I much preferred Blossoms of Power (2026) https://kisskh.at/769787-dong-feng-xin Same FL, same voice actors for the leads, many actors re-used, etc. Here in Blossom I only really liked the first episode / hook.
I've been trying to get past episode 2 for three days now 😭 It's hard to stick with this show. The dialogue…
Later on the fight scenes only have the Fated Hearts problem of extras doing the left,right,left,right routine in the back but they're pretty solid overall. The first ones really aren't good, yeah.
This drama started really well...there was a small details that kept me thinking if i would continue...the prince…
I don't understand, why is it garbage writing that makes you quit? It's literally at the start of the first episode (at minute 4, then again at minute 7). Did it take you until ep 9 to notice it, or...?
Special Ep 37 is really good. One of the best special episodes I have seen. Doesn't fully explain the ending but kind of uhh implies some stuff I spose.
This was so disappointing that I wasted another hour and half of my life expressing why: https://kisskh.at/profile/luckz/review/603228 (At least, unlike the screenwriters, I didn't use any AI.)
tldr: boring/uneventful, poorly explained, laziest side characters ever at least none of the characters were actively annoying, they were just all totally pointless
I guess the car filming wasn't dreadful (typically is in China) and there weren't a thousand product adverts in every scene? that's just "the absence of more bad stuff" level praise though.
The Viki subtitles aren't that comprehensive either, with a lot of on-screen text being untranslated or very much abridged; but then again a few of those on-screen documents are just generic AI output.
I'm confused about whether I should watch it or not because I'm getting bored of watching step-siblings-to-lovers…
On the plus side they're never really committed to the sibling thing (internally, even if they act it externally), unlike say Go Ahead. On the negative side, it's like the most dragged out and boring of the step-sibling-incest shows.
I'm curious, does anyone enjoy watching this at 50 frames per second? It feels so telenovela-cheap to me. I tried it for the first episode, and beyond seeing FL's acting in an even better light (like: better microexpressions at more framerate) it's just eerie.

At least things keep happening in the plot.
Then at 4 minutes into episode 1, her soul took over the body of the princess who had just drowned.
I would have liked another rebirth with twin moons and whatever (and a cameo by a new actor) but it's pretty clearly the same ML.
(Her memories remain.)

Same "reborn, now overpowered" premise.
