Soooo the show got better for me once we get past ep8 BUT those kisses. Could the FL look a little less shocked/wooden/unwilling to accept that yumminess??? LOL
what a waste of a character. I'm on ep 28 and still hate the comic drawing girl. She's tooooo weak and whiny and besides being able to draw, has zero qualities to make her stand out as an interesting character. She could have been unique & better written.
& even though my below comment comes off as pretty negative... I actually DID enjoy the show. I laughed a lot and the chemistry/skinship was NO joke. I usually LOVE a cold CEO type character brought to warmth by a FL, but the way this show portrayed the ML's character was too "I have a multiple personality disorder" and not a gradual change/thawing that I usually see/prefer in this type of show. It was like day/night light-switch fast changes back and forth that may have been my "major" gripe with this show. <3
this show was good and enjoyable, but I agree it was messy messy with SO MUCH going on in one show. Was the writer…
The FL had a burn scar on her, right? They made a point to show it several times and make it seem like they leads had a "forgotten past" that they would eventually remember, but never did. Since the ML had a fire in his past he couldn't remember and she had a burn scar... it just seemed like that was what the writers were hinting at, but changed their minds??? Am I the only one who thought the little girl in the forest was going to end up being the FL? *shrugs*
this show was good and enjoyable, but I agree it was messy messy with SO MUCH going on in one show. Was the writer wishy washy on what type of drama he wanted to create so he just jammed it ALL into one? Possibly. Oh and one thing I wondered about... in a spoiler comment below.
I went to recommend something and then I looked at your list and realized you've seen most of the great ones!…
I've been feeling like I've "seen it all" HA! Thanks so much. I think all three of those are on my "plan to watch list" so I'll give them a try. The "battle" one first! :)
I don't think any other historical drama will EVER come close to being as amazing as this one. But... does anyone have any recommendations for great Chinese historicals that are somewhat similar or with even more romance & political or harem intrigue?
