I may give it up too, but anyway, in my opinion the two leads deserve each other and I don't quite mean that kindly.

JKatt778: I'm wondering if stupidity is supposed to be the point of the drama. Both the ML and the husband are also incredibly stupid - as is the 2FL, but she doesn't count because her stupidity follows the usual trope and is of a different kind.

I wonder, too, whether the writers intended it to be a clever or insightful poke at human folly but lacked the writing intelligence to execute it.

Congratulations to the translator who wrongly translated 'accessary' as 'accessory' in episode 19. I would not usually point out spelling mistakes - MDL abounds with them - but the incorrect rendition here was hilarious and, depending on one's point of view, very apt.

That comment by the emperor made me wonder whether he knew that the ML is the real crown prince and should be emperor - and wants to protect him - but I could be wrong on both counts.

@Virginia: Some of these people are collating 'minor' with 'age of consent'. In the UK one is not an adult until one is 18 - at which time one can marry - but minors can have sex at 16. A citizen of one country cannot say that something is wrong (illegal) in another country - however immoral or distasteful it seems. In China the age of consent is 14 - but laws about using minors in the filming industry are in place to protect them. But they also forget that throughout history many girls were married at a very young age to much older men. So if it is offensive to see a male character / actor paired with a female actress / character, with a ten year age difference they should not watch the drama.

Really? Do you actually believe your own uninformed rhetoric or do you get off on manipulating those not capable of independant thought?

Wow! All this happens in 13 minutes does it? Not worth the effort - The synopsis covered it all!

Thanks for your reply. The initial comments made it seem like a bad drama but since then comments have been positive.

I don't specifically look for angst in a drama (that would not be healthy) but I don't run away from it, either! Thank you.

If it it is funny (not stupid slapstick, though) I might have a look at it. Thanks.

Is it? I won't bother then. I have too many other dramas to catch up on. Thank you for replying.

Thanks very much.

I read the long reviews and many of the comments here but have found nothing about his 'blindness' as mentioned in the SYNOPSIS. Is he going blind or does he become blind by the end of the drama?

I don't know about this particuilar drama because I haven't watched it, but I find that Bilibili or Dailymotion (depending on both the uploader and the particular episode) can more often than not have better subs than IQIYI, which is where I go if a drama is not on Viki.

No worries — I don't believe that you really think that she is stupid but that you found her choices frustrating to watch. (And I did not for one minute think that you disliked her - quite the opposite. You are feeling responsible for her on some level but you need to detach yourself.) This is just a drama, after all.) I just wanted to highlight that her motivation comes from her own work ethic/ self respect and desire for professional approbation, not from loyalty to either company.

Liyaa: So, if someone has a strong work ethic, they are stupid are they? Your perspective seems a little skewed. If one has a bad work ethic, it serves only to reflect badly on oneself. And, given that she 'forced' the VC of the other firm to apologise at the press conference - albeit with some unexpected help from the ML - shows drive, determination, and ingenuity. Basically, she got her way. If you want to call that stupid, well...

Good idea!

On what do you base this assumption? I do hope that it is more than an expectation of the usual trope.

Ah. I need to watch the first few episodes again to know that. If I am guilty of one thing - it is not paying attention to certain things in the early episodes and regretting it later. If you are still interested by then (but you won't be because you'll have moved on to a new drama and will be asking questions about THAT one) I'll let you know. :)

I agree with your comments and your thinking is very healthy. However, I meant that you shouldn’t say ‘please’ in this situation. It softens an argument that is already persuasive and would sound more confident without it — in the same way that repeatedly apologising for things that aren’t one's fault can make someone appear unnecessarily SUBMISSIVE. You do not have to say 'please' (here) to appear non-agressive. There are many aggressive people on MDL - and you are definitely not one of them.
