I'm reading the synopsis, and it's probably the 400th "reunited as adults" drama at this point. We literally get this exact kind of storyline every single year.
Korean writers genuinely have zero ideas for dramas at this point—it's getting seriously ridiculous. It's always the same damn clichés on repeat whenever it's not an office drama.
And then there's always the same setup where either the ML or the FL has become successful while the other hasn't and spends the whole time dwelling on the past. Over and over and over again.
Episode 17 was absolutely insane. This is hands down the best drama currently airing. Chen Yi and Miao Jing, I love you both. A solid 10/10, no debate.
And the soundtrack... every single song is perfect. I never would've expected Song Weilong and Zhang Jingyi to have this kind of chemistry, but they're absolutely electric together. Holy fucking shit, their chemistry is unreal. ❤️🔥
The wait for Episodes 9 and 10 is way too long. When you watch the episodes as soon as they're released, it feels like you're waiting two days for the next one.
Is it just me, or does it feel like Chinese dramas are much less filtered these days? You can actually see the actors' skin—their pores, little pimples, and even uneven makeup. The makeup in this drama isn't particularly good, either.
I also noticed what looked like two small holes in Neo Hou's ear. Is one of his ears actually pierced, or did I mistake them for moles?
Shin Ye-eun is often called one of South Korea’s most bankable actresses, but that's definitely up for debate. She might already be on her fourth or fifth flop, while playing pretty much the same type of character every time. Her success basically comes down to Revenge of Others and her villain role in The Glory. Since then, she's been on a streak of underwhelming dramas.
I've watched 4 episodes so far, and honestly, AiMi is absolutely incredible in this role. Her acting is really impressive. Hou Minghao is the perfect male lead because he has such a baby face despite his age, so he doesn't look older than her or even noticeably more mature when they're together.
Episode 1: HOLY SHIT, I screamed when I saw my boy Neo Hou. I wasn't expecting to see him again so soon, and it's such a treat—especially in a role that's so different from his usual ones.

Sometimes it's honestly hard to follow. The show jumps from 2011 to 2007 without any clear transition, so it's easy to get lost.

What do you think—will it be a success or a flop?
I'm specifically talking about its rating on MDL, since a K-drama that gets a low score there can still be a huge success elsewhere.
