A strong start, but what on earth was that ending?!

The series started really strongly, with suspense and intrigue, a loveless marriage, kidnap, blackmail, and more.
But halfway through it seemed to lose all momentum and descend into a clash of different angles that seemed to run together head on.
Once Hee-Joo fell down the cliff, everything just went wrong. It was all just too much, too many absurd unbelievable story lines hashed together to make a very unrealistic story. And yea, I know, K-dramas aren’t know for their realistic nature - but this pushed it to the extreme.
The actors were excellent, but the script and direction really ruined what could have been a great drama.
What the heck was the final episode and Hee-Joo running away to a war zone all about?! For all of 15 minutes?!
Rating it as the best of 2024 - laughable.

Summarizing Attack on Titan (Attack on Titan) Part 1:

• Do not expect to see the anime or manga (Oh! New) ...
• Eren now is Buck now is handle ...
• Armin still sarcastically face, but better than the eren ...
• Mikasa gained the attention it deserved ...
• There is cool phrases ...
• The people trained to be running 80% of the film ...
• The Titans are honest workers, so early risers ...
• The most worked scenes from the film are summarized in carnage ...
• I laughed at least 50% of the film ...
• The soundtrack is pretty catty, but the theme song saved the whole thing

the forbidden flower

Para começar: esse drama nunca que deveria ter 24 episódios!! Na metade do caminho não tem mais história a ser contada e o foco fica nos secundários, dos quais a única que """salva""" é a mãe da protagonista e o romance dela com o bonitinho.
Pela primeira vez na minha vida, eu assisti algo em velocidade aumentada, porque não aguentava mais a enrolação. No final, nem consegui me emocionar. Não me apeguei aos personagens, e ainda passei foi raiva com as atitudes mimadas da He Ran, o Xiao Han é um banana, que só fica "ok" nos últimos episódios. Apesar dele falar que se apaixonou por ela desde o começo, a sensação que dá é que ele foi vencido pelo cansaço.
A questão da diferença de idade também me agoniou um pouco, ainda mais com ele se referindo a ela como "criança" ????? Resumindo: só ladeira abaixo.

Os pontos que gostei foram: a OST perfeita e a construção da história com as estações verão e inverno --> isso foi bem bonito e se todo o resto ajudasse teria sido um drama lindo.

Stop overracting.

This drama is fine and everyone needs to calm down. I think the drama deserves to be judged on its own merits rather than as an extension of Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. That was that and this is this.

Despite that I do still think this drama is a bit of a mess, just not for the same reasons as most other people. The main problem is that this show has too many people in it. The audience is supposed to equally care about the ML and FL, the FL's family of 5, And the ML's coworkers and even the damn “villains” of the show. All of these people take up way too much time and steal the spotlight from the main couple.

I don't care what anyone says, I will scream my adoration for this couple from the rooftops. This is one of the best depictions of a loving, respectful and supportive relationship between two individuals who value each other deeply. They don't act that way because just because it tells them to or because the plot says its time. They do it because they get to know each other and develop genuine affection…
When the FL is having a hard time the ML helps her out because HE'S A NICE PERSON, not because he's attracted to her. She doesn't need to prove anything to him or have some special requirements for him to naturally want to care for her. The FL is a simple character who doesn't need to change much because she is already a good person as well. Her affection for the ML goes farther than his face, she loves his personality and pokes fun at it. Being good looking isn't enough to get her interested…

After all that I must say that I think Ryu Si-oh is one of the worst aspects of this drama. He is evil, regardless of his upbringing shaping him he chooses to create a drug that KILLS people.
(Honestly that doesn't even make sense, the whole point of drugs is to get people addicted so they become repeat customers, so I don't know why anyone would create a drug that kills the customer base UNLESS YOU'RE LITERALLY EVIL) Due to this I'm not hearing him or his shallow hastily put together backstory out. He would never have been interested in the FL if she weren't strong and he tried to kill the people she loved AND HER. Plus I objectively think the actor did not fit this role, he honestly was the odd one out in terms of acting ability… This was just the wrong role for this man period.


While I love the FL's mother and grandma, they and their issues/adventures get way too much focus and make the drama feel like it's dragging because you just can't bring yourself to care about what they're doing. Same goes for the FL's Father and brother… This isn't a palace drama, there is no need for more than like 6-7 MAIN characters.

This story is too messy and needs to get itself together. It wasn't the worst drama of 2023 like many are saying. Extra point for the cameo cuz they did not have to spend the money to do that, but they did.

NOT MY CUP of TEA

This drama is way too serious.

Give me a break, I only watch stuff to be entertained not to see the male lover murder his female partner and repeat ad nauseum via reincarnation. *Rolls eyes* Journey of Chongzi, I'm looking at ya!

Light-hearted stuff like The Melee Mage, and Fights Break Sphere (2023) I highly approve. Depressing, sad, overly melodramatic crap like Fights Break Sphere (2018), The King's Avatar, The Longest Promise, and The Last Immortal can all go to hell!

The reason I'm even giving this 3 stars instead of 1 because kudos it's Tencent visual effects magic.

The other thing I didn't like the FL lead is too strong, the story is SOLELY about her. Here the ML is just her accessory! I hate this kind of crap. BUT if we look at Princess Agents, the story was very much about the ML as much as the FL. Zhao Liying is the only female lead I highly approve for female-centric dramas because her TV series always give importance to the ML as well! Zhao Lusi and co can all go to hell. I swear I will never watch another Xiao Zhan nor Zhao Lusi drama ever again...

Disastrous

Absolutely disappointed after all the wait. I was thinking did we need a season 2 if this is what we get. It should be a better season. So many misunderstandings thrown into it. A lot of negative issues too. They’re supposed to have matured too. I don’t understand the issue with the FL. She loves ML but bickers with him in every single scene.i have been tempted to drop but just kept going since there isn’t anything for me to watch. Such a waste of actors and their talent. The story all jumbled up and confusing, well on second thought I’m not confused. The actors are. They seem to be missing out on the obvious conspiracies thinking the audience would buy them. I’m at 3/4 of the episodes and I still don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. The actress seem to have lost senses. The FL acts so obvious whilst planning to infiltrate and not be caught. I’m 3/4 of the drama and I still don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
