It’s based on that movie, supposedly.

So far, the drama is better than expected :)

Compared to other recent dramas, the love triangle is done well so far and doesn’t really get in a way. 2ML is FL’s boss so showing scenes with him is same as if creators showed work scenes. Additionally, FL and 2ML were each others first love and had (have?) genuine feelings for each — it’s not like many other dramas where 2ML clearly has no chance at getting FL (*cough* Positively Yours *cough* Dynamite Kiss). Of course, it’s always safer to let the show finish airing before starting watching it. However, don’t let those comments prevent you from enjoying it :)

I don’t think having a kid would make people give you less work. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work in real life either 😳

Because 2ML is her boss, it’s not too bad yet.

It wouldn’t surprise me if we eventually learned they DID sleep together for real 😁🫣🥰

Thanks!

Thank you for the information :) I’m used to it being translated as wine in dramas but here it was a bit strange because they were clearly drinking whiskey/bourbon/scotch 🥃(probably whiskey).

Happy to help! ☺️

You are welcome!
Random fact:
Suzy’s and IU’s first acting roles were in the same drama in 2011 (“Dream High” - highly recommended!) and IU’s nickname is Nation’s Little Sister (from her debut; now she’s “Queen of K-pop and K-drama” per Forbes Korea 😊).

I generally agree. On some seasons people don’t get coupled up until very late so it’s natural that we don’t see a lot of romantic moments. But this season we got 3 pairs pretty ealry (other than Mina Sue’s and Go Eun’s) so they could’ve shown them having nice romantic time on the island (there are many very picturesque spots).

There can be any number of reasons for that. At this point, I’m just incredibly thankful that we are getting two WCR dramas back to back :)

Many (most?) C-drama watchers complain when release pace slows down to 1 episode per day (usually happens in the middle or towards the end). And then there are those of us who also watch K-dramas (2 episodes per week) or dramas from countries where it’s one episode PER WEEK 😆

Our dislike of the evil Prince grows with every diary entry!

It’s hilariously funny in the beginning and is still funny in some places. But — as our heroes progress — they have to deal with some serious things so there are some heartfelt, not-so-nice moments. But it’s still not as dark or heartbreaking as many historical dramas. Everything is going to be fine :)

The simple answer is that we don’t know yet. But there are rarely drama sequels, so probably going to fit entire novel in the drama.

For those wondering why FL keept saying that she’s Suzy (in Ep. 3), it’s because Bae Suzy is nicknamed “The Nation's First Love”, so FL was 2ML’s first love.

You are welcome! MDL summaries oftentimes are wrong. They aren’t even working a winery. It’s about a liquor business (which, somehow, gets translated as “wine” in subtitles). It’s a giant global manufacturer and this is about a regional China office. FL is manager of Promotions, her boss is Sales Director, her rivals are managers in Sales, her best friend is an important team member in Sales, her husband is Senior Partner in a consulting firm, and there are some other related characters (don’t want to spoil too much).
One thing for sure, this is not an idol drama, it’s more gritty and realistic (and real world is not black & white and is not full of nice people who never make mistakes).

This drama is like a modern version of palace intrigues that are always happening in historical dramas. It’s not about business but rather characters trying to get promotion, undermine their rivals, and so forth. It’s also about pressures faced by people in a workplace and how well they maintain (or not maintain) their dignity & moral bearings.

An added twist is that sometimes point of view changes and we hear thoughts/see actions as someone other than the main lead (FL).

Let’s agree to disagree :)
