Moonstruck

I forgot the last Kdrama I watched as I have been more interested in Cdramas lately. I felt Kdramas lost their touch, always you will see hyped trending dramas but when you watch them they end up boring.

I must say Queen of Tears has been a surprised. Please don't mind the people who say it is overrated and give it a chance. It is good but it is not perfect. I can name some other dramas that are better than this.
But what made it stand out is that it is reminiscent of the classic Kdrama vibes, back when they had addictive storylines and pacing. I guess for those who got tired and disappointed by the previous Kdrama releases, this was really a breath of fresh air. Ironic that it is nostalgic and yet felt new at the same time.

I must be crazy because a part of me feel for Eunsoong hahaha
In alternate dramas he's one of those obsessed, psychopathic, anti-hero, toxic MLs.

I'm on ep8, I just don't get why HyunWoo's assistant is cooperating with Yoon EunSoong. He doesn't seem to be a bad guy though and seems genuinely apologetic when caught. Did I miss something?

I'm only episode 2, I know I'm late to the party haha
I remember some weeks back I saw comments on clips that were upset ML seems too happy that she's dying, I thought it would bother me too. But it turns out I kinda understand ML. And I guess the biggest factor is that it hasn't sinked in yet to both of them. FL mentioned it so nonchalantly and never showed any signs of weakness, therefore, the idea of her dying still seems abstract to ML.
I dare say had FL broken down, no matter how deep ML's resentment is, he would have reacted differently too.

personally, not even Mark and Yaya can make me get hooked into this drama.
I'm dropping it, maybe I'll just wait till it finish airing for the overall consensus

ep 23 now. why is the Heavenly Lord so goofy lol He doesn't look authoritative at all. He's like one of those earth gnomes. If I were the enemy, I would also attack them, minus XingZhi they look weak af.

I'm on episode 20 now. I'm liking it, I've seen so many Xianxia over the years but this one finally captured the same vibes as TMOPB, although it doesn't have that angst and emotional impact (yet?). It's the kind of series where you will be annoyed about filler and world building scenes if you don't feel attached to it, but when you get hooked, you will appreciate even the little nonsense antics in the realms.

It's like a reimagined version of Dijun and BaiQian being a couple instead. But I do think ShenLi is more likeable than BaiQian. Dijun and XingZhi on the other hand are exactly the same.

it's a bit underwhelming for me.
I wish they had a better plot.
Or just a random thought, I wish Yaya and Mark do a remake of the Taiwanese drama Autumn Concerto.
They will be perfect.

ML's character reminds me a lot of Dijun, well I guess they kinda have the same standing in all realms.
Living the longest really makes one passive, bored and unbothered. And then they become playful when something peak their interest.
haha

I know he's an ancient god. I'm referring to his mortal age, how old was he supposed to be in ep1

hello, not too much spoiler pls as I'm only ep7.
But can somebody tell me how old is ML supposed to be in the beginning episode(his mortal age during that life)? I thought he was supposed to be 20 yr old based on the dried leaf logs. He seemed to have gotten really old before his mortal death, but it was said only 30yrs had passed in mortal realm. Did I misunderstood the age on the leaf? Or did ShenLi spend decades with him instead of only weeks?

ohh.reminds me of TMOPB when people complained that Mark Chao is not attractive to be YeHua, in the end everyone fell in love with how good of an actor he is.

guys, I need an honest opinion. Is this really good? I mean story wise.
Or is this getting hyped because the leads are top actors?
I'm in ep3, it's kinda okay but bit mundane and I'm not hooked yet.

I think he's one of the few actors that looks best when on costume drama and with long hair.

ep29. I guess it's a testament that the story itself is good because I'm still watching it even though there is still no hint of romance between the ML and FL.haha

is she really the father's fiancèe? cause that's ick. I hope it's only a pretend set-up.

ep 22 now. This show reminds me why I prefer anti-heroes. ZZ with his self-righteous ideals is so frustrating. He's like the kid in class who will remind the teacher that there is homework.

I would say this drama is definitely ahead of it's time.
I haven't started watching Queen of Tears yet, but based on some tiktok clips it reminded me of this drama.
The FL was made to look bad but secretly she had suffered on her own. And it was the lost of their baby that was the catalyst to them giving up on their marriage.

okay sure..but this was already shown even on ep1

another question. I'm still on ep20 so pls not too much spoiler if possible.
It seems YL rap*d her? The writing was great so far but I'm struggling to believe that Ning suffered no PTSD from the previous life. They highlighted XiWei's trauma from his childhood events so much and yet when Ning woke up in her 2nd life she showed no signs of terror with YL and yet she was scared of XW.
And did she lead YL on in the 1st life? Why was he so enraged to the point of sexual assault if they weren't even in a romantic relationship in the first place?
