Where is season 2 already?
I really didn't expect to love this series as much as i did. Jang Uk and Mu Doek have chemistry that is off the charts. Whether she's his master, or his maid, every interaction is absolute gold.The 4 seasons, tho iconic in their own way, pales in comparison to the ....unique, lets say...bromance between Jang Uk and the crown prince. The beginning of the 'Filthy Mu Doek' bit was strange at first. But that particular relationship was one i came to fully appreciated as it continued. Even towards the end. It really was quite a solid, though, not to be, relationship.
Where is season 2 already? Why did they have to leave us hanging off a precipice?

Sweet, fluffy watch
I don’t think I stopped crying for the last 2 eps. OoL is a great watch.So many sweet moments. Gu Wei is peak boyfriend material (except for that little snafu towards the latter half). Zhixiao, although young, is an outspoken and talented woman.
Her friends decision making skills were questionable at times. I did not appreciate either of their relationships towards the end either. In one case, she was too good for him, and in the other, I thought he was too good for her- don’t @ me!
Overall, sweet, fluffy and lots of waterworks

Fantastic story
Its been a while since I've finished watching this, but know this: Ancient Detective if absolutely fantastic. Story line is great, characters are well developed...and that twist!!MC and 2ML have great chemistry. Dare I say it's a tad better than the MC and FL? Either way, the bromance is strong with this one. A lot of laugh out loud moments and a lot of heartfelt ones as well. ( I really should have written this as soon as I watched it!)
If you're in doubt, just watch the 1st episode, and I promise, you will be hooked

Actual, healthy depiction of a couple, sex life!
Stop the presses. Did you hear, married ppl who love each other, actually like being intimate with each other!!This is the 1st C drama that I’ve seen (hoping to see more of them of course) that depicts a young, attractive couple, where the man doesn’t have to ‘force’ himself onto an unwilling wife!
Yes, the show isn’t about way more than that, but it was so refreshing to see actual kissing, and reciprocating. The woman actually instigates intimacy as well! No dead fish mouths either!
It’s the usual cliched story: icy ML and bubbly FL navigate married life. It’s an interesting take on this genre as the couple actually communicates (most of the time) and solve issues together (for the most part- this is a C drama. Someone is gonna do shit saying they’re ‘protecting’ the other party, as expected)
FL is capable and resourceful. ML acknowledges FL’s capabilities and both of them learn to trust the other. Side stories are actually pretty great as well.
Definitely recommend for a light watch

This review may contain spoilers
Decided to watch because of the high rating, as well as my love of Ten Miles, as it has similar themes. Cast is beautiful, costumes are fire, acting is ok as well. The story fell flat for me though. I loved RY’s character for the first 20 eps, but I dropped it when I saw the direction they were taking him in.
XF is manipulative AF towards JM, yet we only get sinister vibes when RY decides to do something for himself for once by letting Water Immortal overhear their convo. I’m sure, based on reviews I read after I dropped it, that RY wld end up doing some devious shit, and I wasn’t here for that. Cause XF is an asshole, but he’s the ‘good guy’ so his behavior is of course excused.
XF has convinced himself that JM is in love with him, even though she stated several times that she’s likes him, as well as his brother, and his servants, as friends. She also doesn’t even recognize gender differences, but XF conveniently forgets that little fact when he fish kisses her by force, or has his brother’s fiancée spend the entire night taking care of him!
JM on the other hand, is just too much. If someone’s just sat her down and explained to her the roles of men and women, and the expected behaviors of soon to be married couples, the first 1/3 of the show wouldn’t have happened at all
I do regret not seeing more of the demon girl tho. I absolutely loved her character when she was around. She’s looks like she cld have been a good match for either of the brothers tbh.
Alas, that’s the sacrifice I’m willing to make

I really mostly enjoyed this story. Unfortunately, I couldn't properly emphasize with the ML, and the FL, though mostly ok, was too frustrating.
Lord Bo is the personification of hot, so there's that. Ji Chong is pretty bad ass as well, and good looking too, so there's also that. Sigh. I don't know. I wish I could have finished, but I dropped it with every intention of coming back to it. Unfortunately, I left it too long, and I really can't work up the care for the MC's
