I agree with the others - this show is so underrated. The actors are doing an excellent job and the story is engaging and interesting. I am just finishing up ep 9 and I cannot believe the mother-in-law. It's so hurtful for Bo Na, and it's sad that prejudice against orphans and adopted children in South Korea is deeply rooted.

Excellent watch! I almost want it to have more episodes so I can see Film and Bua deliver more angst. They both are so good with emotional scenes, and talented actors overall. The supporting cast did a great job too, especially the actors playing the younger versions of Yai and Ran. As expected we have the evil shrieky mother and clingy nang rai but given the short length of the drama, they weren't too irritating. Overall I would recommend.

Thanks! I am grateful that the streaming platforms are airing more Japanese dramas especially the older ones. There's definitely a different flavor to the Japanese ones which I enjoy :)

Finally finished this one after getting distracted by a few new shows along the way. I liked it a lot, although it did drag a bit in the middle.

It has so many of the elements I love in a good Xianxia drama—the unspoken words conveyed through actions, the angst, the sacrifices, the unwavering commitment and devotion, the fierce and sometimes blind love, and so much more.

Ni Ni was amazing, and Chang Chen was perfect as the GoW. The supporting cast was also excellent and added so much to the story. And the OST definitely deserves a mention—it complemented the drama beautifully.

Overall, a satisfying watch in the end.

Thanks! I figured I should have watched the series to at least understand the characters and the dynamics between them. Luckily Netflix just added all 7 seasons so I can catch up and revise my rating later.

It is pretty ridiculous but I gave it a decent rating because I liked the actors.

Maybe it's just me but I like this pairing - Film and Bua have always been great at emoting quiet intensity and now that there are more scenes of them together in eps 5 and 6, I am enjoying them more. I don't think this show is only 10 episodes. Seems like there's more to unpack.

Love the leads’ story—Gang Uk simply showing up, using his skills, supporting and understanding Yeori, and being exactly what she needed without trying to make himself the hero. Unlike the creepy SML, who literally created the crisis just so he could swoop in and save the day.
Watched the preview for ep 10 and I understand why people are irritated but I still have faith in this show. Hopefully the final two episodes will not fail us.

Guess I was in the mood for a simple but action-packed movie because I really enjoyed this one. Like others have mentioned, there wasn’t much in the way of character or plot development, but the cinematography, directing, music, and acting were all great. The fight scenes were especially well done, and JOJ really made me believe that a petite girl like her could take down all those men. KJH was sexy-creepy in the best way, and as brief as his scenes were, KMY pulled off that villain vibe so well.

Perhaps I needed to watch the series first but I didn't really get this show. It was a little bizarre for me but I did like the female doctor. She was brilliant, quirky and outrageous in a good way. Would I recommend it? Not immediately so I am going to take the easy way out and say, try it and see if you like it :D

It's ok - not sizzling but not bland either.

Yeah like @love triangles anti said, he didn't seem to have a clue until Baihui confirmed. At least he sensed there was something off between the two 😀

Of course I prefer Jiang Yu Bai over Shen Fu Xuan but I really don't want SFX to end up with that young patient...the setup is way too cliched
Also, I cannot believe the Lin siblings are so oblivious - not seeing the competition between the two...

I love that Jin BaiHui took the initiative and opportunity to be closer to the person she likes! I have been rooting for this couple since they first started hanging out together.

My first asadora, and I can’t believe I made it through all 151 episodes! This show certainly left an impression—so much so that my family said they’re going to miss hearing the quirky intro song playing every time I watched an episode. 😂

I’m glad the story was told largely from Fukuko’s perspective as the “woman behind the man.” Whether completely true to history or not, I appreciated that the show made an effort to acknowledge the people who surrounded and supported Manpei throughout his journey, which ultimately culminated in the creation of Cup Noodles.

As draggy as some of the arcs could be, I really did enjoy this show. After 151 episodes, it feels a little strange to finally say goodbye!

Echoing everyone else - this is such a good watch and the episodes never fails to entertain! Our couple is just too cute - I love how natural they are - the way Yeo-ri acts so giddily in anticipation and Gang Uk all fumbly and silly.

Just started this and already binged through episode 16! While it has the usual high school drama elements—friendships and relationships forming, the clichéd parental expectations around grades and performance, and the personal growth of the main characters—it’s still very entertaining.

I really like the cast, and I think they’re pulling off the youthful vibe really well. The characters and their relationships have kept me interested despite the familiar storyline. After watching through half the show though, I’d love for the plot to shift its focus to the present day. I’m really curious to see more of who they are now and what their adult lives and relationships look like.

So happy that this is on Viki... I love Film and Bua and I cannot wait to see how the chemistry is between them. So far not much interaction between them in the first two episodes but I can just anticipate the angst!

This one was ok overall. It kept my interest through about Episode 16, but after that it started to drag. I stuck with it mainly because of Mike He—I was willing to sit through all the unnecessary filler just to see more of him.

I like Ivy Shao, but her character was a disappointment. I'm not sure if she was meant to embody kindness, purity, and the idea that good ultimately triumphs, but the character came across as flat and lacking depth. The writers tried to give her some "strong female lead" traits by making her stubborn and willing to sacrifice herself for love and the greater good, but instead I found her increasingly frustrating to watch.

That said, I do like the chemistry between Ivy and Mike. The emotional scenes were impactful and these actors can really pull off the crying scenes.

The rest of the cast was just okay. The actor playing the villain clearly gave it his all, but somehow he never quite felt convincing enough to make the character truly memorable. The character, En Shi on the other hand, was just so annoying that I would remember her longer.

Jo Hye Joo as Ha-Ri is doing a great job pissing me off ;D And our lead couple is just so cute together. Cliched it may be but I am enjoying this show!
