I kind of see what you mean because in this one he has a quite similar character to Arsenal Military Academy, even doing similar expressions (like his signature apple eating), but in The Legends his character was very different. I have only watched these 3 drama with him so far, so I can only judge by these. Personally I think he could develop into a great actor if given more different characters. He seems to be better suited for emotional characters, I saw him on youtube in this show which is like a casting show about acting (I think it was called 演技派 ) and he was a guest actor/judge, he brought so much feeling into a one minute scene I was quite surprised. I am looking forward to see more roles, but I don't think I will check out all of his dramas.

oh so far I enjoyed the silliness and some of the fight scenes were awesome. I loved the little monk with the huge yes. haha
now that the angst is coming I am afraid I might skip a few scenes... I mean why did they have to bring in the stupid forced fiancé trope? But I do hope there will be more cool fight scenes.

haha I am watching at the moment but only around the middle, so I will not read your spoilers for now. ;)
OST is great - one of the few drama where I don't skip the intro and ending!
I am mainly watching for the visuals, I especially like their clothes, and because I wanted to see main couple as a couple after watching Arsenal Military Academy. ^^

very well said now I have so much sweetness and fluff for a good sleep. good night ^__^

I just have one thing to say: Will you finish that bloody drink???? and the cake ohmygod how could you leave that there every single damn time???!!

hahaha do you want to be kissed by a super handsome dude and get paid for it? nice for the guy too got a lot of smooching. xD

Kind of cliché story about Japanese office life and will they every get over that whole every episode has a lesson trope?... BUT every single roundhouse kick was worth it. xD like okay I could've watched a compilation of Nanao kicking people in the face, but it would have been way less meaningful.

"If you like American Idol on steroids" hahaha love your article and not only because of this part!
I first found out about Wang Yi Bo cause one of my Chinese friends really loves him - I think I like him for the same reason - for just being refreshing and real. but I honestly feel so bad for anyone who has to interview him, he is too honest and he can only get away with it because he is so talented and beautiful. ^^°

I started watching and couldn't stop. xD but actually I skipped a lot of scenes. I enjoy the story, I am just not that interested in the patriotic pathos and 'all Japanese are evil'-narrative. maybe it's because I am German and never learned to be patriotic, I do know the Japanese did a lot of terrible things in China, but carrying on the hate for generations does not help.

waa~ thanks for the article! Bai Lu is an absolute girl crush! I first saw her in Lucky's First Love and really enjoyed it. Now I am watching Legends mainly because of her, but I am wondering if I should watch Arsenal Military Academy, because of the time setting and overall military theme. Is it really worth watching?

hahaha I can relate so much. for me it's the 'on-hold'-list that's growing into unhealthy proportions. I always tell myself I'll get back to them - truth is some of them I haven't watched in YEARS! I think we should just be honest with ourselves and do the Marie Kondo: If it doesn't spark joy, just drop it. xD

Great article! I can feel how much you enjoyed the drama. :D You know I have been contemplating whether I should watch this for about a year now, but I am like you most of the time, too many episodes and I'm out. Now I think I might finally give it a try. :)

I think comedy can work well, I really liked Lee Se Young's zombie character in 'A Korean Odyssey', she cracked me up so many times. :D

me too I hate zombie movies, never watched 'The Walking Dead'! but I love when they take a comedy approach like 'Shaun of the dead' and 'Warm Bodies' was a fun movie, too. though I hope this will not lead to a romantic plot, cause after all a zombie is still a corpse. ^^°

same here! I usually avoid drama with more than 20 Episodes. but it was very enjoyable, I still recommend reading the novel first, cause then you might understand it better.

hey~ I am late to the party, but here I am. :D I considered watching last year when it came out, but then this kind of drama is not my taste normally. Despite it being 50 episodes I still felt it was very worth every minute, though I am glad I decided to read the novel first. Many things are easier to understand cause it's explained in much more detail and then of course the love story part is just so beautiful. And now I'm off to watch the special edition ~ lol

great article!! normally gifs make me nervous, but this time I took the time to watch all of them. I didn't think much of his acting, but when I saw his clips from 'I live alone' I really liked his attitude. I think variety show suits him much better than those weird drama roles.^^

thank you for writing this article! I just told a friend who only watches K-Drama about this whole new Genre and there is your article. :D
I stumbled upon O2O on youtube and really enjoyed the visuals, although I never played games myself I felt they did a pretty good job with the scenes in the game. then I watched Go Go Squid and was pretty amazed something like CTF existed and it seems a lot of money is being invested there.
It was interesting to see the opinion of an actual gamer! I think i might try Gank your heart, because it looks exciting and my Chinese friend is a total fan of Wang Yibo.^^°

haha love this article and congrats on winning a watch buddy! I never really tried to have someone watch with me cause I realized I feel a little uncomfortable with that. ^^° but I would love to have at least one of my friends to chat about the drama I am watching.
I once tried to get my bestie to read Manga, it worked for one Manga (Fushigi Yuugi), after finishing she never read one again. Well now I stopped reading too so I guess that's fine. xD
