I wish I hadn't started watching it

This is a drama that I wanted to give up in the first five minutes and every minute thereafter. Due to the actor, whom I have positive memories of from Secret Forest, I managed to get through to the second episode, but here I probably survived for ten minutes. I love s-f, love it, but I'm begging the Korean industry to abandon this genre. This drama is a nightmare that I will dream about at night as one of the greatest stupid things ever produced. The whole scene in the plane is the negation of any sense or reason.
There may be something good about this drama, but a plot nonsense where, of course, there has to be a great tragic romance regardless of whether they come from other timelines ... (not a spoiler, that's my guess based on the second episode) Okay , I just didn't see anything good about this drama, I gave it up in the first minutes of the second episode and I regret that I started watching it at all, because I have a bad taste in my mouth because of it.

As people criticize me for daring to speak badly about this drama, I will add:
The thread "you must not meet him, you must avoid him at all costs", spoken by the girl's father, who turns out to be her husband's brother ... Why confuse the situation so much? Are these telnovela heroes who fall in love with each other, discover that they are close family so they cannot make love, but at some point it turns out that she is adopted after all, so they are not really relatives ...
Because she is killed on their wedding day, is he going to develop time travel technology? To avoid her death? This 1888 thread has been used so many times since then that I yawn.

I started watching because I love sci-fi, but that doesn't mean I'm uncritical to the genre and watch everything. I like K-dramas and have been watching them for years so I was curious about the combination and it totally missed my taste. I really don't understand why I have to keep explaining to people that everyone has the right to have an opinion and express it.
I respect those who like this drama, but I also dream about them respecting those who don't like it. If nobody blames the people who give 10/10 after watching the first episode because they are delighted and nobody tells them "wait until the last episode because you may not like you" why should I watch more episodes, "because you might like like the next episode "?

Please respect the rights of others to opinions other than yours, because not everyone has the same taste and one day you may come across a drama where you will want to tell the world how much you don't like it.

Too Slow and Too Boring

This drama is incredibly slow. Just when the viewer expects to finally see action around the main couple because the threads of uncles and aunts have ended and in season one ML finally proposed to FL (Hallelujah!) the threads of princesses and princes begin.
I dared to write a negative comment after episode three because I saw rave reviews after episode one. If they are allowed, I am also allowed. I can't write a review after episode ten because my patience for this drama has already run out. Those interesting scenes shown in the trailer will probably be there three episodes before the end, but I really don't want to waste another hour learning about the stories of the secondary and tertiary characters. On top of that, the funny scenes are over. At this point, for me, there is nothing left in this drama except boredom. Music that has been in other dramas, young actors who are becoming more annoying than convincing on and, of course, a slower pace than in Sloth. Sorry, the boredom overshadows everything for me. In the second season there is nothing more interesting.

The 21st century deserves a better quality of production and acting

I started watching this drama because I like wuxia. I stopped watching it because I like wuxia and I want it to stay that way. Legend of Fei advertised itself as a quality production, meanwhile I got the quality of cheap web drama with plastic plants, horribly unsuccessful CGI and fight scenes where it's just plain that they were made by doubles, not actors. The actors themselves also act as if they were there for punishment and dreamed only of being anywhere but on the set of this drama. Their acting is emotionless, expressionless and based on a few perfectly trained facial expressions - three or four, which they change depending on whether the scene is thromantic or an action scene, but there is no difference anyway. The music lacks any individual features and sounds like music to hundreds of other c-dramas. Actually You Fei is a production below average, it is distinguished by the fact that due to the popular actors it had a very large advertisement, which only increased the disappointment of the viewer, who is not a fan of actors but of the genre.
I had a hard time making it to the second episode, but not the end of it. I watched the episode and a half suffering aesthetic torture.

I was wondering whether to write a negative review, but I thought it was good to also talk about negative impressions so others can avoid them.
In the first episode, a guy is in unimaginable pain and this scene is accompanied by silly music. A doctor and a serious businessman argue over a cup of coffee like five-year-old children and the doctor deliberately puts a slimy finger in his coffee. That's the kind of drama I can't survive. That alone is enough to make me abandon this drama forever and forget its existence. A doctor deliberately putting her saliva in someone's coffee? And this is supposed to be FL?
As for the plot, everything started so cliché and the characters are so idiotic that I can't expect either an interesting plot or strong emotions. Especially since the first scene already indicated that this would be a drama full of stereotypes, boring and badly shot.
The cinematography is weak. The dialogues are terribly bland. The music not only doesn't enhance the scene but totally ruins it. I feel sorry for Park Hae Jin for being ML in something so weak.
