Have you finished watching it? Should I binge watch the rest of the episodes or slow down? I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I feel like I should slow down, but at the same time it seems like I should opt for short pain and just watch the rest as quickly as possible.

I'm loving this drama, but the heartbreak can take its toll.

I usually watch something cute and funny after a drama like this. You may have already seen it, but Romance of Tiger and Rose is a good therapy watch. The Eternal Love series can also do the trick.

Episode 26 had the saddest weddings I have ever seen and that was even before she started putting the spikes in his heart. I was on the verge of tears during the whole ceremony just looking at how happy Tantai Jin was. I also don't understand why she doubted him and his feelings. She had physical proof that he was in love with her because the spikes kept appearing. Why was she so sure that he was faking? How would he even be able to when she had proof in her own hands.

I binged 24 episodes in a little over 2 days and now I feel like I need to slow down, because I can just feel heartache coming.

I'm on episode 25 and I must say I'm starting to get disappointed in Susu. Did she forget what she was sent to the past for? What is she even doing at this point meddling in Xiao Lin's business. Also, why did she even leave with him in the first place? She could have just let him go by himself. Also, stop helping Bing Chang. By this point Susu should already know that she's a bad person. On top of the fact that she's not even her sister to begin with. Just let her slave away in the palace. Why is she giving her opportunities? Am I supposed to believe she's smart after she keeps doing stupid things?

And here I was wishing Tantai Jin would just kill her and be done with it.

Exactly. Why even keep her around? Just get rid of her. She is annoying to look at and the other characters just letting it all go is irritating.

I must admit that there's one thing that I like. Most female villains are like Tian Huan. They do awful things, because they're obsessed with a man. So far Bing Chang has shown that the only thing she cares about is herself. Granted she's a psychopath and obviously a bad and selfish person, but I like that she's not bending over backwards to get some guy. She only cares about her own wellbeing and how to get it. The disappointing part is that she still seems to think that the only way she can be safe is by pretending to be weak and get protection from a man.

Is that aspect, I think the best female villain was Wu Huan from Ancient Love Poetry. All her life she pursued power for herself. She did many despicable things for it, but as a villain, I at least respected what she was aiming for.

I'm on episode 22 now and even though before I never liked Bing Chang for some unspeakable reason, now she has shown her true colours, I full on hate her. Also, what's wrong with Su Su. She went through the dream and saw what women are capable of, so why is she trusting Bing Chang. Yes, she may not be Tian Huan, but the tricks are still the same.

On episode 19 and I'm loving Pian Ran. She's such a fun character.

Wow, that Tian Huan is a psycopath.

Beautiful shot

I'm well on my way to hating her, but I'm not there yet. I'm assuming she will get worse or at the very least will show her true colours. So far, her gentle and kind facade seems so fake, I can't even look at her face. I feel like she's just a very selfish person and to be honest her love for Xiao Lin doesn't seem all that real either. I'm hoping for his sake that she does love him, but it just feels like she just used him to get a better life for herself. He seems like a good person, so I do wish for good things for him. Even though I still think he's a bit of a boring character. Sang You was more interesting to watch. Hopefully his experience in the dream of Sang You's life changes him a bit and makes him more interesting in the future.

Based on your comment, she will get worse. I didn't get as far as to hate her yet, but I'm dreading what's coming. Given how unlikable her character is, I can see why people hate her.

I'm on episode 11 and for some reason I just can't bring myself to like Ye Bing Chang (she just seems fake for some reason and her constant weak and pathetic appearance is rather annoying). I also don't really care about Xiao Lin. As a result, their boring relationship is also something that doesn't hold my interest at all. I suppose it could be the lack of screentime or the lack of chemistry between the actors portraying the characters.

The relationship between Pian Ran and Ye Qing Yu has potential to become more interesting. I hope we get to see a bit more of them.

Obviously the main couple gets the most screentime and I like the chemistry between Bai Lu and Luo Yun Xi. Their casting is on point. They bring their characters to life incredibly well.

So far this drama has been very interesting to watch. It's also undeniably visually stunning, which is always a treat.

This isn't a great drama, but also by far not a disappointment. It had its moments, mostly in the funny and cute scenes. One of the reasons why, is because the ML fit in those cute scenes. He played the part of the cheerful, cute and innocent very well, but in turn did not really fit playing the serious, calm and mature parts. His age was only partly responsible for that (seeing as he was around 17 at the time). The biggest issue is charisma. He doesn't have a very strong screen presense, so he can't pull off a character who's supposed to be charismatic and magnetic.

The story itself is rather predictable and repetitive and there's an abundance of the usual tropes and annoying characters.

Where the story shines, as I already mentioned, are the cute moments.

Given how short this drama is, it's worth a one time watch.

This drama is the silly, funny and cute type. I really liked it until around episode 17, when the story went into a strange direction. I think it might have worked if they presented or edited it better, but starting from episode 17 it felt rushed and the story stopped making sense. All in all, I did enjoy it for the most part.

Whether it's the manga, the anime, the movie or the drama version, this story has always been very warm, pure and calming to me. It's not flashy or overly dramatic and focuses on the relationships between very different people who are somehow going through similar experiences. The relationship between Sawako and Shota develops naturally and grows from mutual respect and admiration, which is beautiful to see. The friendships that the characters form are pure and supportive. This story shows that you can keep things simple and straightforward and still be engaging. I'm glad I got to watch another adaptation and get to know the characters all over again.

I like the cast, but the styling doesn't really look great in pictures. Hopefully it'll look better on screen.

Even though this drama definitely had it's shortcomings (most of them the same as other short dramas), I must admit that I still enjoyed this. The reasons are the main leads. I liked the characters and their story was actually interesting (based on both seasons, since the first does not tell their full story)

I liked this more than I expected. It's cute, funny and silly. I really liked the fact that the drama and the cast embraced the silliness. It made me laugh and was entertaining throughout. I actually ended up loving it.

the look with the white hair looks like his father. Based on the clothes on the poster it looks like the styling they did for his father.
