She says buying a house is not important to her anymore because she knows what is more important.

Maybe more men should watch this drama, so that they can learn from it, just like Lin Kaiwen learning from reading Yao Jiajia's novels. XD

The Wu Xin (meaning no heart in Chinese) character in "Wu Xin The Monster Killer" literally has no heart. Here in this drama, Wu Xin is a Buddhist name, meaning non scheming (ie. a pure person). Notice the "xin" (heart) character has a double meaning, one is literal and the other is symbolic.

I don't really mind the low rating on the reviews as long as people point out why they don't like the drama. It is different when they rate something low just to promote another. That's illogical and childish.

No, different story, different character.

Yes, I thought so too! XD

I believe it is Unchained Love. The ML Wang Hedi becomes very famous after Love Between Fairy and Devil. Everyone watching Unchained Love comes to watch him and extol him like crazy. That drama (Unchained Love) is mediocre. When I pointed that out, I got attacked, and the fans told me, that show wasn't for me. See how vicious these fans can be. They are really losing their minds and don't allow criticisms. Terrible!

I don't know, is she supposed to be funny? I can't even smile at those scenes at all. The dialogue writing is just so predictable and mediocre.

Seems you're having more grievances than I am XD XD XD

Guess the other drama with a very well-followed actor comes on air, and the fans try to push this one down to bring that one up. At the moment, that drama receives a lot of criticisms. Nonetheless for this drama, having a score of 8.0 on Douban may mean a 9 or 9.5 on MDL, so I wouldn't be too bothered by the current score here :)

I think you may be right, that it's not my style. I believe it's also not for many people. Expect the rating to fall further. Even Hedi can't save it.

That said drama of Yang Mi gets only 5.8 on Douban, much lower score than many other dramas with little known actors. Rule of thumb: if you enjoy the drama, go ahead and give it a high rating no matter what others say. If you don't enjoy it, give it a low rating all you want. In the end, the truth will prevail.

Woah! You cannot call people bad apples for giving low rating. That's too extreme :)

Indeed, following your link, I read many viewers having similar issues as I do, that's a relief - at least I know I'm not the odd one :)

Thanks!

Yes, you say my words. That's how I feel about Yukee (lack of charisma) and how I watch dramas too - for the story, the characters and plots, and not for the actors.

I'm having problem right from the start. Killing of the concubines is supposed to be sad, serious and somber. And yet, it is made into a comedy. The FL almost dies but she acts as if that's not a big deal. I just cannot wrap my mind around this - what is going on? Luckily now the genre of this drama says it's a comedy, so I can take it that everything is just a joke, but it's not even funny.

Right (from your comments)! If the production wants to go that route and make it into a dark comedy, I wouldn't mind. This drama was not labeled as a comedy initially, so I took it as a serious type of drama and what I saw so far is so "dog blood".

Even the sweetest Lo Han Guo also doesn't help. The romance feels so "forced".
