China cranks out dramas such as this one like they're cookies, but now and then it's a cookie that's wonderful. This was so much better than it had to be, and the sincerity (and chemistry!) of the actors was lovely. If you've only got the patience and appetite for one drama of this type, watch this.

I liked the leads very much, and will definitely keep a lookout for other dramas they're in.

Also thank you so much for the link to read about her style. Must. have.the.shoes.

Definitely the best drama of 2020 so far. Thank you so much for the information about the children's books in the show. I've been scouring Google to find them to buy, and it turns out they don't really exist, which I wouldn't have known until much, much more searching. Now I don't have to anymore, thanks to you!

But gosh, wouldn't it be great if we could really buy the books?

And also, has anyone else noticed how small her waist is?

Well. This is the best first episode of a kdrama I've ever seen. Secondly, there has never been a more beautiful, seductive FL in any drama, ever. Thirdly, the FL's styling is off the chain. This is not your average show. It's dark and a bit creepy, and so far I love it like mad. Stay good, show, and don't let me down.

So with you on this. I've been stuck in episode one for two weeks. Really want to like it and watch it, but jeepers.

If the remake doesn't have the equal of, or better than scene of Vaness Wu's abs where he's wearing a towel just out of the shower, why bother?

At least China hasn't remade "Autumn Concerto".
Yet.

Whatever your feelings might be about this adaptation, I hope we can all agree that the performances in episode 24 are outstanding.

Really, really good Cdrama--the kind of drama you could recommend to your non-Cdrama or Kdrama watching friends as a good example of why you do. This is the kind of drama you get when money is spent, and spent properly. Everything about this drama--the script, the acting, the directing, the costumes and make up, the CGI--it's all superb.

A 10 for me.

Boy, the theme of "transported into a [romance] novel is really getting a workout this year, isn't it?

Disliked FL lead with the fire of a 1000 suns. Is she 12, or what?

What a great article!

I love Park Joon Geum. I have never seen her in a role where I didn't hate her guts. She's fabulously quirky, too. She's always styled way over the top, as though she has more money than Midas, and absolutely zero taste. Just looking at her makes me smile.

NOBLE IDOCY!!!!

Also, let's drag the plot for 3 or 4 more episodes by having a ridiculous misunderstanding between the leads that can be cleared up by asking a question: "why did you say that? What do you mean?"

The childhood connection thing annoys the ever loving hell out of me. For a stupid long time, I was convinced that South Korea only had a few dozen people, because this explains how couples meet each other randomly, forget about it, meet each other randomly again, and then fall in love, but they can't or don't remember they've already met each other 3 times.

Is it just me, or are there an abundance of Cdramas this year whose FL's are detectives or forensic geniuses? I'm not complaining, but "Miss Truth" and "Under the Power" have FL's like this . . . and there are probably more.

Thank you for the list! I added Lie of a Lie, Dinner Mate, Sweet Munchies (doubt this will still be named like this when it airs, though), My Unfamiliar Family, Did We Love?, Flower of Evil, Stranger 2 and Love Alarm 2 to my PTW list.

So glad to be looking forward to some dramas again.

Such sad news.

A superb drama, featuring an incredible performance from Yoo Ah In. The subject matter is mature, and the age gap between the two leads (not to mention the power differential between them) makes this a bit difficult to swallow, and probably explains the inaccurate underrating. A powerful drama you'll keep thinking about after you finish it.

So glad there will be a second season of this drama. And disappointed that Netflix splits a great show into parts with huge gaps between them. (Sure, parts. Fine. But parts with a year between seasons?)
