LOL, I love this review, which fits my sentiments to a T.
The real love story here was that of Niao Niao and her mother, and here they went breezily ruining it in favour of a travesty of romance . I spent 56 episodes hoping mother and daughter would finally have a real conversation that never was - granted, after all she should have learned both inside the palace and elsewhere but didn't, I came to the conclusion Niao Niao only understood slap language.
I'm still laughing after reading your review, the best review so far that I've ever seen, Super funny I enjoyed…
Thanks a lot for the good wishes. :D Indeed, we are watching another fantasy drama together, this time a Chinese one (Love between Fairy & Devil for the record - 2° time for me, first for him). Commentaries are still on, at times when I think the scene is a solemn one and husband comes up with a joke of some sort. I will NEVER watch those solemn scenes again without bursting into uncontrollable laughter. :P
Ya know if Chinese historical dramas were around 16 eps like most east asian dramas, I would watch every single…
Well, all things considered, episodes are barely 35 minutes long - taking out intro and outro - so in the end is just like watching 18 episodes of a K-drama. Give them a chance!!!!! :D
Emy, penso che tu abbia sbagliato pagina: questo è lo "special" di 5 minuti - sostanzialmente un collage di scene già viste - non il drama vero e proprio, che è quello che hai recensito. Ti consiglio di spostare la tua recensione qui https://kisskh.at/53117-cang-lan-jue
Detto questo, sono d'accordo su quanto sia coinvolgente questo drama, al quale all'inizio non avrei dato un soldo bucato, ma col progredire della storia mi ha catturato inesorabilmente. ;)
It not actually 80mins long, all the episodes are around 1hr5mins plus 1 or 2 more mins. Also aside from romcom…
So, why was a comment section even invented when someone can't come here and say they dislike the show? Isn't a negative opinion an opinion too? Or are you implying this section is restricted to lovers of the show who gather here to rave about it?
By the way, I barely knew of the existence of this drama: I'm simply passing by because I like Lee Seung Gi and wanted to know what people think about this show. Nonetheless, I claim my right to be here and even dare to express a general opinion.
I genuinely dislike this kind of so called special episodes that promise to be an epilogue when in fact they are a short collage of already seen scenes. I'd rather imagine my own epilogue. If I wanted to re-watch DFQC's dream I'd do so. There are far better MVs out there, like this one, for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gbKgmbetVo&list=LL&index=3&t=223s
thanks, haha - something to lighten things up. it was a decent enough watch and there were serious and sad parts…
Don't worry, I just finished a xanxia myself - a much shorter and very enjoyable one, so my effort was a lot less heroic than yours ;) . Even so, I need a break from brainless immortals and flying demons. Should I ever decide to watch another in the future I doubt I'll remember which is what: they all have the same posters, lol!
I have no idea about the drama - my radar never went near it before tonight, out of simple curiosity - but the review sure is hilarious! Not sure I can take this thing seriously after reading you. ^o^
I completed this drama today, so reading this was a double pleasure: first, because it's extremely well written and informative, second, because I'm fresh with the experience and miss these characters already. If I hadn't watched it, this article would have surely prompted me to do so at once. Thank you!
Lmao. Great article! How come I hadn't come across this when it was first published? Possibly, the word Virus resonate more now than it did 9 years ago, or I was bedridden with influenza...
An extremely well written, informative and thought-through article: thank you!
Apart from having all sorts of genres and acting styles to fit them, there's another + point to give to Japanese doramas: if they advertise a product as, say, a romantic comedy, you're going to get a romantic comedy. It's not going to suddenly turn into a melodrama with an ocean of tears left and right. Not that I have anything against melodrama, but I like to get the food I ordered. ;)
I agree. It's unfortunate that so few J-dramas are available to (legally) stream. I think J-dramas would be much…
Totally agree. And yet, I can't help but feeling that the moment they start selling themeselves to the international public they may lose their unicity. It always happens when, in order to be better commercialized, a product ends up adjusting to the public taste. That's what's happening to Kdramas, which are slowly "westernizing" and, in so doing, losing some of their original charm.
I'm obviously all in favour of finding more and more J-dramas to watch, but a part of me is happy they are keeping their unique flavour by remaining "niche" products.

Reading your review was way more pleasant.

Another classic, lol.
And how about the way he bites into that crunchy morsel after telling her about DFQC's eating preferences?
😂
Give them a chance!!!!! :D

Thank you for your warm welcome. Now that I'm back I realize I've missed all this. :D
