The most Boring first four episodes ever

I watched the first four episodes after each one aired ,, I had very high hopes and I was really disappointed
this drama only has Ji sung ,, the only good thing for it ,,, nothing good in it but him
the story is so slow and boring ,, what is the use of The Twin just to separate them from first episode ,,,? to investigate separately without any contact to each other or even a story to combine them as brothers
at least to build for us viewers some emotional connection to them but no
it's like two very separate stories happening at the same time and both stories are really not original nor new
same old criminal case of wronged father that's it
I dropped it because
1- No brotherhood scenes
2- No thrilling elements at all
3-No Angsty scenes
4- many villains for both brothers
5- No good female lead to add anything interesting to the whole thing
5-so many irritating people got on my nerves
6- Dark scheme or Dark palate colors for the drama that is hard to watch sometimes
7-No actual killing or horrifying scenes or anticipation at all
overall it was very exhausting experience watching something that boring in this heat of a summer

Depressing but beautiful plot to people who love sad stories similar to real life disappointments

I've been spoiled to the ending of this drama before even I've considered watching it
I've seen some scenes from the last episodes and I wanted to watch it just for Cheng Yi's another miserable drama
But to my surprise this drama is actually beautiful and well executed
the editing is perfect there are no jumpy scenes or confusing plot
the story is well paced no draggy scenes or boring episodes at all ,, even when I decided to skip episodes or scenes I couldn't because I wanted to know what will happen next
It's pure human interactions and emotions ,, you are watching actual people interacting with each other like real life
no fantasy aspect not romantic fluffy scenes ,, it's somewhat realistic
The evil people aren't just evil but they are regular humans who have their own justifications for their deeds and some people can relate to their justifications like the oldest brother who wanted to become the king no matter what or how also the girl who is in love with a prince who doesn't love her back so she forces him to marry her and destroy his every move with her obsessive love
There was a surprise relationship I didn't know I would be interested in watching in this drama
The Sismance between the female lead and her maid ,,, they have more than sisterhood relationship
they are more like soulmates ,, yes two females are soulmates very close friendship
the maid is serving her bestfriend with more love than any other character
If you watched it you will see how
For the first time in my life I actually loved their sisterhood and their love for each other even more than the romance story
This drama is about disappointments in life and failed romantic story to the end
But
It's really beautifully written and well executed ,,, every actor did a great job portraying his character

Very happy respectful Family and Youth drama with bitter taste at the end

This drama is The most respectful Retro Family drama I've ever scene
You can watch it with any family member,, It's 100% family youth drama that has no romance at all , Zero romance but it's 100% about LOVE
Love of family, friends, colleagues, the wronged people, the poor people, and love of oneself
This drama for me was a Therapy
I felt so good watching it and it's positivity towards relationships and life
You will fall in love with each character,, even the ones that seem not lovable at first
It gave great lessons about love for education and fighting for it, love for our childhood friends and love for our new friends newcomers who are poor and live hard lives
so it's a very educational and very heartwarming drama that has everything pink and floral, No dark about it
just a few cases of family disputes, the normal ones
and one case of a girl who has a criminal father but she found family to love and protect her and her sister
even the teenage kids they didn't have teenage problems
No bullying, No fighting over a girl or a boy, No romance Just love and friendship
ALL that I've said until now was that it's the greenest flag drama you could ever watch in pink bubble until the last four episodes
Warning!!!!!!!
REALITY HITS HARD
LIFE FIGHTS BACK AT THIS PINCK PICTURE
and suddenly the last four episodes became all about pain , sadness, despair , sickness, death
I'm so distraught by the last four episodes that I write this review with bad taste in my mouth and tears in my eyes

why the writers ruin a perfectly peaceful cheerful comedic family drama like that

Underwhelming romantic drama ,, good watch overall

Started somewhat interesting at first ,, had some potential ,, but it got draggy in the middle of the first part
boring and draggy ,, I barely watched the first part awake ,, there were not so much happening
the other couples were more interesting than the leads ,,, their love stories were enjoyable to watch even their kisses
the main lead's naïve persona was annoying sometimes ,,, the second male lead who loved the female lead was so much more than the male lead's character ,, he was the one who truly loved her from his heart ,,he kept her protected from his own father and evil followers ,, he helped her achieve what she hoped for ,, he was the one who had every thing wrong for him yet tried to save the female lead on every turn also he let her be free never controlled her or imprisoned her in anyway ,, he was truly the perfect lover not like the male lead who was self absorbed in his hatred towards the female lead and tortured her physically and emotionally while she was dying ,, their relationship wasn't healthy not that I consider love at all but may be it turned love at the second half of the second part
to be honest this drama had some good episodes and some really bad ones ,, it was over all enjoyable watch but I won't be watching it again ,, it's one and done
Jia Lun Ren the male lead is a very good actor but I don't know why here he wasn't that good ,, sometimes felt his acting was really off and weak
the kisses were as his usual fake ,, didn't feel real at all ,, his acting away from the female lead was good but with her was underwhelming
the female lead's acting was good not the best but I can't complain about her ,, she did her best with what she had
Actually the secondary characters were the most interesting in everything plot or acting

Cringiest drama ,, worst GFX , Sismance more than Bromance ,, plot in pieces ,, boring evil leads

I've watched this one because I love Bromance dramas and some of my friends suggested it
I was a lot confused at the beginning then it became draggy then it became all about the girls then it was trial after trial but all with Horrible GFX cartoonish laughable level add to that the awkward acting from the male leads
The one thing I've liked was the acting of the older male lead who plays the mentor or wangia nothing more
the younger male lead was better at acting in previous dramas I've watched but not this one ,, I don't know why ,, even his character was over acting a lot
I skipped 80% of every single episode
I skipped all the evil side's scenes ,, I skipped all the female's sis mance scenes , I've skipped the GFX cartoonish scenes
this one was a big fail didn't satisfy me one bit
I won't be watching this one again even if it has more seasons

Very slow paced drama but overall good wuxia fight scenes in it

I've watched this drama after Love and redemption so It was pound to be compared to it especially it has the same Female lead
Also I love the Male lead's acting so much ,, he's one of the best chinese actors who actually can act different roles with a lot of depth ,, he's real self is so loud and too energetic person ,, in his other dramas his face was so expressive and he was fussy most of the times moves and talks a lot ,, that was more of his real personality from what I've seen in behind the scenes his personality but in this drama he's too calm , composed ,,, really really cold and mostly week because of his poisoned character so he did a great job portraying a character that is totally the opposite of his own character
The female lead here wasn't good match for him or she wasn't wrote right for his character in the script ,, I felt her love and care for her senior martial art brother stronger than the male lead's most of the time ,, I felt she was supposed to love her senior martial brother but they got separated and the male lead got in the way practically forcing her to love him
so the romance story here wasn't as good as Love and redemption drama at all ,, there she was perfect fit with the male lead even her intimate kissing scenes there were more believable than here
the other actors did their characters as they can very nicely ,, I can't complain about them ,, they were really good even the annoying ones they were written in the story that way to annoy us LOL but really all the actors did great job in their roles
.....
The story
the plot was really really draggy after episode 12 ,, it diverted to other useless side stories that has nothing to do with the main plot or the main lead ,, they just went to an Island exploring a family dispute with no connection to the main leads at all just that it included them like guests in this story ,,, It went on for about ten episodes then returned to the main course of the plot then divert again to another side story ,, it was like that switching to side stories of other characters
this drama could have been much shorter than this if they just stick to the main plot and the main lead's story
so the story wasn't very good overall because of all the draggy side stories included also it had some very stupid judgments from the leads like when the male lead threw a tantrum and spoiled the only medicine that could have been cured him because he was angry at the female lead ,, I was so angry about that
sometimes they made the Master of the snow tower like a child acting out in a very stupid way
.......
the ending ten episodes or sow were so good even if they killed a lot of characters but I was interested watching the final part of the drama it was fast paced and thrilling after all the boring side stories
so if you're not a patient person skip a lot in the middle to reach the third part of the drama then watch it you won't miss much from the middle
,,,,
the production was amazing in every way cinematography ,, costumes ,,,, makeup ,, graphics and the wuxia fights were the best
it was really enjoyable to watch
overall this drama is very good but needs patience with it ,, you can't binge it on a sitting or watch it as if it has every episode interesting ,, you will be disappointed

Draggy wuxia drama plus cold female lead

I had high hopes for this when I decided to watch it ,, I thought it was really good story melodramatic wuxia drama
I saw some clips here and there and I love the male lead so I was really hoping it's good
The OST (Sound tracks) and the graphics are really good also the actors are amazing except for the female lead
but I was surprised of How slow and draggy it is ,, I thought may be at the beginning only but it went for ages ,,,, Yes some fast wuxia fights and they were good too but the story was lacking alot
The romance scenes were soo long ,, people taking dramatic pauses a lot ,,, thinking ,,, talking ,,,, crying whatever they took along time playing that
The male lead insert himself in the female lead's life for no reason other than he's still hang up on her since childhood so Cliche'
also the female lead didn't care much about him most of the drama ,, she was mostly acting out and treating him badly
that wasn't a good romantic story at all
The other Romantic stories were much better than the main one
The male lead put himself through so much pain and suffering for a cold female lead who doesn't appreciate anything he did for her to the last few episode she was that heartless ,, I'm not saying he didn't do anything wrong either
he was obsessed with her and she was obsessed with her master
I didn't feel any love from the female lead even when she's trying to love him ,,, Bad acting maybe or the writing
I didn't like the last part of the drama either ,,, it was A mess
why did they kill Chang ge ??? for no reason at all they just killed him and his lover ,,, he wasn't supposed to die ,, his friends were going to rescue him but somehow his girlfriend thought of a ridiculous death for them both
Overall this drama is really disappointing
other than some good whump scenes and some good wuxia fights with good music ,, it's really doesn't worth your time

Interesting story with great acting but a little slow

The story is very good I enjoyed it very much also the actors did their best ,, I loved every character ,, there were no annoying female lead may be started goofy at first but then she grew up as a character on later episodes ,,, the male lead was the best ,, I loved every scene he was in ,, I did get bored a little in the middle because of some draggy episodes but not too long and there were some missing scenes that got me confused sometimes but overall the drama is really enjoyable to watch
it will get really sad in the second half and painful sometimes but that was the angst of the drama feeling what the male lead is feeling ,,,, I felt so emotional at the last episodes but is was really good
I hoped for more from the male lead's character ,, hoped he would do more to surprise everyone but he didn't not so much
I loved the second female lead more than any character in this drama because she was the best of the best of all of them
when I finished this drama I felt sad that's why I went to rewatch love and redemption again
