the actor playing his father is not a great actor, i hope he appears less and less. plus i hate him for in story reasons too

actually i have a bit more to add. if the actor can only give a good performance in a certain type of drama then i feel that in itself calls into question their abilities. like look at the male lead, from idol dramas to whatever, he always delivers. so even though im open to seeing her skills shine, she cannot be considered great at her craft if she has so little range.

that’s exciting and i look forward to seeing more of her skills!

this is my first li yi tong drama and she is so pretty and thats why Ive been drawn to her but her acting is realllllly disappointing so far. that said, not all roles need amazing actors and she seems well enough cast in this. the male lead i find the opposite of attractive and yet i can always count on him for a good acting performance. overall really into this, hoping it will impress me more later on cos im only 10 eps in.

i think this is a bit better than when destiny brings the demon, and worse than moonlight mystique (which is my fave) but ultimately this may be subjective. love all 3

interesting. ok so despite it being for different reasons than i mentioned, perhaps its a good call to wait for it to be done because its that bingable? thats very useful thank you!

ok so ive read through comments here and im REALLY skeptical this is gonna be for me. it seems that the female lead can come across as unlikable/irksome for some and some of you are discussing the chemistry as being very subtle which seems like it could never materialize. i think ill wait and see what the ratings/reviews are after its all done.

about to start this but i need someone to reassure me that the chemistry is there. because the female lead and male lead seem mismatched at first glance (from clips on social media).

ok dudes idk why some of you rated it low, this is fantastic for what it is. that said, is what it is isnt your thing maybe thats where the disconnect happened.

maaa the demon life is outclassing everything else when it comes to costumes.

32 eps in and idk why this is rated so low, its so so good.

this is EXACTLY my take! ml was the one that took me out of it a couple of times. but minor i still love it so much and second couple is a highlight

this is much better than i expected it to be from the rating. that said im only at the start

thats good to hear, that the present timeless isnt overall bleak!

im only 10eps in but its split in 2 timelines, college years and present day. it starts in present day and then soon switches to the beginning of their story. the beginning is more light but overall id still say this is a angsty show. present day scenes seem almost bleak.

ok pushed to ep 10 and its getting less tedious!

incredible, genuinely the main thing that kept me hooked at the start (since i was approaching cdrama burnout)

7 eps in and this is tedious. i think this type of storytelling isnt my thing. i rarely enjoy modern romances and one exception was The First Frost. i thought because its highly rated id enjoy this too. i might if i stick with it but i dont have the stamina to get over the current tediousness

yess

when it comes to romantic-ness, longging and angst, how does this compare to The First Frost?
