Good Grief

Zhao Lusi is not blacklisted. KU is a disgusting company after treating her badly!

I think they look good on screen. :) I can watch them again on another project.

People must have lost it...this man is still hasn't crossed 30s...he's 39. That's nothing and is definitely not "old". Zhao lusi is also 27 and a veteran in industry now. Both are mature. I understand criticism of acting but i don't understand severe criticism of a man for being 39 especially when Zhao Lusi has previously done dramas like dating in the kitchen. That pairing felt odd to me because at that time, she was 20 and he was very old for her. By now, she herself as well as her character in the drama is mature. Funny thing is, PEOPLE ARE BEING RACIST to the chinese in the comments when we see pairings with even more age difference in Hollywood. Even in korean movies, this age gap is pretty normal.

SHM declaring to anyone who'll listen that he's tried everything to get Xu Yan back, and not one of them has asked how he apologised or if he told her how he supposedly feels. Anytime he wants to approach her, it's through tricks and deception... Throwing money around, manipulating the people around her, inserting himself into her life without invitation... Everything BUT an honest moment with her where he acknowledges his wrongdoing and expresses what he claims to feel.

I can't stop feeling that his problem isn't that he lost the woman he loves, but rather just that he lost and he doesn't like losing. I'm seeing the direction they're going with this and honestly, it's not something I'm enjoying right now. Every scene with SHM makes me more irritated and that's really not what you want with your leading character.

Poor secretary literally drowning in shame for being exposed by XY 😂

Honestly I wasn't going to watch this bc the synopsis sounded terrible to me. But I wanted to watch and show my support for Zhao Lusi. And honestly even tho it didn't get promotions, it's doing amazing in ratings. The whole cast and behind the scene crew did so good.

And this proves our Zhao Lusi doesn't need an agency to promote her. She is good enough to be her own agency/manager.

are you talking about fated hearts? this is Love's ambition page😆

I'm currently halfway through ep 23, and I need Hao Ming to LOCK IN with his attempts at reconciliation. He needs to actually apologize to Xu Yan and talk it through with her instead of whatever manipulative playing the victim shit he's pulling rn. I want to actually see that he's in love and not just that he's used to her being around. I can feel it a little, but I need more to actually support them being together. Him getting his frontal lobe back and grovelling a little might help that a bit. Also, the evil corporate villain plot was SO unnecessary in this show since we already have so much going on, but I hope that gets wrapped up soon, cause I need at LEAST one episode dedicated fully to their happy ending. But by the amount of filler they're putting into the last few episodes, I have a bad feeling that the ending is going to be rushed. I just hope we get express this weekend so I can get off this emotional rollercoaster and be happy that Lusi finally aired a drama after so long and patiently wait for the next one.

I cannot with SHM. He needs to apologize first. Then start on trying to reconcile… his attempts are funny and so insincere

I really want them to talk to each other like honest talk.

Idk how to feel about the recent episodes.
I agree with some of the comments that SHM’s behaviour is childish. I get that they try to show us how SHM remembers little things about XY, like her phone number etc. But I feel like the plot is all over the place. Some scenes are so random. Idk what messages the director and writer try to convey. I would prefer XY and SHM to have a proper conversation like they did in the resort.
Judging from the preview until episode, it looks like the tone of the story is still the same. I’m still hopeful that they will show us proper resolutions for SHM & XY’s relationship, Haochen’s birth secret, XY & her parents’ relationship and XY and SHM’s family relationship.

Chinese (and Japonese) already have plenty of food-based dramas... they don't need to be inspired by a "groundbreaking" Kdrama.
The Fires of Cooking: Hua Xiao Chu (2020) (Chef Hua); Royal Feast (2022) ... and many other historical, modern, and mini-dramas have plots in which food is central.
The dramas world isn't limited to Kdrama!
(Most likely this drama, Chang An Xiao Fan Guan/Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, finished filming earlier than "Bon Appétit, Your Majesty". Unfortunately, Cdramas go through a complicated process of obtaining a broadcast license before they premiere.)

When they do a quick search, they can’t see theough the spoiler tag and unless they go through each comment to open them up.

I unfortunately agree. For me it’s the change in tone though. It went from melodrama to 100% Romcom & doesn’t even feel like the same show anymore. The moment they dressed up as Barbie & Ken I was given a huge whiplash. It got silly out of nowhere & it just kept on getting sillier & sillier. Writing 101, don’t all of a sudden change your story’s genre.

I'd love for these delusional, narsisistic, mentally ill, entitled and dangerous male and female charcteres to get handled properly too. There's so many people in the comments alone that think Fang Lei is just an annoying woman, when she needs treatment and a restraining order, or that Lin Tao is a poor heartbroken man, when he is abusive, needs therapy and a restraining order.
