I don’t think it was refreshing. it was a very dull, frustrating, and boring episode. She kept talking about wanting to break up. The only thing even worthwhile in this episode was the very end when he realized what she had to endure from his mom. This made him fall for her even more but I don’t think This was enough to consider this a good episode.

Those blank stares are unmoving. It’s just not convincing enough.

I don’t if it’s the acting or the characters but when I watch the leads on screen, I don’t see and feel that they’re in love. They say it with words but their actions aren’t convincing at all. Maybe it’s the lack of chemistry..I don’t know.

I have to agree with you. She and her entire team’s wardrobe is not high fashion at all. One look at them and you couldn’t even tell they’re in the fashion industry. Her team dress more like school teachers! Lol

That’s how I feel too after watching episode 11

Episode 12…….
You deserve better Deok Im! the life of a concubine is not what you wanted. Yi San is eating his words now…he who said he’ll never take a court lady as a concubine.

Mu Wanqing is my favorite all time FL character. She’s very smart, level headed, and instinctive. I’m so done with annoying immature female leads who speaks in a childish tone.

I feel the same way. I love everything else about the drama but was a little disappointed with the rushed ending. They could have cut at least a few minutes if gunfire in exchange for some fluff at the end.

EPISODE 10
Wow, I just need to express my disappointment with the FL! She is really undeserving of the ML. I get that she has no control over what comes out of her mothers mouth but she could have done more to stand up for her boyfriend and her relationship with him. And to top it off, she left with her mother after all the horrible things her mother said to her boyfriend.
When it was the other way around and his mother spoke terrible things to her and she left, he left with her. He didn’t stay with his mother and let her leave alone. He wasn’t even there to hear what was said but knowing it was enough for her to leave, he left with her. She, on the other hand, was there and heard all the hurtful things her mother said and she still left him. I’m sure her mother had her reasons to say these hurtful things to end their relationship and protect her daughter but I’m just so disappointed in the FL. She doesn’t deserve the ML.

I felt like she should have stood up for her boyfriend more when the mom was saying all those horrible things. Then she left with her mom too! When his mom said hurtful things to her and she left, he didn’t stay behind with his mom and let her leave on her own. He clearly made it known that he chose her.

I’m not a fan of this drama either. Such a big disappointment. I had to force myself to finish it since I had already invested too much time into it.

I have a very unpopular opinion here…although I’m enjoying this drama, I’m not feeling the relationship between Shifu and Haishi and would like her to end up with someone else instead. There is a HUGE ick factor for me. Although she’s grown up and a woman now, she was a young girl when she met Shifu. She went through a very traumatic event losing her father and almost her life. She was saved by Shifu and became his disciple. I’m sure she looked up to him not only as her master but also a father figure. She grew up and her feelings for him developed and evolved but I still can’t get over the fact that she was a young girl when she met him. Shifu, Haishi and Zhuaying are like a “family” so Shifu and Haishi together just doesn’t sit well with me.

Not sure where this story is going but I’ll stick around for the ride. It’s yet to be determined whether I like this drama or not.

Ikr? He deserves a taste of his own medicine.

Can someone tell me what the relationship is between Yoon Jae Gook and Shin Yoo Joeng, the director of the department store? Is she a close family friend?

He must have been conflicted since finding out she was his brothers love but by that time, he had already fallen for her. Its obvious he admired and loved his older brother so I can’t imagine how he must have felt. Guilt? Betrayal? It must have been a difficult choice to follow his heart and pursue her.

I think people forget that the ML is only human and not perfect. The fact that he isn’t perfect and has selfish desires makes him all the more real. Yes, the right thing should have been to tell her that her ex was his brother and who died. However, he has fallen so hard for her since meeting her. She intrigues him and he can see that she’s been hurt in the past and has no faith in love or men. He wants to break down her walls and love her the way she deserves to be loved. She is so guarded towards him and hides her true feelings but she can’t deny the attraction she feels towards him.
I love his persistence and goes after what he wants. If he remains this way throughout the drama, he’ll surely break down her walls and love her like no one else can.

So am I! If at the end of each episode it keeps you wanting more, then they’ve succeeded. I’m loving it so far.

I also think the first episode was choppy. They tried to portray a fast-paced fashion industry but the transition between the scenes was executed poorly. It was a little confusing at times.

I completely agree with your assessment. I get they are trying to portray a career driven, no nonsense type of woman but I was so put off by how cold she was. After everything he does for her, she acts so indifferent towards him. Not to mention, he barely met her and he’s done so much for her already. She can show a bit more appreciation towards him. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the episode and looking forward to more.
