It's not romance... It's BROMANCE!

I've just finished it and still have swollen eyes from crying but... I loved it.

I started watching this drama hoping for some another good romance with Neo Hou as a ML and I could say that this drama is everything besides that. So if you are reading this looking for some passionate love story - you won't find it.
BUT... If you like kind of found family vibes, excellent bromance, absurdly beautiful cast, awesome OST and you are angst enjoyer - you hit the bull's-eye!

At first I want to say that this drama is real eyecandy! I've watched so so many dramas already but it's 1st one where even side characters were so pretty! Sometimes it was really hard for me to focus on the plot as I got distracted by all those handsome actors so much. I can't even tell which character I loved the most but I'm really impressed with awesome acting of Neo Hou, Tian Jia Rui and Yan An. They portrayed their characters so damn well and their dynamics was sooooooooooooo good. But on the other hand - I feel like FL was totally outshined by male leads. Wen Xiao was a nice character but compared to the rest she seemed so plain. At some point I totally stopped caring about her and her 'romance' with ZYZ as I was so invested with our boys (ZYZ, ZYC and Li Liun) and their complicated relationships... ZYZ & ZYC and ZYZ & Li Liun chemistry was just off the chart (maybe I watched too many BLs but it felt as a love triangle between them in some parts, lol)!

Besides that I really liked the found family vibe - it was wholesome! Side characters also gave their best and their stories were really interesting and made me care for them (and weep for them...). This drama was a real rollercoaster of emotions for me - it made me laugh and cry so many times... Additionaly OST was a chef's kiss - so beautiful and well matched.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this one! Watch it, you won't regret this! But be aware - grab some tissues...

Not bad but lacking

At first I want to mark that I jumped to this drama straight from "Hard to Find" to see more of Zhao Yi Qin cuz I rly liked his acting in mentioned production, but... I kinda feel disappointed. Main issue with this drama is that story is rather lacking in later half and mostly we just see daily life of our 2 couples, which wouldn't be so bad if a chemistry between main leads wasn't so average. Honestly, I think that in this part I was more invested in our 2nd leads story... Other thing I'm kind of annoyed is jump skip in the end. In one moment it seems that it will end in tragedy but just moment later, and without much explanation everything is good and male leads are back as nothing ever happened, like wtf? So...
It's rather avarage drama, something to watch between better productions but nothing really memorable.

The delusion that it would last forever...

I've just finished this drama and my eyes are still wet from crying... Lastly I had some drama burnout and couldn't find any drama to keep me invested and then I found this... I don't know what I expected but I defo wasn't ready for this. It's really beautiful drama, tragic but indeed beautiful. I liked kind of enemy to lovers trope and chemistry between leads was really on point with rollercoaster of emotions. Story had some minor issues but overall it was good. I'm really glad that it didn't have any overdragged plots and it was rather fast-paced. I like how this love triangle was resolved and how supportive second leads were. I hoped to the last moment that it would end differently but yeah... I was delusional. OST is really beautiful and touching, it suits story so well. Rewatch value is like zero for me cause damn, I don't want to cry again.

To summarize, if you are looking for beautiful, touching historical/fantasy drama with tragic ending - you MUST watch it.
But if you are looking for some lighthearted drama to cheer you up - DON'T, just keep scrolling, and don't jump into this sorrow pit.

It's just very bad recap

I didn't expect much from this movie as I've read all your reviews before watching it but it still left me totally disappointed...
My main issue with it is that I can't really grasp which audience directors had in mind - for fans like me it should contain more new scenes, not only some crumbs and I defo wouldn't recommend this for a new people as editing was such a mess and everything what I loved in the series wasn't here, it felt totally dry and hectic. It isn't even good as a short "recap" cuz all best scenes, all teasing and magic is gone. Soooo... If you want to watch new scenes just watch the beginning and ending and if you are interested in 2gether just go watch the series and don't waste your time for this.

Not too left, not too right, not too perfect... still good match

I have really mixed feelings about this drama. It started really good and I was hooked from very beginning and I couldn't stop myself from watching next epiosodes and in the end I binge-watched this and "Still 2gether" and defo I don't regret this. This drama has many sweet and funny moments and even side-characters are rly nice, only thing lucking is intimacy. Before Tine and Wat started dating it was good but after that I kinda expected their relationship to be more intimate. And yep I know it was filmed during covid so its not even about some crazy kisses scenes (can't say it wouldn't be nice though) but it felt more like watching bromance in some parts. I rly understand that every couple is different and not everybody likes skinship (I'm this kind of person myslef) but still something was missing... At first I gave this series lower rating but after finishing "Still 2gether" I changed it as I realized how much this drama grew on me and how much I will miss my time with those characters. In the end I even started listning to Scrubb songs altough I dont unerstand the lyrics but now I can "feel it" and damn... Tine and Sarawat defo own them now :D So... Yes, this drama has some flaws but it's still rly good one so I can recommend it wholeheartedly. And for me... I just started rewatching :)
