Drat. I read most of the novel in the hype up to this drama. I was so ready to watch.

This drama. The writing is so elegant and I loved how twisty it became with each turn. I would’ve ranked this up there with Vicenzo, My Name and The Glory in terms of story and drama if it weren’t for the FL who has only one bewildered expression. I found her very wooden. I was desperate to recast her for the FL from Flower of Evil or another 40s female who had more range. I didn’t believe the romance because the chemistry was that of siblings not lovers. Gave me the ick whenever they touched. Shame for the ML who always delivers. Not even he could rescue us from her performance.

Most perfect drama. Han Ting is the dream. Dice game in ep. 22 had me kicking my feet with joy at the romantic tension. If only every cdrama romance had such an intense focus on bonding the FL and ML so believably. I want to return to last week so I could watch it for the first time all over again. 9/10.

Really? I thought it had terrific tension throughout and I love a story where the ML messes up must grovel hard win FL back. Classic marriage in trouble which we don’t see enough. It had so much character transformation. Hope the writing here is on par! 🤞🏻

According to IMDb this is same screenwriter as Love’s Ambition. I am seated.

Why is there no cast or crew listed for this drama on here? I thought it was in production already. Is it unconfirmed?

I loved it because it is the slowest of slow burns and it felt real how the leads fell in love. I’ve never seen a cdrama make it seem so earned between them. Mr AI didn’t bother me but it was unsettling. I’m glad this didn’t prevent them from releasing it. I agree that those side characters and that mother were something else. I skipped it all and watched for leads only. Adored 2fl and I think she’ll be leading a drama sometime soon. So talented.

Same for me. I will look forward to anything she writes after this one and Feud.

I’m adoring this drama for an FL who is saving everyone else but actually she is the most damaged by trauma. Having an FL who is dangerous (unhinged in places) but also vulnerable means I love watching her unravel. I’m at ep17 and it is too soon for them to be all in with each other. I think he feels grateful and he’s confusing that with love. It will be everything when he realises how hard he will need to work to break her out of her PTSD over the past. For me, Feud was immense thanks to this same screenwriter and Bai Lu. I wish I’d started it after the end so I could binge it. Waiting is torture.

I’m not getting the romantic conflict from the description. Is this a ‘marriage in trouble’ story?

Not awful but it needed better writing for the FL as her motivation for avoiding her feelings for the ML and dating the 2ml wasn’t strong enough. If she’d had a good reason why her first love was worth exploring at the expense of the ML I would have been so much more invested in seeing her give in to her real emotion. This drama felt a bit dated for 2026 in a lot of ways but worth watching for the little one and ML’s dimples.

Superior historical drama but I wished for a lot more romance. More than a single kiss (awkward hat one) would have elevated this drama to others like My Dearest, Moon Embracing the Sun, Red Sleeve etc. I would watch 100 Days My Prince first as by same writer but much more romantic.

Could anyone shared a synopsis?

Outstanding. I hope we see a lot more from her. Many thanks for responding too. Not great that they often leave the writer out of the credit list.

This is so fun. Who was the screenwriter? I want to follow them.

This is not on Disney+ or Apple TV. I’m in the UK. IMDb has it confused with an anime 🙄

It’s not but I was hoping this is MJTY season 2 in disguise.

This is SO fun! Giving me major Pride and Prejudice vibes with the hopeless mother desperate to marry them all off and the dynamic between two leads. Wonderful to see all the other pairings evolving too.

so helpful! thank you. I couldn’t find it until I saw this comment
