I have watched the Japanese original, which is very good and the South Korean remake, which is also quite good.

Thank you for your comments 😊 I’m glad you liked it

In my view, Victoria is rocking this role - the first in a very long time. The chemistry is there too. As for the fight sequences, they are very, very good. The moments re her “spear sisters in law” are awesome. Joe Chen as the Princess Elder adds a whole new dynamic to the show. I like the story too. It’s worth watching eps 3 and 4 and then trying out some more.

At the halfway point I can say this: Love’s Ambition is a great show and Xu Yan deserves so much better! Hao Ming deserves the biggest slap down of all time!!! Zhao Lu Si is equaling Liu Yi Fei with her performance 🤩

An awesome start to Ms Incognito and as per her previous roles, Jeon Yeo Been is playing a blinder 🤩🤩🤩

When she asks “what do you think love is,” my thoughts go to what I think should be the next line: “what you and I have now.” This was a class show, with good acting, writing and growing relationships. Yes, it could have been longer. Another season would be possible. But, at the end of the day - one of the best shows for 2025. I only marked it down because in the middle there were some logic lapses. However, a very good watch and worth watching again.

Ep 9 got to show the bringing together of all the series threads so far: humanity as the true justice, the reality of the second couple, the appreciation the first couple for each other, the unveiling of the real plan re Yullim’s future. The next three episodes should be a cracking watch!

I thought the final episode was superb 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

It’s 9.6 on Viki. Broadly speaking, based on the differences between the two sites, it would mean it should be at least 8.6 on MDL😊

Ep 9 - a fabulous episode, so considered, so respectful, so well acted. One of the best couples ever. NKM has the Midas Touch and JYB is beyond amazing - a great expose on how to bring a character to life.

My thoughts after the first two episodes: show is watchable but not a patch on Good Partner or Witches Court or Diary of a Prosecutor.

My thoughts at the end of four episodes: it’s a nice drama. The ML is a charming dufus and the FL is radiant and enjoys stirring the ML. The second couple is great too. I think this show has come along at the right time to make up for a number of costume dramas of late that could have been very good but lost their way very quickly.

This show is the bees knees 🤩 Direction, writing and acting - superb. Not only that, we get a really good insight in to how a Korean movie is pulled together. Da Eum’s dad realising he needed to stop putting her in a box = awesome. Je Ha working so hard to protect her while being deadpan = eye emoting acting at its finest. Da Eum = simply the performance of the year. Every actor is making sure their performance counts.

Sadly, I didn’t. I dropped it after two episodes

Yes, show does seems well balanced. Each couple is now getting more air time.

Yes, it is the best since and Marry Me Now (2018) - very popular domestically and Revolutionary Sisters (2021) - not all that well liked on MDL. I think if it was going to wobble, it would have done so by now. Fingers crossed!

Ep 8 was such a good fun episode. Their antics trying to make XXZ a salesperson are entertainment gold.

Although I found the first couple of episodes up and down, the acting was superb (and continues to be). Ep 6 is a real game changer and was very enjoyable as we get to see the start of a great business partnership.

Ep 23 - what I really liked about this episode is the positive tone despite the things that go wrong and that’s due to Gwang Sook upbeat attitude, the Chairman’s support, and Min Soon’s faith in Chun Soo.

As for the Zumba couple - I have high hopes for them 😉 They are harmless.

There is some very good acting in this show, thanks to the great cast - they know how to hit the sweet spot. Show deserves the support it is receiving.

In my view, The Glory is consistently good from the beginning to the end, whereas The Double, which was fabulous in the first half then fell away.
