Watched a few episodes out of boredom and too lazy to get up to change the drama. If you're looking for a high quality wuxia drama with depth to the plot. Then this isn't a wuxia drama for you. However, this show looks and feels more like a 'kamen rider' or 'super sentai' wuxia. Which doesn't bother me and I will eventually come back to watch more episodes when I am in the mood for this style of production.
Was spam downloading full dramas from KBS World when I came across this series. It's basically a 3 hour movie, in total. A good watch when it's raining outside and nothing else to do. It's nothing AMAZING but just a good comedic show when you're in a blah mood, so to speak. Keeps your mind off things you don't want to think about for awhile.
Started this series while doing cardio at the gym. While the main plot makes zero sense. The characters & romance in the series does such a good job at keeping you hooked & focused on those areas. You don't really pay much attention to the core plot. Other then that, I am finding it to be a fun/uplifting mood watch with a splash of solid action scenes.
Found his on the Kocowa channel via Amazon Prime when looking for a historical series to watch. I know this is something most people will glance over but the first 5-6 episodes? The kids do such an AMAZING job acting & setting the foundation for the series and their main counterparts. I'm always over analyzing things in shows, like background actors, child actors, studio sets, fingernails, teeth, makeup, etc, remove myself from feeling like I am watching something 'real' and ruin the show for myself. To where everything appears as a studio set and it's just people reading lines from a script, right in front of me. The child actors were solid and deserve a lot of credit. Now I am curious to see if any of them were in other shows since this was filmed, to have a fancy acting career. Being this was 17 years ago.
Started to make subs for this show. All of my subs are on my Profile > Feed section but only friends can see everything I sub. There is no paywall, this is just to make sure videos don't get removed if I set thing as public.
Finished making subtitles for episode 15-21. Will post details via my friend feed because anything public gets taken down after a week and then people keep messaging me that links are not working. I just like making subtitles & helping people watch shows. I don't do this to fix broken links. Cheers!
Watching this because I was looking for a romantic comedy. Both the FL and Female support are very pleasing on the eyes, which makes enduring the series a bit better when parts get boring. Only halfway through but there is a cute secondary couple, for those who enjoy the trope. Not sure how I feel about the romance between the leads because you could debate it's more like stockholm syndrome vs. 'true love'. Since the FL is being held against her will to stay with the ML. If she never was kidnapped and forced to be around him everyday. I doubt she would give him a few hours of her time.
I guess the only choice is to subscribe to Youku, but this is well worth it.
I watched 10 episodes today and truly enjoying each episode. Also a fan of the Dan Tuo character/actor. Curious if there will be a plot twist with his uncle. So far my rating is 9.5 and will all depend on the ending if it will be lower or higher as a final rating. 🤞
I'm used to seeing these plot type of dramas on Telemundo or BET+ with the females having a bit more meat on them. It also helps visually when they start beating their cheating husbands face in, while moving onto the homewrecker. While the series is decent for what I enjoy, it's just hard for me to take the FL so serious (with revenge) when she's very skinny and fragile looking.

I'm going to start making videos private and only posting on telegram because they're getting flagged and removed. Be sure to add me as a friend for updates.
For now used the English title 'Great Flame Mystery Records' when encoding them.
