Hello, need to educate me 🫡 do you know who these enemies are in episode 2 where they speak their dialect /…
A history buff (rajv) shared this with me: This was the period when the last Ming Emperor was on the throne of China and the Manchus started gaining power to overthrow them.The Manchus/Jurchens/Qing Dynasty founders were called “Horan” by the Koreans, looks like. Horan means a disturbance caused by northern or western foreigners (from 胡 ho "(northern or western, often nomadic) barbarian".The earlier Khan Nurhaci, also known by his temple name as the Emperor Taizu of Qing, was a Jurchen chieftain who rose to prominence in the late 16th century in Manchuria. A member of the House of Aisin-Gioro, he reigned as the founding khan of the Later Jin dynasty of China from 1616 to 1626. Hong Taiji(the Kangxi Emperor's grandpa) was his son who proclaimed himself the first Qing Dynasty Emperor.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Taiji
I think the last time I fully enjoyed rom-com was when watching Business Proposal back in 2022 and Love to Hate…
Their chemistry was good. It was the weak writing that was the problem. It was the unimpressive start to their romance that left me unmoved—her mistaking him for a pervert, his catching her on the toilet. Stupid. There was no building of affection over time before the “love” came so abruptly. It was based on what? Nothing as far as I could tell. That moment when she said everyone should be equal seemed to be the moment he fell in love with her. That wasn’t a strong enough catalyst for their love, in my opinion. Very weak writing.
Hey , is there a love triangle between ML-FL-SML ? will SML touch FL or they spend lots of time together ? or…
There’s a bit of a triangle, yes, as the oblivious, slow-witted FL thinks she and the SML are “just friends.” She makes the ML feel insecure because of that friendship.
Here because the ML, Wang Zu Yi, got me obsessed and mesmerized in “Extremely Perilous Love.” His face is so striking and interesting-looking. And his acting is fire! Excited to see him in a modern setting romance. I also liked the beautiful FL when she was a flight attendant in Seven Tan’s drama about being airline pilot. Hope this young actress, Shao Yu Qi, has much success. I like her acting.
Update—Finished this in one day. Very good. Good acting instead of the cringe soapy acting you usually see in these low-budget minis. However, we didn’t get proper, swoonworthy kisses to match the incredible, sizzling chemistry created between the leads. Also, attempted murder was just brushed over. No cops or jail time at all. There were a few other issues too, but it was still a 9/10 for me overall. The final episode was corny as hell though.
Excellent drama. This slow burn—Wowwww 🔥🔥🔥🤣. We might as well start calling the leads “Scarlett, Rhett, Melanie, and Ashley” because that’s who they are, complete with a “civil war” to boot. I wonder if the writers got the rights from Margaret Mitchell’s descendants, lol?
My new crush. I love his good acting and striking face. Very unique. Obsessed and mesmerized after “Extremely Perilous Love.” Enjoying him now in the modern drama “Love at Second Glance.” His honey-dripping, steamy-dreamy bedroom eyes 👀. Woowwww. 😍
The FL actress, Daisy Li, impresses me more and more with each new drama she’s in. She’s good. In this role, however—blame the writers—the FL character was terrible. Nevertheless, she took this gullible, basically idiotic, dual-character and just knocked it out of the park.
This ML, Wang Zu Yi, is new for me. His face is so striking and interesting-looking. Very unique. Very good actor. Very charismatic. Definitely want to see him in more dramas.
At episode 20. Good acting. Excellent visuals. Sizzling chemistry. All the makings for an outstanding drama except for the exasperating plot. Pretty good, but the writers made the FL character unbearably gullible. FL character is such a loser. ML was problematic too—poor communicator which contributed to the FL’s misunderstandings. But would she have listened anyway even if he had explained things from the start? Shame on the writers. Otherwise, we could have had a truly great and swoonworthy drama. Four more episodes. Will see if the writers can turn this around.
