Very good news for those who are curently reading the novel and those who want to wait until the novel is completely translated until they begin reading, OMG, i`m so happy, the novel has been picked`up to be translated starting from chapter 68 until the end, including the extra chapter by another translator named Chichi, who is a really good translator, and he makes updates to the chapters of the novels he translates quite frequently, i can affirm this because i read other novels translated by this group. He will add the chapters in novelupdates as the previous translators, yesterday it added in NU chapter 68 and 69.

Yes, in my case i`m happy with how they are releasing the eps. For exemple kdramas has a release of 2 eps a week, thai, taiwansese bl dramas and japanese dramas has 1 ep per week, when you compare, having a release of 4-5 eps a week or even more sometimes
for chinese dramas is really very good.

They will do that, don`t worry, they will not continue airing his scenes, in all kdramas that has scandals like this, they cut all the scenes of the actor involved, or having another actor portray his character, or kill his character and change the storyline. I don`t think they will cancel the drama, but thy will lose a lot of money for all the reshots they will have to do, this is one of the few dramas i saw that is badly affected because of the scandal of an actor, being that they filmed almost all the episodes.

I did write some minimal unimportant spoilers of what happens in the novel, so for the persons who didn`t watch at least the first eps of the drama or hadn`t read the novel and don`t want any spoilers, it would be better to not read this comment.




Yes. This is how his character is in the novel, it`s not because ZZH is not doing his best. I think the character of Zishu in the drama was changed to be much less cold than in the novel and more charming.
He is a man of few words in the novel , who don`t like to socialise and talk to people if he don`t have to ( and introvert) and very blunt and sharp with his words. The replies he gives to some of the flirtly words of Wen Kexing in the novel are not that interesting like in drama, on the contrary, his replies gives the impression of "i can`t be bothered, whatever", kudos to the screenwriter.
He really gives the impression that he has a very serious, cold personality (after all he killed people for a living, of course that had an impact on him), and is not willing to let anyone in for more than half of the novel, because he knows he will die soon.
He will change, in the novel and in the drama, but at most he is letting is guard down and is more approachable with the ones who he trusts and he gets close too, towards other people he will behave the same as before.
You have to have patience, he is who he is, a person won`t change immediately after someone shows interest in him, it has taken Wen Kexing a lot of time in the novel to make him trust him and accept him.
They make a couple with such a charming dynamic because of their different personalities.

I really love the novel and the drama, but i have to stop coming here, because it`s stressing me out. I wish people will try to start dicussions centered more about the drama and novel, real discussions, with more few and large posts that actually makes people happy and worth reading, and refrain from asking things that can be found by scrolling down or searching on the page.
If things continue like this, the valuable and beautiful comments will be lost in the sea of repetitive and frustrating comments, and it`s a pity.
I`m sorry the most for the people who will discover the drama later or after it finishes airing, and seeing that is hard to find a comment that make them feel something.

Like @timmyrate sugested, Lee Do Hyun is a really good choice, if he don`t have another drama that is filming now and the crew can get him. He has already acted in an historical setting in Hotel del Luna where he was very impressive. The only problem might be the buget they have to get him, he`s getting really popular lately.

This is the comment posted by another person a few days ago.
From AvenueX's First Impression video, she mentions that the drama faced some issues with filming (e.g. pandemic) and the original leads left. So, I did some searching and it seems that it was supposed to be Mao Zi Jun (茅子俊) as ZZS and Li Dai Kun (李岱昆) as WKX. Although Li Dai Kun is not the lead, we can still see him as the Scorpion King (蝎王), which is the role Gong Jun originally auditioned for. What a blessing to have Zhang Zhe Han and Gong Jun as the leads. Seems like fate.

Like i said , i don`t matter what contract was made, they can`t allow his scenes to air, he was the one who did them wrong in the first place, by making trouble to the company because of this scandal. If i`m not wrong, a few years ago, they have been some scandals with actors that affected their dramas airing, so they put a clause to the contract that the actor has to pay a fine to if he is involved in a serious scandal for the period the drama airs. And this matter don`t depend of what they can or what they cannot do, they are rules inside the entertainment industry that applies to incidents like this, and all of them were handled similarly, this drama will not be handled differently than what happened with the others, it was not even a single exception with a drama that continued airing as he was filmed, without suffering changes, when a cast member was involved in a scandal like this.

Not, they will not, i assure you, they will have to do some changes to it, like cuting all Ji Soo character scenes before the next episode or they will be taking the drama down from airing. This is a serious matter, especially that sexual assault accusations, all korean dramas that has scandals like this, they cut all the scenes of the person accused, continued airing the drama while making changes to the story, or having another actor replace and continue with his character. The drama will get a lot of hate if it will be aired like this, the rating will drop a lot, and they have to appease the victims, and the people who will get angry at the crew of the drama, if it will continue airing without changes, and they are usually a lot of haters who unite together online, even if he is not proved as quilty until the next episode airs. Trust me, i like to read news about actors, idols,and kdramas, so i know a lot.

Yes, i`m not on Ji Soo side , i have a feeling that he is really guilty of some accusations after reading about all the people that are accusing him, i don`t even like him, i`m writing in general, at how the public in Korea react to scandals of all kind, being dating scandals, drugs, cheating, bullying, rude behavior etc.
They are some people that don`t give a shit, the ones who take the stance of always defending their actor or idol they are a fan, just because they like them too much and the ones that leaves hate comments to any actor and idol immediately after an article hint that they could have done something bad, like bullying, sexual assault, or even cheating, or just disagreaments or rude behaviour can get you cancelled in Korea. The people in Korea judge the actors/idols too easily, and very rarely they give a second chance for a celebrity to start from scratch and become popular again. And frequently even if they are proved innocent, the celebrities are not considered the same as before, they are still judged. There it`s better to avoid at all cost a scandal like this, because it`s hard to comeback from something like this. It`s not normal, in other countries, the people don`t care, lol, celebrities take drugs and have countless cheating scandals and still their acting and singing are loved as always. In Korea something like that can ruin you.
I don`t know why they are not more lenient and being more forgiving towards celebrities there, the only reason i can think is the environment they live is very stressful and they take their frustrations on people that they can seem are more happy, succesful and rich than them,,, and celebrity seems they have them all, so at the first single mistake they want to destroy them. The old generation of actors are not helping to make change in the industry too, because some of them have the same pretentions on their younger actors as the public have. I have read an interview of an older actor that said that actors should always try to be perfect in any way, being acting, the interaction with everyone, the way they speak, this way of living can be very stresfull, if he can do`it, okay, but don`t give an advice like this, the actors are human too, i was so dissapointed. I hope to see a day when personal things that happen in the life of celebrities don`t affect their professional life. I saw groups of idol singers that losed a lot of fans, because of a scandal of a member, and it`s to ufortunately or actors that are accused of things, are proved innocent, but they would not get the same opportunities as before. It`s like the public don`t make the same mistakes as the celebrities they are mocking, a bunch of hypocrites.

hahaha, i`m glad i made you laugh, Kang Ha Neul is such a good actor and is known in the industry as being very kind, polite and hardworking, like actress Kim So-yeon, so i`m a bit disappointed that such a good drama it`s affected by such incident, it`s a pity.

Go to the discussion thread named Links to English Translated Novel, those are the links the people here and i read the novel, trust me, i searched, it can`t be found anywhere else a translaion better than the one made by those two translaters, and unfortunately the novel is not completely translated.

Woa, thank you, i didn`t know of this, the first chapter is so cute, it looks promising.

Woah, really, damn.

Yes. Exactly like you said, or they will not film all the scenes from the beginning that includes On Dal, and they will continue the filming with the new actor, like nothing happen, and it was him that portrayed On Dal from the start, because things like halting the airing will had the drama lose the hype, and this happened before in other dramas.
Damn, they should have delayed filming the drama for a few months and tried to fit the schedule of Kang Ha Neul, i was sad when i read that he couldn`t join the drama as the first male lead.

You don`t know how quickly korean viewers cancel a drama if the production team don`t take measures to cut any person accused of things like this, being an idol or actor that are staring on a drama, movie or variety show. The drama will get double the hate and the rating of the drama will plummet if Ji Soo character will not be cut or replaced. They usually do this thing for even smaller things , like a rumour unconfirmed, like how they did with Seventeen Mingyu and actor Jo Byung Kyu, who i really believe they were framed. Actor Jo Byung Kyu didn`t even go to school in South Korea, he was accused of bullying people when he went to school in New Zealand, and the fans stepped up prove the two persons who accused him were lying and he also tried to give proof that he isn`t quilty, but he still had to step down from the variety show he was supposed to do, and not matter what he said they are a lot of people in Korea who give him hate comments. And Seventeen Mingyu, it was only two persons who accused him, and that person obviously give fake proof, and people defend him, but he still have to stop his activities and the agency were obligated to say they will look more onto the allegations. The knetizens and citizens on Korea are rutless when it comes to the mentions of bullying, let alone sexual assault accusations. Maybe, all these bullying news that keep coming in Korea recently are meant to oblige the government to make some changes in Korea education system, because from what i read , bullying in schools in South Korea are very common and more harsh than in other countries, and the teachers don`t have any legal means to punish the perpetrators, they can`t even suspend them, or cut them out for school if they didn`t do a serious offense, like a crime lol. It seems it was fine at some point but they changed the law and have taken all the power the teachers has over the students.

With all the mess around the school bullying and sexual assault accusations that Ji Soo is facing and with him more likely being cut from the drama or his character killed, because of the adjustement of the storyline, it may happen for the FL to end`up with the second male lead.

Yes, i realised this too, not only actors, but idols, none of the ones in or after 30s ar getting called up as bullies. It`s a bit weird.

Like you said, they could kill On Dal, and make the FL end up with the general or alone, but if FL end up with the general, the screenwriter will have to be very ingenious to make their story believable, and the end produs willl become a totally different drama that was it was planned initally, as On Dal is an important character. Another option is to cast another actor to continue the character of On Dal will be a bit weird to see, but it did happen before in other kdramas.

Yes, they will more likely change the storyline drastically. I tought why now, why they couldn`t have come with those accusations sooner, but at least is a the beginning, with only 6 eps aired, so they can still have the chance to save the drama.
