You are generous!!
She needs to quit the industry 🤦🏽‍♀️🙄
Ugh!!!

Which sadist thought of casting this useless lady against a powerhouse like LYX.

You mean FL??

😂🤣😂🤣😂
More chemistry with his assistant?
I'd say more chemistry with his rock wall that he climbed so often in secret 😂😂

🤣 I just beyotched about her.
Poor LYX.

He must have taken a cold shower and roared at the top of his voice in frustration for having signed up with her.
Especially after Bai Lu.. 😂😂
I feel for him.

What a waste.

Yup.
I started and then quit.
The "wooden" worked only in the first scene because it needed her to look dispassionate.

And then she decided to carry that face with her throughout every single situation she faced 🙄

Goodness even when she's kissing in front of a houseful of guests.
When he's c caught her and told her to her face he knows.

Hello!!!!!

Just for her the Drama dropped a turd and fell to 5 / 10

I quit the show feeling deeeeep sympathy for LYX.
What a waste of talent and time on this woman who is anything but an actress.

I totally get why almost unanimous on this thread that she's curdled this show.

Eeeesh!!!

LYX!!!!!

How can someone (that too a man) be so reed thin, stick like and yet be so knee-jello, heartbreakingly good looking...the painful thinness of him!!!

He is unique - this bony length of cool suave and magnetism.

It worked SO SO damn well in TTEOTM.. And now I am seeing him in this.
He is also playing a role that seems to be physically weak and ill.
Suiting to the T.

I hope the show is good.
Enjoying the first episode.

Do I need to watch Season 1 to jump into Season 2?

Does the drama begin with some background?

I dropped AOS Season 1 .. Now that I learn that Season 2 has my old fave Naksu (in Ep 1 Season 1) is back in this I am keen to check it out.

I am familiar with all the characters since I watched almost 12-13 eps

Oh you put my faith back in AOS. (can I watch AOS season 2 without AOS Season 1??)

I just quit AOS season 1 at Ep 12/13

Just unbearable .. JSM for me sucked the energy out of the ENTIRE show!!
the story of which was turning out sooo good .. But that actress JUST didn't convince me , she turned wimpy and worse .. she had a reverse harem at her heels !!! SERIOUSLY!?

I had REALLY expected the sliding on ice dervish of a fiery bad ass Naksu original to return.

Bu her body was burnt .. Jees!

OK I admit I LOVE .. Bad Ass Red Flag Leads .. be they ML or FL ..
Serve me an SOKP or a TTEOTM any day ..

ROFL

For Me: It was JSM that spoilt the delish broth that was put on the slow simmer with great promise of a satiating dinner. And the Hong Sister's Script that failed to keep it moving along fast enough .. and convince us that those 3 men were mesmerised by Mu Deok.

ROFL ..

A die-hard "red flag" lead character lover .. be it ML or FL

I couldn't handle JSM in the role .. she busted the whole drama for me :-O
I LOVED the Naksu who slid across an Ice Lake .. the original Bad Ass female .. I thought she'd get back in her original body at some point in the show .. SIGH.

Quit at Ep 12/13

Oh ??
So maybe I should watch Season 2 and forget about the ugh taste of JSM in Season 1 ;-p

Is Naksu still bad ass? She is a different persona? No trace of JSM in her I hope ??

Please tell me.

I might need to go back and do my planned SOKP rewatch to be rid of the irritation AOS season 1 created.

LOL .. agree .. I watched until Ep 12-13 and quit.

After stunningly power driven shows like TTEOTM / SOKP / LLTG .. this was wimpy at best .. and IMHO .. it's the terrible casting decision to put JSM in it .. the Naksu power FL vanished with the original actress in Ep 1.
It needed a super talented actress to pull of a 'fiery angry vengeful persona' roiling inside a 'plain village gal' .. the aura that should have convinced the audience of the reverse hanrem chasing her (eye roll)

I could have lived with the Transmigration (soul shifting) part of the story as well as the mage sects, I found the cinematography / CGI very high quality as compared to many of the 'low budget, flowery, fake, plasticky CGI" of some of the Cdrama Xanxia / Wuxia genre.

What irked me the most is the ridiculous, unconvincingly knitted 'love' lines in the reverse harem of an actress like Jung So Min.
She started off pretty fine .. her character was sort of set OKAYish (have never been her fan) and then it all became weak and wimpish .. All the spunk was gone .. and became an energy suck in the otherwise well developing drama.

I just couldn't buy WHY THREE hot men were chasing her!! What happened to hierarchy of classes? Especially royalty vis a vis maid. Just shoddy development.

Inspite of the promising story OUTSIDE of JSM .. (how dearly I wished they had retained the original Naksu - fiery and flaming sexy flashing original Naksu actress .. she would be believable as someone who could have drawn the men around her).

Yeah I get it that she fell into a weak body of a lowly village gal .. but it needed a super talented actress who could 'play' the role of a 'plain' Jane fired up into someone mysteriously haunting and fiery .. because Naksu was inside her!!

Naksu dissolved into gooey muck in JSM .. The only time JSM radiated Naksu's fiery persona was when she flashed those 'blue eyes' and raged out of the brothel.

Kim Tae Ri, Bae Suzy, Han So Hee, Park So Dam, Park Bo Young come to mind as actresses who pack a punch .. and might have pulled off this TOUGH TOUGH role.

OK, so the MDL brief is written rough shod.

Half-bro and sis story build up is 'eeky - yucky' as a romance tale .. especially if the whole 'hunt for bro' is set up; and half the story has them thinking they are siblings and still getting romantic frisson.
Eeywu!!

The only way this story will stay interesting and untroubled by incestuous tones is if BOTH the children are shown to have become aware that THEY WERE NOT related by blood when they are still children, just at the time that Hong Rang disappears.

The mistaken sibling identity turning hot and heavy for each other is kinda trope that seems so popular in KDrama .. Have seen many like that ..

Instant DROP or NOT INTERESTED category for me.

UNLESS it's clear for BOTH parties when they are still very little that they aren't related.

209 / 686 X 100 = 30.5%

:-D

That's the true math.

BUT that's not the issue here.
You misunderstood my comment, it was not meant as a slight nor to mock.

I was looking through how people interpreted AOS and how they rated it.

When I find a comment that seems to interest me (I had quit AOS in my first round - long ago - at around Ep 8 and was rethinking if I should go back and watch it now) I sometimes go check if we have any common overlaps and what shows were really liked and rated 10/10 by them.

Yes agree it's my half-glance, and not scrolling down fully, that made me miss the fact that you are INDEED a SEONBAE in DramaLand with 686 shows under your belt.
If I had I'd not have thought that 30% shows with 10/10 is odd ..

I genuinely misread it as a glitch.

Apologies that you were upset.

p.s. I quit AOS around Ep 13 or so. So looks like we have a match in that :-)

For Ni Ni watch "Rise of the Phoenixes" ;-p

You'll also discover Chen Kun .. Powerful actor .. also in Win the Future, with an actress whose hotness scale is like Ni Ni in Parallel World (I just watched the trailer)

oops you need to put a spoiler tag :-O

oops I did an edited response .. looks like the old response stays online even as I am editing the old one ;-p
Maybe you'll read the full edited version ;-p
