I get that people like her, and you're totally entitled to that. But she overacted so much and was super unnatural. She didn't feel like a normal person. It felt like acting. Maybe she's gotten better since this or maybe this role in particular she just couldn't get into character. Idk but I didn't like her here.

Can I also just say how much I actually loved the SML? Not in a swoony omg I love him kind of way, but his character was so refreshing. Usually SMLs in sageuks are in love with the FL and they're these self-sacrificing guys. Not here...nope lmao he was a menace to our FL. He wasn't completely good or bad. He made me nervous. He was such a good character.

Any news? I'm smitten with PJH lately.

Wow...what a sageuk. It's been ages since I've watched one that ripped out my heart like this. A good historical usually leaves me with a pit in my stomach and man was I sick after this. It had a slow start but built up momentum and got better every episode. Not a perfect drama but it made me feel something, which dramas rarely do these days.

I'm not reading all that.
I'm happy for you though.
Or sorry that happened.

The trailer oh my god, they're actually going there lmao Taiwan is wild

Just...don't ruin it like they did A Love So Beautiful. That remake butchered everything charming about the original. I'm also very unsure about this FL. Tan Songyun isn't conventionally beautiful but that added to her portrayal of a quirky and funny little sister type character. This FL here is very beautiful and I've never seen her act in a way that is "weird" or out of the norm. Someone like Hyeri who portrayed Deokseon is who I pictured for the FL, but I hope I'm pleasantly surprised here. I'm also very curious who they're going to get for Zhang Xincheng's role. Imo he was the heart of the original, so I hope they get someone great.

He's great. If you haven't seen The Story of Ming Lan yet, you should definitely watch it. One of my favorite roles he's done.

There was a drama back in 2013 but it was campy and as much as I love Feng Shaofeng he wasn't right for the role lmao.

It was actually four years ago but basic math can be difficult for people such as yourself. Your comment makes no sense but that's because you don't have an actual rebuttal. Have fun talking to yourself.

I know the hype for him is already insane but he really is fantastic. One of the best 90's born actors imo.

Side Note:
I really wish the comments weren't flooded with links. It's getting ridiculous.

Your account was literally made a couple of days ago. Very believable that I'm not talking to just one person lmao. You're psychotic, dude. It's not normal to be so deranged over a celebrity. Get help.

It's highly rated on MDL (that doesn't mean much anymore though) and a xianxia which is a genre I love, that's why I watched it. How ridiculous to say "just don't watch it." Ignore bad writing and don't criticize simply because it's a drama? That's literally so stupid. There are plenty of dramas that are made by talented writers that don't have plot holes because they aren't lazy. With all of the praise this drama received I was hoping it would be one of those. It's not.

Only praise is allowed here though apparently. Critical thinking is off limits.

It was awful. I'm never going to be a contrarian again T_T

I'm not "making this drama look bad" by stating an opinion. I stand by everything I said. I see so many people saying "she was MEANT to be naive" as if that makes her any less irritating. It's also super gross that two grown men who act like grown men fall in love with someone who is mentally a 6 year old. I've been watching dramas for a really long time, I've seen many childish female leads. She is one of the worst.

The writing is objectively bad though. Any critical thought and so many plot points in this drama crumble.

You should look up the Lanling prince (not the drama lmao, but it is based on him). He was a general who supposedly had a beautiful and feminine face so he wore a mask like that.

Her voice doesn't change until like episode 30. It's grating almost the whole damn drama.

Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms/Eternal Love is the blueprint for this genre. A must-watch.

Forgive me but I must.

He had zero backstory and his love for the female lead felt incredibly forced. He had no depth, personality, character growth, or resolution. He existed purely for the sake of having a second male lead.

It had so much potential and the fanbase is so energetic but it doesn't live up to the hype.
