Didn't know what to expect when I started this drama. Thought the initial episodes were rather slow but as I watched, I was hooked. It's a brilliant drama with heartfelt dialogues and interactions. Not fluffy or puffed up. The quality of production is very high too. The location is beautiful and makes me wish I was there. The only thing is that IRL, the place might be as nice but I doubt I'll meet anyone close to the drama characters.
Can anyone tell me what this is about and if it is worth watching?
Briefly, the story centers around Zhou Qing Zhu who Prince Li Ye sends to steal an important token so that he can become the King. The token is kept by Zhao Xiao Mei and he and Zhou have known each other from long ago but didn't recognize until later. Zhou stayed with Zhao and they were in love but faced numerous obstacles.
It's a short format drama, like 10 minutes or so for each episode. I watched it for the main leads who are very good-looking. The first half was bearable but the second half was sloppy for me. It's probably something you can try if you have time to kill. I've finished watching raw but I understand the subs are not fully ready.
This is a wonderful drama. Super healing. Super down to earth. Super satisfying. I watched this raw and I have to say the writing is excellent. Love many of the lines spoken. Bye everyone. Going to try Meet Yourself. Hope it doesn't disappoint.
After the first episodes, this drama gives me vibes of " a familiar stranger". it seems that they also filmed…
I think the initial episode does give that vibe but the story and execution of A Familiar Stranger is much better. I've finished watching this drama (raw) and the last few episodes were a tad disappointing for me. But this is watchable only cos the 2 leads are so good looking.
This is definitely one of the better Cdramas of 2022. Sensible, intelligent, authentic, and funny at the same time. Dramas don't always have to be dramatic to be good. The writer totally respects the audience and wrote this script with his heart. The leads are so good and they communicate well. Their flaws are believable too. I totally heart the 2nd couple. They're too cute.
I can't get over the fact YL used the words 躺平 (lying flat) in one of the episodes. Did this word exist during historical times? I thought it's a modern day movement in China?
I'm ok with their drinking since they're adults. It could also be a phase in their lives cos my friends and I…
I'll be surprised if they don't feature drinking that much with that kind of title. The title says it all. Maybe that's why they pitched the show to a niche channel? I guess it wouldn't pass a public station.
As much as I love the girls I wish that they grow out of their drinking habits cause they are addicted and honestly…
I'm ok with their drinking since they're adults. It could also be a phase in their lives cos my friends and I used to drink a lot almost every other night after work. But we eventually stopped. Only thing that bugged me was Ji Yeon drinking so much after her recovery. That's problematic messaging for me. But I do like the back story of her mom.
Watched 4 episodes and wish they just kept to season 1. I love Season 1 but Season 2 feels so tacky. What happened??? Ji Yeon is freed of cancer for now but she's back drinking? That's totally irresponsible messaging. And are all those "relief" scenes necessary? I feel bad for the girls.
