FL overacting spoilt a drama of great potential

Though the story has its own flaws but in my opinion the flaws can be ignored if the performing artists are convincing enough ...
I have seen the ML in back from the brink and honestly his performance as a support role was way better than this one as the main role ..though he tried to maintain the composure of a fox demon and conveyed his emotions of rage quite well but the romantic scene were a little off ...
As for FL, she was disaster .. very non spontaneous though her character is comic and it demands spontaneity yet she tried to cover her horrible performance with over acting which made it even worse ... For example whenever she acted the drunk her performance clearly wanna apart ...
Chemistry between the leads is totally off .. even this kissing scene didn't resonate the emotions ..for some reason I felt they were not comfortable together...

Story was bit slow ... Dynamics of twists were missing ..comedy punches were weak,performed by even weaker artist.

Re-watch value zero

Don't judge the series just by initial few episodes..

The plot is rather frustrating & slow paced at the beginning as we see ML dies without doing much and FL hopelessly bullied by even the servants of the household.I thought of dropping it around episode 8 glad I didn't.
As anyone would expect the return of ML to life and taking it further with the revenge ...but to my surprise first half was totally about FL avenging her husband's death,all alone.
HONESTLY THIS WAS NEW AND THE BEST THING ABOUT THE STORY.

in the first half, she SINGLEHANDEDLY won against the villian. her planning,execution,devotion and focus to the target was commendable,like she was willing to even give away her body to serve her revenge WHAT A BEAUTIFULLY DARK FL ?
The story had some very sensitive plots break like rape and assault to the point of miscarriage but I believe not every story can serve the purpose of fairytale.some series are better off without vanilla romance

Huge appreciation to Vincent who played this disgusting to the core psychopath rapist villian.

If only the story was a little better ....

Actors were good characters were lost ...

Story started good with 'avenge the father death' plot so I was expecting the FL to have be smart,strong and independent person .. she even took a strong decision of changing her appearance ..but as the story flows I can't help but question how someone so stupid as her can become a doctor. Her character was slow ,boring and irritating like she believes every crap she is been told by absolutely anyone and even after committing grave mistake like stabbing a person she walks around shamelessly ... No regret whatsoever .. futher stabbed him second time for the same confusion without being bother to clarify the theory ... Though stupid characters add dimension to a story but seriously this stupid ..???

Adding to the glory of FL ML was equally annoying ..he is living in a delulu that he can save the world by his silence. He has this intention off giving away every useless crap but any important information ..

But as dramas are purely fictitious we cant think of relating them to logic . I mean it takes away the fun ..

Story could have been better as it moves slow and few things (like what her father's imperial army was like ) remained a bit loose and confusing

Worth watching ?? Yes ... For one time why not ???

Worth Repeat watching ... Aahhhh !!! Nope ?

Pre world war era .. 1937-1945 sino Japan war time setting.

It is my first time watching something that expresses pre world war era with chinese POV ... It is always the west countries who propagate their narrative of the world war.... So in my opinion the theme was very refreshing to those who have intellect to feel it... Other than that there was one more thing that I found very impressive is the FL character ... Her potential ..her strong will ..her intelligence ... I love the way she kept her mission over everything .... She is an inspiration for thousands of girls out there who just look for a chance to give up on their already good for nothing career just to get laid ... No offense but we need more of such character to show the world what real feminism means ...
ML was amazing as ever I have seen him in a couple of shows and the characters like marshal ... Governor ..etc actually suit him him ...the authority of a strong character actually appears through him quite effortlessly ...

After reading few review I çame to understand some people found the ending quite confusing .. actually after death of general Yamamoto Japanese had to postpone the war ..which gave qin city enough time me to call for extra troops that led to their victory in the region after just a few months of struggle .. As the FL says winter has started ...we will meet when the spring bloom .." hope this helps ????

The drama in my opinion is worth watching I beleive anyone can put atleast one reason forward to appreciate the beautiful story ...

(Of course not for those who are living in a bubble and treat every love story as soft porn )

This one is going to stay in my heart forever

Different dramas hit differently to different people ... As for me "back from the brink" is the one that is going to stay at the top in my heart forever ..
The story along with its executive was superb,everything from VFX to background music was so spot on like the team behind the camera is as enthusiast as the actors in making this into a masterpiece piece.
We discuss about the cast and their acting ..the dragon King "tianyao" NEO Hao, he played it so well I mean I have seen a lot different actors playing dragon God dragon/King but he is the closet thing to a dragon King in my imagination..his expression ...his smile ...the calmness in his aura ... Gosh ! OUTSTANDING... He makes you wanna worship him like a dragon God ...iykyk ... This was my first thing me watching him and he left this everlasting impression that he is going to be my fav asian actor.
Zhou ye was as amazing as always ..she is the only actress who is so cute but doesn't rely on her cuteness but actually works hard on her acting ... Her energy and dialogue delivery is so spontaneous. I love her ?
Other actors did equally brilliant ..I can't pick out any negative thing about this drama ...

(Shhh actually I can .... The only negative thing was ,it had only 40 episodes ?‍??‍??‍??‍??‍??‍?
Good things come to an end so quickly ...)

Title tracks and OST were so good ...infact The closing track was sung by NEO himself ...I put it as my ringtone ..hehe !!

Lastly ...
Am I going to watch it again ... ABSOLUTELY may be after 5-6 months ..I know I will never get bored of this one.
(Am I looking for season 2 .. Season 2 is not possible cause the original story in novel is completed in the show.)

I want to hit my head against the wall

Such a nonsensical plot filled with just crap and idiocy.
First let's talk about lead actors
Guan Yue was just okay ..I have seen his other shows and genuinely he was not even half as good in this one. Blame it on his weak character or pathetic dialogue writing ..but I like nothing about his character or act.

Now FL !!! Her face looked so beat-up like she is coming to the shooting straight out of her bed ... Her hairstyle was lame ... And did she even take a bath ??? How can someone look so sleepy in the entire show .. and her acting is even more pathetic.. for this weird and complicated character I prefer an actress who can atleast look more AWAKE.

The side character ... Like her bFF and the internet celeb guy were horrible as well ..

Spoiler alert: the FL is having illusions of her boss (ML) where she is imaging him in a bath robe saying all the naughty stuff. ~ Girl !! First of all being attracted to someone is a normal thing but the extremes of your illusions say you are watching too much porn .. all girls have fantasy of being wild with their partners/romantic interests but this is insane, you need help ... Visit a good psychiatrist or reach to some rehab centre...
Infact, It turned so annoying that you will get confused what is real and what's her illusion ..so damn messy.
On top her "won't date won't marry" rule ; like gimme a break! you are ready to climb up his bed ..you are having illusions of him doing the BDSM all day long .. you looked like you are so deprived of a Pen*s .. now with such fragile sexual compass you can not have that heavy "no date no marriage" rule ...


In the end I felt I was totally drained of my patience and ability to take nonsense though I just completed half of the episodes. (Enough to make a clear judgement)

I don't recommend this one at all .

I don't understand the fuss about this show .. it was boring

After reading a lot of comments and reviews I started watching the show ... But I don't think it is worth the hype ... Richard was the only good thing about this show ..story sucked . . FL character sucked ..her acting sucked ... Momentum of the plot sucked ... It was surely not my cup of tea ... The worst thing was the dimwit FL even if I ignore the cringe dialogue still overall character was pathetic .. she is sort of an undercover agent yet she has no sense of entering a place stealthily... She just walks like a stupid person right in the middle of hall ... Worst undercover agent in history ... Please stop writing such retard female lead characters ...women can play better undercover agents why tf do these writers turn them so cliche and cringe ... Pfft!!!

And the LEGACY continues with new lead faces

Well !! After finishing Season 1, it was hard not to miss the original cast...like seriously ... While Ahn Hyo Seop and Lee Sung Kyung are my absolute favourites , it was natural to feel nostalgic for the previous crew. However, if you watch Season 2 with some time gap between, you’ll love this season just as much as the first.

The side cast largely remains the same providing continuity and despite the change in leads, the team dynamic is still strong. The interactions and relationships among the characters remain compelling, with Teacher Kim once again at the center, mentoring and guiding the new doctors with his usual brilliance.

Just like in the first season, the medical cases are accurate and informative. The terminology and procedures are correct, which adds authenticity to the show. However, I felt like there were fewer medical cases this time around compared to Seas


The chemistry between the new leads is wonderful And Their shared history as classmates gave their love story a cutesy feel to it . The male lead though talented has a troubled past involving his family and a senior doctor who lost his license over illegal surgeries. While our the female lead struggles with OR phobia and can't perform surgeries.


Teacher Kim’s role as a wise mentor is still intact he helps both leads with their respective issues thus nurturing them into brilliant medical practitioners

What sets this season apart:

1. The previous season was more or less about cases involving common people but this time it was given A political edge, particularly with a major case involving the Minister of Defense.


2. The number of medical cases is lower with the focus gradually shifting towards a trauma center setup from the previous hospital setup.


3. The leads have more complex and morally grey backstories compared to the previous ones.



Definitely worth watching ??

IMMORAL AND DISGUSTING

congratulations to the chinese writers at last they wrote something so nauseating that has broken all records ... Where to start with ... Let's talk about the LOVE STORY ... The ML is sleeping away with his cheap concubine who harasses the FL ,who is further physically abused by someone as lowly as a palace guard ... She is forced to jump off the cliff and compromise between life and death ..she is left all injured even her face can't be saved ..yet the shameless ML says he is doing all this out of love to save her ..bosdi k (MOFO) if this is love then people don't need enemies .. she is forced to jump off the cliff and commit suicide cause he wants to save her ....
Just catch the bloody writer and shoot him/her on the spot ... This type of stories are not good for any society's morals ...and by all means I wish the writer is forced to jump a multi story building for their lover's attempt to keep them save ... Let him/ her have the taste of their own medicine ...

Seriously I am beyond myself with rage on what in the f-king world I just watch ... Pathetic hopeless ...this is against the entire human race ... The day people will start making their lover jump the cliff the entire human race will come to an end ...


I strongly recommend don't watch it ...

Leia Mais

short ..crisp and inclusive

first of all daisy li is so beautiful ... lets take a moment to appreciate her beauty ..and of course her acting

now the story which as we know revolving around a woman who will willing to avenge the death of her family by a opium trafficing mafia ... as such there is nothing unique in the plot but i like all stories that have strong smart and independent FL ... the chemistry between leads was bomb even when they were playing reluctant of each other's identities. on the whole it;s ok ok

worth rewatching ???
ahh i dont think so but okay for one time watching

Check-In for the brilliant Cast, Check-Out for the Plot

Let’s be real—the show rolls out the same tired plot we’ve seen a million times: the classic heir versus the illegitimate child in an epic struggle for inheritance. Honestly, I could hear the collective groan of K-drama fans everywhere as we trudge through this overused storyline. The opening had me intrigued, but somewhere between the predictable plot twists and lackluster drama,I found myself wishing for a quick escape halfway through


Speaking of the cast, they do have their charm. I’m a fan of Lee Dong Wook, Lee Da Hae, Lee Deok Hwa, and Kim Hae Sook. Lee Da Hae nailed the mischievous young heiress vibe, adding just the right amount of sass to her character. But let’s be honest—Lee Dong Wook stole the show. I mean, the man looked so dapper in his suits that you’d almost consider getting pregnant just from a glance! (I know you’re imagining it too!)


In the end, I have mixed feelings about this drama. If you have a high threshold for boring plots and clichés, go ahead and check in. Otherwise, you might find yourself longing for a better stay elsewhere!

Timeless charm ❤️❤️

I initially avoided You're Beautiful due to its unappealing wallpaper, lackluster print, and an ordinary synopsis. But to my surprise, I had completely underestimated it. While the first episode was a bit of a slog, after skipping through some cringe-worthy parts, I reached a point where the story truly became engaging.

Though it may not be the best drama by today's standards, back in 2009, it must have been a blockbuster. Watching it made me nostalgic for the days when concealer doubled as nude lipstick, and bold pink blush was considered high-end fashion.

The plot is cute, old-school romantic, sweet, and family-oriented with a delightful comedic touch. And most importantly, there are no overly dramatic kisses—sometimes going back to basics can feel so refreshing! The chemistry between Park Shin Hye and Jang Geun Suk is absolutely heartwarming, and I found myself falling in love with this couple. It reminded me of Boys Over Flowers with the girl being adored by three boys, but in some ways, this one was even better (no sudden trips abroad to separate the leads!).

What’s fascinating is seeing so many familiar faces from modern K-dramas, like Park Shin Hye, Kim In Kwon, and Sung Byung Sook. The drama also showcased Korea’s impressive technology, which was already advanced back in 2009, and it's clear that even before the global Hallyu wave, Korean dramas were making their mark.

All in all, You're Beautiful may have flown under the radar for some, but it's a drama that still holds its charm and is better than many overrated modern shows. It’s sweet, nostalgic, and surprisingly refreshing!

If you wanna experience the feeling like sitting in the sun on a cold afternoon, this one will make you feel that way ... Please give it a try and you will not regret ...

"DOCTORS: prescription for DISAPPOINTMENT"

This show sets high expectations with its title, hinting at a medical-heavy plot, but the reality is far from that. Despite its dramatic title, medicine barely makes up 15% of the storyline. For anyone hoping for genuine medical insight, this show may feel like a letdown, especially compared to others like Dr. Romantic, which focuses a solid 80% on medical content and offers far more authentic hospital drama.

The love story in Doctors feels forced, and the chemistry between the leads lacks depth—particularly on the male lead's side. While I admire Park Shin Hye, even her charm couldn't salvage the awkward dynamic between the couple. There’s a certain stiffness in their romantic moments that feels off, and it's disappointing because both actors are incredibly talented.

Lee Sung Kyung is versatile, but her character in Doctors is frustratingly flat and indecisive, leaving her little to work with. It’s far from her best role, and her potential seems wasted. Yoon Kyun Sang, too, is underwhelming, playing a character that merely fills the gaps in the story without adding much to the overall plot.

Sadly, Doctors fails to impress across the board. Neither the story nor the cast stand out, and the music is forgettable. This is the kind of show you start, intending to finish, but ultimately abandon halfway through, never to return. ?
