I can’t stop staring either! I’ve seen her in modern dramas where she’s cute, but she is an absolute beauty in a period drama like this!

Don’t mean to hate, but I wish Ju Jing Yi would take note of the make up and see that you don’t have to have tik tok make up in a period drama to stand out!

Recently all ML are these one dimensional green flags, cook, clean, get treated badly but pine and wait for years for the FL. It is a very one dimensional naive female fantasy.

The FL is always so selfish I can never see why the MLs care that much.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one! I love her! I find her very natural, and easy to watch. She doesn’t try to be cute, or seem self-conscious or vain like some of the c-drama stars.

I disliked that she got a lot of criticism for her role in Fireworks of my heart - her character was written like that! She was meant to be meek and kind of pathetic. She was really convincing! Then I saw her in Are you the one and I loved her there too. She was confident and her mannerisms weren’t affected. She also was very natural in romance scenes, not behaving like a naive 17 year old - or awkward like her costar gives her the creeps!

I watch mainly cdrama and she was a standout from Fomh. I will always watch her dramas now.

I thought I recognised him! He’s had a glow up, haha

Uuurrrgghhh, just watched the trailers. Why the unnecessary angst and ridiculous dramatics? It’s really really off putting. Haven’t they learnt from Hidden Love that they don’t need any kidnappings or CEO ex-boyfriends to make a great romcom? I could just watch ML and FL flirt for 20 episodes. Watching them suffer in contrived situations is making me ff a lot of it.

I can’t get over Are you the one. On my 50th rewatch, haha.

I sympathise with Sheng Yi. I feel like everyone else is looking at her through a modern day lens. Ignoring the fact l that Mu Dan can only behave like a modern female character because she has rid herself, through luck and determination, of marriage, while also having the skills to support herself and the backing of a powerful person.

Sheng yi relies on mu dan. How is that so different from relying on a husband? She is not business minded. It is risky putting her life in mu Dan’s hands. Mu Dan could die and she’d be destitute. At least with a husband she would inherit his wealth and be a part of his family.

Also, she wants a family. That is not unlike most people now. But a good marriage is not available to her. In real life it would be very unlikely for Mu Dan too. It’s incredibly convenient for the plot that ML only has a helpful aunt, otherwise his family would definitely protest. Shengyi is old, divorced and possibly infertile. She is not a good option on the marriage market. The fact she is going back to her husband shows her lack of choice.

Also, there’s a lot of victim blaming. Abusers can be incredibly charming. That’s how domestic abuse goes on for so long.

My conclusion is Sheng Yi is not an idiot. She’s a woman with few choices, none of them great.

I am so happy to see her with Li Xian again. He’s such a charismatic actor who can hold his own against great actresses. I loved Go Go Squid, but I didn’t always love how immature she was, and how grouchy he was. It’s great to see them with a new dynamic.

He is a super saiyan. Remember he fought 3 bodyguards at once before? Also, do not question how, once they’ve found her and driven for a while, the kidnapper still manages to catch them on foot.

Hot mess, but our main leads are so great that I forgive it.

Tell us!! I heard it is about the car accident.

I am just commenting that HHJ’s hair looks great after having been kidnapped and not having had a shower for a few days. My hair would be messy and hella greasy.

Ikr?! They even added in ‘the steak!’. As if it its realistic that he’d care if their steak is overcooked.

I think you’re mistaken. The scene you’re thinking of is when the secretary to ML’s dad leaks the real identity of the real BSE to Heejoo.

He says that the BSE had heterochromia (different coloured eyes) and after surgery they managed to fix it.

But what is happening, is that he is telling Heejoo cryptically that the real BSE has heterochromia, and at some point he was replaced by the current BSE who doesn’t. You can’t fix eye colours.

I just saw the release clips of ep11. There’s a redemption arc for Hee joo’s mum who realises she loves her. I hope they don’t go the full hog and make her suddenly a great mother and Heejoo accepts her. I hate that they do that in dramas. As if you can just forgive and forget years of abuse.

It especially grated in Love Next Door when the ML’s parents had neglected their son for 20 years, dumping him with the neighbours and not attending any of his school events. But then skip the end and the parents were so in love and they were suddenly a happy family again.

If my parents neglected me when I was a child and most in need of protection, that’s a criminal matter!

Oh yeah. How useless were the goons that the father hired to catch the real Saeon? And Park DJ hits real Saeon with a metal baseball bat and nothing happens.

Real Saeon is invincible, super saiyan level.

What a waste of my emotions

I love this drama but…. After Do Jae got stabbed, couldn’t Heejoo have phoned ambulance on speaker and then stopped the bleeding while Sa-eon chased the psychopath?

Yeah, that didn’t work for me either. He obviously loved his son, so it doesn’t make sense he’d make a deal with Park Jang-Ho just because his grandson was dead too. But… I will gloss over it in my head. I am too obsessed with the main couple to be too critical. Haha

I got the feeling Saeon’s dad is adopted too. The dialogue in the scene is

‘Neither you nor him take after Paul Jang-ho.’ And he says
‘Why are you bringing that up now?’

Why would he respond like that? It’s a bit odd.
