I’m not sure whether it can really be called a flop, because that depends on which charts you’re referring…
Maybe he doesn't need that much artificial hype. I mean even haters are here.. And let's be real, anyone who has watched more then 30 dramas can tell this is more then 8.7, maybe even 9.3 drama,
I want spoilers, if this was based on a novel, how do they came together? Since she is an official and he is the…
There was one girl in this comment section that offered to send spoilers from the novel to those interested. For the same reason, everyone was interested in Emperors marriage, because it can not be taken litely. Empeoror's marriage is a strong political matter, so it can not be just done like forbidden marriages usually are done in dramas.
So she sent everyone in DM, if you want I can forward it to you in DM.
I have mixed feelings about this one. The drama was thrilling and enjoyable up until the last two episodes, which…
revenge is heavy, emotionally draining. It seems natural to me for everything to lead someone to burn out, and lose sense of direction. People lose themselves over much smaller stress. Here they killed everyone he ever loved. And his love interest betrayed him for inheritence. Just went out of his bed and married. While he was raised by a flowerist nun, a good person, only thing that made him survive was his genius, photographic memory, and fighting skills and crazy amount of pain intolerance.
So, everyone has the right to feel something is off by their subjective perception. But I don't think last episodes are ruining it. Its actually natural, to lose a sense of feeling after so much pain.
And if they make a S2, I hope this FL doesn't get him, she doesn't deserve him. Thats what bothers me the most, that he forgive her.
The best ML this year, I'm unwell when he's alone with FL. especially when he leans in closer, to see truth in her eyes when they talk. I know at this stage he is only scanning to see if she is worthy ally, but still... And FL is so good in playing with fire.. such a cute face, bot so foxy and ahead of everyone. Not gonna be easy to catch this fox, even for an emperor.
in what way? Is it has lots of schemes? or romance? or what else?
I completely understand, I dropped so many dramas for the spoon feeding and the rest of that cheap romance. This is my list what gives that good vibey romance, where they both keep their characters, their flaws. And they both adjust a bit so it could work, and none of them is perfect or lovesick :D
Also, this drama if it keeps that way goes to this list, because so far is really good.
I called the list Powerful, unapologetic MLs, but they all have kindness, are nice people and have that rizz, flirty moments, sarcastic comments, they have character other then - I can fight and I'm lovesick. https://kisskh.at/list/3WWzvRg3
Cha Eun Woo: not even close to his performance in Wonderful World or WonderFools. but solid 8.7/10
Cute, calming drama after a long day - No depth in this one, just guilty pleasure
I won't write official review because I only write review for dramas that are more then 9/10, and really stay with you, you rewatch it, and you think about it, and one of the main characters somehow get stuck in your head. This one is not such.
So, what is good about it? ML - Cha Eun Woo carried the show. ML is calm, and aloof. I think only Cha Eun Woo can handle aloof MLs and still keep us interested. He has expresive eyes, charisma, and if you are not familiar with the work of Cha Eun Woo - he can sell that ideal k drama boyfriend image that we all so like. He is a prototype of ideal K boyfriend. And in this drama he carries the show. The drama itself was really good. Its relaxing, calm, has that positive effect on you. Even villains are calming, because they are ordinary people with ordinary problems and with common mistakes in communications, judgment and therefor conflict.
What is a minus? FL - her main response to anything is: "aaaah", and long delays between next word. I easily learned Korean with her. Because her vocabulary is so basic and her pronunciation so slow, and repetitive that as a beginner I could learn hahahaha. Not the brightest FL, but cute, and easy going. (note: this is not about actress but about how FL character was written, I'm unfamilira with the rest of the work of actress) That role was probably one of the easiest money ever earned. Literally 20 words in vocabulary to learn.
If your life is shit, and you're going through tough phase, this is one feel good drama. Cha Eun Woo is here to save the day :D
he is sooo hot in this emperor role. Emeperor roles are always to stoic and powerful to be seen ad warm and kind…
he is so dashing and strategic and a bit domineering - all characteristic fit for an Emperor- but also he is reasonable, also suitable for an emperor who wants to empower women. But you can also see its a new concept to him too.
Very well played by Chen Zheyuan. I love him since Hidden Love. But this drama has unveiled his dangerous side and he is so hot.
I watched 2 episodes... Didn't quite like it.. does it get better ? Anyone who has watched plz ans
It will be easier to say what you like and dislike.
If romance, what kind of romance? If you look for physical romance (spoon feeding one another, bed wrestling while FL is saying oh please no....) then no. If you look for rizz, and flirting, then there is. A lots, both have a lot to loose with trusting one another, but must collaborate because they need one another's talents and power.
If you look for schemes, there is enough to keep the plot and main couple mission focused and relevant. Its literally younger generations of visionaires and emperor who os for female empowerment, and old generations who are afraid of new and see it as downfall of kingdom - so quite realistic.
And there's bromance, this emperor has a great team of comrades. and FL is great asset to that team. She is much more then it meets the eye.
in what way? Is it has lots of schemes? or romance? or what else?
So no spoon feeding medicine or soup, no bed wrestling, almost kisses. No lovesick ML who lost his identity other then serving and protecting FL. And I hope it won't be, because I'm not fan of such romance.
And let's be real, anyone who has watched more then 30 dramas can tell this is more then 8.7, maybe even 9.3 drama,

Its the last 5 min that got people all frenzy.
And FL is so good in playing with fire.. such a cute face, bot so foxy and ahead of everyone. Not gonna be easy to catch this fox, even for an emperor.
But this one could be it. So far it looks as it could be 10, because chemistry is wooow. I'im unwell when he comes close to her🔥🔥
