Huh? How is ML going to be with hana, they barely have any scenes together. I do like the thought of du ri and mr park.

That's why I pity her personality more so, it's not child's play when the enemy is throwing deadly darts and keeping her around is just asking for trouble. There is a time for mercy, but this vengeful women has no remorse. Don't care if she's related but there needs to be a line drawn eventually, everyone keeping silent isn't the answer and it frustrates me that I keep having to watch this repeat offender get away from any punishment EVER single time, it's a big plot hole.

I am not sure what FL is doing with keeping that snake of a revengeful mother in law around, she's a schemer and murderous in her ways. ML is a hopeless romantic, it seems like he's willing to stick around no matter the outcome so just hoping they he makes it out unscathed.

I noticed that too after watching her previous dramas. Her lips seem puffier and her chin looks longer, she was cuter before too.

Episode 6 was quite a fun one, notch it up with a cliffhanger. Young Mr. Park is quite a charmer with this curly hair and motorcycle stint. His one-sided crush is also cute. But her complicated relationship with Daniel is also heart fluttering. I wonder if this will end FL being with Mr Park and Daniel reunited with Emily.

Fair enough. Looks like ML will have some competition. I also hope that she ends with Park too, they are more suitable for each other mentally.

Does anyone see the bullying behavior unbearable sometimes? I get girl groups are competitive but the amount of toxicity here should be addressed, it's unforgivable. I'm not sure if its the nom but FL should not tolerate it.

Honestly Ep 5 feels like it hit a slump. Du Ri is getting annoying since she is getting into all sorts of trouble. She's suppose to be smart and wise as a 70 year old woman, thinks she can do whatever but she's too reckless, inconsiderate and bratty making her impulsive without thinking of the consequences.

IMY can is a brilliant actress, she can be two extremes of evilness exuded from her previous dramas and completely selfless as she portrayed here.

LSG was the nation's son, he was ok with singing and acting but terrible as a mentor which made me question his character IRL. Winner #3 was a random trainee that had no exposure for the entire show but magically skyrocketed to 3 says a lot about this show, I was like oh this happening again? no surprise, he's under the company that sponsored the show. To your question that trainees in it for thoughts of debuting, sure that could be the case for a few, some are regulars too but they most likely knew what was up after the first 2-3 episodes to see who the spot light is on. The finalists usually include a few deserved talents and some random ones so the company can cash out on their temporary popularity and then disband as soon as they lose steam. Those who dropped out early are VERY smart cause they save their energy and time while getting some exposure and avoid the aftermath. Those talented ones that stuck around has to watch this mess unfold. It's a mockery for the audience but it makes business sense too.

The signs were all there that this wasn't a show based on merit alone. Episode 2 was a reminder of how soul-crushing and the cruel treatment was part of becoming an idol, LSG got bashed hard and it made me change the way I thought of him. He even said that looks is a talent so him being high on Xin Che's doll-like appearance (kinda freaky imo) is not surprising. I still don't know why fans are spending $$$ over time and again knowing full well that the results are fixed and to generate controversy. All these shows are painted with the same brush. I also get the sense that not all the contestants want to debut there, some drop out too but it's just a show to get exposure so I guess it's a win-win for everyone involved except for the fans who lose.

I learned a hard lesson, never expect anything more from these survival shows. It's always the same old format. Hopeful potential candidates, more drop out near the end due to the blatant rigging and the winners are mixed with those that deserve it with random underserving contestants promoted by the company. It never bolds well with the audience and the negative criticisms that follows. I kept a non-cholent mindset coming to this one knowing full well that the results are fixed and no surprise, the amount of angry comments here is exactly what I expected no less. It would be novel if they actually fully based on merit. Guess what, the companies don't care if fans are fed up with it, they keep pulling the same crap every SINGLE time. Fans should stop paying $$$ for this, a complete waste of money.

I've watched survival shows like these before and the finale is always rigged, they always add in some random contestant so the downfall is the least surprising. I can't get upset like others since I knew it was expected no less.

So rigged and I knew it was going to happen. I kind of get why Xinche was selected even though he wasn't the most talented but that number 3 winner came out of nowhere, his company must be pushing hard for it to happen. Just look it up: Idol Youth Entertainment is a Chinese music label and entertainment agency. The company was created by iQIYI to manage its survival show project groups, the same company that sponsored/created the show. Not fair but money talks.

The storyline is getting borderline annoying ever since the husband left. FL has just a sad storyline and you can't help feel bad for her but she chose this difficult path to live like this. She has all these evil characters pinning against her, especially with the introduction of a mole with the little bro's new wife. I feel she had such a strong start building up even though she had no power but after each episode, she became lonelier and more depressing to watch, sulking after a crappy husband that abandoned her. ML is stuck in this vortex around her and I don't see getting away unscathed.

I knew from the beginning of this show that it's gonna be rigged. The fact that you had spent money on this....I highly doubt these types of show are done fairly.

I think there's rigging going on here, it's so blatantly obvious. Honestly not surprised here, I've seen other survival shows and the top players are questionable too. Companies do that all the time. The ranking numbers seem to be made-up too, I doubt that much people voted seriously.

Thank you! Works great. Love the storyline. Is the novel translations done or still ongoing?

second couple is so boring but they are given way too much screen time that I skip them each time to shorten the episodes. Even then I think it's a little draggy now. I rather see more of main lead couple interactions.

yeah me as well, never interested in saejeuks but this one popped off my interest right away, it's a captivating story with excellent acting that balances seriousness, romance and comedy.
