finished 2025

Such a soap opera but a real good time. Had interesting characters and good pacing that (for me) dropped in the last episode. If it wasn't clear before that this drama was based on a webtoon it certainly became clear when the last episode had a warzone for no reason.
But certainly was a fun watch that I looked forward to every week

finished 1.4.25 

Fun slice of life drama! I skipped most of the side stories, but this was a enjoyable and relaxing watch. I also liked that the villain stayed jealous and petty all the way through. It was nice to be able to properly dislike a character without having to feel bad for them. She obviously was a good source of conflict for the drama (which otherwise wouldn't have that much going on)

finished 1.7.25  

I finally came back to this after finishing Fangs of Fortune! It was easier to watch this time, but it still has some issues. Mainly, the leads. Either they were miscast or the writing wasn't doing them any favors. Especially the ML, I've liked him in other dramas, but in this one he was particularly immature and brash. He's supposed to be this charismatic and kind person (which is why everyone flocks to his side and is loyal to him) but I really never felt like that was true about his character. Another big problem was the plot. It starts slow and then gets stuck in the middle before a really exciting climax with a poor ending. I will say that at least he takes a fairly typical plot idea and gets into it in a different way than most cdramas.
Now the good parts. Really interesting world building, beautiful filming, excellent costumes and best of all the BROTHERS. They were really the best part of the drama and frankly, this writer/director should just do a drama about brothers with those two actors.

finished 1.12.25 

A solid drama for sure. The characters were fun and the pacing was good. There were just a few times that the plot was a little whacky (if I could think of a solution than why couldn't they??). Overall, decent watch 

finished 1.2.25 

What I was promised: Dark Shen Yi and twisted relationships with criminals and interesting murder cases. 

What I got: Not that.
