Wow. I came just to see if I want to check out this movie. Even the explanations sounds complex. Thanks for explaining it.

These are hagwon teachers. They hold their college admission in their hands. I would be egoistic if I can guarantee my students would get into medicine or law in Korea University etc.

Using an analogy here.

Technically recent news articles have been coming out about teachers being abused by parents. Then you need to read articles about hagwon in S Korea.

Then the other thing about teaching graduates needing to study to pass the teaching exams which are hard. I know a few teachers and also know people who graduated well from the top universities. I would not do well in the Korean educational system but heck yeah if someone can promise my parents I could 100% get into Yonsei I expect that teacher to be confident and boastful too.

I watched the director's previous dramas. I didn’t like the actors or the story. Personal preferences. I watched it but totally not to my taste. It was filmed beautifully, great acting, story was smooth but still not my type of plot. I didn't get excited over the forbidden romance nor coo over the kisses. I actually thought the female lead was too placid. She had backbone in the end but just so uninteresting. I am going to offend a lot of fans but you guys have to understand; I don't need to have the same taste as you.

However having a bold, decisive female lead excites me. You don't get success in a competitive industry by sitting back.

So if you couple that will good writing, good cinematography because your director is proven; then good acting and actors with chemistry then its a win- win situation. The only issue I have is that its another noona- dongsaeng romance. I want them to have kids. If you write a great couple why can't they end with a happy family with children? Yes some people will say happiness doesn't need to include children. Putting aside these comments about my comment I would again assert that just as you like what you want I can state what I like.

So yeah I was thrilled when this drama started. Plot is everything you know. Not just acting, directing and chemistry. I cannot enjoy a drama when its stupid or there is a plot I don't like. There are reasons why I haven't watched Reborn Rich, DP, Taxi etc. I didn't like the plot.

I already started smiling when I watched episode 1. I suffered through One Spring Night hoping it will change its relentless story. It just felt like something I had to finish because I thought things would change because the director was so good and had actors I trusted. Omg now I remember- I only watched it because of her insufferable ex. I liked the actor there but never seen him before. Then I fell for him in Hospital Playlist in his next role. He also didn't get the girl.

Don't think so. I am not going to have the kid be an orphan. So no. Maybe the writers will write better endings next time because viewers don't like these sort of endings.

Geez. Ergh.

Yucks.

This is will be a pass. Thanks.

Why? I am about to start then found out about the ending. I don't want to read more and more spoilers. Can you please explain why they had to kil themselves? I realise there is a daughter.

These Chinese dramas.... why do they feel the need for tragedy?

It was an ensemble cast doing a slice of life drama. I love it as sometimes I want to watch a drama with good writing, acting and costumes etc.

I don't need gore, shrieking parents, idiotic second leads, endless torture, multiple deaths as you do in the palace dramas.

Even the concubines and main wives got along here. Very happy with this drama.

Thanks. Looking forward to it then. I was surprised at how much I like the main actress in her other drama you see.

Thanks. I really like the actors or rather both main leads relaxed sort of vibes in their previous works you see.

Guess will start this in a couple of days.

I have both viki and Netflix and I have not watched any Chinese or Korean dramas on Netflix for almost a year. I am almost shocked at how many shows I am actually watching on viki. Looking forward to this.

I didn't realise I needed to check on the director and writer. I like the actors but dislike Something in the rain. Now I have to recall what I liked about One Spring Night.

Wow. I just went to the director's works. I didn’t realize he has directed quite a few dramas which I've watched. He had a very lush atmospheric style and vibe. I actually really like " I heard it through the grapevine. " I will now adjust my expectations for this drama. But wow, guess it won't be a light drama then.

Putting aside the ending- is the journey worth it?

I have or done Blossoms in adversity. I was waiting for this to end.

I am normally a shallow rom com viewer however someone recommended " fake it till you make it " on MDL. I really, really like the unexpected depth.

I like the actor. I like the FL unexpectedly when she did the romance with Wu Lei.
Now I normally wouldn't touch this drama because of the ML's job. And I keep hearing the terms " toxic and gaslighting. "

So. In spite of all this- is the drama worth starting because of the writing? I already know the main leads can act.

I am currently only on Lovely Runner. I haven't even started " Best Choice Ever. " I was planning to finish the 8 episodes of Lovely Runner. Then start this and Queen of tears. There are no other currently airing dramas that interest me except for the " The midnight romance in hagwon."

Haha. Ok. I hadn't started ep 1. So I guess I want tonight as its almost 9pm.

Thanks. My incoming dramas have good plots or good chemistry but man don't like the plots or the jobs. This has an evil 2ML and a brain tumour with amnesia, the other has a limb amputated and a mortifician, the next are con artists in a novel and a 15 sec ending in real life, the 4th has the ML committing suicide.

I am in need for a simple romance. I am in half a mind to watch those 10 min web dramas. But then the only good one has a female asssasin FL.

Argh.

So what was the old HW at the grave then? You mean old as in age and she died before him? I can accept that but that is weird jt was included. Unless the dates were included to show they had decades together.

I would have to watch single episodes daily. Apparently there is too much crying. From thr viewers. I know he cries.

I haven't started the drama. What do you mean? Its not in spoilers so I presume it's known. Is the couple together? What do you mean the old HW?

Am I even starting episode 1? Did she die? I read something about time slip? I am not starting this drama then.

Korean standard time? In a Korean drama.

Lol.

Oh good. I am waiting for the ending than watching. A bit hard to admire a male lead where all he does is cry.

I also happen not to like the actor playing Park Sung Hoon anyway so plan to just skip his part or mute when he talks just read what he says

That's the beauty of watching a completed drama.

Sigh. I still haven't started. I am just curious. Does the male lead work? Like is he a genius lawyer or something?

All I've read in the comments is that he cried.

Even the Captain in CLOY could be a good soldier and had some leadership skills. All you guys ever talk about is his crying. How do you get to be the senior lawyer if the senior shark keeps crying in every episode?

Thanks. I avoided this drama based on the synopsis however the reviews are good. The rating is not so good but who cares? I juat want a romance. I still haven't started this drama but am waiting for the ending.

I might still watch this drama just for the actors. The evil male lead seems to have people upset and it would be an effort not to fast forward his scenes.
