I am bored with this drama

I would like to start this review by saying that the acting is really amazing. We can all see and tell the actors aren't the problem in the kdrama. Almost every kdrama have 16 eps, 1 hour each. But in some cases, it is cempletely unnecesary. And this drama is one of them.For me, ever since episode 6, the plot is seriously lacking. It is as if the writers, producers and director decided that this drama MUST be 16 episodes, nothing less. But that is my biggest problem with most kdramas, Class of Lies included. Kdramas are unnecesarily long. And when I mean long, I mean really long. Before you attack me, I have something to say. Yes, I haven't finished drama but why shoul I spend 16 ours watching something I am not interested in, just to write this review? Maybe this is hidden masterpiece and I just can't see the potential but please, don't attack me for my opinion. I am very open to change my mind and rewatch this kdrama, if anybody changes my mind about the lacking plot.

From the First Ep, I loOoOOve it!!

I really really like the storyline and the actors, like it's so creative??? Although i'm late to watching this, but it's amazing.
Although i've only watched 2 episodes, but I know what i'm talkin' bout'-

So, I had a lot of friends saying this is the one kdrama i'll love, at first I didn't believe them, but I'm already in love!!
The plot, the actors, the acting, chefs kiss!!

I love this series so much because it gives you butterflies, but also laughter!
I actually really am out of words, like who ever wrote this is the one of the best writers ever.
I'd really recommend this so stop reading and go stream!!!

Sincerely, a happy girl :D

Watched the first episode

Off to a good start so far. I can't imagine being such a workaholic like Han byeol the fl, it caught me off guard when she left her blind date at the beginning of this episode just to clear a celebrities image. Almost everyone in the show is a workaholic. I found it hilarious when they went for a checkup the guy said " work is more important" and at the end only Han byeol actually finished her checkup (atleast I think she did).
While all of them are working their butt off, I'm here super lazy to complete my homework too.
I have a feeling this might be a cute enemies to lovers with a bit jealousy here and there. I hope it doesnt get too boring nor complicated at the end of towards the middle of the show.

tf is this?

If GMA thinks no one noticed... well I do.

It's like Be Careful With My Heart except the poor acting and cringe-y lines. I'm not saying BCWMH ain't cheesy but this one is another level. GMA didn't try hard this time. They just change the male lead's job and then boom! We’re done! They think it's smart to word play First Lady to First Yaya! Lol, try again.
The drama is bad. The writing is bad. Everything is bad.
What do we expect from you, GMA?
FL’s character is shallow and most of her actions are out of place. ML on the other hand is stiff and pure BS. Child actors are not even trying. Lmao. Some scenes are pure BS. I swear to god, when I’m watching theater act from a Public School here in my place, students’ acting are on-point! They’re just students but they are serious in their craft. GMA on the other hand, kept on casting “beautiful” faces with no talent. Please train your actors. And choose good and quality story.
In this current age, having women pit against each other is too 1900s.

On hold...

I came for Steven Zhang and screenwriter Wang Xiong Cheng. I just finished Go Ahead so I was very excited to see that they had another show out there. I truly was excited seeing some of the same actors and actresses in this series but I am kicking myself after watching the first episode. I did not look to see who was cast or read the summary.

First off, I have a very bias opinion of Liang Jie. I have seen two of her dramas and her acting just annoys the heck out of me. She has the same personality, characteristic and I just can't see her improvement so therefore I'm putting this on hold. I'm so disappointed and upset because I think this series would have been up my alley but they chose the wrong actress.

Hope if gets better

I have watched 3 episodes so far. It is definitely entertaining to watch and light hearted, which means there will be some heart breaking scenes to come. I have seen multiple dramas of ZLS and find her to be very funny and not afraid to be herself. However whenever she plays the innocent, playful girl, she likes to pinch her voice. Not a fan, maybe that's what innocent sounds like to some people but it just sound fake.
ML'S acting is okay as well. Hopefully it gets better! I'm not sure but some actors doesn't even attempt to move when flying. They just stand there with arms open and everything else is done by the crew. The back drop also looks VERY fake.

Long awaited drama ended up being a disappointment

I had high expectations for this drama unfortunately it didn’t match my hopes. This review contains spoilers.
At first, I was very excited by the 1st episode, then I thought it was a slow burn story and quickly I got bored with the dragged story. It took 20 episodes so half of the drama to tell the story of the princess being a student and that happened in the past of the current events. Then, suddenly the plot with the ice clan is debunked in 2min out of nowhere and we don’t even understand why & how this very short scene & absurd explanation could end an entire plot. Very disappointing.
The second plot with the supreme majesty is all over the place, doesn’t make sense. The 1st intrigue that started the whole drama is still not triggered after 30 episodes so I can expect that this would happen in the end only.

Long story short, the story isn’t very well written and goes in all directions without credible root! Xiao Zhan does a good job but the FL voice & character acting like a child is pretty annoying and its hard to over look as the drama plot isn’t solid enough!

This drama is seriously underated

I am only 7 episodes in, but unless the ending in abysmal I don't understand why it's standing at a 7.8 overall at the time of this review

My face hurts from smiling so much it's adorable to the max!!!

I rarely finish C dramas because either right of the bat I realize it's dubbed and I can't watch anything with dubbed audio (I started watching the untamed and it wasn't until episode 15 that I realized that I had no idea what was going on, If the audio doesn't match the lip movement my brain checks out).Or I get really into them, but somewhere near the ending it gets draggy and repetitive and I completely lose interest.

coming back after 22 episodes watched I get why it's low rated, it's dragging a lot, and the stand up is soooo bad, I wish they had given her literally any other job that had to do with making people happy anything even birthday clown would've been better than these non-jokes. But aside from that I still plan to finish and still believe that the rating should be higher.

My expectations with this series started way too high, Knowing that I love the main actress so much I thought this was one of the few I would see through, but on episode 26 I no longer care about what is happening, I've skipped through so much and still have 9 episodes to go ughh I'm so disappointed, I am not going to drop though I'll put in on hold and may or may not come back some day to finish.

I started this series with high hopes because the opening scene with Qi Yan and his eunuch adopted father choosing his new emperor's robes was very fascinating, their outwardly smiley expressions and the weird tension in the air was honestly very well done.

But the FL made me drop it. Her characterization makes no sense - grew up in the palace but doesn't know the bare minimum of palace etiquette. She is literally RUDE but somehow the king just lets her get away with it because ??reason?? even very early on and when they're barely acquainted. She's supposed to be the best candidate for king's bodyguard position but has no brains for it at all and also physically doesn't carry herself like one. They could've just cut her role and have the FL be the 2nd FL who is clever and cunning and have her go head to head with the king.

Acting wise I think they were all pretty good, but no matter how good Zhang Yuxi is her acting cannot change characterization. Cheng Yi, as usual shows emotions very well, but he cannot make his character's interaction with the FL make sense.

Overall I still gave the show a 5/10 because I can see a lot of potential in there, but sacrificing logic to make romance happen in a drama is one of my top peeves and I cannot continue watching.
