OMG OMG OMG. After the first couple of episodes I finally got sucked into this and was truly surprised by how much fun I was having watching the leads interactions. I absolutely did not expect to laugh as much as I have been!

But then we get to the end of ep 12...*smh*

I'm sorry but her dumb, desperate ass friend sickens me. Asshole (aka the FL's ex) was all about the FL 2 secs ago and wouldn't even given you a second glance but now, because you've expressed your interest in him, he suddenly starts flirting with you and you fall for it? Like, WHAT?!! Either he's fickle as fuck, which isn't a good thing, or he's using you. How could it POSSIBLY be anything else? What is she, 12??? Like who tf loses their senses so completely over a guy based on absolutely not a damn thing?!! She knows NOTHING about the man!

Why. Whhhyyyyy do writers do this shit? Why?! The drama was progressing along so nicely but then the stupid writers have to go ruining it. As far as I'm concerned it's lazy writing. They could have found more creative ways for Asshole to coerce her without reducing the quality of the damn drama in the process.

LOL! Right! Hence my difficulty in figuring out what to watch next. Even the ones I've liked I've already re-watched again! LOL!

I actually finally made some progress with My Dear Guardian though. It's had me laughing a lot which is a complete surprise. I made it as far as the end of ep 12 but then they had to go through completely STUPID behavior by the FL's best friend into the storyline and now I'm back here searching for a filler before I go back to it.

I finally started enjoying this but I'm at the start of ep 11 and my hackles are beginning to raise because of that asshole ex. Manipulative people are one of my biggest pet peeves and the fact that he's pursuing the FL while doing everything else that he is behind her back truly disgusts me, so there's no chance in hell that I'll have any good feelings towards him at any point throughout this drama. I doubt I'd be even half as disgusted with him as I am if he were only pretending to pursue her, to be honest. It's the fact that he's being the way he is towards someone he supposedly cares about that makes me absolutely sick.

Anyway, I digress. My hackles are raised because, while I greatly enjoyed the FL's father for calling him out to his face for trying to go through them (her parents) to get to her, the fact that Asshole (as I chose to refer to the ex) is still able to successfully manipulate a way in with her father is what has me figuratively tapping my brakes. I sense major frustration on it's way.

I need to know that his sneaky ass behavior doesn't get any real foothold in upcoming episodes because now I'm apprehensive. UGH!!!!! I need spoilers!

Does it take a while for the leads to become a (real) couple? I'm on ep 10 now when they're showing the FL and her ex's past as teenagers, after the ML has just left to go battle the floods. At the current pace of their relationship progression they should become a couple soon. Does the drama throw in unnecessary tropes to drag it out and delay that from happening?

Sorry about that.

I just love your user ID!

Ooooh! This was exactly the post I needed! I just finished The Love You Give Me earlier today and was having trouble deciding if I should watch this next. Based on your comment, I think I'll wait.

Can't for the life of me figure out what I'm in the mood for now though. It's driving me nuts!

I'm actually trying to give My Dear Guardian a try (thinking maybe I should go for a completely different vibe) but I just can't seem to get into it. Came back here to see if maybe I should go ahead and just start this instead. So glad I'm really glad I saw your post.

UghhhhH! What to watch though!

I'm so glad someone else sees this in Yang Yang. I know @DavidPENNY didn't mean any harm (thankfully) but I always feel so badly for Yang Yang when he doesn't get the credit he deserves for his acting. He either gets hate simply because of his looks (like people CAN'T like him because he's too pretty...like that's his fault) or because people don't understand how truly talented of an actor he is because he's SO good. His talent is wasted on an audience who just doesn't get the level of his skill. If other people acted his roles, I guaranty those dramas and movies wouldn't have done half as well as they have.

Like @Ar_ I have to disagree as well. The man emotes a whole lot without doing or saying much. That's skill in itself. His simple expressions and slightest motions covey volumes.

Yang Yang's strength is unfortunately also his biggest weakness. His acting can be compared to ballet. While a motion may seem beautiful, elegant, light and effortless in ballet, it actually takes a shit ton of strength, talent, skill and hard work to execute. It also takes more than just perfect execution to make a ballet performance phenomenal. The dancer brings the role to life and makes it magical.

It's the same for Yang Yang's acting. He doesn't get the credit he deserves because it seems like he's not doing much yet somehow his roles do so well. People always assume the success of his roles come from the roles themselves and he's not given the credit he's due. He brings his roles to life but does it in such subtle and simple ways that it's overlooked by his largely amateur audience so he ends up not receiving the credit he is due. The fact is, if people try picturing other actors playing those roles instead of him, they'd realize that the result would most likely be subpar in comparison.

I agree. The man is a great actor. People just like to hate. I seriously can't think of another entertainer who gets more illogical and unreasonable flack that he does simply because of his looks. People come up with a million different excuses to throw hate at him but as a neutral bystander who's seen him in a wide range of dramas and been paying attention to him for years, after scraping away all the baseless noise, in my opinion it boils down to him simply being too pretty to be liked. Which is utter b.s.

OH! Also, everyone's bad behavior is put in check really quickly too so that may be why it doesn't become frustrating.

I found this review to be super helpful in helping me decide whether or not I was in the mood to watch this:

Honestly, this is extremely low on the the annoying characters scale when thinking about cdramas. Yes, some characters do some dumb things but it never becomes overbearing and isn't ever drawn out so it's easy to blow off and move past. For me the most frustrating things about the drama are:

1) how the ML is treated once he finds out about his son and tries to become a part of his life (if I remember correctly this lasts a couple of episodes but then goes away...by around ep 9 or so I believe);
2) how long they draw out the issues and throw in obstacles before the main couple finally officially gets together, and
3) how immaturely the relationships are handled (all of them) for a few episodes (I think around episodes 18-20 or so).

There were a few times where I didn't care for the FL too but, again, it would become easy to brush off and move past. Everyone's strengths far outweighed their weaknesses, let's put it that way.

The writer and director are somehow are able to maintain the fluffiness throughout all of this so it never becomes too much or too heavy (or tooooo frustrating).

Also I see comments about how the kid steals the show but I'm sorry it's BOTH the kid and the ML. The ML is hilarious!

I recommend watching it. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would after skimming the comments AND after just finishing it I definitely don't regret watching it at all.

Thankfully it got better again fairly quickly.

The writing for the romance (all couples) just becomes more and more immature in the later episodes. I'm about to start ep 21 now. I've enjoyed the show for the most part until now but at this point I'm losing interest in the romance, which is the whole point of the drama.

This was a lot better than I expected it to be. I like it way better than I did Light Chaser Rescue, which I have yet to finish although I started that one months ago. Finished this in a couple of days.

He's just so adorable!

LOL! It's been so long since I watched this I don't remember anything about it but this comment was just too funny!

LOL! THIS right here is perfection. You nailed it!
