My favorite kdrama of 2020 and 2021

I just finished watching it and I love it so much. I will be talking about the ending at the end of my review so if you do not want to be spoiled than don’t read the last part of this review!!

Okay so the first ep was already so much fun! I knew this drama will be one of my fav dramas of all time even just by watching the first ep. it is so funny but sometimes very serious at the same time. I cannot watch a very traditional historical drama because I can’t understand how politics works at that time. But this is a lighter historical drama with lots of romance and comedy which makes it easy to watch and understand.

I actually rewatch the entire thing before the last few episodes aired because that is how much I love it. I feel like this is a comedy and fun and happy version of “scarlet heart” (although story is different but I just get the same vibes)

Okay this review is not helping tbh, it is just me saying how much I love it.

So now let’s talk about the ending.... SPOILER ALERT!!!!

First, it is a “happy” ending. Both FL and ML are alive at the end but for me the ending is not happy at all. Although both lived, the king never knew that the queen’s soul is not actually the queen. And so he never knew that the person he fell in love with was actually jang bong hwan and not kim so young. And what makes me angry is... why don’t they explain where kim so young’s soul has been all these time?!!!! Like in the end she did say “i have been hiding” but that is not enough!

Overall, I just hate the fact that when their souls go back to their original bodies, they act like nothing has ever happened.... at least cry bro! You have been in love with a person and you get back to your original body so you can never meet him again and yet you don’t feel sad?!?!

Anyway, despite my unsatisfactory opinions toward the ending.... I still love this drama with my whole heart and soul.

LOADS OF PLOT TWISTS

So overall this is a great movie, although I don’t understand the ending (probably my fault for not understanding)

Pros: fast paced so even though it is a 2 hour movie I never got bored because something new is always happening. And i love their acting!!!

Cons: i feel like they need to explain more about the mother (the shaman) she is not the main character but I feel like she is crucial enough to the movie that she deserves more explanation.

And this is just my personal opinion but i wish they would also explain more about what actually happened in the past originally. They did explain it but it would be interesting to see what happened without just giving clips and bits of the past

First taiwanese movie review!

Some people may find this movie boring but just be patient and watch it the whole way! It has some plot twists and good message. Their acting was great!!! Not gonna lie I only watch this because of quarantine but it turned out better than I expected.

What I like:
- the ML was not who I thought because he didn’t appear until 30 minutes in (which is refreshing)
- lots of “oh... that’s why.. omg” moments
- their acting was great
- fantasy but not really kinda movie
What I dont like:
- kinda boring not gonna lie (probably because there are no comedy)
- has several plot holes ( the fantasy part)
- not really a bad thing but I would want to see more of the dad’s story instead of him just telling his experience

Best non cringy chinese historical drama!!!

So.. this is my first chinese drama and I am very pleasantly surprised that I don’t hate it... in fact i love it! Here are the pros and cons

Pros:
Not boring (thank god) and funny! Their acting is good (unlike other c dramas). Reminds me of “scarlet heart” but a more light hearted version. Episodes not too many so doesn’t feel drawn out.

Cons:
Some inconsistencies with the plot, although this is a fantasy drama, I’m pretty sure there is still some “fantasy rule” to be followed. The ending feels forced. Although I said this drama is not that cringy, but I am used to watching kdramas so it is still a bit cringy for me (but definitely bearable)

Amazing story and acting

I knew it was gonna be good because Yoo Ah In is in it. But this is not a biased review! The movie is really good and has a couple of plot twists which makes it not boring! It’s interesting how the main character can not talk but still make the movie interesting!

For the acting.... AMAZING! especially the child actors! Anyway if you are bored watch this! Wont regret it

One thing tho.... slight spoiler so if you are sensitive to spoilers don’t read this part


SPOILER WARNED!!!!!!!


About the ending..... hmmmmmmmmm I have mixed feelings. The child was so smart to tell her teacher that he is the kidnapper but i feel bad lol!
