him) It’s one of the versions in which ML treats FL badly afterwards (for her own good, of course 😑🙄🤦♂️)
I'm sorry to say this, but in my opinion, I find this drama tiresome. Perhaps it's because I was expecting a more romantic storyline after reading the synopsis (but the family tag is certainly more accurate)
I admire that the female lead is strong and courageous, that's what initially drew me in, but after the same pattern repeated itself over and over again (the female lead/family is threatened and the female lead saves the day), it just became annoying. The lack of deeper feelings between the main characters and the expressionless acting of ML certainly didn't help either.
So in conclusion, this one was definitely not for me. If you're like me and (after reading the synopsis) are expecting a romantic drama, my recommendation would be to better give it a miss.
Best thing about this drama is the friendship between the 2 princes and ML imo (it’s refreshing to not see another rivalry like in most Chinese historical dramas)
Ok, here’s my resume after finishing the whole drama (caution, 2. includes spoiler):
1. It’s super cute ❤️ I love Japanese dramas, they hit different at least in my opinion
2. If I had to criticize something, it would be the last episode. I would have loved if they ended it with…(please mind, SPOILER FOLLOWING: a pregnancy for the first couple (or a time skip in which you see them together with their child) and a marriage for the second couple. Especially the end for the second couple disappointed me, because I would have loved to see those two beautiful actors dressed up in wedding attire (and their wedding would’ve been a beautiful moment to announce FLs pregnancy…at least in my mind, that would’ve been the perfect ending. But well… can’t have everything)
Anyway, if you enjoy watching Japanese dramas, I bet you won’t be disappointed with this one either, so please give it a try ❤️
This drama is just crazy 😂 I feel like it's more about giving ML a reason to wear flashy clothes (and make him look dashing) than developing a meaningful and nice storyline.
Let’s be clear, the ML IS fabulous and handsome but it’s just not enough to make a drama work.its a pity, that they didn’t use the setting and costumes to create a better story.
