A very interesting drama with a new take on the power dynamic of ML and FL. Hou Minghao is growing on me as an actor. He had 3 phenomenal dramas this year. This, for me, comes second to Love in the Cloud and his chemistry with that FL, but the story and set design just screamed big budget and worth watching.
I'm genuinely excited for Ai Mi, her first leading role! And for all of you folks worried about the age gap, Keira Knightly was 17 when she filmed Pirates of the Caribbean alongside Orlando Bloom who was 25-26 years old and that was Hollywood (apparently she had her mother with her at all the film shoots; I expect Ai Mi probably also had her mom alongside her) and I haven't heard anyone complain about that one. Cdramas tend to be less wild than Hollywood anyway, so I wouldn't write this all off as anything to be alarmed about just yet. I can see them doing it in a way where the two of them are just sweet rather than anything crazy. And Ai Mi's first leading role! I want to support her, she's such a great actress, and you know, it's acting. They can up the BGM and do slow-mo and stuff, or have Hou Ming Hao stare at a picture of Fan Bing Bing out-of-frame or someone older if he had to make eyes or something, it doesn't mean the actors are necessarily in an intimate position, though obviously it would be much better if such scenes are just excluded all together; I always felt that what they did with the Untamed, where the romance was metaphorically expressed or implied through set pieces rather than through the actor dynamics, was a trick ALL dramas should use more often, and this one seems as good as any to test it out.
I was not expecting to drop some little tears while watching episodes 26 & 27. 🥺🥺 Anyway, CEO Dan really poured his heart into writing that letter and the way it was delivered to us was top tier🥹🥹❤️
Wow. It was definitely a good drama for sure. Loved it all. These days it is very hard to find dramas like this. The actress was so good that the difference between Yi Kyung and Do Rim was so clear. The energy between the characters was so so different. Acting was very good. And Kang Ju's father was lovely.
This drama had lots of fun, lovely and stressful moments as well. Loved it a lot.
