Such a cute and beautiful drama

One of my favorite romance drama. I love both couple so much and they had cute, healthy and mature relationships. The main couple was so cute, I love their height difference and they were sweet. They were understanding and helping each other too. From childhood crush to lovers.

The story of the second couple was really good too, like an ennemies to lovers and they were perfect for each other. I loved watching their story.

I love that in this drama there was no love triangle (there was second leads, but it was one sided love, they weren’t annoying and trying to get the leads. They backed up fast and did not force anything), also no break up and a beautiful happy ending for everyone.
I also loved that their families (all 4 main leads) were kind, loving, friendly and accepted the relationships. They loved their in laws ahah and no annoying parents against the relationship. They were happy for them and even encouraged them.

The ending was perfect too.

Had potential, but the second lead ruined it for me

I absolutely loved the leads, their chemistry and their bickering. I was laughing a lot and smiling while watching, could have been in my top 10. I was also invested in the 2 side couples and I wanted to see the leads dating era so bad.

But please, this drama has one of these insufferable and annoying second lead. The fact that it’s part of the main plot and that he is almost there from beginning to end, I just can’t stand this. I’m so disappointed, I was loving this drama. When FL started to work at ML’s place and living there with him : when he showed up at his appartement and said that he would live there too with them, I was done with this drama. He was such a leach, always going to her family’s house, getting into her business. She never had any romantic feelings towards him, bro was too delusional to accept it and back off. She was obviously liking ML, he knew that. That guy was also such an unprofessional and bad therapist in my opinion. My hate for love triangle is high these days ahah sometimes it makes me drop dramas

I also think there is a breakup and a time jump, kinda annoying. From what I saw they get back together almost at the end of the drama. I don’t like break up for stupid thing.

I don’t know if I will finish it someday, maybe I will and fast forward.

not sure yet, will update. Has potential but...

just watched 8 eps, not bad, but not the best. Can be boring at time but I’ll continue for now. Sometimes I wasn’t paying attention and I’m a bit lost with the characters ahah I’m confused, so many consorts, queen, etc mention.

I just know the second couple is going to be my favorite thing about this drama. Little marquis is so handsome and I’m surprised how all the leads are just attractive in this drama. I love the ML too. But… for me there is too many scenes between FL and SML, I want more moments between FL and ML. I know there is still 32 eps left, but I want more romance. I actually skip moments between FL and SML or just SML scenes. Couldn’t care less about SML and he’s obviously going to be a bad guy. He’s pretty, that the only thing he has for me. I hate love triangle, but it’s not really annoying for now, but it will be for later on. I have a feeling that FL will become annoying and do stupid things later on because of SML, she will for sure trust him blindly?‍♀️?‍♀️these type of FL are just annoying and stupid, don’t trust or believe her man but yet she does with the SL. She met him once when they were kids and she will just trust him… makes no sense. FL characters are often infuriating in some dramas I try to watch. I dropped a few dramas because of the FL character. Wondering what really happened to his mother… there will be more to it, but I was like are you really mad at him and blaming him (ML) for your mother death because he maybe knocked out a candle when he was a child ?

Now finished ep 16. Finally, more scenes between the leads in the last eps. The princess is annoying as hell, FL’s friend who is being a bitch after a misunderstanding because of her brother… the second couple is cute and flirtatious, love their chemistry. Not much romance between the leads yet. Love their dynamic though. FL’s younger brother is adorable, needed to be mention ahah And interesting, the emperor doesn’t seems like trash and not a bad ruler and with some intelligence. Well well SML…. What is wrong with this guy. Obsessed with FL in progress (not much for now, but it will come) and his revenge that doesn’t seem to make sense to me. He wants to know what happened to his mother, but he’s doing bad things, killing people, betrayal, manipulation…. Yeah that’s for sure the way to go. just annoying and stupid. And his brother seems pretty kind to him. This character is not well written in my opinion. Can’t wait for him to die?‍♀️And I remember seeing a clip, isn't she alive after all ?

After reading some comments and reviews, I’m starting to regret starting this because of how it will turn out. Started because of clips of the second couple and the happy ending, but feel like it will become annoying and draggy soon.

a pleasant surprise

I was committed and watching mostly daily. It has many good points

What I liked :
- the acting was great
- I really like the cinematography and this drama was really beautifully filmed, great camera work too. I personally really liked the scenes at the waterfall and the one near the lake when they were throwing the piece (the colors looked beautiful here). Even the scenes with ML riding a horse, it looked great and good that he was actually riding a real horse
- the leads characters were the best. Strong and intelligent ML and FL, a perfect match. Their characters were well written and captivating. Badass couple, that complement each other.
- the chemistry was perfect, their relationship and skinship looked so natural. Their hugs always felt so comforting. The actors were also really expressive with their eyes, we could felt their emotions.
- I’m still marked with some really good scenes like :
-> when he left to war, the divorce letter and her going after him. them talking and hugging after that
-> the breakup scene at the waterfall
-> them fighting side by side in the last ep, that was awesome
etc….
- The side couples were also interesting to me at some level
- I liked watching ML slowly falling in love. Even if he was lying, he still treated her right and was a pretty good husband
- I really loved the music, the OST is beautiful
- the costumes were great
- I liked the empress character. She was kind and such a good person, she deserved the world
- Lord Zhao was funny, I liked his friendship with ML
- the emperor : was quite a bit annoying at first and he is actually pretty weak, but at least he is a good emperor and it was good to let go of his thing for FL, working with ML and finally maybe starting something with his empress
- I liked how ML’s mom gradually started to like her daughter-in-law
- the wedding: truly amazing. We spended a lot of screen time on the wedding-wedding night. That was perfect❤️and they looked stunning
- had some funny moments
- not really any stupid love triangle
- happy ending for all the couples, maybe I wished it would have been a longer epilogue, seeing kids could have been cute too
- I think the last fight and last few eps were exciting, their plan and how it went down. Maybe a bit basic for the villain, but not disappointing


On some other notes :
- it was quite annoying his aunt and cousin, at least some character development for the cousin. Her mom really ruined her
- Personally, the separation was too long…. and it was getting a bit annoying
- had some boring moments and the beginning was a bit slow (even if I enjoyed watching the leads and their chemistry, they got a lot of screen time together too)
- I wish past ep 31, when they got back together, we could have gotten another kiss or more romantic scenes ? maybe another cuddle in bed, I don’t know. We still got some good moments, but maybe I would have liked more. Or just more scenes with the leads

I would recommend, I liked it more than I thought I would

Great romance and relationships

Before starting, this had already some trope and actors that I liked, it was already a win. Light watch full of romance

The good :
- Great chemistry between the leads, the kissing scenes were decent
- good characters
- healthy and strong relationships, lot of skinship
- I really loved the development of the relationship between the leads.
- I liked how it’s started, them being suitable partners and deciding to get together and spend their life together. wish I could find a good men and do that ahaha
- no breakup or any misunderstanding/problems really. A bit at the beginning, but that’s understandable even if FL annoyed me a bit for like 1 ep? The leads were together from like the beginning to end
- both had flaws at the beginning, but they helped each other and grow together
- both have such good and supporting parents, that was truly refreshing. One of the really good point for me. That was so good, no annoying parents. I like how both their families were spending time together.
- The acting was great. Mainly during the parts of ML’s mother death, both actors acted really well. I cried too. The secondary actors were good too.
- I liked the friendship between FL and her best friend. I still remember went she throw up on FL’s ex and she said « trash on trash » that was such a good line to me ahah
- I enjoyed the work place, the plot and the work at the bank actually interested me
- I loved the evolution at work, at first the employee who didn’t like ML and everything. But later on how everyone became friends and supportive of each other. Rao and Zhao being good mentor to FL
- the relationship between FL and Rao Jing was great
- one of the things I love the most is definitely the relationship between Rao and Zhao. I absolutely love this couple and to see their journey as coworkers teasing/bickering to married and parents. They were funny and entertaining. Amazing chemistry and I was always waiting for their scenes. I knew from their first appearance they would become a couple. At least they didn’t get together to late (ep 24 ?), I think that was decent (sometimes feel like second couple can get together pretty late) and no breakup
- third couple, felt like filler, wasn’t much interested in them, but I didn’t skip them. their relationship was doomed a while ago. I’m not a fan of ex trope, but they were still cute, they gave of a good kissing scene too. As their story was progressing, it was getting worst, the issue was to big. She really made an effort to make it work and accommodate herself to his way of living… I was on her side at the end to be honest. I didn’t like how they made them meet again at the end of the drama, this relationship will never work with their social differences and their respective family
- good happy ending
- I absolutely love the music
- the epilogue at the end of every ep were cute, I liked that
- FL’s ex was only present a little at the beginning

Negative:
- I still would have liked better for them to be married from the beginning, that’s what I expected from the sypnosis, that was misleading. They only got married at the end. But it was still good how it turned out
- could be a bit boring, but it’s the same for every drama to me, nothing can be completely perfect without any boring moments
- the annoying girl who liked ML was so annoying and delusional. thank got she wasn’t present for many episodes and we didn’t see much or her, her screentime wasn’t much. And her trying to screw FL at work didn’t work
- Now, I don’t mean the fact that ML was in love with FL for like 10 years… even if it still a bit wth but I feel like it was a bit much. Him leaving when she got a boyfriend, checking up her social media for 10 years sometimes, then oh, he saw she’s now single, return to China and organize to finally get is chance to be with her. Plan everything to meet her, looking at her from afar at work and blah blah blah it had a bit of a stalker vibe ahah but like anyway, bro loved her so much and FL didn’t seemed bothered when she found out. I had to say it


I recommend this drama

Don’t know if I should mention this with this review or if there is a different page, but the special ep was disappointing for the leads. It was perfect for the second couple, but they went and made it regarding work for the leads. They could have give us kids or something else

cute, but kinda boring plot

the plot wasn’t that interesting, in general not really good, but watchable. The leads were really cute and I enjoyed watching their romance. The side couple was cute too.

I enjoyed the friendship.

I liked both the leads, but I really loved the male lead. He wasn’t only so freaking handsome, but kind, protective and a really good boyfriend. I really loved the confession during the proposal at the end.

Annoying SML with one-sided love who becomes crazy-obsessed, but I wasn’t that bothered

The kissing scenes weren’t that good, I feel like it was more from FL side. Sometimes it looked better/more passionate and in my opinion it’s because of ML. But still, I could feel their chemistry.

Happy ending, the proposal was beautiful and I’m still thinking about it ahaha but I found the engagement ring just so beautiful

Also, cute, she’s pregnant at the end.

Beautiful cinematography and I enjoyed the music

an okay watch to pass time

A good watch for me

I was patiently waiting every weekend for more episodes.

There are many things I love about this drama :
- the fact that it’s fast pace.
- there is something happening every episode and satisfying scenes
- love the leads chemistry
- ML’s family (except the brother) is wholesome. She finally found a family to give her the love she deserves, with her mother too.
- I always get spoiled because I love it, but we have some pretty interesting twists
- ML is such a green flag
- Both leads help each other and heal each other. They are each other safe place and home
- I found the revenge pretty satisfying, even if the father should have suffer more maybe. But still, in the end she’s on good terms with her dad and grandpa. That still okay for me.
- FL’s leads « family » and the ex + his family were so crazy and delusional. I was shock at time and it was something to watch. I was kept entertained
- perfect happy ending
- I was laughing so hard at the ex and the « sister » ending and when she showed up. The karma, he wanted her, he got her. Now a life of misery awaits them ahah got what they deserved
- the villain’s acting was so good, they were good at making us hate them


Some minus point :
- FL was kinda weak, got better towards the end
- I would have liked more romance, but since the plot is interesting and the revenge is more the focus, it’s okay. We still got sweets moments.
- I’m sorry, but ML’s wardrobe was hideous. It looked so bad for most of the drama.

Probably one of my favorite drama. I wasn’t bored, no unnecessary scenes and pretty satisfying. It keeps us hooked for more

Nice drama with a beautiful ending

I really like this drama, it made me emotional and smile a lot. The leads have good chemistry and I love their relationship. The kissing scenes weren’t really good but you could still feel their amazing chemistry. They were together for many episodes, I love that in dramas.

I also really loved the second couple and we got to see a lot of them. They were really cute too.

The only things that I hated is the annoying second lead who have an unrequited love for FL. It took him more than 30 eps to finally move on. I would have loved for that to happening sooner so we could have seen more of his relationship with 3FL. I was invested in this 3rd couple too, we can consider their ending happy. They are not officially a couple, but they reunited at the end, I was happy about that.
I also hated the unnecessary and stupid breakup, but it didn’t last long.

Overall I love all the couples and the story. The romance was amazing for me. The rescue scenes were good and I liked the training plot with the dogs. I didn’t find it boring and I enjoyed the drama from beggining to end.

Also a very positive point for me was the ending. I love it so much, one of my favorite cdrama ending ever. I love a long ending, a happy ending of a few min or sec is annoying as fuck. It was beautiful, we saw their happy moment, proposal, wedding and a bit after (fast forward 1 years later). Also, we got to see ending for all 3 couples. The last scene was beautiful too. A real 10/10 ending for me❤️❤️

I would recommend this drama

The first part was a bit slow, but the second part was so good. The plot was interesting and the battle scene so good. The scene where he takes revenge and kill to avenge his family was amazingly done. The acting was on point and the ending was beautiful.

I cried when the empress died, it was so sad. The emperor was funny and I love the relationship between the emperor and empress with the leads.
The plot twist were also good.

The only minus is that they did not give us their wedding ahah and their kissing scene were not good in my opinion but the chemistry was great.

JoongDunk chemistry never disappoints

Yes this was not perfect and the hidden agenda was not a big deal at all, I expected more. But I enjoyed this. It was a simple BL and I absolutely love JoongDunk, so I had to finish this. As always they look so good together with overflowing chemistry.

They improved a lot and the kissing scene were so much better than in star in my mind.

It was interesting the issues that were addressed with like the relationship with their families, the pressure…

I also like the second couple, wish we had seen more of them.

Don’t know why add this stupid problems in the last episode, Zo annoyed me here. Joke is such a good boyfriend, I didn’t like how Zo treated him sometimes. Also, it would have been interesting to explore more Joke story about his relationship with his family.

For me, it’s not as bad as people are saying it is, you don’t always need a big or complicated plot.
