This one is like a mix between Robert Redford’s Indecent Proposal and K-drama’s On The Way To The Airport…well, except our two leads are not married. However, as much as our heroine tries to stay away from the man, there is no denying the attraction between them. Quite satisfied with her life where she is working hard to stay on track for the plan her boyfriend had laid out for them until retirement, our heroine wants nothing to do with the stranger she met one day who shows interest in her despite the fact that he too has a girlfriend…one he has dated for the last ten years at that. (Her seemingly complete lack of understanding of the danger she is in upon finding herself in a world where flowers have legs and birds that could carry people off, makes her character a bit too odd for my taste.) I am assuming the heroine’s personality will mellow out a bit as the story progress so maybe that won’t be an issue later on.īefore We Get Married (Taiwanese Drama, New) The story seems decent but I really didn’t care for the heroine’s character set up. This one is really interesting in that at first glance the show is set in a normal looking early 1900’s China but once our heroine barges into our hero’s world then it introduces the fantasy elements. Using the special his healing special ability and knowledge, our hero teams up with our heroine to save countless lives. To avoid becoming the next tribe leader, our hero goes home with our heroine just in time to encounter a rare outbreak. Having just gotten back from studying medicine abroad, our heroine accidentally falls off the cliff and ends up eating a magical fruit that our hero’s tribe has been waiting to ripen for the last 100 years. Interestingly, despite all the C-fantasy elements, the show actually kinda reminds me of Pokemon (in a good way) with all of the fantastical beasts that fight for their masters. Judging by the first few episodes, the bromance between our two leads is indeed awesome and simply hilarious. The show’s promotion has focused heavily into the bromance that will develop between our hero and Joe Cheng’s character. Taiwanese actor Joe Cheng plays our hero’s teacher and boy, does he look great in that role. The first episode took a little bit of getting used to but the story improved dramatically once our two male leads meet. Thrown into a world that he knows nothing about, our hero embarks on a journey filled with unknown dangers…and unexpected friendships. Falling unconscious while running away from an ice beast that destroyed his town overnight, our hero wakes up to find a man who matter of factly tells him that he is a Lord (the most powerful one at that) and our hero is now his disciple. Growing up in a small town, our hero knows little of the world that involves fantastical beasts and Lords that could wield immense powers. Based on Chinese novel L.O.R.D: The Legend of Ravaging Dynasties by author Guo Jingming.
