His mom seems like a middle manager of that company (so maybe a level above his dad), but she’s acting like a typical drama ultra-rich person. And expecting son to make it to the nations Olympiad team is kind of crazy level of pressure. That’s top 5-10 people in a country in their age group. 😳🥺

Yes, we all enjoyed that. That mom might have been the worst C-drama mother (even “Fireworks” mom wasn’t selfish and supposedly did everything for benefit of her daughter).

The weirdest thing is that she isn’t even a bad girl or a bad influence. And their families are NOT “from different worlds”. His family is a bit higher on corporate ladder but they are not rich.

And the weirdest part is that FL isn’t even remotely a bad student or a bad influence.

There was such a mother in a 2025 modern C-drama that you rated 9.0 (not giving a title here to avoid spoilers).

ML’s mom from this drama and FL’s mom from “Fireworks of My Heart” hang out together and share child-rearing tips for sure 😳

The show started off great and had very good middle episodes but last third (or so) were very average and full of questionable decisions by writers 🥺😳😢

Very interesting, thank you for the additional information!

He is ML’s cousin.

“I am territorial” 🤣🤣🤣

No, that seemed like his attempts to prevent his dad’s marriage.

I don’t believe Tripp knew her beforehand.

Has anyone watched the anime version of this drama? Season 1 seems like it follows events of the drama but just-releaaed Season 2 is set after the events of the drama (if iQIYI summary is accurate).

Episode 6 alt title: Miss Blossom 🌸 🌼

It’s based on a popular Wattpad “novel” from 2012 but it’s not serious literature (fan-fiction 3rd “book” was also published on Wattpad to give you an idea). Think of this book as similar to cheesy American teenage movies from 2000s. FL plays her character well (again, it’s more of a funny/cringy drama). I’ve only watched a few Filipino dramas and there is something charming in more raw, realistic feeling compared to very polished sanitized K- and C-dramas (which have much, much higher budgets).

Pretty much more action in that one scene than in a 40-episode C-drama 😉

This drama is fun to watch if you accept the fact it’s not realistic and is very over-the-top 😆

It seems like the MV scenes are not actually from the drama (the look and feel are completely different). So right now we are watching Season 1 (Book 1) and, maybe, they will decide to make Season 2 (Book 2) depending on reception & ratings.

ML & FL star in music video for OST (linked in comments here). That’s our mini-preview for Book 2 😊

What would be even funnier if they decided to do this as a trilogy with Season 3 being based on fanfiction (also published on Wattpad) 😆
