agree 100%

But I wish the drama matched that :-(

Lovely no?
I hope you are enjoying.

it's SUCH a mature script and story with very realistic situations

tell me about it!!!

Keep posting here ..
I'll keep checking.

I think I will go for a 3rd round in a couple of months.

LOL
Keep watching .. the drama didnt let me down even one teeny weeny bit.
It's one of the MOST COHERENTLY written characters and plots

Besides of course the brilliantly visualised scenes and acts ..
The camerawork and direction is phenomenal

Did you finish? Dropped?

SO nice to see someone watching this finally ... I thought no one would come to this drama page since it's an old drama and the theme and plot is too complex for many to sit through - heartbreaking aside

LOL

Yes there were so many moments I wanted to squish him like a bug.
But a fabulously well written and acted character.

LOL

Keep watching .. it'll get clearer.
It's 60 eps long followed by 12 more.
It took me 2 run throughs to savour it better .. the TERRIBLE subbing on Youku makes it WORSE (howling in despair)

BUT WARNING : you will find pinning reasons for the actions difficult; it will be difficult to sort the people or their motives in B&W in this drama.

That reminds me - Dr Romantic
Phew!!
Off the charts.
Then settled into a slow burn that added such flavour to the entire season

🙈🫣🤪

I found "Nevertheless" had a similar backward arc.

But the chemistry was explosive and the direction camerawork was stellar.

The wrap up was terribly rushed (as though the team was told to pack up immediately and end it 😱)

It was like the dish was removed before it was fully cooked.

Very annoying!!
I flick out my Google translate!!
Ufff

Zero Chemistry.
Plot Directionless.
Lifeless acting.
Plastic look of the show.
Dialogue? 💤💤💤💤

Dropped 🤢

Can't agree more with the rating
Pathetic!!

No subtitles yet!!!
Machine translator even in Youku!!!

So disappointed.

And as you said - this is such a "boring" actress.
She brought nothing to the role tfat would captivate us.
Thinking Bai Lou in this role.
Zhang Jing Yi.
Landy Li.
Jhou Ye.

Luo Jin is such a brilliant actor.

My fave from this list :
- Will Love in Spring

Would also add
- What If
- Tale of Rose
- Rising with the Wind
- Branded in Seongju

Starting the watch of Ideal City asap.
That's what brought me here.

I loved this FL in "I will Find You a Better Home" - incredible actress AND of course the shining actor Luo Jin

My fave from this list :
- Will Love in Spring
- Strong Girl Bong Soon

Would also add
- What If
- Tale of Rose
- Rising with the Wind
- Branded in Seongju

Starting the watch of Ideal City asap.
That's what brought me here.

I loved this FL in "I will Find You a Better Home" - incredible actress

I am going to start this soon.

From the MDL brief it may have themes or a vibe like :
- Rising with the Wind
- Branded in Seongju

Me too.
And I thought Empress Ki broke my heart.

I had HOWLED in that at the last episode.

THIS ONE IS EPIC TRAGIC : Shakespearean Tragedy .. The Crown Prince "Sanglan" ticks of all the characteristic of A Shakespearean Tragic Hero.

King Lear? Othello?
My goosebumps pop up each time I play back the last scene in my head.

Those who have been baptised by the following Chinese Period Dramas (or some Korean Saeguk) you may just turn tail and run off back into the woods look for tastier bounty.

- Joy of Life (wuxia)
- Joy of Peaceful Serendipity
- Royal Nirvana
- Empress Ki
- Bloody Heart
- The Red Sleeve
