![]() ![]() If you watch this, then after episode 19, skip to the opening scene of episode 37. C-Dramas need to bin the whole 'scorned second woman' trope. That much is true, but I doubt you'd love it.ġ. What-ifs aside, I cannot in good conscience recommend that you put in 30 hours on this. ![]() The writers, the production crew, the director and needlessly long drama seasons ruined what would have been an excellent drama. Li Yi Tong puts in the most charismatic turn I've seen on screen all year. This drama has many truly astounding actors. I disagreed with every decision and typical of C-Dramas, they introduced far too many moving parts, dumbed down characters and engaged in aggressive acts of 'filler'-long pans, multiple flashbacks. Episodes 1-19 were riveting television for me. In my opinion, everything after that ruins the show. They try to pull back the curtain and show life after the initial romantic glow fades. The show tries to execute a complicated pirouette after episode 19 when it seems that our leads are sailing into a life of domestic bliss. It has to be industry malpractice that allowed it to survive the cutting room. The absolute worst part of the show is the arc between Chinese Chuck Bass (When you see it, you'll see it) and Blair Wenwen. But the man who broke our romantic's heart was charismatic enough to be a stand-out.Ĥ. The usual drama, typical of C-dramas, involving scorned lovers and orbiters was generally weak and, in my view, unnecessary. The show starts to get weighed down by the other arcs. It is the second-best part of the show.ģ. I didn't quite agree with the ending, but it was not all bad. ![]() Now I would totally watch a time-travel drama where a love-lorn romantic finds themself in Qin China. Their romance is the funniest part of the show. The second romance is between a Legalist (The Chinese political theory of governance) and a broken-hearted romantic. Contra those who avoided it purely 'cause of the male lead, in its first half, it is by a far the best thing about the show. Call this Pretty Woman with Chinese Characteristics. Essentially, there are four stories within:ġ. The show is set in a large town where everybody is one acquaintance away from knowing each other. Now, instead of being angry, I am merely annoyed. Thankfully, Chinese drama writers after their obligatory sacrifices to tragedy managed to guide my 'ship' to port. I was minutes away from finding out if the site has a 'zero' rating. Obviously, I had and have major incentives to declare this to be the best thing since grilled steaks. Don't Think Twice, Love's All Right is a good drama dragged down by the limitations of its industry One only need to look at the comment section to see my commitment to this drama (/Shrug/ Li Yi Tong fan). ![]()
