ikr, 🤣 I kinda can't argue with that part.

ty, I will. <3

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ!

Im Soo Jung RUINED search WWW. JUST WHY would you agree to do a "woman empowerment" drama opposite Jang Ki Yong, and then not be able to bring yourself to kiss him?!?!?!? He's hotter than a eucalyptus forest on fire omg. I guess nothing says 'female empowerment' like being afraid of a JKY kiss scene, smdh.

Excellent styling and cinematography too.

Same, for me Bai Lu is hit-or-miss. In this one I loved her though.

The FL in this one is AWFUL. Truly truly terrible. Normally I would say that it's not that she's a bad actress, it's that at that time she was a fairly new actress, and didn't have a lot of experience. But.... I've also seen 'Blood', which she did after she'd had plenty of acting experience, and it was honestly one of the worst dramas I've ever seen, and she was awful in that too. I heard she landed the BoF part after being voted "Prettiest face in Korea" or something, from an internet vote. So she was never chosen for her acting ability in the first place. They probably thought she could just learn on the job, but... imo she just wasn't cut out to be an actress. Her facial expressions, posture, hammy over-emotive acting... aiyaa.

Also, I watched BoF third. I watched Meteor Garden and Hana Yori Dango first, and this one afterwards. And I was disappointed in how they changed some aspects of the story that didn't need to be changed, for seemingly no reason whatsoever.

I love oldschool k-dramas and taiwanese dramas. But not this one.

I'm re-trying Rise of the Phoenixes rn, i'm on episode 4, it seems all right so far, the cinematography is so excellent.

yay! tysm, i'll give it a whirl.

I thought He Lan Dou was AWESOME in this... I walked away thinking I'd watch her again in anything she's in just to check out her acting, she's great.

It's sweet and fluffy, perfect pacing, hotter than flaming lava... and had a HE.

Excuse me waiter... there's a mass death in my soup.

Because almost everything about it sucked except Yu Ning who was miscast for this part anyways. I'm sure there's people here who don't want to hear that.... but for quite a few people who watched it.... it's true. That's just how we felt about it. Some of yall like your entertainment to make you cry and feel bad. The more it makes you cry, the better you rate it. But there's plenty of us who aren't like that.

There's also the fact that YuNing was intense and passionate as Hao Du, playing a very serious role, and here he's just the cucked comic foil of a "strong FL" who takes the piss out on him all the time, and it's not a part some of us wanted to see Yu Ning play. We were expecting more passion and gravity and chemistry and instead we got him doing this weird schtick that seems disingenuous considering what we know he's capable of.

I know the ones of us that didn't like it aren't really hanging out in the comments of this page, but on other pages we chat amongst ourselves and I'm not the only one who felt this way. We watched it, and we rated it low. But most aren't going to come in here to comment much on that because of the people up in here who are clearly upset that we didn't enjoy it like yall did.

No, this time I'm watching it all the way through for sure. I honestly have nothing better to do than just go with your recc. I just need SOMEthing. Our tastes ARE similar, at least in the Dark ML department. I'm doin it!!! LETSAGO

i know im impossible, lol... just letting you know this time I'm really going to get into it and watch this big ol 70-episode bastard just for you, because you're cool and there's no way you don't know what youre talking about when u recc something.

I figured, even if the hot RotP couple ends badly, I can always just come back here and rewatch SoKP again afterwards. By that time, I will have forgotten a lot and the rewatch will be fun :P

I tried it and dropped after 15 min, but I'm gonna try it again. Srsly, SoKP ruined me for other shows, this is nuts.

Trying To Get Over SoKP Diary
Day 17
So far I have tried Sparkle Love, Legend of Dugu, Rise of the Phoenixes, Lighter and Princess, A Journey to Love, and Fashion King. Nothing worked.
Today, I finished episode 19 of Lost You Forever and realized the hot pale-skinned morally gray vampy 9-headed demon guy will NOT be getting the girl in this one. My heart cannot handle 20 more episodes of this torture. Dropped it.

Now I am back on this page like a haunted soul, unable to forget....

Happy birthday!!!!

Mannnn I think I have to drop this because I'm shipping so hard for demon guy and it's just going to be a tragedy for them. I can't do this to myself with 20 episodes left to go. It'd just be torture for no reason. I'm not a love triangle or a tragic ending type of drama watcher. This show is written/produced/directed very well, but despite that I think I'm about to peace out. Even knowing from the beginning that demon guy isn't going to get the FL, I still fell way way too hard for him and ruined the show for myself.

TTEOTM? Or how bout FL from Game of Thrones. They both are the "protagonist" and they both try to kill basically everybody on the planet.

And yes, we need more ML's like this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
