All In Good Fun

This show is so ridiculous. I loved it. It is fun and funny.

This show is not to be taken too seriously. It's like an old fashioned Melodrama. The characters are over the top and silly but humerous and entertaining. The undervoice dialogue is often hilarious. That was the best part. It is a big contrast from other serious shows by these actors but I am sure the actors all had a total blast making it. I wonder if they were able to ad lib their own audible thoughts. The plot is ridiculous and story sometimes doesn't make sense but who cares? It is not high drama but just for fun.

And contrary to a previous review it doesn't make fun of people with disabilities. That would imply he is typecast as villainous because of his disabilities. A person's character is not based on their physical abilities. That person should finish the series and not be so quick to judge and condemn.

Brotherhood not BL

Contrary to what some people imply this show is not a BL. And truthfully, as much as I love BLs I didn't miss it.
From the beginning I was sucked in to this show. The characters are fun, the story is full of unsual twists. It was sweet, funny, endearing and very engaging.
Our lives are full of meaningful, platonic relationships. This story is a wonderful tale of friendship, family and brotherhood. It shouldn't be de-valued because the brothers don't want to snog each other.
If I had one complaint it would be that Chu Yi is over the top in competence and curtesy. But his irreverant brother Beichen balances him out
I really loved this show. It was entertaining and enjoyable. Since this left things a bit unresolved I really hope there is a season 2.

What Happened?

UPDATE: They finally added the last 2 episodes. This stll has some unresolved issues but mostly was good.

If this series is really over then it sucks. Nothing is resolved. The episodes are short and alot of time was wasted on pointless scenes between annoying side characters which didn't advance the plot at all. They main characters didn't confess to each other. None of the bad guys have been cnfronted or dealt with. The well endowed but personality lacking female love interest of Satha has no clue he is no longer interested because she only appeared for a random dance group conflict which has no bearing on the plot. That feels unresolved as is the friend who actually likes her. Also 5 minutes before the show ended they begin to plan a trip.
Only one part of this series feels complete. Out of the blue one side couple got a happy ending. There was no foreshadowing that this was going to be a couple. They just got drunk and next morning had apparently slept together and once the shock wore off the formerly straight guy decided he wanted to be with his gay friend.

Perhaps MyDramaList is incorrect in the information that this series will only have 10 Episodes ending August 29, 2021. But as it stands this is a poor excuse for a series. I really hope there is more to come. This doesn't even feel complete as a first season with more to come if by chance that is the plan.

Jang Bong Hwan got the shaft.

I really wish they gave Jang Bong Hwan more closure. They could have had him meeting the king as a reincarnated person in modern times. The poor king fell in love with a person and lost them. He was stuck with a pale shadow of a personality. He could at least be reunited with his soulmate in a later life. Also Hang Bong Hwan as the queen made deep bonds with the maids and others. He fought life and death situations with them. He should have seen some of them as reincarnated characters in his time. He did all the work for saving their lives and then all those people were taken away. The quitter queen reaped all the benefits.

A Waste Of Time

Really lame. The girl starts out a strong, kick butt, take charge woman. Immediately becomes selfish, weak and useless. In the end she can't save anyone and he dies.
This show tries to be funny but is just stupid. Much of it makes no sense.
It was badly translated on iQiyi where I watched it. Did he call her a prostitute? Did she call him a prostitute or what? Sentences were incomplete. The dialogue when he was dying made no sense at all. I wondered if the translation was of the lyrics of the background song instead of the dialog itself.
I watched the first 30 and last 20 minutes. What a waste of time.

Beautful Story. Beautifully Well Acted.

Beautiful. Sweet. Hilarious. Sensual and Tragic. The actors are amazing in this beautiful story. I loved it so much. But you better have a box of tissues for the final episode. Or skip it altogether and pretend it ended happy;)  But there are some beautiful parts in the final episode as well. Some characters get a happy ending.
My only complaint other than the tragic death was a particular character in the final episode who didn't make sense and merely muddied the story creating confusion. In fact because of this brief non plot pertinent appearance I wasn't even sure of the outcome of the previous episode until halfway through the last.
