I loved and hated this drama at the same time. Near the end it was mostly hate.

My problem with this drama and with so many other dramas about the republican era is that there are always characters we like that die for no good reason and the villains’ punishment is too soft compared to all the pain and suffering they caused.

So I have a love-hate relationship with this drama and I am not sure I would dare watch it again.

Definitely a good one-time watch tho.

I doubt they will go to the trouble of fixing them. When people could contribute to the captions there was a chance of it happening, but YouTube removed that option. The only way we will get proper subs is if some fan decides to pick this drama.

Yes. Have they gotten any better?

To be honest, I don’t remember. I know by the ending they were kind of on the same side but I do not remember if their relationship was really bad or not. But like the synopsis says, they have "different political stances and beliefs", so there is a high chance they dont really get along.

Like I said in my comment, its not a bad drama but it is unnecessarily long so the romance is also slow paced. About the ending, if it was not a happy one I would be ranting after going through 70 episodes of this. XD

Maybe the whole thing was just a really long trailer of what the drama could have been. XD

The reviews and comments seem to consistently indicate that this is not a good drama and after watching the trailer I felt even more like this would not be my cup of tea so I guess I will skip on this one.

This drama’s biggest fault is that it does not feel like a drama at all. It feels like someone made a compilation of some of the best scenes of an actual drama and this was the result. 3 mins per episode with the music and everything is not long enough. There was little character development, we know almost nothing about the main leads and even less about the other characters.

This could have been a nice drama if it was 16-24 episodes long of around 45 mins each like most Chinese dramas. There would be more time for developing the characters and story.

I have watched many light hearted romance dramas and this definitely is not one of them. Like you said, the focus is not even in the romance. The second leads probably appear more often than the amount of romantic scenes we get between the leads. There are also a lot of heavy themes and some deaths, so yup, not that light hearted.

I gave it a 6.5 and was being generous. I only re-watch dramas I rate above 7, preferably 8, 8.5 and up. If it was not for the way the FL was written, I would have probably given it like a 5. 😅

I paused watching this drama a lot after ep 15 or so. So yeah, it might have been around there. But around eps 30-35 it got even worse.

The way the drama went downhill around ep 30 makes me feel like 2 different people wrote the story.
It started interesting, not amazing but good enough. But it gradually lost its direction.

I liked the way they wrote the FL’s character, but the plot itself did not meet my expectations, if I even had any.

Good. It was probably for the best. But from what I have been reading, this one seems to be going towards a direction where the main leads end up together even tho he is as toxic as the one from the original version.

I might be wrong tho. These are just my assumptions.

They are always ripped from somewhere. Those guys dont move a finger. XD

It’s more like the female lead only cares about the second lead and takes too long to realize she likes the male lead.

Even if you wanted to watch, you would not have to spend money. It is available on other sites already.

Yeah, I agree. The drama was going so well that I was starting to question things. For them to keep the story going they had to add something to drag things out...unfortunately they chose the old cliché of amnesia to do that.

Hopefully this amnesia will not last for too long or at least they will make the male lead fall for her again and kick the delusional woman out of the house...along with the greedy old woman. I cant stand those 2.

First, both main leads fall for each other around the same time, the male lead is just more active about it. Also, there wasnt even a convincing reason why he feel for her, he just did.

Second, she stays at his house for half of the drama without even actually getting married. The synopsis made it look like she would get married early on, without liking him while he chased her, but this was not what really happened.

Third and the worst part about this drama, throughout the 24 episodes there are 3 different women who all want the male lead and will play dirty to get him even going as far as ignoring the fact that he is ALREADY MARRIED. The 3rd woman is the worst since she is a princess and actually has power, so she causes the male lead to divorce the female lead and marry her. It was a mess.

So yeah, if you are looking for a romance full of fluff, this is not it. The last few episodes are mostly dramatic and frustrating and at some point you dont really care anymore about how it is going to end.

Not surprised, but yeah, the synopsis is misleading. Read the spoiler below to have an idea what this is about and maybe not waste your time watching it.

I was going to watch this until I realized this is a remake of Roy Ruk Raeng Kaen, drama which I refused to watch a few years ago when I came across it. I am not in the mood for toxic relationships that by the end of the drama somehow turn into relationship goals....no, thank you, I’m out.

Smart choice. I will probably put it on hold until March just to be safe. ^^’
