😊 I’m happy that we get to enjoy this good drama!

Ah ok…thank you!

That’s very plausible. I was thinking that the location was ideal because it was impenetrable and harsh. Besides the Gong family had ways to sustain their lives.
However it made sense that there is something they are guarding. Very intriguing!

Right now, GZY is still too hot-headed and immature to take over so I guess YWS will help him navigate his way through wisely. We still don’t know her mission but I don’t think it is as simple as killing the Sword Wielder.
Maybe SGQ’s and her missions are to cause internal strife that takes down the whole Gong family.
So many questions and with only 1 episode a day, 😣

I wanted to watch the rest of the episodes so that I could properly respond to your comment 😀
So now I can say I agree with you. The story so far is well written and acted., There were still cliched characters which I can predict their development but they are not featured i enough to be annoying. More comic relief than anything else. I’m enjoying BBH’s and XZ’s interactions and they play characters that I can totally root for.
Like you, I hope the show stays consistent to the end!

I started ep 1 yesterday and thought it was slow and tropey. Now that I’ve binged to ep 9, I would recommend this show.
It’s an entertaining slice of life drama focused on gender, age and societal perceptions.
Some characters are still cliched but you won’t be disappointed with the main characters. The leads are charismatic and the FL makes decisions that will cause you to cheer for her. BBH is a talented actress whom I have been watching for awhile. XZ who’s the ML has done different shows that proved his acting range and he’s charming in this one. Of course there’s his visuals too 😊 but don’t let that distract you from his acting ability.
Overall, I hope the show stays on track. I look forward to the romance but even if it is slow burn, that’s fine too since the show highlights multiple topics that are already interesting in their own right.

They cast interesting-looking men, including the latest Master Yue - all attractive, each unique look. Bonus for us viewers 😅

Yes, the lighting, the details, the music…in addition to the acting and fight scenes -it’s all so well done! I’m really intrigued by the plot…

I found my new obsession! The cinematography and choreography are amazing and Esther surprised me with this role. I’ve always liked her and this time, she’s gone up another level!

Thank you for providing such an in-depth explanation! You indulged my love for spoilers ☺️
I really enjoy watching jiejie/noona romances but to be honest, I am more interested in how the show presents the topics of gender and age. It sounds like I have lots to look forward to so I appreciate your insights!

Thank you so much!!!🙏

Thanks! I do plan to continue since my rule is never to drop a drama until after I have watched half the series 😁
I do love spoilers though and I love to ask others how the story will develop so I appreciate the details you provided.
I’ve only watched one episode and the mother, boss and husband seem like photocopies of characters from so many other shows. I’m fine with ciliches as long as the story does not take too much time to develop. Hence my question 😁

Thank you for trying to improve the MDL comment sections 😊

I guess you’re right but that’s ok. I’m not an anti of any actor. I just like to find out in advance how the story develops lol.
I don’t care at all about the rude comments. Easy to ignore and I focus on the ones with substance 😄

Lucky you! I often want to watch the Turkish dramas but they are so hard to find except the ones on Netflix 😁

Exactly - I don’t usually go by ratings or comments since I prefer to try the shows out myself. I do like spoilers though so I often asked others what will happen next lol

Thank you for understanding what I was trying to ask. I guess that the defensive response from the other commenter was because they assumed that I was an anti of XZ since I said I am watching for the FL 😁

No, I meant it’s aired up to 7 episodes and I’m wondering if there will be any progress in either lead’s life or are they still stuck in the same negative phases with the boss and husband? If we still have to deal with those cliched characters, then I will probably watch 2x speed until there is a transition.
I don’t have any expectations for first couple of episodes as usually they are used to set up the stories but by ep 8, hopefully there’s some proper development…

Just finished ep 1 - it’s slow and tropey. ML’s mother and boss as well as FL’s husband are so cliched. Very tedious to watch.
I like the actress playing the FL though so I’m going to continue for a few more episodes.
Those who watched more episodes, will things finally get resolved in the next few episodes and both leads finally move forward to better things in their own lives? Or do we still have to suffer watching the FL’s husband and ML’s boss?

Yes I think so. Aged not very well I guess
