@Filofretka I understand that some people avoid dramas if they don't like a particular actor or actress, and I respect that choice. But that's not my case. I watch any actor's dramas as long as they're good (even if I think the acting isnât great, Iâll still watch if the drama overall is good). If Iâm not mistaken, Iâve watched four dramas starring WXY, and I believe Iâve seen a drama starring the FL before, so thereâs no bias here.
I just felt that way about their relationship. If they were just partners in crime and not lovers, it wouldâve made more sense than her jumping from her marriage and trauma into another love story. But to be honest, common sense wasnât a recurring theme in this drama.
Anyway, Iâm glad you all enjoyed the drama! đ
That's your opinion, I respect it, but it won't change the fact that I personally felt no spark between the leads. Their intimate scenes felt forced and, at times, even cringe-worthy. You could disagree but It's my opinion and I stand by it ^^
See? You're making assumptions about me that are completely false. I've watched plenty of dramas with minimal or almost non-existent skinship, and the chemistry was still amazingâlike in *Love Like The Galaxy*, *Rise of the Phoenixes*, and *One and Only*, to name a few. Sorry to disappoint, but in this drama, I felt no spark between the leads. Their intimate scenes felt forced and, at times, even cringe-worthy.
First off, Douban isnât a reliable source. Chinese netizens are insufferable online people with nothing better…
I respect your opinion, but it doesnât change the fact that Douban is a far more reliable source for C-Dramas than MDL. Even actors, agencies and so on care about Douban ratings and reviewsâcan you say the same about MDL or IMDb? They couldn't care less.
Also, just to clarify: some people might freak out when they see a Douban score of 6.6, but itâs actually decent. It means the drama is good but not great and that's where I stand. It was a solid drama but didnât meet my high expectations when I saw the rating. Hopefully, that makes sense.
Iâm honestly puzzled by the 9 rating. To enjoy it, you basically have to turn your brain off; otherwise, youâll struggle. While the music, visuals, and acting were decent, the story had issues from the start, requiring mental gymnastics to continue. The pacing was off, some parts were slow and dragged out, I felt no spark between the leads. Surprisingly, the flashbacks of the FL with her husband were better than those with the Duke, which felt forced and often cringe. Finishing the drama was challengingâI had to watch some parts at 1.5x or 2x speed. I shouldâve checked Douban first, where it scored a 6.6. Had I done that, I probably wouldnât have set my expectations so high, only to be met with frustration and disappointment later on.
Wow, what an amazing drama with a truly inspiring plot! The female lead is a shining example of toxic feminism, and the male lead? Oh, just your average brainless simpânothing to see here!
I was honestly shocked that a writer actually crafted this masterpiece. But wait, when I checked the crew, there was no writer listed... so maybe that explains it!
And then there's Gulnazar. She's been gracing us with her presence in lead roles for eight years, starring in a dazzling 14 dramas, all of which were, letâs be honest, absolute gems (cue eye-roll).
Seriously, whatâs going on? Could she maybe, just maybe, pick a good script for once? If a talented young actress had taken this role, Iâd be mind-blown, but Gulnazar? The only excuse she has is if her agency forced her into this. Otherwise, well, let's just say she's not exactly doing herself any favors.
HAppy or sad ending anyone can spoil me? and wht abt the kissing scenes? plenty of it or few?
They butchered the ending in the drama, who knows why! Even the leads were surprised about the ending. By the way the ending of the novel was actually happy â¤ď¸
What a depressing ending! How will I recover from this? Iâm so sad. đđ˘đŠ
In the novel, when they left with the boat as discussed, she confessed her love, after they reached Shanghai, they lived their immortal lives happily â¤ď¸đ
Oh, I came here hoping to find the drama's release date, but instead I stumbled into NPC-ville where theyâre…
Dear user jini567 who replied to my comment then blocked me so it would look like I have no answer. When I got a notification and saw nothing I opened the tab in private window to witness your psychosis in full display, and here's my answer for you :
How original! Nothing screams confidence in your argument like shutting down the conversation before it even starts. But I get itâyouâve got to protect your narrative. Itâs easier to toss out wild accusations when you canât be challenged, right? Enjoy your echo chamber! Must be nice to always be right in a world where no one can disagree with you. And hey, if it makes you feel better to parade around your version of events, go for it. Just remember to pick up your clown shoes on the way out; wouldnât want you tripping over those facts you keep dodging!
Anyway, thanks for the laughsâwho knew delusion could be so entertaining?
Yes, it has been a while. We're now just waiting for the release date. Wu Lei is currently working on another movie called Dongji Island. Once he's finished with that, he'll be moving straight into filming The Decisive Moment. I heard he might start in August, but it really depends on how things progress with Dongji Island. We'll just have to wait and see!
Oh, heâs innocent, and the woman who falsely accused him got sentenced to eight months in prison with a stay…
In the summer of 2016, Lee Jin Wook was accused of sexual assault. He then counter-sued his accuser for making a false accusation. He was cleared of all charges in his own case in 2016. In 2017, his accuser was found not guilty of making a false accusation.
Lee Jin Wookâs side then appealed the verdict. On February 7, 2018, the court overturned the original verdict in the case of false accusation and sentenced the woman to eight months in prison with a stay of execution for two years.
The court stated, âIn order to determine if she can be sued for false accusation, we must first look at whether Oh was compelled or intimidated into sexual relations. It is difficult to completely eliminate the possibility that sexual relations took place against Ohâs inner wishes, but it is also not possible to say that oppressive tactics were used.â
The statement continued, âAs Oh has common sense, she likely knew the difference between sexual relations that one secretly does not want to engage in and r*pe that occurs with oppressive tactics. Therefore, Ohâs accusation against Lee is a false accusation that goes against objective truth.â
The court concluded, âSince this case did not occur with the intent of extorting money, we recommend a stay of execution to the sentence.â
***As far as I am concerned they did perfectly well, and she was lucky she didn't play the extortion card yet otherwise she would have been locked up and rightfully so
chill , no one is hating her because of her looks , just expressing their opinion my opinion is that she is overrated…
Oh, wow, thanks for the reminder that people are allowed to have opinions! I must've forgotten in my enthusiasm. But here's a fun fact: calling someone "overrated" doesnât exactly scream "just an opinion"âmore like an attempt at being edgy without actually contributing anything meaningful. But hey, if dismissing her talent as mere "opinion" helps you sleep at night, who am I to stand in the way of your comfort zone? Don't worry, your groundbreaking insight is safe here. đ

I tried several but they were awful đ
The novel ending was so beautiful, she confessed her love and they lived happily after â¤ď¸
