Yes, it definitely does.

Just announced drama will be on HBO Max. Also coming to Viki. They may be others later.

This plot reminds me of the 2010 film "Life As We Know It." It's a similar set up.

This is the term used by the original broadcast network of IQIYI. At IQIYI they have several anthology series and they put the dramas under the various series. So, this is "Heartbeat Theater Series" with the theme of romance. So each particular drama is an original content drama. The content is not related to the other dramas. It is just that the dramas all have the same theme of romance and are under the Heartbeat Theater Anthology Series name. If you go to IQIYI website, you can click on Heartbeat Theater and find all of the dramas in one place. This is why they are listed as "Related Content at MDL, because all of the dramas listed were designated as part of Heartbeat Theater by IQIYI. IQIYI also have "Light On Theater" anthology series that features mystery/thriller dramas.

Imitation (2021) has similar vibe. Drama is also set in K-pop industry. ML is a superstar and there is a mystery surrounding one of his group members. FL is a rookie girl group member.

Sure. Yes, it's a great show.

I recommend Taiwan drama "See Your Love." It is so cute and sweet. It is a different type of story because one of the main lead characters is deaf. There's a mix of silly humor, heart, and spice. It's a true "healing" drama as both of the main lead characters have issues that they work through and resolve with the support of the other. It's just a real feel-good drama. If you decide to watch it, make sure to watch until the very end after the credits of Ep. 13 for the bonus scenes. It's available to watch at many sites. I saw it on Viki.

Thanks for your response.

Thank you for the information. So they had past relationship, now it makes better sense to me the actions of ML.

Thank you for the information. If they had a past romantic relationship, his words and behavior making more sense to me. *(Although I don't like the forced kiss trope, sigh)

Thanks for your insights. Now it make better sense to me why he did that.

Okay. Forgive me, but I am confused. The ML keeps saying things that hint he and FL were a romantic couple in the past, but it look to me like she just think of him as a younger brother with no romantic interest. So why the forced kiss in Ep. 3? Is the ML just have delusion? I know ML like FL from the beginning, but what about FL? Did they truly have a relationship in the past? Or is this a drama where ML have a crush since young, but the FL only like him when they meet again years later in present times?

yes, me, too.

I think one of Shi's messages mention that Fan Xiao said he was going to dump disgusting YSL. So YSL then mention in the scene to FX, something like why you hate me? FX say I don't hate you. And the YSLrespond something like, No, your disgust. So he was referring to the message sent to FX by Shi where Shi mentions FX call YSL disgusting.

You're welcome.

Someone post a Machine Translated English version of the novel in the Discussions above. The translation can be confusing because it is from machine and not a human, but you can give it a try.

Yes, Shu Lang and Zhen break up. Zhen is manipulated by Fan Xiao into thinking that Fan Xiao likes him, so Zhen decides to break up with Shu Lang. I wouldn't call it cheating, exactly, but Zhen does meet with Fan Xiao, but nothing happens at the meetings.

You're not alone. I don't like the character of FX either. I wish we could have a different plotline where YSL exits this toxic relationship and finds love and happiness with a nice person. That would be satisfying. But that's not the plot of this series. Of course, he will end up with FX. We can only hope that FX truly earns his redemption and it's not another case of a quick forgiveness by YSL. I notice that happens a lot in Asian dramas.
