I’ll also add that I think it meant that Li Mao was not the Grand Tutor’s son after all. Any ideas if that’s what that last bit meant?

Thank you for your thoughts which I read. Totally love your assessment of this drama. Well expressed.

I also found it hard to understand. I watched that last bit after the credits several times and am also hoping for an explanation.

There were some parts that were far too silly and farfetched but I got through it. I also wouldn’t watch it again but it entertained me nevertheless. I also watched it for Tan Jianci but I also like Landy Li.

When he pretended to be blind and then had enough of the deceit and he screamed at Cheng Cheng and Yuan was a very dramatic moment and a turning point in the drama. Such a great actor. Earlier when he was colour blind and he only saw the colourful Cheng Cheng wearing the traditional Tang dress at the fair was such a beautiful moment.

Tang realises later in the series and explains why he loved the two fake filtered characters. This became clear to us as the viewers when we saw that he could distinguish his feelings between having no feelings for real Dr Fang and having the heart throbbing when he was with the fake Dr Fang who was as with Miao, really Cheng Cheng. He was falling in love with the person beneath the filter so it didn’t matter what they looked like. Love how he understood Cheng Cheng and forgave her despite all the trauma he faced losing his ‘loves’ and questioning his sanity.

I enjoyed this series very much. I was expecting more angst from Tang especially as he was gaslighted so much by Cheng Cheng and her accomplices. What she did to him was so horrible. Tang’s confusion, fear etc and eventually initial anger was so well played by Tan Jian Ci. Superb acting. I was conflicted by my frustration with Cheng Cheng’s character being so cruel but also sympathetic to her situation. Landy Li portrayed her so well. Very moving scenes between Yuan and Gu although this plot deviation had nothing directly to do with the filter story-line. A lovely romantic couple. Wonderful comedic moments (although I could have done without the alpaca episode!!!-it was still cute but added sadly to Tang’s trauma) where I laughed out loud (notably the unexpected dive into the lake by Miao followed by Tang as well as the broom kiss!!) also very poignant messages about self-esteem. Loved the final scene. It was very sweet. Overall a most entertaining series.

I laughed so much at that scene as it was so unexpected.

I really liked this vertical drama. Really great quality through acting, script and overall production. Definitely deserves a higher rating. Great cast especially the two main leads. From a trivial perspective, the FL’s clothes were the best I have seen in a vertical! Highly recommended.

A shorter than expected vertical drama at 48 episodes but also well done. A green flag ML and a strong FL are pluses for this drama. I enjoyed this one very much and the casting of the leads were well chosen. First time seeing them and will check out their other dramas.

I enjoyed this drama and especially loved the main characters as well as the two secondary couples. JC-T was so adorably quirky and hilarious and Wang Churan’s portrayal as Qian Fei was beautifully calm and soothing despite all the obstacles she faced. They made such a lovely endearing couple with so much chemistry. Loved the development in the relationship between Dang Yu and Jun’s mother. Also enjoyed seeing Shao Wei Tong in a romantic role. Still cannot get over his role as Tan Si in Fall in Love where he made quite an impression. I am disappointed in the below 8 rating. The series deserves more.

Glad he has a romantic role in Love Has Fireworks. Loved him in Fall in Love as Tan Si. Needs to have a Main Role.,so much charisma.

Loved the casting of this drama. Loved seeing Lee Se Hee in her role and I liked that Tae Hui turned out to be so nice and not the usual cliched nasty 2FL. Of course Im Ji Yeon was terrific in her role and Heo Nam Jun is perfect as Se Gye. My favourite part was the bus scene in Episode 14. What an innovative idea to mark Grandma’s passing. Last time a granny dying was cleverly and movingly portrayed for me was in Idol1. Overall it was a good watch and because I watched the episodes as they were released from week to week, I didn’t feel I wasted too much time over the parts of the storyline that were confusing or didn’t make sense. Glad the Josean characters had a happy ending. I also felt the focus on karma was a reasonable perspective and especially when Seo Ri visits Mun Do in gaol and tells him that he missed the chance to change from how he was in the past by not taking the opportunity to live a better life because in this life he had something to live for (being a reference to his love as a father) to improve the way he dealt with people. A strong OST with my favourite song being Losing My Heart sung by Gwen Dorado.

I liked this series very much. The resolution for all characters was very satisfying. I love happy endings. Overall the story developed in an interesting way unravelling the complications well with good pacing. Great cast especially the secondary couples and villagers but I also loved the main leads who did a fabulous job. Happy that they got over their insomnia and Kim Bum stood out with his sincerity and integrity as the soon to be CEO. Loved the fight scene at the mushroom farm in the last episode. That was hilarious. Jo Bok Rae was over the top goofy but nevertheless enjoyable to watch his quirky antics. Go Doo Shim was as usual so charming and lovely. It was great to see the cast getting their time in the closing credits which was so well done and added to the satisfaction of a great ending. Well done.

Love the cute references to Business Proposal and K-Pop Demon Hunters in Episode 8! Clever integrating with as much subtlety as product placement. 😂😂😂

I liked this series very much. It had a positive happy ending. The cast were great and I particularly enjoyed Team Leader Bang and Secretary Go’s relationship. The best friend, Mi Ran, was so supportive and loyal. I liked her character very much. Hong Jong Hyun who played Min Uk reminded me at times of Wei Zheming the Chinese actor. Both so handsome. Of course the leads were terrific and I liked the ML. He was such a green flag.

Another good vertical with Wang Kai Mu and Wang GeGe is on You Tube is Broken Girl Met Elite Lawyer-he guard her in silence, until his gentle love bacame her salvation.

Sorry I do not know the English title but Try You Tube to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a-68pWX-LM

Agree. Ignore the ratings. It’s a very clever and grown up series.

Totally agree that it was a very theatrical production and especially loved the different techniques that were applied in developing the story. I only started watching for Liu Yuning but it’s Gai Wei who played his role very well and shone amongst the other characters.
