Yes! I agree with all of this. I was wondering if I was the only one who thought maybe a different actor for Xiao…
I'm glad someone had similar thoughts ;-; I definitely felt like I was being a bit of a downer in this review, but that's because I got so attached to the characters and felt like it was a shame to have such a lukewarm ML. But you know, the ride was fun at least! And yes, crazy how Wuxin is in the cover but gets a total of 20 minute screentime in the last half of the drama.
I love Nagi and a couple of her friends such as Urara and Ryoko. But the victim blaming is insane. Shinji didn't just ignore Nagi or be rude. He literally said that he used her for sex. He only appreciated her image of her loving him, such as straightening her hair for him. And when he goes to see her, the first thing he does is try to have sex with her. Nagi's struggle to contect with people has nothing to do with the abuse she endured in her relationship with Shinji, it's annoying to see her try to rationalize the degredation she was put through. I don't care if he cries a river for her, he was shit. The best thing he can do is try to be a good person to his new girlfriend and not repeat his mistakes.
Which has me shaking my head and asking why they are forcing a love line that is clear neither actor nor viewer…
oof...i figured because this is her first work kind of and it such a big role in a big production. but i do like the actress, i just feel like her character was neglected to begin with
His actions keeping her out actions but tagged LWJ along just shows that she is no different from anyone else's…
that's another thing, they made qianluo appear so weak ;-; like sis gets zero cgi and to be honest the spear doesn't do her justice since everyone else uses swords
I honestly think it’s not just her. Li Hongyi gives off frankly hostile vibes whenever they share a screen.…
Li Hongyi definitely is more than half the reason the chemistry is nonexistent. even when qianluo is more likeable ans honest, he responds like cardboard.
On episode 37 right now, but Fairy Louxia and her disciple have more chemistry together in the few minutes of screentime they get together than all of the interactions between Qianluo and Xiao Se. I get that Xiao Se wants to keep Qianluo out of the fights, but instead of it seeming like he cares for her wellbeing it feels like he wants to keep her out because she is a nuisance ;-; like he literally has his head in his hands while speaking to her. if only mdl allows gifs, imagine me as a person smacking their head on a desk...
Very good points. I agree with you on the friend, I try to like her and I understand that people especially women…
Agreed, hopefully in the next few episodes there will be more nuances in their relationship because despite being messy, I have more hope for them than the main couple ;-;;;
This drama is so fun, but the mystery side plot is taking away from it. Some people are saying that its so the drama can reach 16 episodes, but honestly I feel like they could have just put another coupling instead of the mystery side plot. I really like the FL, she is flawed but the fact that her entire thing is being a mother first is very likeable. For those saying that she is too old to act the part as boring, many old men are not heckled as much as this actress has despite them being a love interest for a character played by an actress half their age. Anyway, the ML is also really likeable. I find it realistic that his mood varies on whether he is healthy or not and think its interesting to have a male character having an eating disorder. The only thing is it is a bit annoying for people to keep commenting on the fact that the ML is thin, like 0-0 no shit sherlock, want a cookie? The high school loveline is getting qyoooot. I love Haeyi and the hockey kid seems like a nice kid. Seonjae is fine, but he definitely is just the good guy that will be sidelined, hope he doesn't turn bitter though. All the mom's are such a bore. Even though I love the actresses, it is giving great value sky castle. I hope that this drama leans more towards the romance of the main leads and highschool line instead of all this school competition and murders.
The FL is really unlikeable, especially after seeing her taking that guy as a client just to get back at the ML. This is a child's life being determined in court, not an opportunity for you to take petty revenge. The ML is also extremely annoying, I do respect him for deciding to divorce because he felt like married life wasn't for him. I think it is better to separate from someone because otherwise you might drag them down. However, faking a wholeass affair was so dumb. Truly stupid. Not sure why everyone is head overheels for SML, he is a very mid character if I'm being honest. He simply says thinks that come off as "good guy" statements like being open to a divorced s.o., and etc. But he has no other charisma. Also the second couple are so weird. the FL's friend is right to speak her mind, but she diminishes the ML's friend's moral compass. If he feels weird about having a one night stand by accident, don't rub it in his face? That's so weird? That being said, the ML's friend is also annoying with the whole slight mysogynistic comments. Like we get it, women should be like this, this, and that, go date a porcelain doll.
Not sure how the writer plans on making any of these characters have a redeemable storyline, I do like Han Gil and Yeo Rae. They are very funny despite having little screentime.
