Sooo I just finished Bloody Romance and I liked it! It's definitely up there as one of the most underrated cdramas. This drama is about women assassins along with a love interest of the FL. It is also about an FL that has developed from weak to badass.

Acting/Cast: 9.5/10 The acting was really good, everyone delivered their lines naturally. Even the evil laughs sounded natural lol. One little complaint I have, though, is the ML's character. His character doesn't have much to it. He's pretty reserved and doesn't say much. However, the MCs still have really good chemistry! Honestly, all of them have really good chemistry.

I especially loved Li Yi Tong's acting(She's the FL). It was great and I could feel every emotion she portrayed. She totally won me over

Plot/Story: 8.5/10 It was pretty good. Compared to popular dramas like Ashes of Love or Joy of Life, the plot isn't really deep and doesn't have much angst. However, that's is one of the reasons why I liked it. It doesn't drag--at all (unlike Joy of Life and Ashes of Love). Pretty fast-paced and simple compared to them. Also, it only has 36 episodes, so it's pretty short.

The plot itself its pretty good and there are little plot holes here and there, but its not bad. I really enjoyed it.

Of course, one of the main reasons I started this drama was because it's about assassins. I would recommend this to people(like me)who like mysteries, spies, assassins, murder, and stuff like that.

There is a bit of gore and implications that sound disgusting to some people, so if that's something you absolutely cannot stand, probably don't watch it. E.g. Pulling out fingernails as torture, flaying(cutting of skin) as torture. They don't show those, obviously, but they do imply and talk about it. If you can't stomach it, then I don't recommend you to watch it. They do show blood though.

The gore stuff is about the same as Sparrow cdrama. (If you haven't watched it yet, go watch it! It's about spies lol)

The ending: I will say, I kinda spoiled it for myself and knew the ending before watching it, but nonetheless I feel like it was still pretty satisfying. I know, some people didn't like the ending, but I thought it was pretty satisfying and I liked the implication.

As for the development of the characters:

***very minor spoilers but I'm still gonna spoiler tag it anyway***

I know a lot of people also dropped this or didn't like it because of the FL. That's because the synopsis was misleading and people thought she was gonna turn into a cold, evil, badass girl. She isn't cold or mean, but strong and badass by the end. I fell in love with her calmness and composedness when facing enemies and I love that for her!! It's her inside and outside that are really strong.

OST/Soundtrack: 100/10 OH MY GOSH THE SOUNDTRACK IS SO GOOD AND IT EVOKES YOUR EMOTIONS SO MUCH THROUGHOUT THE DRAMA!! I especially love 一生等你 (Waiting for You) sung by Tia Ray. The male version of the song, sung by the ML, is also really good.

Production and Others: I love the costumes. All of them are so cool and especially the ones that the 2nd ML wore. It really fits with the bamboos and green in the background. Looks really good on him too! Production, the sets are incredible and the sceneries are beautiful. CGI actually isn't all that bad, in fact, it's pretty good compared to some cdramas in 2021 lol

Rewatch Value: I normal don't like to rewatch dramas, and this is not an exception.

Overall: I would give 9.5 and I do recommend it to you. I'm a bit hesitant though since it has gore and some gross stuff. Personally, I thought it was fine but other than that, it's pretty good! Great acting, great production, awesome OST, and great story! I loved it.
