This drama is impeccably cast. From the heroes to the villains, every cast member did a great job portraying their characters. It's especially important, because for me what made this drama great were the characters. Yes, the drama is visually stunning, the story is interesting and the music was beautiful, but my favourite part were the characters.
I watched this movie not knowing anything about the story, I didn't even read the synopsis and I loved it. Granted it's fast paced and lot is happening, but it's never confusing.
A sequel would be great. A drama adaptation might be even better. There's obviously a lot of story to tell.
I really enjoyed this drama. The storyline was captivating and the characters were likable. It's short, so the story moves along fast. Out of all the short dramas I've watched so far, this is definitely among the best.
So, I'm a new watcher and I've gotten to episode 20. But from the things I've seen floating around on here and…
If you absolutely hate those types of endings, regardless of whether the story will remain incomplete, then stopping at episode 35 might be the best option for you. It will not ruin your enjoyment of the drama and the story will seem complete.
This was one of those dramas that I waited for impatiently, constantly checking for any news on when it will air, because I really loved the novel.
I must admit that my love for the novel resulted in the fact that I initially didn't really like the changes that were made to the story. I didn't think the changes were necessary and I didn't like how it fundamentally changed some of the things that I really loved about the novel.
That being said, this drama has an undeniable charm. So eventually, I decided to separate the drama from the novel, which made my experience watching the drama infinitely more enjoyable.
There's a lot about this drama that I really loved and the things that I didn't like were insignificant in comparison.
One of the unfortunate things was the love story between Zi Hui and Jin Luo and the fact that most of their story seems to have happened in the background/behind the scenes, which resulted in their story having not a lot of impact overall.
Xiu Ming's character also suffered in the way he was almost forcefully inserted in the main couple's story in the beginning of the drama. This made his character and his actions very unpleasant to watch, which dragged on almost till the end of the drama.
That being said, there was so much about this drama that I loved.
The main couple shared undeniable chemistry, which shined in the cute moments. Ding Yuxi did an amazing job portraying the different characters. This is the first time I've seen Yang Chao Yue in a drama and I was fully aware of the criticism her acting usually gets. I must admit that while she didn't do well in the emotional scenes, she delivered the cute and mischievous scenes really well.
I liked the way Hao Xuan was presented and Edward Zhang did really well. Although watching yet another evil Heavenly Emperor could have been tedious, Hao Xuan was a soft spoken evil psychopath that I really loved to hate, so he does deliver as a villain. I also liked that his villainous ways weren't hidden for long and the audience is shown early on that he's behind the bad things that are happening.
She just sounds so bitter that TTEOTM has done so well despite the initial mixed reviews. When she trashed it…
I wasn't aware he was bashed for making suggestions. I saw the BTS clips and to me it looked like he was really trying his best to understand his character and bring him to life in the best way possible. That's part of his job. I will agree she does come off arrogant. Like she knows everything better than everybody else. I've only ever seen her one other review (Word of Honour), so I'm not as familiar with how she usually is and if this is just because she didn't like TTEOTM.

There's absolutely no other choice than TTEOTM for me. Granted there are still some dramas on my list that I haven't had the time to watch yet, but even then I don't see my answer changing. This drama has a special place in my heart.

To be honest, this is the first time I've heard it. No idea where she got it that he was an investor. Seems unlikely to be honest and she doesn't provide any evidence. She does have some valid points sometimes and I don't care if she's negative, because that's just her opinion, but she really needs to just stick to actual facts.

I would have no problem with her assessment if she didn't go as far as insulting an actor who was doing his best by saying that he treated this drama as his playground so others could take snippets and make videos. That's not an objective opinion on what she saw behind the scenes or on screen. That was telling us what LYX was thinking when making this drama and unless she has some supernatural abilities we don't know about, she can't possibly know anything about that.
