This is what happens when a girlboss lawyer refuses to stay down, no matter who tries to bury her.
Why Her? follows Oh Soo Jae — a brilliant lawyer turned professor — as she fights corruption, old secrets, and questionable romance.Disclaimer: This review is 100% my opinion — I’m not here to hate, just to share my thoughts! Also, SPOILERS AHEAD, so proceed with caution if you haven’t watched yet. Watch it, come back and let’s see if you agree. Let’s keep the discussion respectful and fun! 💕
The Good
A Plot That Actually Held Up in Court
For a 16-episode legal drama with revenge, corruption, murder, and romance, it never lost momentum. The pacing had purpose, and every episode gave just enough to keep you hooked without tipping its hand too soon. When a drama leans into its own complexity and still keeps the viewer locked in? That’s not just good writing, it’s a rare achievement.
Oh Soo Jae Was That Girl
From the very first scene, Soo Jae walked in like the building owed her rent. Calculated, sharp, emotionally armored and yet still deeply human. Whether she was wiping blood off her face, shutting down political pawns, or casually threatening billionaires, she never lost control.
Every Thread Wove the Same Tapestry
You have to respect a writer who remembers their own plot. The fact that Jin Ki’s daughter, Chan’s sister, the three spoiled sons, Se Pil, Hansu Bio — literally everything — tied back into the main plot was so satisfying. Every loose end got resolved, every puzzle piece snapped into place. And let’s be honest, the only unanswered question was what we’re supposed to do with ourselves now that it’s over. And honestly? I’m okay with that.
The Bad
Oh Soo Jae: Girlboss… or Loyal Employee #457?
Let’s talk about that ending. After years of enduring Tae Kook’s manipulation, betrayal, and literal criminal coverups, Oh Soo Jae’s “final form” was a small firm and a university classroom? Sure, peace over power is valid, but it felt like she settled more than she triumphed. She walked straight into the lion’s den, vowed revenge, and then quietly filed paperwork for ten years instead. She spent years doing every vile thing he ordered her to do, only for it to amount to… basically nothing.
What made it worse was the irony: she called Jin Ki out for his decade of silence while doing the exact same thing. Like he literally faked her child’s death. Hello?
Chan: Boundary Issues in a Cinnamon Roll Wrapper
There’s persistent, and then there’s Gong Chan. Every time he showed up uninvited, declared he was sleeping at her house, or forced his “support” during trauma cooldown moments, I couldn’t help but cringe. Soo Jae repeatedly told him he was crossing the line, yet he kept vaulting over it like it wasn’t even painted. It gave strong “I know what’s best for you even though you said no” energy.
He didn’t respect her boundaries, and while Soo Jae eventually let him in, it doesn’t erase the manipulative undertone and the fact that he took advantage of every crisis. I just couldn’t stand how persistent and boundary-stomping he was and how the show expected us to swoon over it.
How Was Everyone Okay With The Teacher-Student Thing?
Let’s be blunt: it’s not just about age. It’s about power dynamics. Soo Jae was his professor. He called her “Ms. Oh.” She graded his papers. And she kissed him before midterms. That alone should have been enough for HR intervention or, at the very least, a serious conversation.
Jae Yi’s Death Felt Emotionally Manipulative
Why did Jae Yi have to die? I’m still irritated about it. That plot twist did nothing except slap Soo Jae with extra pain for shock value. Either the baby should’ve stayed dead at birth, or Jae Yi should’ve stayed alive. Pick one.
Having her survive just so she could get hit by a truck out of nowhere was so unnecessary; especially since the accident itself made no sense. She looked both ways. It was a quiet road. The truck should’ve seen her from a mile away. Why did no one see it until the last second? The whole thing was tragic for no good reason, and it honestly knocked the show down to an 8/10 for me. Sometimes sad for the sake of sad just feels cheap and this was one of those times.
Chan’s Cellmates: Friendship by Vibes Only
Let’s break this down: Chan was in prison for allegedly murdering his own sister. So when two older cellmates decided to befriend him and help him build a new life… how did they just know he didn’t do it? I mean we know he didn’t do it, but without knowing, how would you know? The evidence was mounting and he even said he did it during the prison tussle he got into. So what made them stop and think “I know he said he did it and all the evidence points to him, but I just know he didn’t do it”..? We got no backstory, no heart-to-heart, no “we’ve seen injustice before” bonding moment, just instant loyalty.
Money Is a Real Villain and That’s the Scariest Part
Honestly? The show felt almost too real in its depiction of elite corruption. What’s wild is that if you swapped out the names for real-life companies and politicians, you wouldn’t even blink. Coverups, false trials, bribery, buried evidence—it’s horrifying how plausible all of it is. The only thing that broke realism? That the rich people actually got exposed. Because in real life, they don’t always get courtroom monologues and public shame. They get settlements, NDAs, promotions, and vacations.
Justice Had Great Lighting, But No Teeth
I think what disappointed me most about the ending, besides Soo Jae’s half-baked “happy” ending, was that justice didn’t even feel properly served. When Tae Kook died, it wasn’t satisfying. It wasn’t earned. It was a sudden exit-stage-left that robbed the audience of watching him feel the consequences.
And what happened to the rest of the villains? Chairman Seong Beom? Hansu Bio? Assemblyman In Soo? The show hinted they’d face fallout but never showed it. So yeah, the ending didn’t hit nearly as hard as it could have, and it felt like it skipped the final chapter just to give Gong Chan and Soo Jae their umbrella moment. Cute. But not enough for a show this good.
Final Thoughts
This show was a near masterpiece, in my opinion. I was hooked from the second I hit play. With Oh Soo Jae being an absolute icon and the crime twist keeping every episode tense, what wasn’t to love? Even when I reached the end, the parts that annoyed me didn’t ruin the experience.
And honestly? If a drama can keep me glued to the screen, not drag things out just to hit 16 episodes, and give me a female lawyer lead who chews men up and spits them out, then I’m not complaining. Well, not too much.
Next time, just keep the student crushes out of the syllabus and we’re good.
~~~
What did you think of this show? It’s still one of my favourites despite its issues. If I choose to watch a show more than once, you know it’s a fav!
Did you like the relationship between Oh Soo Jae and Gong Chan or are you normal? Joking, you’re great 😉
Was this review helpful to you?
A very simple story, cliché and predictable but still done well, the two leads were great, I loved them both separately and I get excited whenever two of my favourites acts together, they were very comfortable with each other and the chemistry was fantastic.
The story was too romantic, with little drama and no evil characters, or at least the antagonists were not extreme.
However the story seemed a little redundant, but still because it was enjoyable I have nothing to complain about, just watching the two leads having a very normal moments isn't bad.
Overall very lovely, the FL is adorable and cute.
Recommended if you want something light ~~

You know what you are watching!
First of all, am not claiming that this is the best drama or anything. There are many things which i didnt like about this series but... you guys knew what you were watching. Am relatively new to k-dramas, i am mainly a bl watcher, but i wanted to watch something different to expand my taste. I exclusively typed into google that i wanted to watch an office drama. And this popped up. I read the premise of the show and i knew what i was going to watch and somewhat knew what the story is gonna be like. So i am confused about the reviews saying that its just another business drama/rich guy-poor girl/cliche.. and bla bla bla. You knew what you were gonna get. Like, you picked the show and you read what its gonna be about. I dont understand people who are complaining that its about a poor girl and a rich guy when you literally read it in the description of the damn show.But... bl and kdramas are a bit different but and the end of the day, its a tv show. So from what ive seen it wasnt the worst. The comedy aspect of the show was actually really good. Yes, there were times where i cringed but there were far more times where i literally visible laughed. The cliches were there, but i think it was more in a sense of making fun of the cliches and it being like that on purpose . I think its different when shows are cliche and cringe and they dont know about it and when they do. Because when they do, it can actually be fun.
The only thing i will say that i really didnt like, was the end. Sure, he proposed, it was a happy ending...but it fell flat for me. I really didnt get why he had to leave to America in the like the last 15 minutes of the whole series and then the scandal about dating 5 minutes before end. There was no closure for me and it didnt leave any emotions in me just like "Oh, thats it."
There were more things which i liked and didnt like but i dont think that they are that important to point out. Theres always gonna be something what ill not like because i watched too many dramas xd. I learned how to not be so negative and just enjoy what i am watching. I am not saying we should not be critical and lower our standards but not everything is as horrible and urgent as you may think.

I don’t know about the love, but my thoughts about this show can barely be translated
Sometimes I feel like k-drama screenwriters blindly shoot at a concept board of niche ideas and then try to connect the dots between everything they landed on so that it makes sense. This drama takes the cake in this regard: it could have carefully and purposefully explored cheating, unrequited love, family and medical trauma, sudden rise to fame, delusional disorders, miscommunication regardless of language, the inner conflict between jealousy and professionalism, I could go on. But it didn’t: all of these topics were discussed on a surface level, and the introduction of every next plot element felt like a whiplash. I could get on board with the almost fantasy-like depiction of Muhee’s hallucinations in the first half of the show, but even they felt like a betrayal to me as a viewer, since I went into this expecting to watch a “realistic” romantic comedy. From episode 7 onwards, however, it was simply a mess: the genre switched, new ideas kept appearing, we learned so much about the characters that we simply didn’t need to know, and the conflicts already laid out barely got a satisfying resolution.The main premise - the reality format “Romantic trip” and Muhee falling for the interpreter in her ear instead of the Japanese actor she is going on dates with - is lovely. I think the show did a good job of exploring the relationship between language and love, but it could’ve gone even deeper. What are the constraints of Muhee and Hiro not speaking each other’s language when it comes to developing feelings? What misunderstandings can happen even if she and Joo Hojin can communicate freely? The message of “there are as many languages as people” is beautiful and I think the show missed out on not fleshing it out even further. In this line of thought, I wish we had seen more of Muhee and Hiro’s relationship, or at least understood why he ends up falling so hard for her despite her rejecting him all throughout the show, never bothering to learn to speak his language and going from 0 to 100 for no reason (at least from his perspective). I assume the show didn’t go in this direction to avoid setting up a love triangle like it appeared it would in the initial episodes, but I think simply seeing more of the filming process would’ve provided much needed context for both Hiro AND Hojin’s feelings towards Muhee. (Also, I self-indulgingly wish I’d seen much more of Hojin’s struggle to interpret Hiro’s growing fondness towards Muhee).
The biggest flaw of the show is definitely Do Rami in those middle three or four episodes. The motives behind her actions did not make any sense to me at all, even when one accounts for Muhee’s childhood trauma, negative self-talk and avoidant tendencies. On the one hand, Rami was there to push Muhee to do things she otherwise wouldn’t (that could bring her happiness), on the other, she was simply sabotaging her. The episodes where Rami was in the spotlight were incredibly frustrating to watch and did not manage to achieve the desired effect of her acting as an interpreter between Muhee and Hojin. Not to mention that, as far as I know, that’s not the way dissociative identity disorder functions: other personalities don’t simply disappear once their protective (or chaos-stirring, according to this drama) role is fulfilled. Muhee’s mental problems were not researched with the care needed to portray conditions surrounded by so much misinformation already. I wish the show had simply focused on her audiovisual hallucinations and how they affect her work on set and relationships with the crew. It could’ve even touched upon medical neglect instead, since one of the psychiatrists in the beginning did say her problems are “beyond medicine” (in the subtitles I read). Anything would’ve made more sense than what ended up in the script.
I hated that the main recurring conflict was between the leads and their mutual backing off from confessing/committing to each other, when it would’ve been way more heartwarming and meaningful to show them sticking together despite everything and navigating any misunderstandings by learning more about each other’s pasts and minds. I would’ve loved, for instance, a bigger focus on their family histories in a way that actually contributes to understanding how they act. What did Hojin’s shaky relationship with his mom bring to the plot? Absolutely nothing, it tied to nothing else and contextualised none of his behaviors or beliefs. What about his novel? Was that the only way to write a(n unnecessary) conflict between him and his mom, something to mention on two occasions and then never again? And why did we barely get to see anything about his relationship with his brother, the one who was supposed to marry his long-time unrequited crush Jiseon? Wouldn’t a conflict there have been much more productive in the grand scheme of things?
Genuinely, the vagueness of the show regarding so many of its central elements has to be where everything falls flat. Because we never really understand why Hojin was so hung up on Jiseon, or why she came together with his brother to begin with. It is never explained how Muhee’s uncle and aunt mistreated her, and the big reveal in the end regarding her family had 0 emotional impact and felt like an afterthought simply added to the script to explain Do Rami’s presence from a couple of episodes ago. These random lore drops that were barely explored felt like the screenwriters were exceptionally proud of a brainstorming session and wanted to include everything they'd come up with about all characters, regardless if it actually contributes to the show.
But at the end of the day, I mostly enjoyed watching this drama. The event-packed plot prevented me from taking breaks even when I was endlessly frustrated, and the acting was truly exceptional to the point where it distracted me from… everything else. I wouldn’t Not recommend it - just be prepared for disappointment, especially if you’re expecting a romantic comedy like I did.

L'amore in teoria dovrebbe migliorarti
Questo è un po' il senso di questa storia, l'amore dovrebbe poterti rendere migliore e invece non sempre lo fa. Alcune volte addirittura ti rende peggiore di quello che sei e poi guarire diventa difficile, complesso e bisogna fare molti sforzi. Alcune volte per guarire bisogna prendere una strada lunga, molto lunga, e su quella strada molto spesso succede che le persona che si incontrano sono quelle che migliorano la vita e che ti mettono nella condizione di cambiare. Anche se avrei preferito che il personaggio di Dew non si mettesse assieme alla fine, sono contanta che sia stato mostrato il cambiamento che ha fatto e che sta continuando. Diciamo che poi sono felice per il mio amore Cliize che abbia avuto questo ruolo, un po' di fantasma dell'amore passato, di quell'amore che ahimè non ha migliorato nessuno dei due protagonisti. Anche se non è la mia storia preferita di MTL devo dire che sono proprio contenta degli insegnamenti che regala questa serie.Was this review helpful to you?

The more i rewatch it the better it gets
I found this drama after watching Star and Sky. Initially i skipped it cz the poster gave serious vibes but then i saw edits on style and cz i loved JD From SnS i gave this a go only for them and I loved it. The 1st time i watched it ngl i skipped all FirstKhao scenes cz i didn't find their story interesting n was not much into their pairing. O was here for FadelStyle. People in the comments say Dunk sucked as Style but i totally disagree. He's the most perfect style we can get. His character is a mechanic he's supposed to be a little rough round the edges but also he's supposed to be a little feminine abd beautiful which dunk delivered. I feel this is probably the most beautiful dunk character I've seen off the 4 dramas. His acting had definitely improved when compared to SnS i liked every bit of FadelStyle. I might be too emotional but i cried when Style tries to stop Fadel from killing people indirectly, the way he handles the ex's death, them talking about being burried together and when he followed fadel knowing he was gonna die, n when he cried in that hotel😭. Style is probably the greenest bottom I've seen in the history of BL. He's kinda cocky and weird but he loved Fadel a lot❤️. The drama was just soo beautiful and perfect.Months later i just had an urge to rewatch this gem obviously for FadelStyle but also cz we dont have many dramas with this kinda plot where it involves mafia and hitmen but is also comical and romantic and also cz now i also was into FirstKhao ship and this time i rewatched the whole thing without skipping and i loved it even more. I think a drama deserves a 10 if you're going back to rewatch it. So I'm gonna give it a 10 cz ik im gonna be rewatching it over and over again.

A gripping journey to love, friendship, and growth
From the very beginning, the dynamic between the male lead and female lead is powerful and captivating. They are truly “power couple” coded. Their relationship is not only about romance, but about partnership, loyalty, and mutual respect. They fight side by side, protect each other, and grow together. What I loved most is that they are lovers, but also trusted companions, and that balance is rare to see done this well.The Liu Dao Hall gang brings so much life into the story. Their scenes mix humor with seriousness perfectly, making the drama engaging without breaking the tension. The supporting cast is strong overall. Some characters are louder and more memorable, while others are more low key, but none feel wasted. A few annoying characters appear, like Li Tong Guang, who is probably the most irritating one, but thankfully they never dominate the plot to the point of ruining the experience.
This was my first drama with Liu Yu Ning as a male lead, and he impressed me a lot. He carries both strength and emotional depth naturally. The entire cast performs well, but He Lan Dou as Princess Yang Ying deserves special praise. She completely immersed herself in the role. Unlike many cross dressed characters in C-dramas, she actually felt believable as a prince. Watching her grow from a timid, crying girl into a composed, calculating, and confident leader was refreshing and very well acted.
The female lead is the strongest presence in the drama. She is badass, intelligent, and independent. She does not need a man to save her. Ironically, she is the one who boldly chooses a man for her own purpose and ends up genuinely falling in love. Her strength never takes away from her emotions, and that balance makes her character very attractive to watch.
Ability-wise, we can say they're the the birds of a feather that flock together.
Equally strong and smart leads
Very mature and healthy relationship between the leads
COMEDY
Intense fight scenes
A group of likeable characters with their heartening/ inspirational relationship
The plot stays interesting from start to finish. There are several love stories happening, but romance never overshadows the main story. Loyalty is the core theme of this drama. Loyalty to one’s mission, companions, family, and love. Every character is driven by something meaningful, which makes their choices feel heavy and real.
Everything about this drama felt top notch to me, from the cinematography to the acting and character writing. Even the side characters and bit roles are handled with care. I watched this at the start of last year and waited a long time to write a review, but even after almost a year, I do not want to change my rating. For me, this is a near perfect drama.
It was also my first experience with a drama that has a sad ending, and surprisingly, it built my immunity for SE dramas. I still enjoyed every part of the journey without feeling betrayed by the story. The ending hurt, but it made sense emotionally, and that is why it stayed with me instead of disappointing me.
A Journey to You is not just about romance or action. It is about loyalty, growth, companionship, and choosing each other even when the world is cruel. It left a strong impression on me, and it is one of those dramas that you remember long after finishing.
Who Should Watch
Viewers who love strong, intelligent, independent female leads.
Those who enjoy power couple dynamics and partnership romance.
Fans of wuxia, political intrigue, found family, and loyalty driven stories.
People who appreciate layered characters and emotional storytelling.
Viewers who do not mind a meaningful sad ending.
Who Should Avoid
Those who only want fluffy, light romance.
Viewers who dislike tragic or bittersweet endings.
People who prefer simple plots with minimal politics or missions.
Anyone who needs romance to be the main focus rather than the story.

Mi è piaciuta molto di più di quanto pensassi
Allora, capiamoci, questa serie non è niente di che, però mi è proprio piaciuta. Nel senso che è un po' come Twins. Io sono che questa serie non è la miagliore della storia, anzi, però mi ha fatto proprio piacere vederla e sono stata sveglia fino a mezzanotte per finirla, quindi vi devo dire, proprio interessante. Detto ciò la storia è una versione molto soft di Bad Buddy (uso questo termine per sottolineare il fatto che è un Enemies to Lovers dove invece che avere le casate opposte quello che si ha sono i dormitori), senza quindi tutto il peso emotivo di quella storia, ma con delle scene molto carine e cucciolose, dei bei momenti fra i due personaggi e anche fra tutte le coppie secondarie. E anche un bel messaggio finale. Sono molto contenta di averla vista questa serie, proprio sono felice.Was this review helpful to you?
Sadly not sold on this one
It is one of the most mentioned dramas, when it comes to recommendations.Now, after watching it finally, my impressions about this show are … well … mixed.
At the beginning it has gotten some additional love from me just for reminding me of my favorite MM book trilogy Missing Pieces by N.R. Walker.
There the couple needs to navigate the new and changed realities after a traumatic brain injury.
Gladly in this drama the injury wasn’t nearly that serious and resulted “only” in a partial amnesia.
I liked the cast and their acting was good most of the time. The MC conveyed chemistry and the shown intimacy - emotional and physical - was convincing most of the time. The only bummer here was the bedroom scene: if the actors don’t feel comfortable showing physical desire and pleasure in front of a camera, close the door on the scene earlier. Writing and directing should have found a workaround here. That part was awkward.
But that was still only a minuscule blip on my judgement radar.
I had my bigger issues, with how the story was told. It felt choppy and hasty most of the time with important parts missing.
Within 8 or 10 episodes the plot could have been given more depth, which could’ve brought more insights into the characters and their intentions behind their actions and decisions.
Especially the fact, that they had issues as a couple on a level, that they were on the brink of a breakup at the beginning, got nearly completely abandoned in the end.
These issues should have been addressed.
Yes, they were reunited at the end. But without resolving their underlying problems it is a HE without a solid ground to stand on.
That leaves us viewers behind with mixed feelings.

Perfect show for people with undeveloped frontal lobes
If you’re looking for cringe-heavy, Wattpad-style entertainment tailored for media-illiterate teenagers, complete with rubbish dialogue and constant second-hand embarrassment—all fueled by a concerning amount of smoking—this is the perfect show for you.Everything about this series is extremely lackluster. Calling it one of the best BL (Boys' Love) shows in existence is distasteful and disrespectful to truly incredible series. However, I must give praise where it's due: as one of the first Chinese BLs, they certainly broke ground. Even if they failed the technical aspects, representation matters.
Maybe I’m being overly critical, but you should only watch this if you don't care about the plot making any sense at all.

Don't Waste Your Time
This is one of those dramas that gain hype through short clips on Reels, gaining traction and interest from the global community, not local (because Chinese people appreciate plot more than anything). I guess a lot of people use the term "vertical drama" but this is more like a short cdrama from a lesser known production company...Anyways, I too was one who came in after seeing their reels, which are all snippets of the leads kissing. They're all quite impactful, I give you that. I also thought I'd give this a try because the two male leads have worked on reputable dramas before. Unfortunately, I had to drop this about halfway and that was a stretch.
The plot makes no sense from the beginning-- there's no explanation of this affinity virus and its origins, and the drama synopsis is completely different from what's being shown on screen. The CGI is NOT even remotely good, contrary to those who claim it is... c'mon it's 2026. That orange octopus coming out of nowhere LITERALLY had me laughing out loud. It looks like a school videography project. And don't get me started on the farfetchedness of some other... creatures😂
The leads aren't the worst actors, and I've seen them all on several other projects, but despite all the skinship they didn't even have good chemistry. Their off-screen chemistry was loads better.
So... to describe this in one word, I'd say cringe. And not the good kind. The embarrassing kind. 🫣

episode 3 ruined episodes 1 and 2
Overall: I quite enjoyed the first 2 episodes, realizing it's a very indie production; however, episode 3 ruined things. 6 episodes about 6 minutes each. Airing on Queer Deep's YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkrefPXGX2ya2fvYODySdXnGenCnRLMTnContent Warning: lying/manipulation, non con kissing
What I Liked
- initial set up
Room For Improvement
- I have no interest watching a cheater cheat, they didn't even clear things up in the final episode
- I like kissing/natural noises but the kissing was a bit too loud

well this one was a doozy... really i'm not sure what to say as i've only watched one other drama where the leads has died. the story of this drama was really interesting and complex and I thought it was great to see 차무혁 find his sister and nephew. I wish 오들희 was told about him being her son, but I feel like she knew internally and maybe unconsciously which is why she felt so pulled to 무혁 and 서경. I feel sad to know 송은채 chose that way to go, but I guess it was unavoidable really. I probably wouldn't watch again because I feel like the biggest secret not being out was a bit of a waste of plot. overall, I enjoyed the music. and sorry I don't know what's the proper name romanizations because it's get spelled differently everywhere.

Rewatching a show at a new point in my life
So I had been an avid reader of the webcomic Yumi's Cells by Donggeon Lee till its ending back in 2020. I loveeee Kim Go eun and try to watch everything she's in and it was such a gift that a webtoon i loved so much was going to star one of my favorite actor.I started rewatching Yumi's cells a month ago after going through a breakup (i used to fangirl about the webtoon back in 2020 with that person so this show hits hard) and this show has been comforting me for the last month. I just wanted to come here to say how beautiful of a story this really is. Maybe its because its my comfort show but even so, looking at the things Yumi goes through at the end of the seasons and how she handles it through both the seasons and grows has helped me look at my own situation in a better light. There might be Wung shippers, there might be Ba Bi shippers but at the end of the day the line in the show, " There is no male main character. You're the only main character Yumi" hits home. This show is Yumi's cells and watching a character develop through relationships, career changes is just so refreshing and wholesome.
Cant wait for the third season. the casting line up is also so exciting (if what ive seen online is accurate).
Definitely recommend rewatching this show when you need a pick me up or a little comfort corner.

THIS BROKE MY HEART INTO A MILLION PIECES IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE AND I'D DO IT AGAIN ??
I honestly don't even know where to start from. This drama was perfect in every sense from the casting to the chemistry to the special effects to the visuals everything was top notch. The chemistry between the main leads Fan Yue and Bai Shuo was so amazing OMG I loved them together. I also loved Bai Xi and Zhong Chao together. I literally cried so much while watching this drama. WHY DID EVERY SIDE CHARACTER HAD TO DIE WTH😭💔. I'm so happy that at the end they got their happy ending but what was the fault of other characters. Xi and Zhao deserved to live a happy long live with each other my shyalas. She suffered so much on the hands of Zhen Yu and then she didn't even get that much time with Zhao and Shuo. The past story of Xing Yue and Jing Yuan was also so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. And one thing about me is that I live for these kinds of heartbreaking stories. Like wdym they were fated to meet fall in love and then he was going to die (talking about Fan Yue) . Tian Huo and Mu jiu deserved to live a peaceful calm live travelling the world together (in my mind they are). I honestly loved the writing and how well every character was written. They weren't just there for the plot, the side characters also had depth and were complex with their own backstories. Also the villains weren't just there for the sake of being bad, they had a history and a motive, don't get me WRONG I still hate Mo Li. Overall, this was my first fantasy CDRAMA and it did not disappoint.Was this review helpful to you?
