@MPL88 oh my mind. I actually need to screen capture your comment to use it as answer to blind worshipers on this site also twitter!!
Thanks so much for honest reviews and answers its so hard to come by lately cause those worshipers uses lynch culture on others people who doesnt have same value or likes as them... Its like everyone has to say same thing about the serie or actors's acting...

nope you are not alone at all...

thanks for honest review. Its hard to come by in MDL in recent years.

I can see where you are coming from but I can also see where Ai Mi herself coming from. Knowing this industry for years and all. She looks quite proud and happy in make up trying photos for this drama. I can literally see in her face that she was also one of the reasons why her company,her family was ok with this choice.

I just saw recent photos from Paris fashion week. She looks so thin! She was and is always on petite side yes I know but this time ı found it worrying. Its very similar to the Zhao Lusi's weight loss right before things went serious.. I hope her close family and friends helps her on this matter.

!!! OH MY MIND whenever I watch Xiao Zhan in recent series or shows I thought and felt that I knew his face from somewhere or at least from some character I felt effected by its story. Its been years I feel that way but was so lazy to search his earlier roles.
Today I was feeling like doing a rewatch of some series of Zhao Lusi. I thought this might be it and right now on ep 1 when I saw his face I was like '!!!!!!!!!!! U KIDDING ME SERIOUSLY' oh my nerves I never realize I knew him from here wahhhh he looks like bean and once I saw him, I also realize I was stuck with his character here as second lead for a while :c...

lol nice catches! But its not only those mistakes' fault. Its also writing's fault! IF it was interesting or dramatic enough or it was written better as a script than a story, we wont have time or energy to realize those mistakes that easily..

People who disliked and blaming or dropping it because of female lead needs to take a chill pill. Drama remake didnt do justice to the novel as usual with novel remakes.
The way they execute story from that point, without giving any details on how both lead characters arrived at that time and how they were in past couple of years .... IF those were added many females viewers would have get the hints. Even male viewers who knew how to read the mood/vibe would get it.
There were many details and casual moments between leads even when he wanted to court her friend through her help! There were moments between lead guy and the girl he wanted to chase so we could see how she was not even interested in him was only professional.He was also so 'neutral' for someone who was interested in her.
So when you were reading you didnt feel that '?!' about love progress between both leads.

I would have love to give more details BUT I already forgot most parts of what I read years ago plus I didnt liked second half of novel so I kinda skipped most parts AFTER they got together. Also if I cont to write more there would be spoilers about some stuff.
Anyway I just want to say she said those words when confessing because she tested his feelings & reaction towards her. They knew each other a lot more than they let on but he was acting on and off at times like a game and she was finally done with it all.
They had many subtle and kinda flirty moments between them EVEN when he asked her to court her friend for him... So when that kiss scene happened in novel you felt where she came from and even ur frustration from reading all that was like 'GOOD JOB' or else he was not willing to wake up from that situation at all even when friend already had another beloved and got married to him (if I remember right)

you can watch on any order you want to BUT when you watch this one BEFORE the second one, you will end up getting spoilers on some characters's death.
I wont explain longer just in case you dont like spoilers?. be careful reading more comments about relationships between lead characters from this and secondary series'..

I agree its harder to connect with characters or story itself with this kind of filming&editing. BUT Fangs of Fortune was a lot more easier for me to connect emotionally also my brain..
These fox spirit series feels like as if script had 5 pages and they made that into long episode dramas.
Sure it has so many loved actors with dead gorgeous costumes/wigs, world build filming sets were also interesting to see YET I always end up feeling its a big shame scripts of them were this way...

Im rewatching this for the first time after finishing years ago. I realize how full the script, casting and acting feels!! I was so unfair to this drama I realize that now after recent year dramas' scripts...
I feel like If I live long enough, I would also miss the dramas I dont like right now because no matter how many fave celebs of mine they cast, script always fail to deliver in the end OR on second half especially...

This has one of the worst and unfair second lead syndrome in Cdramaland...

Im going to be honest I dont give a demn about story but will be here to watch my girl Li Landi in these gorgeous costumes while I also enjoy watching Ao Rui Peng!
Im kinda surprised how lux, detailed & high quality costumes looks for this genre..

Wake me up IF this ever happens T^T

rewatching for 3rd time *-* the awkwardness, childish naive feelings, warm friendships and lovely slowwwwww progress between leads goes very well with summer weather. Makes me miss my teenage years and summer vacations with old neighborhood kidsT^T

I miss watching him in costume dramas what a shame...

Im rewatching some bits and part because I miss all my faves whenever I try new series... Ep 7 is just too much xD Its emotional and progress on lead male makes me go kajhsdkjahsdjh while Lead girl asking her bro go to examination in her place and whole uncles knowing the guard while he screams he aint hımself LMAO XDDDDDDDDD this ep never gets old I swear its always so precious! been years for me...

Some says its slow in the beginning but for me first half is the one that made me like this serie and LOVE the characters. It gives older drama vibes, teaming up slowly getting to know each other and feelings growing between all 4 of them. Very light hearted yet emotional at parts its heartwarming.
BUT second half is kinda let down... I just rewatched (first half mostly)

hahaha year of learning I guess... its been a decade I finally learned my lesson...

Love this theme and its going to be my first time watching this theme in Kdrama land I think...
