Something Else

this description reminds me of “Brocade Odyssey.”

I was thinking of watching this because I liked the lead actress in "Love Scout," but from the comments the drama doesn't seem like it's worth it. I'm in a K/C/Jdrama slump right now, but I don't think I'm this desperate yet. lol

The ending was confusing. I'm glad it wasn't a first tier show for me. I skimmed it when I had nothing else to watch.

My goodness, thank you for the summary! I like the lead actors but see that the show is trash. I’m sure there’s some audience that enjoys this, but I’m looking for a phoenix FL who rises from the ashes. it’s supposed to be inspiring, not depressing.

I agree, but they can broadcast globally while not accepting production deals with the likes of Netflix and Disney. If it's a "take it or leave it" deal then Japanese shows can maintain their artistic integrity. lol

No lie. It's getting a little easier with Amazon Prime, Viki, and Netflix. Netflix is pulling really old Japanese shows, but they are providing something which is better than nothing. But I've yet to find an app dedicated to Japanese shows (in English).

She never left. Even if Love's Ambition wasn't a massive hit she'd still have a career.

In what world does she have a filmography and career like she's had and it end over one talent agency? AND she had a hit with Love's Ambition? She'll be fine.

That’s funny.

He's giving me a little Park Seo Joon.

Where am I supposed to watch this? Because you know I’m not going to a stray vertical drama app!

I just saw this and was flabbergasted!

This drama is dragging for me primarily because the SIL villain is straight up from the mid 2000s. We know she's going to torture them all then get a redemption arc at the end. Her daughter will find out she's been an AH the whole time then turn against her. That's when the mother will change.

Honestly, I need a good Chinese drama. I miss "Love's Ambition."

Lawd, I just got used to her looking older and now she's found a way to look younger again?! Of course she doesn't look exactly the way she used to, but she is young to me!!!

The extra bit in the final episode wasn’t needed at all. I don’t know why it was added. And it made me hope that they aren’t going to tell another lie.

So, did her husband know the "important details" about her before they got married? Is he also in on the "situation"?

I like Song Joong Ki and Chun Woo Hee, but I'm not about to watch either of them die in a drama. I can deal with angst, but if it's anything else? Nope. That's why it's easy for me to wait till the end.

What to you image "ending badly" looks like?

I like Jung Chae Yeon way more in this drama than "Family by Choice."

Thanks for the info. Like Sweet0Girl wrote, it takes a lot for me to want a second season of a show, but this series needs it just to bring the leads together. I don't care about an age gap at all when the romance is organic and neither character is just thirsty to have a romance.

I want to watch this, but my fear is that one of them is going to die at the end. I don't know why I feel this way.
