I am mentally exhausted waiting for the romance. There is no payback. I watched the preview for ep 34 and we are still not together? Geez.
At this point do we still need spoilers? Its a 36 episode drama and ep 30 has already aired. I don't think the comments would have been different if it aired in 2023. I will chalk it up as an early work by the 2 actors whom I like.
Liu Rui Lin's acting is still the same. He still plays supporting roles. I really winced when Li Yi Fei did the whole pout and the whole lower jaw moving back and forth pretending to be angry scene. The writers and director could have done it better. Its like asking a good actor to pretend to be a toddler. It just doesn’t work. The writers just destroyed 2 good actors in a romance drams and spent the whole drama helping the 2FL at her work. Shesh.
At the end of the day besides the good writing, pacing, directing, lighting, music, supporting characters, acting.... at the end of it all I like the main leads individually.
It took me awhile but I think its because whether they are in a scene together or separately; I like how well rounded their characters are. I am happy they found each other but its such a relief to NOT have an idiotic main lead I have to support just because they are the main leads.
It just shows that actors who can act do actually shine when the character, plot and directors are actually good.
The romance was nice, but it wasn't the sizzling type, if you know what I mean. 😂 It felt much more tame.I…
Its ok. I am happy with this drama. The main leads had a lot of good interactions. I also really like that the 2 leads are such good characters and the actors have acted way better than my expectations. I mean I have always liked them but the characters felt fleshed out this time.
Man I hate the fact Ye Li became soft at the end and didn’t end that bitch empress dowager. Entitled bitch.…
Not enough episodes ok? I had enough stress as it is. Its been a long time since I actually stop so early, yet kept reading and now will finish off the series.
Dynasty killing plotline dramas take up too much time. Easy killings feels like the writers were lazy. So its bette to save the screentime for my main couple. I have seen way too many dramas where if the Emperor is dead the main couple have to live a reclusive, obscure life away from family.
LOL! Examining WRH's head size!It was actually filmed in spring of 2023. Probably trying to save on the budget…
The AI has gotten worse as the episodes progressed. He is now a grey- ish mushroom coloured complexion and it doesn’t fit the neck. Once you see it you can't unsee it. I mean his scenes are so boring that I don't even pay attention to him talking so I am just looking at the face.
ikr they are dragging the story line!! so she can put her chichis in his face while laying on top of him,they…
There were a few sofa scenes where he didn't let her have something. He stretched out his arms. She laid on top of him. Her chest were either near his collarbone or above his face. Those scenes lasted over 10 seconds each time.
I don't actually remember many standing on feet hugging actually. They must have been brief ones.
The sofa scenes showed that the male was affected. She wasn't aware.
ikr they are dragging the story line!! so she can put her chichis in his face while laying on top of him,they…
The thing is the actress had to do those scenes This is almost more invasive than the normal lip kissing the actors do. The actors normally just keep their chest apart when doing bed scenes so yeah the frequent close contact but no awareness is kinda nuts. If she really doesn't feel that deeply or doesn't even feel physically attracted then its a lost cause.
I have watched the ep 27-30 previews. Isn’t this a 36 episodes drama? That means it will end on Friday.
I don’t see any confirmation of the relationship within these 4 episodes.
I have now spent more time analyzing Wang Ruo Hai's face being smaller than the body it was superimposed on.
There was a long moment that there was something wrong with Yao Jing Jung's head in ep 24 I think. I thought it was the camera angle even because the actress is so skinny that her head looked unbalanced.
I forgive this drama's poor pacing when I realise it was celebrating 2022. This must have been filmed in 2021. That's so long ago.
Did you watch it? That was a delusion. There is no love or liking on the male lead's part. The FL was deluding…
Did the male even look interested in the FL? The comments about the convenience store is fair enough. However the comment about the date didn't sound like a typical interested in a girl comment. Drinking outside?
What kind of job do you do man? My dept is big and most people live or within 30 minutes drive to work. A lot of us bump into each other at the shops. Plus people meet up for coffee outside work. Or pubs.
If you think every intereraction must lead to romance... then sure, go ahead.
No need to shout. You seem more interested in this subject than I am. Why are you so emotional over it? Its only been 2 episodes and its only a drama in a long line of dramas. This is one of 2 Kdramas I am watching. I am not even worked up over it. Its entertainment and passes the time.
Reality is harsh. Let me see what my reality is yesterday on Friday... I met mutiple palliative care patients who were pale and either had lungs filled with fluid or so dry from dehydrationI felt sorry for them, a last trimester pregnant woman with fast heart rate literally collapsed, a few other clients crying in front of me.
So yeah you are the one who live in delulu land. You want to watch the harsh reality dramas go ahead. As for me, this drama is relaxing. The office is clean, her apartment is clean, she has alcohol in her fridge, she goes to work on time and clocks out on time, she dresses ok, the whiskey was free, the boss is the only person yelling, her colleagues were nice- mine can be super lazy and dumb. I had one new colleague almost crying with the workload yesterday, she manages to have nice work lunches.
So yeah looks ok to me for a office drama. Its only been 2 episodes in. If I wanted a gritty serious workplace bullying, passive aggressive parents, intimidating/harassing boss, suicidal/depressed main leads I'd watch a different drama.
this drama is so shallow ..... so delulu rosey... so this man-eater boss already liked her and ust shows in already…
Did you watch it? That was a delusion. There is no love or liking on the male lead's part. The FL was deluding herself. I have no idea what you watched.
The episodes just shows office drama interactions only.
This is better than I anticipated. The actors are good. The female lead is great with such nuanced acting. I guess I hit some pretty mediocre actresses lately so whenever Ji Yun comes on I can literally see what she feels.
However what I came online to comment is that the vibe for this drama is lighter than I anticipated. Its also less cliched. The cliched moments all had an unexpected twist to it. The director really pranked us. The directing here is superb. The scene transitions are seamless, the camera lingers on a moment when it needs and moves away faultlessly. You may think I am nuts but I absolutely abhor it when it pans so close, stays a tad too long, goes on a wrong angle or really too close to the actor, then has an abrupt mood change. Even the music was nice. I used to listen to Standing Egg when I was in my indie music phase.
I have watched multiple office dramas where I see the screaming manager. Isn’t the guy Ko just right? He has the sarcasm, the sneakiness, the pettiness JUST RIGHT. He is even not too loud. It takes a good actor but it also takes a good director not to take things too far.
However I may have come here to gush over Park Ji Hyun. I don't know who she is but even her scenes drinking beer comes across with the right mood. I kid you not I really have had some pretty bad actors in my recent dramas.

See the ratings. Extremely well paced drama and I am usually a grumpy viewer for historical dramas.

Thank you.
