However IMO Revenge Stories well done have their own flavour and can be very addictive and delish too ..
TTEOTM LLTG The Double SOKP
were for me experiences equally, drama-wise, fulfilling .. What interests me the MOST is when drama can HOLD and deal with two opposing forces within the character as well as within the drama .. and inhabit a grey scale for ALL (leads and second leads).
Dream of Splendor for me was definitely NOT in the same league as FP is .. or the ones I mentioned above .. But I did find it exceptional with a degree of unpredictability in its core .. A very fresh sort of drama .. It's 'performance' scenes were superb!! Also had great production budget .. tastefully executed.
I think the long drawn out .. not that well nuanced 'comedic' element jarred a lot .. plus some of the ML saving FL situations .. However its excellent OTP relationship and romance was top notch.
I caught up with The Blossoming Love and didn't mean to get into this yet as there are other completed dramas…
I was parallel watching Moonlight Mystique .. before I decided to peek at FP .. That was riveting in the early several episodes .. But went slack and lost its tautness and fell flat (for me) .. so when I saw FP I was like --- ooo baby bring this on .. hook line and sinker .. am all immersed ..
I have put MM on hold .. (not sure if I will return again .. it's really lost so much of its elasticity .. and the story has lost its way I felt).
Li Xian has the most heart warming smile. I really love his smile and when he does his over dramatic fake display…

LMAO
I am laughing SO much each time he opens his tongue-in-cheek mouth to casually make comment or a repartee LOL So niice to be watching this sterling piece of work together ..
Who also thinks that the dialogues in this drama (especially between OTP) is BRILLIANT SPARKY WITTY - dense with intelligent repartee.
I love rewinding to watch it .. I bet the real mandarin version would be even richer .. we just get to read the subbed ones (which I must say I think is doing a great job too ;-p)
It's too delish .. and you have to wait 24 hours before you get your next two choco-bars
If this is a 2 season Drama with the next one slated for a year later ??!!
I have no idea how I will survive THAT wait
That dreaded moment when your heart is beating hard and then in rolls the scroll left to right (oh No!!)
After a long time a DRAMA that has me starving all day ..

Cant breathe!!!
It's SOOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!!
OH I WISH WISH WISH I had started this after it wrapped .. then this 24 hour torturous wait would be spared ...
This drama is breaking the charts for me.
Only L&P was able to do this level of damage to me.
I think you got me wrong.
I didn't at all say or mean that FP is a revenge drama.
Not at all - only the ones I listed are revenge dramas...
😅
Sorry maybe I was writing fast and didn't come across clearly what I meant to say.
But yes.. I DO enjoy a WELL EXECUTED and slickly written Revenge Drama - something that has some solid reasoning and play.
😱😱😱😱😱😱
💥💥💥💥💥💥
My heart skipped a beat!!!
Just started AND HAD to release the stress here.
How much better will this drama get???
I last I leapt out of my skin was in L&P (as well as to some extent in LLTG)
was planning to. have on ptw
I hear you ..
True ..
