i love this drama but i hate "childhood connection" plots too. that was the only downer for me. and she…
Ji Ah still stays on as secretary so I guess FL has a reduced workload as Ji Ah is there as a second assistant. But honestly, now that I am rewatching this drama again after so long I feel like it's lowkey kinda sad because in the end she didn't get to quit. Sure, she found love, she got married but in a way it's like she still didn't get to do what she wanted after all lol
I saw S1 after having that drama on hold for 5 years and it was soooo good, then i started S2 but you can see…
cyborg is a better word. when i got to that point my first thought was "is wu zhu shu a freaking AI bot??" cause that totally killed the vibe for me lol. but that made me think maybe the Divine Temple is really just a Tech Lab lol
Also I agree, the way Fan Xian was revealed to be the emperor's son in S1 and how many of the characters just quietly accepted that fact in S2 without some big reaction was a little underwhelming in my opinion.
this is one of those dramas that make you go "why didn't I watch this earlier?!" but you know what, I don't regret not watching this earlier because at least now I am able to watch this while in a headspace that allows me to actually absorb everything and take in all the details and enjoy this drama for the masterpiece that it is. this is definitely one of the best written chinese drama out there. and bonus point, I don't have to wait to watch season 2!
Thinking of starting this. I watched Legend of Zhang Hai, and someone recommended this to be as good. Anyone agrees?…
watch it please! omg, this drama is really good. and the main character? absolute chef's kiss. he's so smart and just so different from most mcs and the story is good. you won't regret watching it, trust me.
someone recommended me this drama saying it's good but seeing that episode count has me scratching my head. that's…
this drama truly did not disappoint...in being HORRENDOUSLY AWFUL. i was okay for the most part but amazingly it just got worse the nearer it was to the end and I was starting to lose my shit
Honestly, I think it is a natural development. I started watching Kdrama in 2005, I started to fall out of love…
I started watching around 2009-2010 and also stopped around 2014 but I guess to be fair, back then I wasn't a serial watcher. Also could be the fact that kdramas back then were much longer, more like daily soap operas. I started again around 2018 and the quality from when I stopped to when I picked it up again was vastly different. The later dramas I guess see more creativity but yes, you are right. The longer you watch, the more obvious the tropes get and it just gets really old really fast.
Why was this the golden era exactly, and is this like a genuinely widely accepted opinion or consensus or just…
I guess it's just my personal opinion. The way I see, people who started watching kdramas before / after 2020 will find many 2016-2017 dramas to be very popular classics.
average c-drama: super rich CEO ML and poor secretary FL or super smart, perfect ML and loser FL who can't get…
there's more to c-dramas than the average modern drama though. c-dramas are arguably better known for their costume dramas which has so much more to offer
Also I agree, the way Fan Xian was revealed to be the emperor's son in S1 and how many of the characters just quietly accepted that fact in S2 without some big reaction was a little underwhelming in my opinion.
