Telling everyone that you broke off your engagement over some ridiculous reason, and then being upset that they don’t pity you. Seriously, what were you thinking? Any man that would have broken up with their partner for this reason would have received a slap in the face.
Yay gender discrimination, marital status discrimination, and cheaters getting away with affairs and stealing your credit. The way none of these get resolved properly is so unsatisfying. If it werent for all that this would have been a great story
This works really well as a stand-alone watch, can someone who watched No Gain No Love tell me in what way the…
In the original the female and male lead you see here are supporting characters in the original. The female lead wrote this erotic webtoon in the original and the male lead discovers the webtoon by accident after he sees it on his mom's tabled. The male lead is quite shocked by the discovery and starts writing hate comments on every chapter of the webtoon. The female lead then sues him and after that they meet and fall in love. While they are supporting characters in the original their story is quite a big part of the whole story.
The main character of the webtoon was based on the female lead's childhood crush, but she ends up fallinf in love with the boss of that childhood crush. This is also why she is surprised to see the male lead and not her crush in this drama.
Just curious why do you find the story a mess? For me personally it was smooth flowing after initial few episodes
Regardless of what the reason was. They did their best with what was given to them and they created an okay drama with a cute couple. That’s all that matters

Understandable. Like I said, there are a plotlines that were a bit random or not thoroughly explored. This is a common trait with BL dramas since they have so few episodes, so it didn't really ruin the show for me that much. I'll try explaining a few points that stood out to me.
One plotline I thought was a bit weak is Zi Xiang's cousin being upset with Zi Xiang for only being rescued after he told everyone else that he was also in the water. The whole interaction with those guns pointed at their heads made me cringe because it was just so random.
Then, related to that plotline is the situation with Zi Xiang's father. I get that he wants Zi Xiang to take over the business, but after Zi Xiang decides to stay in Taiwan, he shows up once and leaves right away without looking like anything had been resolved or achieved. I was also not buying the whole "I'm doing it for my son because I love him" bit. When Zi Xiang said that, I thought, "Where in all that rambling did you hear that?"
And then my gripe with Shao Peng is that he struggled to pass an interview, but it didn't look like he was trying really hard. During the interview the man said a whole bunch of things but he didn't really try to butt in or disprove the man's claims. Later, when a careworker said that they had deaf patients in that care facility and needed people who could sign to work for them. It made me wonder if he hadn't thought of working with deaf or mute people before My last problem with the show was when Zi Xiang's fiance went to Shao Peng to provoke him, she said, "Thank you for taking care of my fiance." and just left. Like, you went all the way there just for that?
My problems are mostly just me thinking, "That's it?" I wish BL dramas would last as long as HET dramas, but alas. The world isn't yet ready for the power of full-length BL dramas.
while the story was a mess, I really did love what Zi Xiang said to Shao Peng in the hospital. “Your strength doesn’t mean you are not allowed to be weak or rely on others.”
great acting and cinematography but the story is always repeating itself … it’s always a weak disabled single…
have you watched “Tell me that you love me”? In this drama the male lead is deaf but he’s portrayed as someone who simply lives his life to the best of his abilities.
“hidamari ga kikoeru” and “See your love” are also great dramas btw. In the “See your love” one the deaf male lead can fight really well
