Does anyone have any additional insights on how the novel unfolds? Cause I do want to watch this for Jin Dong but I can't stand Zijun and it would suck so bad if Jin Dong's character ends up with her (not to mention his gf is actually Zijun's best friend...)
Is it worth watching if im looking for a romance drama
Here's my take on the romance. If you're looking for a drama where romance is the driving factor and centre of the plot then this is not it. But I think that's what makes the romance here 10 times better. You get to see WHY they fall in love and the slow process of them falling in love. It's all about the small moments but that's what I think makes the romance in this drama that much better. So while the romance may not take up a ton of screen time, it rings truer than many other dramas with romance at the centre.
I'm only three eps in but I'm confused about something in the synopsis. He entered the Sheng family's company because they are his enemies right? But Tong Yi Nia is from the Tong family which is in direct competition with the Sheng family. So, isn't Yi Nia not the daughter of his enemy?
I am on episode 8 and there's a total of 40 episodes? Not sure if I can finish this. Good so far but I feel it…
I saw a trailer that showed a few scenes from later episodes and definitely think it's going south :( It gets more and more cliche and I swear I've seen the same scenes/heard the same lines in a few other dramas.
I loved the drama but there's something about the ending…It's good, alright, and it's happy but I dunno…it's…
I actually really like that the "bad guys" didn't end up with terrible terrible lives. I think it was more realistic than if they were bad all the way to the end.
Are we sure that Eun Sang will end up with Tan? Cause I really don't want to watch a full blown love triangle where she just might end up with Young Do and if that's a possibility, I'm just going to stop watching now lol
I'm really really hoping she wouldn't fall for young-do too and thus have a reciprocated love triangle. I absolutely cannot stand those :( like in twilight
I really wanted to love the drama but I guess I am one of the few that just...didn't like it. Aside from the holes…
NO REALLY!!? I always thought she was a boy!
Did you time travel here from the 1800s? If not, I'm not quite sure why you think there is a way to "handle your place" as a queen in modern society. Also, no, not almost every girl gets "insecure in love."
This drama is saying that girls should be capable, strong, intelligent but she can't be the ultimate leader, she'll need to fall into the shadow of her husband. She won't have the prestigious status without him. Of course she can be whoever she wants to be but I think the drama could have spun her character better :) the stereotypes are still there just masked behind this tough character
Okay coming back to give a warning to people...DO NOT WATCH THIS AS YOUR FIRST K DRAMA. I now have unrealistically high expectations and cant seem to get into any other kdramas because of secret garden :(
I am on ep 9 and so far i am loving it! finally a strong girl who can stand up for herself...also doesnt hurt that the 2 male leads are seriously the hottest things alive
I really wanted to love the drama but I guess I am one of the few that just...didn't like it. Aside from the holes in the story telling, here's my issues with this drama which mainly revolves around how they wrote Hang Ahs character:
1) They wrote Hang Ah to be such a kick ass awesome and strong character but then she turns to putty when she's with the prince, it's like she's two different people and she suddenly becomes weak and super sensitive and emotional. For goodness sakes, she saves her man and his family a bunch of times, shouldn't she be calling all the shots when it comes to their relationship and even political matters? I mean, she is just so smart and capable but she willingly takes the role of the supportive wife and does charity events. For goodness sakes, she was trained on assassination...
2) I feel like this drama totally fed in the whole 'first lady' or kate middleton thing but Hang Ah deserves so much more than that
