The Ost for this drama is brilliant. It's one of those soundtracks that i will post in the Soundtrack Lovers Club if the songs are still playing in my head during the week. Nice story. Characters totally unexpected and often they do not have likable personalties. I was hoping for a happy family end for Xu Nian and his father but oh well. I thought the drama shouldve had a deeper massege here about learning from mistakes and learning to be a better person (Guan Qian Ya & Xu Guang Han) or valuing your home and family. In the real world we just have to be ok with people not being how and what we want them to be.
Came back to check on the comments section of this drama affter watching Whats wrong with secretary kim. That is a hot kissing scene. Not disappointed. The comments are still just as funny, a year later with some viewers outraged at the whole plot while others just love it! That's how you know it is a good drama! 🤣😂🥰💕
Jeremy was totally the better choice, here. Cute, Fun,.Supportive. Tae Kyung and Shin woo personalties were too intense. I'm sick of Park Shin Hye crying! 😅 The writers dragged the whole taking her brothers place too long to the very end. By the 12th episode i was like enough already! Gees oh peas! Too much crying and overbearing male leads. Shin woo was probably also a good choice because he was at least romantic and handsome. Just when I think I can like the ML, especially with the piggy bunny, he's just too self centered. The Ost has a early 2000's vibe that makes me feel nostalgic. So i will listen to it while thinking how this drama could've been written better. The drama is too long for Ko Mi Nyeo to take Ko Mi Nam place.She was crying and miserable too much. I wouldve accepted 8 episodes of her dressed as the brother and 8 episodes of her dressed as the girl finding happiness. It was an Ok drama to watch if you simply dont care about the characters. I wanted better for these characters. The problem is not due to the era that it was written because Coffee Prince 2007 and Nail Shop Paris 2013 exist.
I absolutely love this couple. The OST is also nice. Neither ML nor FL seem to be aware when someone is crushing on them and have bad intentions for their relationship with their significant other. Like the SML is not a saint. He is still looking for any opportunity to confess while bad mouthing her boyfriend and calling him "controlling", just because Gu Nan Zhou does not want his girlfriend around a guy who is trying to confess to her. "Friends" my left foot. He is not so dense nor innocent. The executive creepy lady who drinks from Gu Nan Zhou's water bottle when he's not looking (gross) is constantly bad mouthing Zhou Jian Qing and giving misinformation. She shouldve gotten fired long ago after the formal award party when she gave Zhou Jian Qing the wrong information to pretended to be his fiancee. That lady is creepy creepy.
The personalty of ML vice president Lee is not for everyone. It looks like he is posturing to hide deep insecurity from years of emotional neglect. That's just the way I see it. Other than that, he's a sweetheart to Kim Mi-so. They are a beautiful couple. 💕 Makes me feel lovelorn and sad for my life. So, I dont view it as a feel good drama even though it's a good drama. That's the only problem that I had with this drama. I really wanted to comment: "No Comments" and move on but Oh wait! In episode 12 They are watching the KDrama "Another Miss Oh" The end of Episode 9 Song "Like A Dream" by BEN I have offically watched enough Kdramas, that I can now recognize characters and scenes in television props. Kdrama Level-up I guess. 🫰😉✌️
I know this drama is intriguing and a well written story by how much analysis I have given it and talked about it, examining the relationships from a psychological perspective. I rarely see these conditions written so well. There's obession, vacarious, transference and codependency depicted in the least harmful forms almost for the survival of the characters but there is a much dangerous psychological condition lurking among them. Self hate. The devastation that these self hating men cause to their communties and those closes to them, I felt, hit personal. Seen often from expatriate and immigrants living in western cultures. The self hating conditions is not seriously, psychologically addressed enough nor shunned enough so that the condition and the harm it cause can be decreased. Ultimately i was not totally comfortable that the character still dated and married a Korean despite the maliciousness of their self hate. What pulls the whole story together is the AI developed for medical purpose of psychology issues due to loss and grief. Its a beautifully written story, you could find yourself thinking about for a long time but not understanding why.
Maybe she never really looked at him romantically for 10 years because of his hair cut. I am sure that would be a real life possibility if the story happened in real life.. Even the audience have to get to know Lu Xun to really get comfortable with him as the ML. His dedicated love for Qian Wei is endearing. The drama is too long...I think but we really get to know the characters and see even the most mudane parts of their lives. I guess overall it was not too bad. It wasnt annoyingly too long. The not so interesting scenes were good back ground noise and it's a pleasant drama to return to after reading unplesant news articles. Very homey. 😍💕 Its cute that the writers tried to throw in some suspense and action at the end.
The princess is so brave. I just adored her. I had to watch a couple of episodes before i no longer viewed the ML as a complete scoundrel. I think the writers forgot they were writing a legal drama. The ML takes the role of a attorney, forensic examiner, detective and royal advisor. Confusing but entertaining. The excellent story as it unfolds made it easy to forget the laspse in consistency until the title of the next episode.
Episode 15 When God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven, we will all be immortal. So we have a long wait, folks.

After I saw the sorrow of this woman who ran until she died in order to save this child, I became curious and I wish to hear the answers."
Me: "Well, my curious Acorn Monk, this is the answer that I know.":
People hate because they lack knowledge and cowardly teach others to lack knowledge so that others will also hate what they do not understand.
This is why education, learning and knowledge is important. 😉👌
Notice that I didn't say the old cliche "people hate what they do not understand", which simplify something that really should never be simplified because hate destroys people's lives, no matter if it's the hater or the hated. To the hater, the other person has "did" something to them, wether it is real or fabricated and they do not know why.
Did you know people can hate another for simply existing? I know, crazy right?
The hater just dont understand why that other person has to exist. They hate the other person for not being what they want or not givng them what they want and refuse to accept that the person will not give them what they want or be what they want.
People forgive because they forget. If we did not forget, the pain would be too great to bare but our DNA continues to carry the pain that we have forgotten so we will always feel that pain in similar situations.

To those people who are wondering whether to watch this drama or not. READ THIS!I'm not going to convince you…
This post is very insightful and throughly thought out. I enjoyed reading it. I think a nice part of kdrama fandom is that people express themself in a lot of different ways. If we didnt have the critics and even haters, I dont think I would get a good chuckle of amusement as often as I get the warm hearted feelings that comes from posts like yours. I'm also grateful for those annoying post that overly use the word "toxic". There are lots of different people and characters in the world and their stories. Thank you for sharing how Kdramas have changed over the years and understanding that people can chose to adapt or not. I also liked this drama for so many reasons. The music The romance The super natural The friends & family and crazy Bae! 🤣

Born in the year of the pig, I'm just happy to be here.
