Just watched this one this month. I've been on a BL binge and finally saw this for the first time. Way below the quality of My School President and 1000 Stars which I watched after they came out.
Great chemistry with main leads but the other pairings are just decorations. They were pointless and uninteresting.
The original Chinese novel and drama and then the Korean adaptation were fictionalized accounts of real events and personalities in history about royal princes fighting for the throne. I wonder if Thais have similar events in their history and would the production actually base this drama on these events or will it be a fictional country and characters? That is knowing how they revere their monarchy there.
It was good until the finale episodes when the third rate writer wrote some outrageous scenes to get to the confrontation with the villain. Let's just say some main characters ended up with the most pointless and pathetic end because writer just couldn't come up with a better way to move the plot. WTF was that!
Shit story, zero chemistry and even shittier unwelcome 3rd wheel who acts like a body guard around the other ML. At least the first one in the series had good chemistry from the leads. This one is a fail in all aspects. If you are watching this because it looks like A Tale of 1000 Stars don't bother as this is not even half as good.
The little sob story they created to make that twat and serial murderer a pitiful person is not my cup of tea. What a pathetic story line trying to excuse her behavior.
How many more episodes are they going to dwell in this stupid misunderstanding? Not only it's start to drag now, it's irritating watching how stupid and emotional YCW has become with her idiotic investigations and conclusions.
I like the FL from her days acting in Yunxi and Ruyi but I didn’t like ML since L&R. I can finally say I have…
What a lousy and pathetic reason to not watch his dramas! Same nonsense and shallow comment I read all the time with Maggie Huang after Eternal Love or recently with Chen Du Ling.
Yang Cai Wei as played by the original actress was very convincing as a marginalized corpse collector who is practical, intelligent, sympathetic and charismatic character. The actress has to be commended. I'm not sensing any YCW vibes from the main FL who now plays her character. Sure she has to remain incognito and hide her mannerisms but she doesn't have the aura of the original character. It just looks to me like Shangguan Zhi was enlightened overnight, shed her villain persona and became a more agreeable character.
Best thing about this drama that probably made it very popular was there chemistry. Setting aside their constant bickering and fights, they are one of the best couples in dramaland to showcase palpable and realistic depiction of a couple in love.
I just recently started watching Hidden Love and I got to see why I lot of people are clamoring for Victor Ma to play this role again. He did extremely well and I dare say perfectly casted in this role. If not him then someone who share his aura of a tall, handsome and playful ML. I do like BJT and You Are My Hero is one of my favorite modern C-drama but for this one, I would have preferred the previous rumored leads SWL or ZLH. I think we can trust BJT though if he is really confirmed. I do have some reservations with ZRN as I have not heard good impressions of her and from the bits I have seen of her dramas, I am not interested nor the appetite to watch more of her.
