Kun Thee is so effortlessly funny, but if you dig deeper, the laughter will turn to sadness. All the words coming out of his mouth are over the top, crazy, and cringey to ordinary people, but to him, it's just normal. He's just an innocent soul who lacks love and misses his mom.
I've been schooled again. Ae-sun warms my heart; Gwang-sik is the father I had hoped for in my life. Although it's different, I remembered my youth, my college days, and my struggles as a young, independent adult. Now in my mid-30s, I look back and suddenly miss my grandma. I told my mom about the drama and said I really, really appreciate all her hard work in raising my brother and me alone. This story really humbled me. What an endearing journey. No matter whether it's sad tears or happy tears, it's life. Thank you, WLGYT!
This is a really well-produced and well-acted series, but Episode 9 really made me rethink — although I’m not a fan of the actors yet, the quality had me going “gosh” and “wow” the whole time.
Good: Hua Yong!!! Huang Xing!!! plus a fresh genre in BL dramaland.
Bad: Acting is a hit or miss. The directing feels ambitious but doesn’t translate well on screen. Some scenes are so illogical they made me laugh, like the freshly baked cake not being in a pan, SWL not recognizing GT during that scene even though the light was bright enough to blind someone, and the ridiculously staged library earthquake., they claim it’s a high-budget production, but the setup doesn’t look believable at all.
Rewatch Value: Might revisit once in a while. I can’t fully explain the appeal - maybe it’s the charm despite its flaws - but the acting and directing are just so-so. They tried, and somehow, a fandom was born. If you enjoyed it, good for you! 🙌
I know it’s part of the script, but I can’t help getting irrationally mad every time the ML acts like a man-child just to delay the divorce 😤 Like sir, just be honest for once! Say what you feel instead of sending her mixed signals... The FL has been through enough emotional damage - she needs words of affirmation, not confusion. I want him to grovel, but even his “groveling” still screams ego and narcissism 😭 Anyway, ep 25 finally gave us some of ML's character growth.
LOTFG fans are down voting this coz they cant accept SY is better as a general than ZY
now im curious, im not into hating one drama just to lift another... im hesitant to watch this because I feel like SY looks so fragile and her voice is sweet not believable to be a general but I love to be proven wrong...
I hope there's no romance between the leads. I want them to be best of buds, balancing each other while being a litigation god. I hope YSH finds a good woman and has his own child at the end of the show.
The actors and director are so good at giving us those subtle gestures and little precious movements that provide more depth in their characters, their chemistry is so natural you can feel it while watching. The way XS push CC, when WW softly dab CC shoulder and when CC always knock WW head. Ugh, I'm going to miss this show. 🥹

I hope YSH finds a good woman and has his own child at the end of the show.
