Here Here but I think this will be much better less infidelity and it seams more towards fulling unfinished love…
Oh hellooo!!! You watched Love too. 🙌🏻🙊👏🏻 think most people outside of Korea thinks that drama is pure craziness. 🤣did you watch all 3 seasons?? I got totally sucked into it unexpectedly…. It’s not usually my thing, coz I didn’t watch Penthouse, or SKY…
Really?? But all of them are married though…. As in all the dudes in the family… well the youngest son has yet to, but soon…. I somehow feel she’d still slot-in a heavy infidelity theme…..
Exactly.. whenever a new drama starts am afraid of the ending 😃.. hope this one has a proper HE..
Not only that…. it usually develops in a weird manner…. And this is a modern office C-drama with 40 episodes….. that’s a lot of episodes….. will be a challenging feat… 🤔 it’s typically much better flow, editing and plot development when it’s 24-32 episodes….
But this was adapted from a novel, so it could differ…. Really depends on the source material and screenwriting.
Couldn’t agree more with the review above. The 1st half is SOOooooo realistic. Lol, the ML gives sucha sense of familiarity…. But the deviation in the ending from the webtoon was totally so lame…. And superb clichéd….. why did they do that…. That’s totally the wrong msg to be sending out to young adults…. 🤦🏻♀️😔
Kim So Yeon was the perfect cast for the role…. She made it so sexy, badass and occasionally evil…. 😏😏😍😍 I loved this season much to my surprise…. Smart move to condense it to 12 episodes, defo very engaging….
Οκ this time things were more balanced compared to s1 also humor and bromance were the best parts for me !
I actually completed this one…. And really enjoyed it. I found the plot better amongst the other things you mentioned.
I dropped S1 actually. I like watching romance genres too…. But I found the romance in S1…. I don’t know… I still somewhat enjoyed the first half of it… but just lost interest as it progressed…. Partly due to the chemistry (which I’m not sure why…., they look great tog, and I watched BTS, they are really good friends), partly the plot, and probably other unidentified factors….
I thought they were the same person initially. 🤣 There is another dude that looks soooo similar to Cheng Yi…
lol. I think it’s a physical stereotype kinda thing in Mainland… so there are like certain…. ‘standards’….? Or blueprint….?
Coz…. Lol. I’m going to give another example… I TRULY thought Li Qin and Bai Lu was the same person for probably about a year…. 🤣 my bad. I’m like face-blind when it comes to many of the Mainland celebs…. It’s almost like there a set of ‘clusters’…..
It must be difficult for a Chinese woman to chose marriage. Who wants to get trapped in these?-she must take care…
Yeap. That’s the msg that all the more recent C-dramas in the past 5 years have explicitly highlighted….. like made it so damnnnn obvious, basically with a neon sign esp all the modern ones with family themes…. It becomes very extreme and also strange/abnormal…. Coz I mean the whole filial piety thing affects manyyyy Asian cultures… not only in Mainland… But to be fair, Mainland’s social issues are also very extreme (and will become more and more severe in the next 10-20 yrs) due to previous policies….
Yea, so there is a recent example of the scenario you quoted… I didn’t know about it until I came across the ‘Goo Hara act’ randomly…. Which is in S.Korea basically. It’s inspiring to see that they are progressing and they passed the act! Thank goodness. Felt sooooo unfair when reading about Goo Hara’s estate division. Some humans really have the audacity to do all sorts of crazy things. But yea, hence why I said…. I’m not so sure all these C-dramas should be sending such an extreme msg…. As society and mankind evolve and progress, anyone with half a brain will actually have a bigger retaliation towards an unreasonable and extreme msg… it just makes a person do the exact opposite when they probably wouldn’t normally have…
A year later and I’m still so mad + annoyed at the final episode that I vacillate between 8.5 and 9 every time I rewatch this…. I’ve just changed it to a 9 again because I realise the plot, screenwriting and production quality truly deserves it… but I’ve yet to arrive at the final episode…. I might turn into angry-bird again once I arrive at the cartoony ridiculous last fight scene in the final episode. 😠 Mind you it was meant to be an epic showdown…
This had so much potential to be a 10…. It had a really good balance of romance, wuxia, palace politics, camaraderie and art of war which is really rare…. Sighs, how unfortunate. But I still really enjoyed it…

Yea… it’s obvious that a lot of the C-dramas focus on this social issue the past couple of years (because it has come the time whereby the parents of the only-child generation is at/nearing old age)…. It is also significantly impacted by the one-child policy…. Because regardless of a son or a daughter…. The current generation is gravely affected by it and even the mentality of the younger generations still are although they’ve lifted the ban. So basically each child will have two parents which will make 4 parents once they get married. Under normal circumstances it would have been fine because the outcome would have been diluted, but because it is unnatural to have an entire nation of only-child… Nobody can escape it basically and it becomes an amplified problem.
Yes, also doesn’t help with the whole Confucianism/filial piety and patriarchy culture…. Which is different from the West whereby individualism and independence is core.
But if you think about it, it’s seriously crazy and the burden becomes unimaginable because it isn’t a one-off….. it’s a frequent day-to-day never ending slew of occurrences. 😳😳😳
I watched a S.Korea drama which was based on a true story in Japan… it basically is about this as well although they presented it differently and the focus was slightly different. But the general message is also about how the current generation of modern females in Asia have the short end of the stick regardless…. And I really liked that drama because they showed the ramifications of it (which I personally felt was heartbreaking, because I read the MDL comments and as usual a lot of the blame is on the female again 😢) from an Asian female perspective objectively instead of trying to send a msg/teach a lesson like ‘parents can do no wrong and you should never abandon them etc etc’…. Which I feel is actually the wrong msg to send though…. This isn’t really going to fix the social issue, it’s actually going to exacerbate it. 🤦🏻♀️
She totally can pass off as a dude without makeup…. And I think a lot of people noticed this….. coz she was…
Yes. Sometimes like my brain just can’t stop thinking ‘dude…. Is everyone blind……? She’s obviously a girl….‘ And I keep looking at how small her face is and how feminine everything is……. And I lose track of the dialogue and the plot…. 🤣 and I’m like wth…. Epic fail.
I think Liu Mei Tong is doing a great job acting as a guy 👍 Must be fun to take on the action scenes as well.
She totally can pass off as a dude without makeup…. And I think a lot of people noticed this….. coz she was the one who played the Crown Prince in Joy of Life. I thought she looked so much like a dude then…. I was truly amazed, I actually had to check the cast to find out if she was an actor or actress.
But I also thought she did sucha good job in Douluo Continent…. It’s truly rare to be able to pull off both genders….. sorry to say that most female actresses disguising as a male really is too far fetched and laughable…. Makes it really distracting and difficult to focus on the drama.
Yes, GY mom did explain to her son. GY was unconcerned about the matter before QJ raised it. Why she was misunderstanding…
Oh hello! Haha. Nice to meet you. ☺️
Of course it’s crucial! It basically is the core of the entire plot. She would have NEVER met him and fell for him forcefully if otherwise. There wouldn’t even be a story to begin with. It wasn’t that they met coincidentally through work… she intentionally went to work for him and got close to him etc etc.
Um….. I’ve watched up to the latest episode… so I am actually following it quite closely…. Did you watch All is Well? I took a peek at your Watchlist, doesn’t look like you did… I don’t want to simply provide an opinion without any context. Hence why I’m asking. 🙂

Ah… right…. Well fair… lol. I had the exact same feeling, so I’m going to stop watching and catch up later so I could binge watch.

Fingers and toes crossed that this is a real good drama, no weird endings plz.
To whoever who’s also watched Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce)…. Let’s hope this turns out as addictive. 🙊💃🏻🙊💃🏻
