I am not trying to hate here, I really wanted to love this drama (Lee Jun Ki and Shin Min Ah, what could go wrong?)…
I don't think anyone wants to spoil that here. I'll send you a message though lol. This ending really shouldn't be spoiled though, but I know how tough it is. You should give this drama another chance. It's too funny (in my opinion) to pass up.
I loved Cruel City 100times! Healer was a must for every Kdrama fan. The writing and acting there was excellent. And Bridal Mask was cool too. I have to check out Kurosagi though. I have good hopes for it seeing as it's grouped with my favourite shows.
You know there is something wrong with a drama when you want the bad guy to win over everyone else, want more screen time with him, and prefer to see him over any of the 'good guys'. It helps that he's hotter than everyone else too.
You also know something is wrong when you just can't get into the romance of the leads, or even care for their story and their mission. All I want to see is Gwi's pretty face and superb acting. All the ingredients for an excellent drama were there, but it was still truly bland.
Going through this after watching Prince of Lan Ling. I'm searching high and low for another romance like it, but alas.... none exists quite yet. Will be rewatching.
I dropped this. The reasons are entirely shallow - the main leads did not interact until ep4, and even then, minimally. The palace stuff took too much time and was boring. Also, there was a character who got too much screen time and irritated me.
I watched this because it has high ratings and was recommended on Prince of Lan Ling's page. This is nothing like Lan Ling, and in the first 7 episodes, nowhere near as romantic. I got bored waiting and frustrated trying to stick it out to see anything interesting. The only think I liked was how the character of Xin Yu grew stronger, but that was full of plot holes too.
Anyone can tell me which drama to watch after Prince of Lan Ling? I liked PLL because of the numerous and chem-tastic scenes between Lan Ling and Xu Wu. I need another historical Chinese drama that is just as romantic.
Is the ending sad? Like does one of the lover die? Cuz if one does, I don't wanna watch it. If one of the other…
I looked through all the comments to see who dies in the end. Thanks for writing yours. I'm watching it and I like that she will die. It makes it more poignant - Xu Wu and Lan Ling Wang will forever be in love and nothing can separate them, not even death and history. Cool. If 4th Prince had died alone then she would have been lonely, heartbroken and probably have to marry someone else. It's better this way.
Been thinking for days on if to watch this drama, if t was worth it, if it was too long, or too harsh on our OTP. Your review convinced me to give it a try. Thanks.
This was funny and sweet, yet had a dose of realism as well. And the fairytale ending is also present. This was good to watch for when you're feeling a little blue and down on love. The female cast approached the issue of love like strong women whom I can relate to in this modern society.
