Cinematography, Production and Acting makes this drama the best of 2024

beein watching this drama, and I have been obsessed with the scenes and cinematography. Usually, with cdramas once FL and ML start dating, the storyline becomes less attractive, and I usually drop it. But this drama!! despite the cheesiness and all those lovey dovey stuff, it has me watching scene by scene. And the biggest reason for this is mainly the director’s work (no I’m not dissing the scriptwriter in any way). So, for anyone who thinks is it worth watching? yes it is, but if you can’t stand too much cheesiness, then maybe you won’t like it after ep 12 lol

A good historical drama

I have watched many Chinese costume dramas, and this one is one of the most well-made dramas. The storyline is really good and the acting of FL makes it even better. Not only the FL, but the ML, side characters, all of them are so perfectly placed, it couldn't be any more perfect.
I usually pay a lot of attention to scripts. The dialogue and the way each character enters or contributes to the plot is very good. A lot of dramas as such have a very typical story, but this one is quite well-presented. I would definitely recommend this drama to anyone who is a fan of costume dramas.

An objectively a good k-drama

I have been reading all the comment reviews about this drama based on recent episodes and I kind of disagree with the ones hating on the storyline and the drama itself. Personally, I believe this might be one of the top kdramas this year so far.
Let's start with the story's pace: compared to other people, the pace of the storyline and episodes is good! If they had made it a 14 or 16-episode drama, it would've lost its ratings easily. They gave a maximum of 1/2 episode of their romance, which is fine with me.
Next, "Dohan is being selfish" Yes he was being selfish but I began liking him at ep10 when he has that moment of self-realization and he steps in to defend them both, but their grandpa stops him (the press conference).
For me, the characters are well-made but yes maybe because they're rushing it so it makes us, viewers, feel uncomfortable with how the story is turning out

One of the best coming-of-spring kdramas so far

I'm still sad about the fact TVN cut this drama to 12 ep instead of 16 eps just because of low ratings. The drama is literally such a masterpiece. The cinematography gives so much comfort and warm feels to it, you can actually feel the warmness when you watch it.
Jung Haein's acting never disappoints and tbh this drama should rank one of his best ones out there. He adds so much emotion and expression to it. FL is also very good, I have loved her acting for a long time, and she was perfect for this role.

Storyline itself is written well. Although the start might not have that "hook" that usually most kdrama writers use in the first two episodes, you have to watch it very closely to actually understand the drama's progression. A lot of people think this drama's "technological" element let it down, but I think it's something very new.

Overall, I think this drama is just too perfect for masses to truly appreciate, so I'll be the only advocate for this lol
