I was super super upset for a while over the last episodes. This drama was a pleasant surprise for me and I felt like someone jerked the floor from beneath me by the end. To be honest, no matter what anyone says... I hate that the ML... UNGH.

It is sad. The costumes and acting are really very decent and I'm in love with the emperor's voice and the FL is okay... but nothing makes me feel super invested in how their story will play out for some reason. No matter how it ends, I'll likely feel "meh" about it all. No bueno. :(

I wasn't watching it, but I'd been eyeing it. I saw some negative comments on the show's MDL page, so I hesitated to begin watching it. I think I'll give it a go, but I don't think I can handle another drama at the moment that doesn't draw you in and feel super invested in the characters and their journey. lol . The worst thing a drama can do (in my humble opinion) is make you feel lukewarm/MEH about the characters and wether they live or die. -_-

YES. All of what you said.

thank you! I may just go ahead and continue watching it now!!

P.S. How are you liking Renascence?

Song of Glory was probably one of the best of 2020 for me! I really enjoyed that one this year. Joy of Life... I think I watched a few episodes, but put on hold. I don't remember why. I may need to give that one a go again for sure! Serenade of Peaceful Joy I read about but am pretty sure it would not be my cup of tea either. I may have to do a rewatch of an old fav at this point. lol ^_^

realllly want to love this one more but I'm finding the episodes are super repetitive. Ungh. I need a fabulous historical to watch. I think I've seen ALL the amazing ones LOL But, seriously. :-(

I would adore this drama SO much more if the FL didn't look perpetually 12yo. :( Kind of ruins the "romance" feel when it looks like they paired a 12yo FL with a 20yo ML. She just looks wayyyy to young for this role.

wth just reading the synopsis has got me like WHUUUUT? #MustWatchItNow

Not sure about this drama yet (only a few episodes in) but I can say I now have a girl crush on Wu Jia Yi. What a fabulous actress and character!!! She's a scene stealer for SURE! LOVE.

Si YIN is a manipulative dick until the end. & Ya LONG was not. He loved the FL for who she was when she was reincarnated and he was true to his feeling as a Deity. Ya Long & Ye Yin were wronged from day one and wronged through both seasons. The ending is shit because of this reason.

just finished this and though I adored it for what it was... the only major thing that sticks out to me is: (see spoiler)

I can officially say that the final episode was the biggest and hottest mess I've seen in a long while. This Lakorn.... eesh. -_- I'll just write a full review soon. It won't be pretty. So many lovely actors/actresses all ruined with horrendous story telling.

I dropped this one after a few episodes. I didn't care about/like a single character here & after seeing a few spoilers, I can tell this drama is not for me. Sad. A beautiful cast for sure! :)

75% of episodes 19 & 20 were comprised of flash backs -_- I think what is the worst thing about this Lakorn is the fact that the "side character" storylines feel like they are an entirely different Lakorn. Like the two storylines don't even belong together. It's kind of weird and I feel kind of disjointed as a watcher when they go back and forth between them. It's like the writers/directors/etc were not sure who the LEADS were supposed to be and which character's story they wanted to be the MAIN focus, so you get this split personality feeling while watching. They should have kept the side character's stories to a minimum and then done a spinoff series if they were that invested in telling the secondary storyline. Throwing it all into one drama did NOT work here because if you're like ME (as a viewer) and hated the side story, then you end up skipping 70% of the episodes just to see the "main" character's story. :-(

starting this one later tonight when I get a little time to myself! #excited

YAY! Finally! Thanks so mcuh @Dame ^_^

I expected a somewhat iffy ending, but I did NOT expect that absolute disappointment. UGH.

I feel you on all the above. Also... WHY did they give Joo Hyuk a semi-happy moment "reuniting" with his dad... I mean, was that necessary at ALL? & why the HELL didn't we get to see Hye Won's evil ass go to jail? Or anything about her really during that "3 years later". The romance & romantic conclusion also left a LOT to be desired. Why torment yourselves for a further 3 years... not even seeing each other that entire time. Just... wow. What a complete letdown. 100 episodes where everything was revealed and conlcuded by episode 40. 60+ episodes after that were quite literally filler episodes leading to the bad guys getting caught & paying for their crimes, which STILL wasn't done well. STILL a mediocre ending. I guess, at least they were consistent with the zero plot thing for 104 episodes??? -_- P.S. Glad to "meet you" @milisia! Let's definitely chat and watch another drama together soooon :)
