Too violentāgratuitous, takes away from the story. Jo In Sungās and Han Hyo Jooās romance was swoonworthy, but the kiss scene didnāt make my heart flutter. Director doesnāt know how to film a kiss properly. Target audience clearly must be guys because women like a well-done kiss scene where we can properly see the kiss, the actual lips. I guess guys donāt care about that. On episode 10 now. I barely want to go on because of the intense violence. I want to see the kidsā story though and how things turn out for them. I love those kids. Overall, the drama has dropped from a 10 to a 7/8 for me.
Great drama. Top-tier quality. Exciting. Mysterious. Well-developed fictional world of rival martial arts sects. Gorgeous cinematography, visuals, and sets. At the start, a bit slow and draggy with no explanation of events, so itās very confusing at first. Then at the end, thereās a long, drawn-out explanation which becomes a tiresome soliloquy, but at least you get all the answers to your burning questions finally. 10/10.
We did get a few kisses from the lead couple, but they were very weak kisses. Is Linghe that bad of a kisser (because we know Esther isnāt) or did the Director say for him to kiss like that? Didnāt make my heart flutter at all. Nevertheless, their relationship and chemistry were sweet and gentle and warmātrue loveāvery pretty to watch. Really enjoyed this exciting dramaā not your same olā same olā. This was definitely a cut above. Deserves awards. That cliffhanger thoughārolling my eyes š. Season 2 perhaps?
Kinda agree. There were pleasant bits and there were unpleasant bits. Just wish there had been more lovey-dovey moments with the leads, more time seeing them as a regular couple working to make their relationship last. Didnāt get nearly enough of that.
As we are from different countries and cultures here, I have a questions : is it common for asian families that…
Same as yours in my culture and neck of the woods. Also, Iāve observed that the strong-minded women we see in Asian dramas really defy the Western stereotype of Asian women as being extremely deferential and meek.
He was very good in āOath of Loveā with Yang Zi. The drama itself was underwhelming and full of buffoonery and annoying side characters (very heartwarming at the end though). But, the leadsā chemistry, his flirting, and the way he kissesšššš„š„āWowww. I finally understood why all the fuss about him. Heās fire. āThe Youth Memoriesā was very good tooāhigh quality, family drama.

Weak on skinship though. The chemistry was FANTASTIC, especially with the second lead couple (ie, Shangjue & Shaungguan), but not a single kiss between them (disappointing because that actor, Ryan Cheng, is an excellent kisser and a phenomenal actor). Their relationship was cold, steeped in distrust and scheming, but, man, they were smoking hot togetherāthat bath scene š, Woww š¤©(but it still fell short of the bath scene in āButterflied Loverā). However, to be fair, I do indeed like the tastefully done, toned-down lust (a far cry from the disgusting, gratuitous stuff on certain HBO productions which shall remain nameless) and I much prefer cdramasā clean romance; but still, give us a kiss please when the chemistry is this hot!!!
