WELL WRAP! FL WAS THE BEST! I NEED MORE LIKE HER!

MUST WATCH! I'm just binge-watching dramas that put humor on my life and I found something precious. Eps never failed to make me laugh and the comedy was not that nonsense or something irritating. Super lighthearted after I watch this. Never got bored!

And oh! The portrayal of a villain was complex and nice. Who would think scheming and deceiving would be advantageous, not cruel and evil? What a nice plot! I love how it disappoints me *because it was in a good way!) Let me explain, some characters might choose to go bad and become someone you wanted to behead but they did not! It was a nice nice feeling that they chose to become like that and had a happy ending. Others may see that as dumb for not even having a thought of going bad, insecure, and jealous but ya know, human still has a nature to go good.

What I like about this story is the FL! GHAD, WE SHOULD HAVE MORE STORIES LIKE HER PERSONALITY AND QUIRKINESS! EVERYTHING! Maybe in the future, the emphasis on one's physical appearance should be eradicated just because she was "different" from society's aspects of portraying FL. It's lame and shits that society always portrays and emphasizes beauty standards. C'mon, this FL was a legend in her confidence and her perspective in life! They should treat FL like this like how they portray other FLs that people thought cute, and shoot to their standards. But I still like that they not making fun of this bllshit difference because I really adore the FL here! What I liked the best was ep 28 and Beyond. FL wraps up things that I want to see in every FL or couple in other series. She wrapped up misunderstanding really well like almost she was talking to other annoying and angsty series hehe (this was just my opinion huh. she never did that). But you'll know that I mean if you watch this. And what she said to ML about protecting her, THAT WAS NICE AND WELL SAID. ML should not jump to the conclusion that the FL needs to be shielded. THEY SHOULD ASK AND DISCUSS IT WITH EACH OTHER. GHAD! That was the foundation of trust! ML should not assume that they were something great when they protected the FL because honey, that wasn't that nice, reasonable, and romantic. They should not also assume that all FL do dumb things *staying even knowing they will be killed, being emotionally argh etc. Some FL might be stubborn to stay by their side. That's okay BUT don't drop things like sacrificing shits and stuff (argh this always frustrates me because sacrificing not really leads to happiness and saving peace and all GHAD! Like, is there satisfaction when one dies because of protecting the other half? Hell, none! That is why Romeo and Juliet was made TSK. THAT'S THE LESSON BABY!). Then some FL might agree to ML-- to run as fast as they can and that was okay! That's not abandoning or being a coward. They trust their partner and use their brains so that they might not become bait or something, and things become messy. Brainy FL knows when to flee and when to fight! The point is, shitty misunderstanding was solved! Okay, that's enough rant for me.

For the ML, he was nice. His character development is nice, thanks to FL. Not much about him especially the title gave away who was the star of the show. But I appreciate his changes and realization. That was golden too.

And the 2nd character! I'll always include them in my review as usual. One of the best! Well except that I remember, he really loves his appearance or this might be another cover and tactic for FL. 2nd chara was nice and great till the end. He accepted the decision well done and it's obvious that he will find someone too! Touched to his gesture and intentions towards the FL. That was nice nice!

OVERALL, This was a comedy with content! It caught things that I want the FL to have. GHad, she become my standard when it comes to watching drama.

PLOT WELL DONE, Fell deeply to FL's demeanor!

It was supposed to be my hangover series after I watched some series that left an unfinished feeling in my heart but WHAT THE FUDGE! I was tricked when they said that I wouldn't feel angst. Because it agitated me more than thrice. But oh well. That was just the process and not the ending! Maybe we have a different meaning of 'no angst'. Lucky I was tricked because... This is a rare gem I've been looking for! The plot was aligned with my taste. I liked how they put struggles and unspoken dilemmas that I rarely see in historical drama (especially since I started watching Chinese historical drama). I want to put more emphasis on its plot but you must watch it and see/analyze it for yourself!

The FL was the best! This might be one of the ideal FLs I ever want to convey. Her tactics and foresight. Her captivating wit and mind. Her attitude and formidable personality. Ghad, plus her temper. They did a great job of staying true. I guess living like a man gives her a way to be more transparent about her feelings that's why even with her demeanor as an emperor, she still has an eccentric side. Something I wished to see was for her wife to know her identity but unfortunately, she did not but it's okay. I still like that she lived her life with moments with her sworn sisters.

ML is good too. He might have a problem loving his "handsomeness". But he let go twist and turns without causing broad misunderstanding and idiocy hehe. Which was the best especially when they worked together (FL and ML duo for solving things were the best!). This dude portrays balance! (Let me know if you guess what I mean!) One thing that I really like about his character is that he had a good relationship with the 2nd character at the end (because I'm that guy who always rooting for the 2nd character hehe). That was a great scene there!

Speaking of the second character, I really like the FL for being straightforward to him. I salute her for that and I salute the 2nd character for respecting that. Ghad, this series was getting more praise than I anticipated!

And the villain. This was awesome. Some changes, and some get worse. But there are no lapses in their character that make you question why they become like that. I admit that the last one was extreme and the more (in reality check) complex among them. The scene with the FL at the end was very powerful indeed. However, I can't let go of that sexual assault (okay attempt!) to the Princess. Did that guy get killed? He MUST.

Overall, the plot leaves a great impact on equality that reflects FL's ambition. I really like couples like this who help each other to reach each other's ambition by choosing NOT to give a damn to dilemmas that break them apart. Choosing to be with your loved ones would never be selfish even if they persuade that it is. There's nothing more hypocritical than thinking that sacrificing one's self could save her/him. It's b****** (read the post-credit!)

It has soul on it's own

Kiddos to FL, I like how she portrays the two characters well. This is my first time encountering an ML with a mischievous attitude and nyahaha.

I dunno what's missing. It has a good plot and all. Yes, it is interesting but I think.... how they deliver and weave the story was kinda makes it lack of something. Some scenes are out of context and sometimes, things happen so fast that the essence becomes trivial (the start and end of it specifically).

Overall, this was good. They depict topics that are rarely seen especially in this kind of setting. Maybe this is me expecting some improvement and how they deliver it (I'm not pertaining about the actors, the storyline itself tells me that there's still room for improvement and what-ifs to enhance it). That's why I felt they lacked something.

Omen will never beat what's fated.

After watching it, I couldn't be more satisfied at the end. Though I still want to see them hug each other I'm glad playing with my mind about the future ahead with these two.

Such a great plot! First time watching having two leads and it doesn't really have a love triangle. I like how contrast yet how perfect they are. This story emphasizes the ill-nature of humans or any intelligent creature in this world. They'll believe what they believe. Yetan deserves all the love that she received! And Man. I miss her. The moment she left, humor left the scene but I'm satisfied with that revenge.

In this series, you'll see how idiotic to have absolute crap. GHad that old man. Deserves to be punished more than he received! The way he pressed all the buttons made me wish that he'd never bow down and let him suffocate how high he could be. TSK. I kinda much like the Void Tyrant because at least his brutality is visible. But that crap heavenly shitty, every aura he had-- I despise it all. He tainted the image of "good" and right for something rule that never consider emotion. Honestly, how can you say you're right and good if there is no attachment huh? HUH?

FL! Yetan was the badass and true image of "I can handle myself". I like how tsundere she was when in fact, she cared much more than the words coming from her mouth. She views life with bravery and never gives up to any tribulations. Those suffering never hindered her from being unreasonable and getting caught in a blind rage. Yet! She still knows the essence of avenge and never let anyone put crap on her head. This combination was rare to possess by a FL. That is why Tan climbed up to my finest FL.
And Kui, even at first, you can't see that she's weak. Her formidable will came out even in the very first scene. She possesses calmness and intelligence and her sister possesses chaos and cleverness. What a perfect combination! Her kindness was too much but drives other people towards good. What a nice nice duo.

Then the MLS. Fifth was so fine especially how devoted he was to Tan. And that soul shards GHAD! how can he do that? He's lucky to have Yetan hihi. They kinda had the same childhood if you analyze it. Both isolated. I felt bad for hi to have a father like that. He was forced to remove his desire and bind to responsibility like he never had a choice. Truly, they deserve each other!

Then the third prince, I was kinda worried about his deceptions and how it would affect their relationship but Kui's kindness was beyond my grasp. So they turned out just fine and their process was not annoying and unreasonable! You must understand that his thousand years plan did not succeed yet he did not regret it because it was for Kui.

This was also my first time to have a story focused on a group. Their adventure at the Beast Realm was superb! Even the sad and tragic things happened in the latter eps, I'm not brokenhearted because they spent more happy memories together and that compensated for all the difficulties they faced. That was nice! I hope to encounter stories who do this. So that, whatever pain happens, I can still recall the moments they had and be satisfied whatever or how short the ending would be.

Starry Love was surprisingly nice and good! I tried not to continue it because of my lingering feelings toward the previous series but men! Glad I continue. Tan's perseverance toward the five empyr was so admirable. And he fell in love with her not twice but 5th times!

GHAD! Overall, must watch! Yetan will capture you with her antics and the chaos she brought to four realms.

Freakin' cool!

The story I've been looking for all of my l- I mean ever since I started watching cdrama. If you like FL who doesn't give a damn about being saved, then must watch! FL is a heroin who you might find impulsive but her resourcefulness and courage made you vouch for her flaws. Formidable FL indeed. I had been looking for an FL with unclimbable persistence yet bearing a carefree life, till I met her! Her personality really suits the ML.

In most of what I watched, when the FL has an uncontrollable temper, ML balanced it with calmness and posture. Yet this duo defines the doom of the world with both rebellious traits! ML is a pirate! First cdrama I watched that kinda is not inclined to royalty and the mess of politics. You can see the changes in ML's perspective and how he tried and understand FL's dream.

If you're looking for a story in which the villain was just a subtle part and the series focuses on the development of the main characters, then try this one! You can hate the villain or just ignore it nyahaha because it was kinda not deep or so.

And at last! 2nd character shined! He deserves to be happy too AHHHH! I like that ML and 2nd character become friends after all.

Honestly, all I did was smile and blush the way the main character progressed throughout the series. It was short but it felt long the way so many things happened. not rush, not slow. Just right!

I think this would be my first series that is really worth rewatching!

MY FIRST CDRAMA and it was wholesome!

As a self-proclaimed writer, the attack of this plot was interesting. Like how they make things unpredicted yet predicted (you know). I was so focused on the plot that I barely remember the characters (this review was written 1 month ago). FL is smart and always has a doom day because of her decisions. I like this part because it makes the story has been more messier haha. The ML was quite linear until the middle but his complexity was revealed. I was shaken that they put love stories for side characters which was awesome-- like the story did not evolve to MC only. Ghad, till now, I'm thinking of what ifs. And fudge, hero to villain? Never tried that. I like the ending too. Not quite satisfying but at least happy ending.

THIS IS MY FAVE SERIES!

Every eps, my expression was "Whoa, shep, ghad super!" The plot was super interesting (never looked at how many eps it has). I'm an overthinker who loves to predict what's next but men, this series fooled me thrice! The effects were awesome! FL was fantastic, she may seem linear but she shows her courage more than they emphasized. I like her lighter personality than the last eps. ML was superb too! They manage to portray his character in deep to emphasize the importance of it in the plot. I didn't know the actor until my friend recognized him. And sheezzz, when they switched bodies, their acting was freakin distinguishable! There are minor questions that were not answered but oh well, not important, just OC guy. The ending was quite short though. I want more of them! huuhu. That's why I got a hangover on this one for about a month before I decided to watch and move on. It's not light because the plot was AWESOME. OVERALL, this one is freakin good!

WORTH IT-- SMOOTH SAILING

Lately, I've been dragged by the famous cdramas that made me feel plain and looking for something unique. Then I stumbled upon this short yet magnificent drama! I did not spoil myself at the end like I trusted the writer that she/he would not let me down. Glad I did! The first ep caught my attention so I continued. I laugh and cry then laugh. Even near the end, they never fail to make me laugh. The ending was satisfying and it was rare to have this fluff ending that you kind of would not wish for more. I was satisfied that they had moments together before it was ended. Well, I was looking for his brother and the doctor but ow well.

This is legit worth rewatching!

It can save you after some drama that made you withdraw to much angst, sadness, or tragedy. But of course, with open arms and just enjoy the show. Because men, this series did not fail to make me laugh for a day. Made me rest for a while. And I did not feel cliche or 2nd embarrassment like the FL was born to play this one haha. This was also my first series The 2nd character did not get my attention that much Mabe because he arrived at the latter where the MC already had a fondness between them. But of course, I followed every 2nd character in any series so I kinda feel sad about his past and how he turns out. I'm not bad at the writer for making him that way. Maybe because it was justified and he turned out good in the end,.

I just realized that made the ML here a little bit too calm that the FL always shines and takes the initiative. But I did not see it throughout the show. I guess, the writer did a good job of balancing the compatibility of this couple. Now, I kinda like this kind of ML personality.

And the FL, currently this was the kind of FL I've been looking for. And I want to find an underrated series with this kind of FL!

Overall, this was nice and good. if you're looking for

Want some strong brotherly bond?
FL without grace and talk and do whatever she feels?
FL with confidence at the maximum level yet the courage made me you root for her?
ML that didn't actually have enemies to lover stage to FL instead, friend and building fondness?
MCs that did not hate guts each other yet their process is still humorous and ideal?
Kinda a unique plot base?
Smooth sail with a touch of rain?
So good ending?

Then watch this!

Well WRITTEN. Justified at its finest.

I freakin don't know why I drop this the first time I watch the first 3 eps. Because THIS WAS FREAKIN GOOD! Oh, I know. Maybe I got a hangover that time with the TROTAR or LBFAD and wasn't that hook.

BUT NOW, I'M GLAD I CAME BACK! Ghad, this was well written. The first eps really messed up the stories she created to the point that almost 80% of what happened became clueless to Qing and to me. Of course, her personality was the biggest factor for humor, and the fact that she was just being herself will not make you feel cringe at all. What I like the most about her character is that she never let unresolved problems have a big effect on their relationship. Overall, I love her character throughout her journey. She made me laugh and cry. If she's a real writer, I would like to be her apprentice ahaha. Kiddos to the ones who really write this story!

And the ML. You know, making an innocent into a villain was not portrayed in many series because of how easy it is to ruin something precious. But, this plot might not be new but always interesting. Villains turn to someone who becomes aware of understanding etc. That's hella work and that's why it was interesting. The ML was so awesome in transitioning from his hatred to his love. I always repeat scenes every time he shows care and rare expressions. His ending was quite nice and justified. Love that they put that bonus scene at the scene so my heart did not settle to heaviness- not because it's painful but because of loneliness. His wish was really heart-melting and glad it was granted. I was contented that they met at the end!

Then the 2nd character. Which was supposedly the male lead to Qing's story. I usually give more attention to all 2nd characters but this time, I was more focused on someone else aside from the leads. Back to the 2nd chara, I always wonder if writers could make a story work with the same setting as this, without making the supposedly lead to be tainted or somehow bad. Yeah, I know that the lead must shine and develop. Well, I'm just wondering and maybe when I get inspiration, I'll be that writer. Jk. But oh well, even if he was tainted, that's still a character development and choices he made for himself.

Oh, I have a question about this character that I think, was not answered. How would the 2nd male chara have affection for Qing in the first eps when he supposedly fell in love with his own lead, aka 2nd female chara. I mean, it could work if he had past events with Qing that made him fell right? huhuhu I need an answer.

The person I mentioned above who caught my attention was the 2nd female character who was supposedly the FL in Qing's story. I like how she becomes consistent throughout the series. She has been in love with the crown prince ever since and plus, they had a happy ending at the end! She deserves it. I kinda feel bad about how unfair it was to her throughout the series, then atlast, at the end... They got a nice ending that she deserved. Nyahaha I remember the flaw that Qing put in her character. She was like Zoro in cdrama ahahahah.

Then the villain. Family is a blessing and sometimes a burden. If you don't agree. Then don't! I'll cite some samples that really become the center of chaos in this story. First, the 2nd Female character. She was fine and nice until she was found by her family. Which not only restrained her freedom but gave up her job as coroner. She kinda sacrifices things she had throughout her life just because she found her family. Next was the revenge for the Su Family. The flashbacks tell that they let Qi revenge for their death-- which kinda made me feel disappointed that they drove him to that instead of wishing to live and let go. Which become the biggest factor in his rs. Then the tragedy of Princes. Frankly, I feel bad for them. The rotten minds of their parents become their food and poison. Suck up all "it's for your best". pwe. That phrase becomes a lie when a parent never tries to understand the mental and emotional health of their kids. I always disagree with the phrase that the Karma was always bestowed to their child or the sin of the parents will be passed down to children. That's the most unreasonable thing I ever heard. Look what happened to their children. Who suffers the most now? Are they happy seeing their children suffer because of what they did assuming they did the best for them? I was not pissed off by the villain. Actually, I choose not to feel the angst about her behavior and choices. I chose not to allow her to tap my emotions because I knew that her greediness would backfire on her and the worst of it was her children shielded her blindly. Which she would never deserve.

And the 3rd couple. Ghad! Maybe the first two were justified and have satisfaction. But Qi and Xi Yao? That last part was super unexpected and depressing. They deserve to be happy too huhuhu. This also put gasoline to the fire for what I was talking about in the last paragraph. Heck, debt that child will pay. Like what the fudge. The wrap-up of the story becomes sad because of this part. I have high hopes that they also have a reunion at the modern but oh well. I'm not always into open endings but I hope they had other lives and they live on their happiest moments.

Special mentioned to Prince Feng and his supposed bride. Throughout the series, I kinda hoping that Qing will rewrite the story and bring back this couple. I was imagining what would happen if they developed. But I guess, Qing was satisfied with the ending so am I.

Overall, this was a wrap! The progress of leads was never boring and even though the relationship started in the middle, it did not feel like it! Especially there's a lot of happening at the first part. I like how to balance the peace and chaos in this series. They allow the characters to have peaceful moments and to enjoy and have memories with each other. Even though this was categorized as romcom, I was astonished that it has a shade of dark theme, not a shallow plot and it did not feel cringe at any comical scene they had. Maybe because the humor in this series was more on to Qing's personality which became natural, funny, and adorable.

be patient with the first 3eps, because it's getting good!

maybe you're here because you didn't like the first ep (because I did read some reviews too hehe)

I blame it all on my idealistic romance that after the first series, they will get along, smooth sail and sweet things happened in the first eps. *Because it wasn't. That's why I was disappointed at first eps and became annoyed with FL. BUT realizing her point of view, her worries and rants have solid and reasonable ground especially if we put our shoes on the realistic couple and their role bestowed upon them by the crowd and responsibilities. You might get her attitude if you continue watching, especially if you're a woman or someone who can relate to or maybe understand her. And well, we know that Rong has a temper and extreme side.

IF YOU MANIFESTING AND INVESTING MUCH TIME (like I did) to their story. Continue watching because you'll never be disappointed. Ghad! This couple was unbreakable! Their trust and understanding of each other grow beyond any tribulation that I think, struggles and dilemmas become playthings or nothing to them as the series progresses. So if you're worrying about having heartbreaking breakups with these two, I've got your back! Because rest assured that these two are indestructible through thick and thin! For someone who was traumatized by laughing-then-crying series (hehe), this became my savior and hope to live.

There were also new characters that were more complex than the last series. And there was a side character that had a trait of fierce, cool, and confident FL. Her stories may become interesting and can have a separate story but I am kinda hesitant about her partner hehe. Maybe that's how the director team made her character subtle. Oh well, it's still nice nice.

OVERALL, this sequel IS NOT FLOP! It allowed us to see that love grows slowly even after getting a happy ending. Their trust grows fruitful. Petty arguments become nothing as they become sync with each other even with just gestures and eye contact. You'll be more attached to them in this series. Ghad! My favorite part was the last ep. That scene was epic!

So now, go and be patient! Watch it and you'll believe that freakin' love does exist!

Smooth like Butter but with bitter aftertaste

The first thing I liked in this series was how the process was smooth like butter. Nyhaha the confession was simple, the misunderstanding was not that angsty feeling, and they both feel each other (like sync).

I want to say much about the main characters but, as someone who is always driven by the 2nd character, his suffering was unbearable! I dunno if this was me, paying attention to 2nd character than ML but I think, FL and 2nd character had more memories than the couple hehe. I found it quite unfair for the 2nd character to do all for the FL but the FL always takes it lightly (not that she intentionally did that, I think that's how it works for a person who is in love--I dunno). I'm forever rooting for 2nd character like this!

Many characters change their personality as the story proceeds. Most of them were annoying at first but became better as the eps ran.

The ending? Net says it's a happy ending. For me, it is not. nyhahha that's the bitter side for me. At the last 5 eps, I can't help but feel annoyed by FL. Annoyed to the situation she only thinks one way because that's the only way. In my perspective, this kind of sacrifice shows selfishness instead of being selfless. It's like, she was blinded by that hope that her life would save everyone and started to disregard the pain and bitter taste it left to people who loved her. That's not a better ending for me. People who were left behind will live in an empty void and the last will cannot prevent that (demanding they should live a happy life and such).

But overall, I like the process they had. The characters were awesome in a way they grew for the worse or for the better.

ML is on my list of fave character!

Ghad! ML was so so so mwah! His character was so interesting. Like how he treats the situations and that phrase "I have a plan" shep! He has both sides which is why I freakin love his character. FL was not annoying. She understood the ML but still did not agree that he was right. Maybe not everyone likes that. That's why, some may not like it. Her resourcefulness and wit were underrated because of how she approached the situations but we can't deny that her wit saved them in things that were trivial and essential. I kinda like how compatible her attitude to the ML. AND DEFINITELY, how they handle each other! I was satisfied with how fast the pace was and it elaborated the topic like "After they fall in love, what's next?". The fast pace gave way to that plot and the confession was smooth... not much annoyance. For a light plot, I love this one. Smooth ride yet there's still a twist or thrill here and there.

True hidden gem indeed!

At first, I was kinda hesitant because the plot was not familiar but I'm glad I continue it! This is my first cdrama that depicts the MC with family-oriented traits. Her family is cool too! Light and easygoing. Strong and clear. Special mention to their housemaids. So cool and awesome! It's warm and so so refreshing.

I really like the FL here. Truly, she's forthright, brave, and wholesome throughout the series. Like, consistent is 10/10! Love did not make her weak but strong and more frank ahahaha. I really like that she defeated lots of struggles and crossed many boundaries of typical stereotypes.

Kiddos to ML. I like how they gave him emotions. I like ML's attitude and how he's not secretive in dumb ways. He has different aspects than other series I've watched. I salute his choices for not holding for the revenge he seeks (bonus part! He did not do that for the sake of love! He did that for himself and his family!)

I truly adore their relationship! No secret that is kept hidden for a long time so it's not annoying. It's awesome that their minds were in sync! Even one is hot-tempered and one is so calm! They do understand each other even when one acts weirdly (well, she's always like that but ya know! They use their minds to avoid annoying misunderstandings!) Nyahahah I really like relationships with mutual understanding in all aspects. GHAD, this story is truly a gem! The blend is so well. Now that I realize, the MC is quite excellent in many ways. The relationship they have is really profound and trustful.

Some parts gave me Whoa and "What the fudge?" but it is what it is.

There were characters that were so disappointing. Like they choose the doom path but oh well. But the Karma is still not convincing! They deserve more gruesome punishment within themselves!

On the other hand, I'm the kind of guy who's always rooting for the 2nd character. I'm glad they did not wreck him huhh but as usual, I'm always wishing that he has a happy ending too but I guess it takes time.

MUST watch! You'll probably get bored if you do not get the essence of this story but you must try to find the hidden gem within this series!

WHY SO GOOD?!

It took me hours to find this awesome series!

If you're looking for a duo WHO WORK SIDE BY SIDE IN CHILL MANNER. Then, try this one.

Prod: eye capture scene were the best! The transition was awesome to!

So, I would like to put some notes whenever I want while watching because I'm afraid that there wholesome characters might change as the the eps progress.

Stopping to ep 8: Ghad! One of the best FL when it comes to diverse temper and personality. Not your damsel in distress, she dresses like a man but never denies that she's a woman. She points out clues and reveals threads (using her beloved tool!) to solve each cases. Indeed, it's wholesome from the start because she was an officer with wit, strength, quirkiness, and temper! She is treated fairly and does not point her gender to her capabilities. LOVE FOOD and money! I love her already!

Unexpectedly, ML is competing with FL's complex personality. With his cruel and cold behavior, you can see how deep his vengeance and thirst for revenge and anger even without emphasizing it. His calm demeanor yet dangerous portrays, tells me that this is a bomb. I'm curious how he will turn out.

For the progress of their rs. I like that ML does not give a f to what FL does. (IN a good way). I mean, he let her do her job. Well, maybe because they are still not that attached to each other and the fondness is just blooming, but I kinda respect and like the ML because of that.

Then the 2nd character. I hoped that her best friend but he was not. Why did I wish that? because this is my 1st series in watching cdrama that 2nd character annoyed me much. I'm always rooting for 2nd character and wishing that the writer would not wreck them as their love story with the FL was ill-fated. This 2nd character was gutless and baka. For the first eps, he takes advantage of attachments and feelings and his reasons for everything are lame and flop. But I'm not angry though. If the 2nd character is nah, then I'm free from having sympathy with them and just focus on the main leads!

EP 9- talking about maggots while eating was the best ahahaha

So... I forgot to continue taking notes HAHAHA BECAUSE I enjoyed it a lot!

AT the end, I did not become annoyed with 2nd character. On the contrary, I fond to like him because he realized his idiocy and I realized it's not his fault that he's a dumbass. I liked his rs towards the lead at the end. Side characters were the best too. I loved how her brother has happy ending with well deserved sister yieee.

OVERALL, I like that the ending was so good! like all was resolved!My annoyance towards the villain was well spent. They end up together without angsty feeling that why if I want to revisit series, I'll put this on my list. FL the best personality ever! Well, because she was consistent! Love money, food, and good at fighting! Well, the ML was consistent too because he never changed his demeanor even after falling in love. That's the reality here! He was nice up to start, he just don't have someone he cares about not until Jun Xia!

Ghad, I really love this series!
