It’s a great drama indeed and, I think, it offers quite a few insights & lessons to men too.

Metaphor being FL riding up the escalator? ;)

But, yes, this was a very good realistic drama clearly meant for adult mature audiences. MDL rating is way too low but — hopefully — it’s getting good ratings in China.

Yes, it’s a nice twist on storytelling:)

This is a great realistic drama meant for adults, especially those who have been in a workplace for some time and can relate to the pressures faced by the characters and choices they make.

P.S. MDL 7.3 rating is ridiculously low 🙄

I’m glad Mina Sue reassessed the situation, settled on a guy and generally tried to play nice the last few episodes. Not sure how much she fully grasped her mistakes though because some things she said were still kind of questionable 🤨

Are You the One is a great drama. It’s actually my favorite historical C-drama and I’ve even rewatched it a few times after getting frustrated by bad plot & screenwriting in other dramas (C-/K-dramas).
Just ignore MDL summary (it’s not accurate) and watch first episode carefully. It starts off kind of light but grows more serious as the story expands & grows (it’s not like, for example, Flourished Peony/In the Name of Blossom where almost all action took place in one place).

Haha… I forgot ending of ep. 10 and was wondering why he showed up at an abandoned house 👻

They were clearly waiting for WCR to arrive 👸🏻

I’ve only watched LotFG and generally enjoyed it but just be prepared for it to be lighter in tone than it initially appears (it’s not a serious emotionally heave historical drama). Screenwriters also left some plot gaps and things like that. But it’s still enjoyable if you just watch it for FL+ML dynamics and don’t think too hard about what’s going on 😁

They should’ve used same person that dubbed WCR in Are You the One, but I think that actress dubs a lot of dramas so maybe she was busy.

WCR was great in Are You the One (historical drama). She was also great in Fireworks of My Heart (modern drama) playing a character who slowly gets from under tyrannical control of her family (esp. the evil mother).

As someone who didn’t read the novel and only watched the drama, executing the maid would not have fit the FL character & the drama so far, especially given the reason why Mei passed long into to the prince.

FL is definitely being spoiled 🥰

It seems like it was 10 years in the novel but they changed it to 15 years here

The new outro better fits more serious events happening now 🥺

Poor Mei 😳😢😭

I’m a guy and enjoyed both Love Scout and Love to Hate You (personally, I rated Love Scout higher because it was more unusual). I’d say Love to Hate You is not super focused on women audience. I’ve watched it by myself and then with a group online (mostly guys) and everyone liked it. But everyone has different preferences — just mentioned it because it’s impossible to keep up with all the dramas that are coming out and I’ve watched many based on recommendations from people in the comments here 😊

Nice! Then skip Positively Yours and watch Love to Hate You instead. Or, well, any good drama instead of this one. I really enjoyed “Can This Live be Translated?” that got released recently on Netflix but that drama is not a light/funny as BP or LtHY (different genre).

Others mentioned they got used to the dubbing pretty quickly. Everything moves very, very quickly that I have hard enough time keeping up with subtitles (as a non-native speaker). But definitely try to continue watching — it’s very good so far 😁

I didn’t read the webtoon but going to finish the show since only 4 episodes are left. It had a good beginning, but focus on 2ML made it lose steam a bit.
