Hi Dedra70, I plan to watch this drama, Kindly give me spoiler regarding 1. When is the main couple officially…
The point of the show is how people can create and grow love when they're very busy trying to make a living, so it takes a while after the leads meet to become an official couple, but really, that's what the whole show is about. There is no break up, no love triangles, and the annoying exes are a very small part of the show.
This is not a youth drama, and it isn't cute and fluffy. The leads are mature, and both characters are in very demanding professions.
This is quite good, and an example of a Cdrama done right. It's realistic without being grim or gritty. The leads have chemistry, which grows over time, as does your appreciation for the story and pace of the show. In its own way, the show is uplifting.
I don't know yet what this version is like, but isn't there something fantastic about a drama that's been imported into so many countries and languages from a version that originated in a different hemisphere? And each country makes it their own. So cool.
So I'm watching this for the[Xth] time. This will probably be the last time. I dislike the FL's character more every time I watch. This time, I was truly, truly annoyed at her spinelessness, combined with her noble idiocy. Out of her misguided sense of not hurting the people she cares about, she hurts them worse, and also hurts everyone in the vicinity. I get it that she's not exactly a Rhodes scholar (especially compared to the ML, who goes from not being able to tie his shoelaces to undefeated lawyer in 5 years--literally.) but this is a person who shouldn't be trusted to decide what to have for dinner.
It's a good drama, but you need to have a high tolerance for unlikely coincidences, noble idiocy, and a FL who makes very bad choices and then tries to lessen the damage she causes with big eyes swimming in tears and the single word "sorry."
When a show can generate this much comment traffic and hate-watching, it has to be considered a success, even if you absolutely despise the plot tangents and the dissipation of the characters. From that standpoint, it's everything the network could possibly want, since what they care about is viewership and eyeballs. They don't really care whether viewers like the drama. (The writer might care that viewers want to pelt him with rotten fruit, but not if the show is making him enough money and giving him name recognition.)
That's all fair, I guess.
But for myself and the 44 hours of my time I've invested in the drama, I'm pretty disgusted that the show I was so excited to watch every week because it started out so great has become an annoying and frustrating piece of mediocrity. I'm going to punish the writer for this by never watching anything written by them again, and by linking anything they write in the future to this absolute floating turd of a drama. There have to be consequences when you treat your audience this disrespectfully.
Honestly as a final ep it was like a filler episode. I like all the characters now I really felt the disappointment…
I agree completely.
I liked the show, but it was missing something. It was not tight enough to be one kind of thing, and not loose enough to be the other. The strength of the drama was obviously showcasing an envious mother-daughter relationship (who wouldn't want a relationship like this with a parent?), but outside of their dynamic, there is not really enough to paste the show together.
Also, the final episode was dumb, and I hate that.
Superb performance by Aff. Really astonished by how effortlessly she moved between icy composure and furious rage. The plot and story are quite straightforward--starting out as a typical tale of revenge before it becomes something more complex. Although you can guess what happened and what's coming, the show never stops being interesting. Not really a drama you want to watch more than once (it's too intense and nail bitey for that), but you'll be glad to have seen it once.
Lakorns are always lakorns, but this one (out of Anne's studio) is a showcase of lakorns when they're at their best.
I have my finger hovering over the play button to start the drama. I'm hesitating because I think I've read that there will be a 2nd season and that that season won't start for months, possibly up to a year.
Could season 1 be considered complete if I can't watch season 2, or would it be better to wait so that both seasons can be watched at the same time?
There were quite a few good kisses in this, and Lee Junho is always a pleasure to watch and listen to, but otherwise--show is very bland, and there was so much blatant PPL, it was liking watching an extended Christmas Lotte ad.
The single question I have at the moment is, how does Vin Zhang--whose face is easily as recognizable as Yang Yang's, not show up until way far down in the cast credits here at MDL?

Anyone else have thoughts about this?
