very good review

One of the best of the year. Very heartwarming and the story is absolutely wonderful. The acting, the costumes, the chemistry.... Definitely a very feel good drama. Hard to come by this kind of drama. I definitely would recommend this one.

I am glad. I am on episode 32 now and can see it getting better. Yuan Ying's father and older brother are a bit frustrating now, lol.

I have started watching again since it now has aired every episode. Picking up where I left off at episode 27 and have never been more infuriated. This was such a light hearted drama and very nice watch until now. The princes' father is a jerk (to put it mildly), seriously Prince Zheng has never done anything to cause problems and now you are believing your stupid jerk of a 2nd son. Their father won't even investigate, if it had been anyone else he would have, it kind of seems like they are purposely creating "drama and angst" for drama's sake.

Ming Lan is probably my absolute favorite costume C Drama. I have watched it numerous times. I absolutely love the story and the acting and the characters it is so good.

The thought process and idea is fairly good and it is a nice little "I am bored, etc." side entertainment idea. But.... it is basically a popularity, fan contest. If you really wanted to vote on Best Actors of a particularly genre, country, etc., you would put in actors who are really good, and not just the popular, high traffic ones (example only). It is very biased and the algorithm of it needs to be more thought out, but like I said at first it is "all in fun".

Its hard for me to choose. Korea does extremely where modern dramas are concerned, where as China does better in the historical, period, costume, wuxia, xianxia dramas.

Just started watching this for the first time, 20 mins in and I call bull crap on where they could have landed. That captain made a horrible decision. If they couldn't land in Anchorage, they could have gone to Juneau or even to Seattle or Portland, all of those airports are in between Anchorage and San Francisco. Just sayin'

I just finished watching this for the first time and I have to say I really liked it, even the last few episodes. I understand why some would not like the last few episodes. I get why they had the wife come back, she basically is the one that was able to clear up all the misunderstandings that Minister Park and Chief Kang had regarding the car accident. I guess they could of had Chief Kang's brother come out of his vegetative stage and do that earlier but, oh well. Which I think was a bit weird that in the end he did come out of what they said was a vegetative stage, didn't think that could happen realistically. Overall, the acting by all was superb. There were a few "like really" moments, but I liked the story. I did want a bit more dramatic longer minute ending, but it is normal K Drama cliché. I do think it could have been better in some areas, but it was not as bad imo as some of the comments have made it out to be.

Just curious, have you watched or are you watching New Life Begins. Talking about female empowerment it is thrown in your face at every turn. Not to say it is bad, because I actually am enjoying the drama very much, but it is getting overwhelming. I do agree with your comments above. Very well written.

I agree with you. I praised and absolutely loved this drama at the beginning and it still has some great scenes. The acting is amazing and the costumes, etc. It really is great for not being an S(+) drama. I haven't watched the last couple of episodes and I am debating if I still want to continue watching as they air or wait and binge the final 12 episodes. I love the stories, the female empowerment, and all that. BUT...... it is getting so overwhelming. I want more of the comedy and more of the relationship between the main leads. It is like their relationship isn't as important as making sure every other support character has their problems resolved, etc. I am wondering how many more women's issues or problems they can add to this drama. I still really like it and will finish it.

Devil Beside You and Why Why Love, my two favorites of hers and why I became such a fan of hers as well. I also liked Drunken to Love You. So much talent.

I felt the same way. But when they look at each other, you can see the chemistry sizzle. I am very impressed with both of them in this, cause i had misgivings at first, but am loving it so much.

what paper did he sign then, when he handed over his car keys, his credit cards, his wallet, etc. in front of her and her mother. and then he went out with that other lady and said let's celebrate me being free?

I love his little confession when he was drunk. The one she recorded.

It looks like that just happened in these last couple of episodes. I am not sure if he is at the regret stage yet, but even his older brother is shunning him now

I am on episode 8 right now and the following question has been bugging me, hope someone has some insight. Why is it so imperative that Qin Shi be married and yet Li Dai isn't? They currently both have the same status at the law firm (although Qin Shi is most likely becoming partner) and the drama is treating them as rivals. Not only that Bian Jing wanted Li Dai to be in charge of all their legal counseling/needs.

which one do you consider the secondary couple? Her ex and his fiancée (which I don't mind this couple, it kind of goes along with the story) or her brother and his wife, her bff (I hate this couple and hate their scenes, and I honestly think the person playing the bff is not a very good actress, watching her scenes next to Yang Mi, was cringeworthy, you can see the obvious different level of acting abilities, that is my opinion anyway)

Yeah I try to catch a lot with non high traffic actors, because sometimes it is nice to see a new face. I started watching Zhao LuSi way before she became huge and now she has become one of the high traffic actors. So maybe I will find another actor before they become famous.

yes, it is so good. I don't think I have been this excited about a drama that doesn't have high traffic actors in a long time.
