Wow ratings went downhill….shame since it was a good start. The plot started crashing when she returned home. Alot of the characters were unnecessary eg. Homeless friends or even the grandad. Too much screen were given in those departments yet the Leads barely had a background story. 😩 Villan backstory was showcased throughout the drama yet ML got non, so I can understand how viewers can emphasise to one and not the other…the mother even got more screen then the FL, got me feeling like the show was for the mum and her need to take the hero standpoint in every scene. 👀 Because the mother was in every plot & rescue, our FL slowly faded to just a girl with super-strength next to her as if she was a sidekick…..she was not dependable enough, constantly need saving nor completely reliable without her mother, hence her failure to wow the audience that were there to cheer for her as the strong FL.
There was just too many plot directions overwhelming the main storyline …the homeless romance, grandma romance, Mother and secret organisation, weak uncle & secretary romance, Bread, Pavel & even a villan romance … It was too much & a lot was unnecessary…those screen time should have been given to the leads to build a bond with their audience💁🏻♀️ It’s no wonder ppl couldn’t follow and eventually lost interest. I had high hopes for this writer since she wrote the 1st Strong-girl on screen but unfortunately this was a fail on her part.
why are historically dramas always the same man fs its so boring
Never seen a historical drama where FL marries another, gets kidnapped, sold, suspected of loose chasity yet ML saves her without a sec thought and never even care about what others thinks. This is a big step for historical dramas and I don’t see how anyone will think it’s the same as the others 🤷🏻♀️
This what happens when you reveal everything in the beginning, her powers weren’t special no more and climaxing early made the rest of the episodes a drag. I don’t know who played the mum but she must be related to the producers cause it felt like they put way too much attention on her and the FL is the side character. I cringe every time she takes off her bike helmet 😆 Sadly disappointing….terrible writing….not even gonna watch the last episode since I pretty much skipped through 5 episodes today in 20 mins.
Fang Ying actually escaped but had to hold killer's leg???😅😅😅 urmmmmmmm not convincing why her death…
Aggggrr yes! Lost .5 rating point because of this plot direction lol It was so unnecessary and the reason for it was so silly. Like whyyyy??? He didn’t even want to kill you lady and what was the point of stopping him? It’s not like he had anything or took any fake evidence with him 🫣 He just wanted to escape…..FL could have gotten him later.
-Smart ML…brilliant -Smart FL…..I literally rejoiced that she wasn’t gullible and helpless, definitely could be smarter but she was perfect for partnering up with ML. -Chemistry….great kissing scenes 👌🏼I usually don’t care as long as they don’t go around pecking like friends during an intense scene but they more than deliver and for once I’m here for it 😆 -Decent plot….a lot was predictable but still good. -Ending….it wasn’t rush nor prolonged enough but I’m happy with it.
It’s been a long while since I’ve really enjoyed a costume C-drama from start to end…..this was definitely well worth the watch!!!
How's the romance? Any love triangles? Happy ending?
Great chemistry…that’s saying alot coming from me….and major yes to the love triangle. She had serious feelings fpr 2 Male leads but 3 were in love with her.
I’m scanning the comments and I don’t think anyone has mentioned The Story of Ming Lan.Like you I’m a big…
Ahh it must be because this the longest I’ve communicated with someone in the comment section, I finally remembered a name in here lol…I’m in the same dilemma…scanning for good dramas is getting hard these days. I just signed up with iQIYI to see C-dramas on that aren’t big in this page. I found this page a few years back but I think it caters more towards K-dramas ratings & iQIYI is more C-dramas
I’m scanning the comments and I don’t think anyone has mentioned The Story of Ming Lan.Like you I’m a big…
Do you comment in the dramas you’ve seen? The more I see your name the more I think I’ve seen it in the comment section in some of the dramas I seen lol
I’m scanning the comments and I don’t think anyone has mentioned The Story of Ming Lan.Like you I’m a big…
Yes watch one after the other every time lol they are my go to 🤗 I haven’t finish this drama but if you are looking for something similar & you haven’t seen it then try Princess Agents. Same actress in Ming Lan which is why it popped in my head..but can’t remember everything exactly since it’s been years but I just know it was a really good watch & she was similar to this FL. Oh and I ment the Recommendation page on the drama page itself..at least the ones you like….it’s where I find a lot of my dramas lol
I am in my historical cdrama phase and this show was SO GOOD.I want to watch smart women FML like this.I dont…
I’m scanning the comments and I don’t think anyone has mentioned The Story of Ming Lan. Like you I’m a big fan of smart FL but across C-dramas & K-dramas this would be my favourite. Start is a bit slow but you will absolutely not regret it once you progress further into the drama. She’s scheming and on point with her perceptions & top that is the fact that ML is equally just as smart. Also if you click Recommendations on it’s page you’ll find that most dramas suggested there are all pretty good.
When do ML and FL get together? They both obviously like each other, but on what episode do they really act on…
Right lol wondered that too….2 yrs of living together and nothing but drunken kisses. Of course it’s not overly important when it comes to love but come-on writers….be a little realistic. Thought maybe they’re waiting for her to be the legal wife too but they got together right before that happened so it really didn’t make sense that they loved & accepted each other for so long, eat & live together yet never made it past kissing all those years 🤦🏻♀️
