It's only on my 2nd watch that ALL the characters and story came alive in its FULL SPECTACULAR dimension.
BUT yes one would need to be a hard core lover of "historical - political" movements that have defined civilization fitted into a fantasy genre that melds also religious - mythological movements in history plus exploring "heroes / fallen idols"
One would also need to enjoy complex character casts in multiple settings and regions and with various ideological settings and internal conflicts and demons..
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's a LOT. Sustaining interest would require an addict level of interest in such schema.
It's NOT GOT (don't know if you followed that) although roughly belongs in the genre.
GOT "may" have become a classic IMO had it continued in the mold of "deep" exploration as it did in its first 4 or so episodes. Terrible decline to popular "demand" - I suspect - made it drop to "cheap" thrills from Ep 5 - 8.

The second female is just as toxic as the first female lead. Both are narcissistic and egotistical females. Instead…
I haven't moved too much into the Drama (9 eps I think - following only of VIKI) with SO little time give to the SFL story .. have only seen dribbles of her and SML .. with hardly any scope of solid development yet.
MILD SPOILER-Y
Until Ep 9 I did not see her being "toxic" nor has their relationship even 'begun'.
He till now has come across as being able to hold his 'position' and is 'neutral' maintaining the 'student-teacher' level of engagement. While, she is doing her 'class bunking' - 'short-cutting' her way towards her goals and also looks at 'using' the 'teacher' to her advantage (as do ALL students who are ambitious) NOT by flaunting either an 'aegyo act' nor a 'feigned dumb eye stares' nor deploying any 'female charms' .. in fact quiet the opposite .. she is 'hard working and in fact quite un-bothered if she is stinky or badly dressed. She is even trying to 'bribe' her way into his good books (for a pass grade or better grade).
END OF SPOILER-Y
I know this drama has loaded a lot many more eps elsewhere but am not feeling THAT INTENSE a pull to go check it out at those other sites .. at the moment its just a side thing I'm checking out inbetween rewatching Arthdal Chronicles with friend ;-p
And how frustrating that they have SO LITTLE screen time devoted to them. I mean SERIOUSLY .. could we have had a stronger arc for them .. parallel .. AM tired and bored and annoyed by the leads arc (not because of the actors .. but the roles written for them)
I'm just going to finish it because i have wasted a lot of time here, otherwise the urge to drop this is so real...
🤣🤣🤣🤣💪🏽💪🏽
I so hear you.
Guess what.. I am ffding madly.. Sprinting.. To only see what's up with the SFL romance thread 😜
I have lost ALL interest in the main roles...
How did the director and Writer squeeze the blood out of the actors and make them into pallid - sanitized - cardboard characters playing in a straw framed structure that's so half baked / uncooked.
I came back to watch a few more eps. Such a stale plot!
Still can't wrap my head around : How did two of the best talents in the CDrama industry got pulled in to do these dull roles. 😭😭
I am watching it still!! Just out of "familiarity" of the two actors.. I guess I like looking at them. I guess I like remembering them in their earlier roles in their respective earlier dramas... I guess I am plucking the familiar expressions they are good at.
It's standard bread and butter story...a breakfast you've eaten - nothing exciting nor questionable or annoying.. It is as is. But deeply disappointing because I had marked this drama ever since it was announced 😭😭😭 I thought there would be a delight awaiting us at breakfast for a change - a surprise that lights up the eyes... Aaand!!! We get bread and butter.
At Ep 6 I am wondering if there will an exotic jam or some surprise chiffon feel crepe with some unexpected filling.
Any way I will go as far as I can with pity and respect rolled in one for CFY and SZ
😜💞
Oh BTW any one else digging Mr Qin? Denny Zhuang? And the SFL??
They are the breather in the show as of now. Am already rooting for them to have their own main role dramas...asap!!!!
I might actually watch All the 28 episodes pulled in by the second couple. The show BETTER NOT cheat us out of a passionate kiss between them.

Not seen them before and they are fun to watch 😍
I am wickedly gleeful that the terrible production team of director and Writer are at 7.8 rating.
They have completely dented the Rep and Talent of 2 stellar actors 🤦🏽♀️
I am dying of embarrassment on their behalf..
Is the first time I scrolled to ONLY see what happens to the SFL romance if there is any at all... Weirdly even that is like in tiny droplets.
Love loved loved loved so many on your list..
Especially THE TALE OF Rose
Stale is it's other name
I so hear you.

I loved your reaction "had to get a soju" ROFL
I LOVED the show too.
SO UNIQUE!!
So need to look beneath in the deeper waters and not discard at face value.
Thanks for the write up.
EXPRESSED my feelings so accurately too ..
I think whose who could see only the surface missed a CLASSIC ..
It's amongst my TOP of the Charts Drama.
