I have to be honest Min Hui is lucky that she had a child with Xin Qi. Although I understand her reasoning on why she didn't tell him about their child five years ago, that doesn't make her decision right. Xin Qi lost five years of Quan Quan's life that he can never get back. A lot of men would have immediately just taken this to court and sued for rights but instead, he took his lawyer's advice and tried to bond with the child before attempting anything drastic. The entire show he gets pushback from Min Hui and sometimes I'm on her side from a mother's perspective and sometimes I'm not.
In my opinion, both characters should have established balance from the start. ML shouldn't have moved into her place and instead got a court order to allow him joint custody because when the law is in place, MIn Hui wouldn't have full power (sad to say this because I'm usually always team mother but five years is a lot).
Regardless of whether it is a new wuxia type of story or not. Having a weak ML in an action-packed drama is just…
Question. Why is it okay for a FL to be weak in a wuxia drama but it's wrong for a man? Not even saying he's weak because being strong doesn't just equate to being able to fight. The ML is intelligent, cunning, and resourceful. He doesn't have to fight because he has made it so that he always has people fighting for him.
I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. The leads had great chemistry but the overall plot/storyline just really sucked especially with the later half of the story. I also really hated the friend. She was super annoying and creepy when it came to her LI (who quits their job and works at a convenience store to stalk a man that they just saw for the first time? Not even talked just saw) if I could go back in time I'd skip every single scene she was in.
I love how thoughtful she is when she chooses a role for a drama. You can tell she doesn't just accept any kind of role. The script has to be good enough for her to except. I respect that.
I see she doesn't have many dramas lined up (and she's supporting lead in them). That's good. She can use this time to get an acting coach to improve her acting.
I'm only on ep 7. Does anyone else notice that Du Lei and his sister seem to have a kinda weird relationship?…
I just watched that episode as well. I don't think they're bio siblings because she also said that there dad treats him like his real son implying that's not his bio dad
You're so right! That also really annoyed me because he basically wouldn't even be into her if she wasn't his childhood crush. The story would have actually been better if he had fallen in love with her organically without knowing she was his crush until the last episode. The second couple was the only reason I finished the drama tbh.
This drama was overly saturated with fluff and cuteness (not in a good way). Everything just felt too contrived. The childhood crush he had on her (all the way to adulthood). The fact that he consistently went to the tree year after year waiting for her to come back was honestly so ridiculous and eye-roll-worthy that their relationship at times just felt so forced. The main leads had great chemistry. I can't take that away from them but removing the childhood plot and making it a normal doctor and lawyer falling in love without history would have done wonders.
In my opinion, the second couple was a lot more entertaining and fun to watch. I wouldn't have minded if the whole show was centered around them. They're the reason I rated the drama an 8.5, and if I rewatch it'd just be their scenes.

On a positive note, the OST is top tier.
