Kudos to SK for churning out dramas around these themes, yes the execution may seem like fantasy (not to me of course, it's right up my alley!) but am always thinking if even just one person was reformed thanks to seeing such programs and realizing the error of their ways then we can't ask for more really.
Now closer to home, am watching this as someone who studied in Kenya and is actually half Kenyan and recently the news have all been about the students who set a dorm building on fire, killing a good number of fellow students. The big debate is whether they should be tried as children or adults, keeping in mind the gravity of the crime they have committed. Personally, I got my answer as early as ep 1 if am not mistaken, it was a sentence along the lines of thugs will be tried as adults because, well, they are committing adult like crimes!
Even closer to home, I was in boarding school and I remember one year for about two terms (read semesters), I was bullied by most if not all the girls in my class, wasn't so much physical but man it was brutal and I still get triggered when I watch such stuff. Of course we ended up being on good terms again and now I can't even remember what really started it all, I think it was just stupid immature stuff but whenever I remember that particular period of my life it still hurts. Then some idiot had the audacity to comment when I opened up to them about it much much later in my adulthood, "I don't understand people who keep quiet when they are bullied". Insensitive idiot! (My ex btw who went to the same school as me ha ha!) Anyways am glad i could say that out loud, kinda therapeutic to be honest. Thanks to whoever reads and empathises
It's funny the first few episodes i couldnt wait to watch WY and GR dates cuz it was just so heart fluttering! But now i literally just skip all his dates! Am sorry WY I am just not that into you anymore ๐คฃ๐ ๐ (I sincerely hope GR falls in love with SW enough to one day say these words!) All dates were cute in my opinion, i mean all 3 dates that i watched cuz i have no clue what happened with loverboy this episode๐คทโโ๏ธ๐๐
Gyuri ah! Seo Won is a keeper forget about Wu Yeol abeeggg! Both extremely handsome but only one has substance in my eyes. Wu Yeol is a pretty boy player through and through, he uses his looks and charm so effectively, even Stevie Wonder could see it! This unni has lived 10+ years longer than you have, listen to me jebal! ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
We love karma around here don't we?! ๐๐ Payback phase one for Guyan and handbag demon & hubby DONE! For Mr Fan too but he wasn't as bad so he gets a litttle pass . Awaiting phase 2, final 2 eps am so ready for you! *** is the 11 yrs older gf the grey haired lady?! My goodness ๐ ๐๐คฃ๐
I mix the names of the shows cuz ive watched so many chinese dating shows but there's some that stand out (long…
Yeah i remember pan and lion, that first time meet her upstairs and he downstairs (or was it the other way round?) Now that was legendary ๐ I do hope they are still together

I believe my wording was she rejected him cuz if she hadn't I don't think he would have fallen for yang jie. So the fact that the girl made it clear in all but direct words that she was interested in someone else then add to that yang jie firmly choosing him of course he'd be swayed and end up falling for her. I know she couldn't control her feelings and liked the other guy but I was secretly happy they didn't even last! Hou ge was a real one, she missed out silly girl ๐ Thanks for looking up the shows ๐
Yeah, this is why Heart Signal China remains superior.
I mix the names of the shows cuz ive watched so many chinese dating shows but there's some that stand out (long post alert cuz i've really been wanting to discuss this with somebody, anybody ๐) 1) the uni footballer (someone ge) and the girl (yang jie i think) their story was just awws! He got rejected by the girl he was really chasing, this jie chose him, firmly chose him might i add, and it was smooth sailing from there. 2) William and his 3 friends (what program was that?!) They all got the girl but William was such a disappointment all that intensity then they break up soon after ugh! But the process was cute cute cute and made it such a nice watch. (Actually was this same program as 1)? I think so!) 3) aah my utmost favorite! That program about participants over 30 whereby every season there's people with kids some divorced just real people one can identify with, plus they dont focus so much on looks. S1 was the bestest! The guy who had zero interest in the girl she even came to ask him on a date since nobody asked her, he of course refused her but man oh man next date when they got paired up and she showed up all dolled up the guy just fell head over heels! She even had one more guy chasing her! From no love interest to 2 love interests! Love love love their story. Both had kids and were divorced. Still together i believe/hope! I forget others but bonus one which isnt chinese but korean it's that exchange one where the girl was so hung up on her ex but he wasn't having none of it then swoosh the new guy comes what a couple of days before the finale and aggresively pursues her and teaches her to love and be loved all over again! He's a dongsaeng but a fierce go getter dongsaeng who picked her the moment he arrived and stuck with his choice. I love their love, wonder if they are still together?! Anyhoo i doubt abybody can pinpoint who or what show am referring to but yeah just wanted to share mostly chinese shows romances that really just made me go awwsss! And to conclude, yes chinese shows are much better for me...bad subs and all i just put 2+2 and figure out what's going on for myself ๐
I know there's business and personal life but there aint no way am still calling someone my best friend when they are busy best friending the person giving me the most grief right now...and being unfair about it to boot. Naaah to hell with that kinda friendship! To each their own I suppose ๐คทโโ๏ธ
can the writer somehow kill the Mistress so i dont have to keep watching her scenes? her story is plain boring.
I tell you! Instead they are busy trying to romaticize them 2's affair! Same way I see royal sympathizers romanticizing THAT cheating royal couple ๐คข๐คฎ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
I feel sorry for her with regard to her relationship with her ridiculous mother. Don't know how far along you…
Am up to date, the thing with her mother is a separate issue for me. Like someone commented she's becoming exactly the kind of woman she herself and her mother hate. Ironic much?!
I know K-dramas come in all shapes and sizes but this kinda storyline never gets old! This for me is the definition of an original k-drama...rags to riches (or in this case riches to even more riches ๐ ). My first ever k-drama was Full House almost 20 years ago (yikes!) And that just set the tone for me. So east or west, thriller or drama, I always come back to my cinderella type romcoms. Only the ones done right of course, cuz some can be downright horrendous ๐ Only 4 more episodes left ANDWAEEEEEE ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
And that's just the watered down version of them ๐คฃ๐
Much worse! The novel is much more exaggerated, some things are downright silly/Cinderella ish so it's a good thing the adaptation didn't follow it to the letter.
