Just my thoughts after I finished watching...

AFTER I FINISHED WATCHING THE DRAMA

I really enjoyed the romance between the adult main characters. They had great chemistry.
The drama also touched on several topics related to the problems of Korean society, such as the pressure parents put on their children to study. And that leads to the question of what eventually happened to Sua? It seemed that in the earlier episodes she had quite a lot of screen time, but eventually she was forgotten and the creators focused on explaining the mysterious plot, the solution of which was obvious anyway.
Also what about Hui Jae and his mother? They went on a trip and suddenly everything was fine? I feel it's not enough to close their story.
I really enjoyed this drama until it turned out that the stories of several characters were not properly closed. Also, the dark plot took up a bit too much screen time, because only one person could really be the culprit - especially considering that the creators wanted to direct suspicion to Hui Jae in the first place.
But most of the time I had fun watching this drama. So my rating hasn't dropped much.

AFTER I WATCHED 9 EPISODES
Rating 10/10
We knew from the beginning that there is some mystery in this drama. So we know that finally the dark subplot will be resolved. However, at the moment, most of the scenes are lighter and mostly do not refer to the dark part of the drama. This is quite a typical treatment in Korean productions, and I like it.

In the drama, we also have mothers obsessed with their children's education. Including one really annoying mother-daughter duo.

So far, I really like everything about this drama and I'm looking forward to the next episodes.

AFTER I WATCHED 1 EPISODE
Rating: 8/10

I like that it looks like we've already gotten some introduction to all or most of the threads that will be covered in the drama. The first episode gave me the feeling that it will be a bit of a cute, sometimes dark story with humour typical of Korean productions. I really like actress Roh Yoon Seo and at the moment I watched all the things she starred in. I have high hopes for her character.

I've seen comments about FL looking old. Well, the actress is almost 50 years old and is 10 years older than the actor playing the role of ML. Of course, it can be seen sometimes. But it's not so noticeable that some people make such a big deal of it. They both look great and fit their roles.

I think I'll like this drama, but we'll see. So far it looks really good.

Realistic Tempo Drama

This drama started off strong. The cinematography was above average for a chinese drama, and it avoided many, if not most of the clichès one can expect when watching a historical Chinese drama.

The first episode was very, very good, and promising. The reason why I chose to drop this drama, was simply because I felt extremely bored by the realistic tempo. What I mean by that is that the story was very simple and unfolded very, very slowly. Now, normally, I would call this draggy, but because it fits the realistic atmosphere of the drama, I will just say it was a realistic speed. This is just like Story of Ming Lang, which was also just too slow to keep my attention (but fit the realistic story).

It was really nice to see the character dynamics between the ML and FL. They are both characters that you could automatically enjoy watching together, and the realistically slow way in which they earned each other's trust after their arranged marriage was both sweet and refreshing to see.

I dropped this, so I can't give an overall review, but I would say that what I did see was original and well done.

Başrol oyuncuları

üç krallık gibi efsanevi bir dizinin unutulmaz başrol oyuncularından lu bu (peter ho) canlandırmış biri için oldukça yavaş ve sakin bir dizi........ diziyi çok beğenmekle birlikte kadın başrol oyuncusunu nihayet iyi bir rolde görmek beni sevindirdi..... dizi ile ilgili tek eleştirim başrolde oynayan erkek oyuncu için Peter Ho yu yaşlanmış buldum ve bu diziyi ona pek yakıştıramadım onu çin dramalarının en iyi dizilerinden birinde izleyince bu dizide görmek beni oldukça şaşırttı başrol oyuncularının arasındaki yaş farkını da değerlendirince cast seçimi farklı olabilirdi ...

Bad Writing and casting

First of all let me get this out of the way; I am a Xing Fei fan. I like her in the vast majority of the Storylines she is in, but this one. You all gave her a weak script and Storyline to work with.

This Storyline misses the mark by a mile. Bad writing and producing causes this Drama to derail. I am trying my best to finish this Drama. They have the typical Chinese storyline with the Rich, spoiled , can get his way, arrogant, needs his butt beat, but doesn't happen ML. They also have the poor, mumbling, started out strong meets the rich guy and becomes weak minded FL. This is 21st Century and some Chinese Producers/Writers are making Dramas where the female are subservient to the Males. Why? They always play the rich verses poor, with the rich male getting everything and does nothing wrong. Just in case you don't know, it's called Class Warfare.

Chemistry between Su Nian Nian and Gu Zi Chen is not there. It's a forced romance (because the Produces made it) and it is evident. Gu Zi Chen looks like he prefer men than females. He has a look about him that says I am a pretty boy. Every time he shows up you want to smack him in the face and say get real. Su Nian Nian and Ye Xing Yu would of been a better fit; but in Chinese Storyline typically the rich, arrogant man wins out. Of course the target audience for this type of Drama is for teenagers, because they don't know better.

Su Nian Nian started out as a strong minded , independent female, but as the Drama continues you can see her change. What a shame. She gets a make over and all of a sudden Gu Zi Chen likes her. Really!? She could have been such a positive for young female roles. Chinese writers had the opportunity to make a great female role models and they could of shown that strong minded, independent young females could of had it all too. They miss that mark. Please don't tell me that it's Eastern values verses Western values. I refuse to believe that Eastern women wants to be yanked on, demeaned and a man get in their faces with nothing being done. The father is not listening to his daughter. He just want her to go to that college. Just to pump in the ratings they add a rival in the mix.

I have to asked this question to the Producer and Writers: Do you have a mother or Daughters? Would you like for them to be treated or portrayed like the Female Leads you portray?

Last 3 episodes were the best of the drama. I kept hoping the drama would get better, but it didn't. Best part of the drama, was the scenery. There is more to a drama or storyline than a "So called Cute Male lead" or a "beautiful Female lead". There must be good editing, chemistry, writing and producing, there weren't.

I can't recommend this Drama to be watched. I will not watch it again.

This is the most cringe drama I've watched after Business Proposal

I don't think the writer have ever met an artist in real life or even know a single thing about art and painting.
The ML needs only 1 sec to judge a painting? Lol! Even Picasso wouldn't dare!

I loved Park Min Young in "When the weather is fine". She was pretty good in "What's wrong with Secretary Kim" but here the overacting was pretty bad. Not as bad as the FL in Vincenzo and Business Proposal though. Didn't care about the ML or the story. I liked the brother of the FL.

The only thing this drama accurately depicted was how stupid and embarrassing "fangirling" really is! I guess Korean people/writers are expert in that department.

I don't know why but from all kdrama I've watched, this one (What's Wrong with Secretary Kim) makes me smile all day after watching their scenes. Like seriously ... And i think it's because of their chemistry and they immersed in the acting so much. Plus,they have the same family name in real life that makes me even more like them being together so much. Not sure how others agree on this ans I accept argument too because this is my opinion but strong chemistry while acting that went well is the last time was Descendant of the sun chemistry, then this one ???? Big thumbs up from me.

Offensive and racist Show

The beginning was good, but they decided to ruin it by mentioning Muslims in an insulting and racist way, and talking about the Saudis was their biggest mistake.

Pay your attention to the problems of your own country, which is full of suicides and rape cases, and let's not forget the widespread prostitution in your country, so instead of being preoccupied with the Saudi governance system you should be concerned about your country’s problems.
I don’t recommend anyone to watch it.

OMG it is so irritating to watch this series! I had to drop it! The main leads are so NOT fit for the roles ! The king looks weak and indecisive. The main female lead, her look is so dramatic . She does not look smart to play that role.

The story Line is so poorly written. I just hate it with a passion where misunderstandings arise when people fail to explain The obvious IMPORTANT thing. I don’t understand why the main female lead has to be angry at all he general?! Thing happened that made him misunderstood her, instead of explaining to him she goes “there’s no need for me to explain, you can think of me however you want”!!
And when the maid got raped in her wedding day, no body care to explain to the groom that she got poisoned by the other chick. Also I don’t know understand why They didn’t get married but wait till Concubine Qi suggested.
There are so many damn maids I. The palace and no one bother to watch the kids so they people keep harming them.

All in all...it is just SO IRRITATING to watch this...especially after watching Story of Yanxi Palace!

I just can’t stand main lead faces!!! Both of them are not very attractive. Looks like they got bad plastic surgery or something. Yang mi and Claudia yang are way better looking and acting

Don’t waste your time on this tittle. Watch Story of Yangxi Palace! It is so so so satisfying to watch!!!!!

Warm and cozy!!

I was waiting for this ever since it was announced to be coming soon mainly because of Wang Peng. After watching its trailer I was super excited to watch it because it was so cute warm and cozy. I watched 21 episodes in one go (one day) and loved it.

Ealier I read in one review that the female lead doesn't have much to her character other than the fact that she is a javlien throw athlete. But I found her character very intriguing. She is always there for her friends, is easygoing, has eyes for one person and is consistent and is always true to her feelings. I loved her character and her gang of friends. Though she was underconfident during her high school, her character growth shown throughout the series is great.
The love story protrayed is so cute with extra sweet moments, jealous moments, funny moments all blended beautifully. I felt all good, happy and warm within.

Also many people are complaining because the confession took so long. That's the beauty of it. I know they set eyes on each other since the very beginning but love is all about cultivating. The more you stay together the more you know each other and if you confess it in the very beginning there will be awkwardness somewhere. I think becoming best friends first is very important.

Loved it and would definitely recommend to all.
ITS ALL FEEL GOOD ROMANTIC C-DRAMA you won't regret watching.

Plot is important, something the writer/director/whoever doesn't seem to understand but

..... its okay because the main heroine makes up for it, oh wait no she doesn't.

Three episodes in and I'm majorly struggling. To be fair though, I can be kind of picky but this drama was something else. The first episode was fine. Everything after that went downhill so, so fast.

Where is the plot, people? Where???

This drama has no storyline and it has about 3 main characters, one of which I couldn't care less about. The other characters are so much on the peripheral that they literally have one task in the show each, whether that's solely to listen to the main hero (Winter King) complain or to constantly comment on how weird the main heroine is (dude who works for her).

The main heroine is also realy boring, they haven't developed her character at all and it doesn't seem like they will in the next couple episodes either. She's so hung up on main guy protecting her even though in the first ep she was like, I dont need you anymore. When she was a kid, she used her umbrella. 25 years later and she still has that same umbrella and no self defense/ fighting training at all. You can see why im not convinved that if i stick around for more episodes, they'll give her some growth. They couldn't even do that in 25 years.

Plus idk why we'd even root for her. She has no personality apart from wanting to be protected. If you've watched Master's Sun, then you know that the main girl was absolutely terrified of ghosts but she still aways tried her best to help them. The main heroine here does not. Oh i mean sometimes she'll squat next to a ghost of a child and give him popcorn but that's it.

Also, also, the fact that she has no friends/family. Like i get they want to make her pitiable but now she has no personality AND no people around her. She doesn't even seem to sad about it actually, so why should we?

I really like the main dude though. Until they forced him to fall in love in a desperate attempt to have some sort of plot, ugh. And the soundtrack has been awesome. But that's about it.

I am trying to finish this bad Series. Too much time spent will they or or won't they.

I really am hoping this gets better. Like most Chinese romantic dramas they have the rich male who can do anything and nothing happens to him. They have the mumbling, weak minded, you can do anything to me, low esteem, and pat me on the head like pet when they meet the guy they like, female. They have the oops I tripped and landed on you, let me stare in your eyes or kiss you scene.

Hey Writers and Producers, do you know you can have a nice Romantic Drama, where women are portrayed in a positive light? I just had to put that out there. Here's another thing : The rich male doesn't always have to when and they need their ass whipped every now and then

16 episodes in and it isn't getting any better. The will they or will they not get together is long and drawn out. There isn't any chemistry between Tang Xin and Shen Qing Yuan, it isn't believable that they are in love. Tang allows Shen to jerk her around with nothing said. Then again that is typical in Chinese romantic dramas. Du Ling Feng is a rich brat and he is use to getting his way. The strongest minded person in this series Shi Xiao Ci. Shen Qing Yuan jealousy is over the top borderline obsessives.

I feel this story line should of been only 25 -30 episodes. These will she or won't she episodes are a waste of time. Moving in with him early on and those two playing these games is a waste of time. All you is BLAH BLAH BLAH do you love me ? or Blah Blah Blah I love you ..... but. Ep 19 was a total waste. His jealousy is over the top. I bet he followers her to the bathroom. He can't even see that see is trying to work things out in her mind. She has no room to breath. Tang Xin is an enabler and has low self esteem. She is so smitten that she can't see that he is controlling her. In real life a person that jealous, obsessed and possessive never works out; it's what causes domestic violence to happen.

Ep 22 -25, 29,30 were most interesting yet.

I have to asked this: In whose world does a woman moves in with a guy that told her to stay away from them? I liked Xing Fei in "My little Happiness" her role was positive: In this one she's the weak minded, mumbling, low esteem, smitten lady. You can see that the target audience is 18-25 year old, because most but not all of them don't know better. They look at how cute or how handsome they are. Do they look good together. They don't look at context or contents.

The best part of this Series was the last Episodes 22-25,29,30 and 38-40. Most of the Series dragged on. This Series would of been better if only they made 20-25 Episodes. Most of the Series was a when they are going to get together. They went way overboard in trying the chemistry to work.

The Series is good to watch for the first time, but again to watch it ... No thank you.
