Episode 14 I went from HOLY FUCK! to pissing myself laughing when he apologised for disturbing Madam Wang 🤣

We've all been there 🤣

The first 5 episodes were garbage and derserved a low rating. However, if you're talking about people rating low the instant they could, without having actually had time to watch the episodes, I agree that is shady behaviour, and I don't know why people bother doing it.

Agree. Dramas that omce seemed great have lost some of their charm due to the same plots beimg copied over and over and over.

How much less could you care? A lot, or a little?

A twist is something unexpected. Nothing unexpected happens in this drama. As you have said in other comments, it is just tropes.

I think you mean doomed.

I am much better at drawing than painting, so even though my efforts look like garbage, I really enjoy watercolour. Whem I was at school we only used oil and acrylic, which I find tend to bind me into the tightness I lean to in pencil drawing. Watercolour forces me to loosen up somewhat, and helps me get out of the super tight rut my brain feels trapped in.

What medium do you prefer when painting?

Ep 12 when she was so honest with him - CRYING! 😭 My brave baby girl!!!!

I've only watched 11 episodes, but fuck moi these two are adorable together. I'm 48 years old and they have me kicking my feet and screaming and crying a bit 🤣

I'm only up to ep 11, but really enjoying it. When FL is in distress, they actually make her snotty and messy, unlike other dramas where she's undergoing some life threatening situation and has one hair out of place and cries one beautiful tear runnimg down her perfectly made up face. The leads are strong and smart, but not perfect. They don't nail every situation. They are also SO stinking cute together.

I haven't read the novel, but you're 100% correct about how adaptations work

Same. I've been taking screenshots for this exact purpose

Why do you think people rating this drama low are 'haters'? Have you never disliked something?

So nowhere

Why not? WHY? There's actually good stuff out there to watch. It would be interesting if you updated your watch list to show what you've seen besides this drama. I wonder if we might actually agree on something. What's your favourite cdrama of all time?

Yes, you're agreeing with me that this is what terrible no-budget dramas do

I agree that there's no such thing as a perfect movie or drama, but if you don't watch anything critically, it means everything is on the same level, which is an insult to artists who produce good work

I've also seen worse dramas. That doesn't make this good. It also doesn't mean it had any plot twists (because it did not).

It's a hit drama? Where are the ratings high?
