SUNNY

I liked it because it was cute, light hearted and short! Short dramas are becoming extinct outside of Japan. Lol 8.5/10

Yes, Long Qing and her trained together since young even though he is the junior prince from the Yan Empire. The Xilin monestry people all wear the hooded black capes with the red lining. They worship light/Heavenly God/Hoa Tian. But, Long Qing is always in a white cape. He so extra!

Adding to ninan’s comments: Ye Hong Yue is the top competitor to Prince Long Ching in the monestery. He can’t beat her, but he gets more public attention because he’s pretty like his flowers. She’s very pretty, but deadly, if crossed. She takes no prisoners! Lol. The top monestry leader just made Sang Sang his disciple. So, all of them in the monestry is ranked below Sang Sang which is hilarious!

Sang Sang is perfectly casted. An actress in her 20’s that can play a ruddy faced 13 year old is rare. She will play an adult later, so she is doing great in her role.

NQ’s status became elite because of his accomplishments and his associations with people of high status including his masters Fu Zi and Yan Se, the Tang emperor and princess and his ability to beat Prince Long Qing and become the 13th disciple in the “2nd floor” of the academy add in his calligraphy abilities and he’s one of the top characters in the Tang kingdom.

Old school makjangs are the best!

She’s a self replicating alien robot that feels no pain and can never age or die! I’m guessing! She scares me. I’m glad I watched in broad daylight! Lol

I initially avoided this because the description and trailer felt like clichés. This is a drama you either love or hate after the first episode. I loved it and fast forwarded through some of the cringey parts and subpar, mostly comical, homemade blood effects. The actress playing Nanno is superb and a bit maniacal. She nailed the character with a maturity not typical for her age. It’s worth watching just for her parts. 8.5/10

I am here for Roy Chiu and fond memories of the Korean version of this drama.

Mo Shan Shan in the novel has a stronger personality especially when she confronted the old woman. She has more major events coming with NQ that brings them closer together, unfortunately. This is NQ first adult relationship because he doesn’t see Sang Sang as a woman as yet.

A really cute drama. The lead female character is refreshing, naive and slightly neurotic. This is all about family relationships. Worth watching. 8.5/10

You are so right! They are only missing the School, War, Time Travel and Identity Swap genres. It can still happen! I’m amazed that the drama is still watchable, even enjoyable.

They were separated about 6 months in the novel, if I recall correctly. That’s about 2 to 3 weeks in dramaland, maybe! Lol

I would almost kill to be at a casting party with the award winning professionals that make up the supporting cast! It’s rare to see so many in one project. The young leads are blessed, but, they hold their own. It’s a good balance and definitely worth watching a few times!

Fu Zi is no joke!

@BaeHelena— Be nice. Please, observe that your reply to my comment does not meet the criterium as described by you for what should be contained in a reply. Chill.

I thought the same. He is not a standard spoiled rich son. He seems to have feelings for her. So, the marriage was probably more than a business relationship for him. That’s sad for both of them.

Post scandal comeback actors like YEH rarely get top dramas to make a comeback. But, this one is ridiculous! It’s lost in a cliche and flashback maze with very little progress and more tear jerker events than the law allows! I doubt if this can be fixed. Sad because the actors deserve better.

The relationship between the lead characters work because they feel free to be themselves, especially the CEO, without being judged. The CEO has not smiled or shown any real emotions since her father became a politician. She has had no real friends since middle school when her mother got rid of them for being unfit. So, Bo Gum’s character who is free spirited, bold and always smiling is like heaven to her. It’s what she needs regardless of him being younger. He makes her relaxed, adventurous and happy. Everyone needs a little of that in their lives.

Perfect explanation!
