ML gets revenge. FL gets atonement.

Idk how you can say that after story of kunning palace, legend of shen li, and hidden love. C-dramas have always had their fair share of shit. But there are always many gems mixed in, and c-dramas are less afraid of taking risks, less afraid of going too dark, or too fluffy, or too batshit crazy.

As a whole, Kdramas have become less imaginative over time, more formulaic, and less substantive. I hope that trend changes because i love kdramas and wish there were more good ones coming out. I can watch 10 cdramas just waiting for one good kdrama to drop. Sure, 5 or 6 out of those 10 will be crap, but some are not bad at all.

5 times! 1 watch, and 4 rewatches ;P

Just for the general public who might happen to read this comment thread, i am enthusiastically against toot's ideal vision of relationship conduct and societal norms, and i am female. I love a man who pursues a woman and is willing to be a little bit aggressive, but this is with the caveat that a man should also have a competent EQ level, and should know when a woman is truly attracted to him, and when shes not, and should be able to read her facial cues and body language to know, and know when no means no. Which is easy enough for most men to judge instinctively... unless you are autistic, and cant read nonverbal cues. And need people to give you explicit instructions like a fuckin retard. In which case, you should only date other autists, who themselves are used to giving and recieving explicit directions like a retard. And you can have a happy retard-love together.

Non-retard men should go with their instincts, and be like Leo Yang, Yu Ning, Zo In Sung, Wallace Chung, He Yu or Yan Zi Xian.

If a man is so dumb he cant figure out when a woman is hot for him and when shes not, and needs flippin verbal directions, I'm not interested. Toot is spouting off a bunch of insane 3rd wave feminist liberal tiktok muh 51 genders metoo brainwash crap, imo. And theres women out there like me hoping men dont read toots crap and think all women are like that, because were not.

(And when i say 'retard', tis not because i dont know any autists and am a mean person. It is because my sibling and my bff are both autists, and i dont have any big problem with autist retarditry, and am just being brutally honest and not sugar coating anything, because i dont think autists need special treatment like delicate flowers.)

Ok just finished my 4th rewatch on kisskh, and this time i had to watch it on my tablet. The subs were fixed all the way up until like maybe the last 5? episodes. The cave scene was fine. Are the actually going through the show and fixing the subs or was it because inwatched on the tablet?

(Also, it was just as good as the last 4 watches, still worthy of my ONLY 10/ 10 ever.)

end of ep 10 or beginning of ep 11 icr...

Because the story and the actors are good and the budget is somewhat bigger than your average c-drama... so this is a production like Flower of Evil, or Rise of the Phoenixes that can afford to take itself seriously. The tone is meant to be dark and dramatic. The art director was the same one that did Eternal Love of Dream and Wolf. The director did ELOD, The Long Ballad, Starry Love, Blue Whisper, and Ashes of Love. I think this is his "darkest" drama yet, at least of the ones I've seen. But my point is the drama takes itself seriously because the people involved in making it are serious people who others generally take seriously.

I'd say if you don't like it after about 3-5 episodes then just drop. If you are intrigued, then stay and finish. It isn't for everyone. Those of us who like it, love it. But a lot of people have come through here who found it boring, annoying, frustrating, or toxic. And it's just a waste of 40 hours of your life you can't get back if you don't like it.

As for me, I am on my 4th rewatch, weew-hew!

Maybe its purposely ambiguous. The princess never develops a crush on any guy in the whole show. There are a few times in the beginning of the show where the look she gives Ning'er is really intense. And in the original timeline, when the Princess first meets her dressed as a boy, she gets a crush on her.

The only thing that would make me think she doesn't have a lesbian thing for Ning'er, is the fact that she's supportive of Ning's relationships and her emotions about men.

But I'm doing my 4th rewatch right now, and I'm only on ep 7. I'll pay more attention to the scenes with Ning and the princess, to see if maybe the director is trying to hide something deeper in the drama when it comes to that.

In i think episode 2 or 3, Ning recalls in a flashback that the first time she met the princess in the original timeline, she had snuck out of the house in boys clothes to see the lantern festival. While she was there, she happened upon the princess as her dress was accidentally catching on fire, and Ning put it out. The princess developed a crush on her, thinking she was a guy. When the princess found out she was a girl in disguise, she got mad and it set the two of them off on the wrong foot. That's why in that episode at first she says she doesn't want to go to the lantern festival at all.

This is probably where you're getting that from.

i hate it, i hope someone fixes that in the future, some of the best scenes are stomped on with that stupid crap.

Strange, cool plot. I was completely mesmerised by this drama all the way up till about the last 3-4 episodes, and then it kind of dropped off. The kisses and romance were decent, very decent.... but way too tame for me. In the end, I didn't enjoy this show ONLY because A) The ending was a little slapdash and some plot holes were implausible and B) Not enough romance. The ML and FL were firey together, they could have done a lot more with that pairing.

I gave it a 7.5 because since it skimps a bit on the romance, it doesn't meet my rewatch threshold, and I only give 8 and above to shows I'd rewatch. But this is a very very good one-time-watch.

It's literally the only reason to watch this thing. I just saw Enslaved By Love, the ML's acting blew me away, so now I'm watching all his stuff.

This is one of those c-dramas that falls into the "batshit crazy" category. But damn, that ML can ACT. He's phenomenal.

How would you characterize the actual romance part of it, and how would you describe the ML?

You're so funny, all the chicks are like "wahhhhh XW IS SO HOT" and you're like "Yeah, and the PLOT is good too." And we're like "Yeah yeah mkay whtvs BUT HES SO HOT THO" And you're like *sigh*...

I don't give a crap about the plot, except for insofar as it fuels the EPIC ROMANCE!!!

But, you're right the plot is good, it's good...

RotP has a shit ending! Sure sure the plot was good and the guy was hot like lava, and the acting was incredible. And maybe it had the most delicious costumes and settings I've ever seen in a drama. But the ROMANCE. Mkay. It just wasn't the same gaahhhh.

I need answers to this question (from all yall on this page, not just Arbaz.) I keep hearing people recc the Double and MJTY for SoKP lovers, because supposedly they have a similar feel. But what I want to know is, is the ROMANCE part similar for each of those? Are they like nuclear reactor level hot with an HE.

When you start it, just don't let the STUPID AF dog statue wreck the whole thing for you. You'll know what I mean when you see it. It is just about the ONLY thing wrong with this drama. Try to look past it, because everything else about this one rocks so much. Don't skip the little kid scenes at the beginning of the episodes TRUST ME.

Enslaved By Love is out, it's the best acting I've ever seen from him, and some of the best acting I've seen, period. The show itself is really messed up kind of the way Secret or My Lethal Man is messed up, but if you can hack the plot, my god his acting there is just out of this world good.

It was OK... I wouldn't call it great, but nothing about it outright sucked.

Well damn, when you put it like that... :P

Another Miss Oh is one of those where they think it's funny to put the FL in all these embarrassing and humiliating situations. And I don't think that kind of shit is funny, and it kills any "sexy" the show might have happening. So the kisses themselves are fiery, because Eric Mun can bring it. But the show has no fire or spice, at least not imo. So the kiss isn't silent-scream-awesome because the show it's embedded in wrecks the mood all over the place.

Que Sera Sera I would watch again. Another Miss Oh I wouldn't, not ever.
