Pretty damn well made for a short length. I didn't like the lack of kiss scenes, kilig, or actual romantic moments. Angst is high, chemistry is there. But no spice in this at all. I didn't like the ending.
Plot was strong, pacing was good. OST was a bit aggressive. 7.5
It's true that if you're the kind of person who unironically calls people "bozo crybabies", you actually might…
I have no comments for people who simply leave positive reviews. I Just have comments for people who put down other users solely for having a different opinion.
Great chemistry, great kiss scenes. Some good kilig moments. Plot is simple and really pared down to only its most basic elements, but the story is novel and creative. It could be fleshed out into a good regular length drama.
ML and FL are both kind of goofy-hot which I really like. No annoying characters. I give it a 7 because it's a solid watch, but I'm not rating it higher because it felt like they raced too fast through the story for it to be a truly enjoyable rewatch.... and because the drama is fluttery and sexy but a little teensy bit too tame. All it all, it was 'not bad'.
The drama was good and I’m glad I watched it. Both actors did a great job at delivering their roles but it was…
SHEN LI ROCKS I think you will have fun with it. Rare for such a good xianxia to have a true HE. So many big names do guest roles and cameos, it's really cool.
Ignore it - had to be done to pass censorship. Or you can interpret it as the modern day them 😬 hope you caught…
their 'official' excuse is that some young impressionable girls have killed themselves to try to reincarnate or something. But just personally, I highly doubt they are censoring huge productions over one or two suicides in a population of like a billion. I bet it's more to do with the politics of religion. CCP is very prickly about religion in their country. But that's just personal speculation on my part.
Me!! I love he yu so much there and he was great here too as furong. i hope he only gets bigger from now on
Me too, and he doesn't get to show it in LoSL, but goddddd he is such a good onscreen kisser wheww baby! He should totally have some more ML roles in the future. He has a really rare kind of sexy/cute.
The casting was so so good. The story was simple but well-paced and engaging. The OST matched the story really well and complimented it. It was of a higher caliber than most short-length c-dramas. It was spicy and sensual, the kiss scenes were not the best but they are very well done.
My biggest issue with this drama is I am very averse to crying, and unexpectedly this drama made me cry quite a bit. It was just so poignant. If you want something sexy, but also that moves you, this is your drama.
Although I didn't enjoy all the crying I did while watching this, and my personal score would probably be a 7 or 7.5.... I just can't in good conscience leave a rating so low for something that I can see objectively is so good. So I gave it an 8. This may be too simplistic to really compare to full length dramas, but for a short-length, it was really of a much higher quality than most.
It's insane how the first 30 episodes are like watching someone try to light a campfire with waterproof matches in the rain, and then by ep 39, it's a full-on out of control raging forest fire, and you're like "well, that escalated quickly".
i did! the actor who played furong is the male lead in that drama, right?! I kept thinking he is so familiar!
yep he is! It was so fun watching him in this after having seen MFB... he had me totally crackin up. I love his sly little side-glances, and that goofy way he runs.... and seeing him in "fisherman's face" was freakin hilarious, that was such a great scene <3
The story of the King of Chimei and Liu Yu was so unexpected, and made me cry. It was not what I expected at all.…
Normally with these kinds of side-stories, I get really frustrated like I'm being dragged unwillingly away from the main story. But not this time. It was a really good side-story and could easily make a drama in it's own right.... although I'd like to see a better ending for them.
