The first episode was not amazing but was interesting, although I could already feel something was off about the writing, but the rest of the drama is a complete train wreck.

The plot is full of things that make no sense, the characters behaviour also makes little to no sense most of the time, the whole thing just feels like a bad soap opera.

At this point I am watching just for the sake of finishing it and finding out the new dumb plot device they will throw in next.

The premise was interesting but whoever handled this had no idea what to do with it so it became this mess.

Thank you. I can see you uploaded up until ep 19 recently. Let me know once you have uploaded the rest of the episodes. This drama has been gathering dust on my on-hold list since I first joined MyDramalist back in 2017. ^^'

It is a drama that does not take itself too seriously, almost like a parody, but without having the cheap plotless script and acting that can be seen in dramas that I have watched in the past and that attempted to do the same.

I could have done with less poop jokes, but at the end of the day I enjoyed the ride and that is all that matters. Isn’t that the purpose of dramas, to entertain us?

Of course it won‘t be everyone’s cup of tea. I know I myself usually do not like this sort of drama, but the story was funny without being vulgar, had a nice pace and an actual plot with a beggining, middle and ending and the acting was better than most low budget dramas.

P.S. - There are also a lot of good kisses, I know for some people that matters a lot. XD

Maybe it was just me but I had a hard time keeping my interest in this drama. Although I loved the romantic scenes and liked both leads (both the characters and the actors playing them), I felt that the plot was ... plotless?

You would expect that since the female lead is a pediatrician you would see more of her working as a doctor....you know, with kids?? but instead most of the time she was just the typical "CEO assistant/secretary" for the sake of developing their romantic relationship. The hospital was more of a scenario for their workplace romance rather than an actual hospital. And the same thing happened with the second couple with all those scenes at the coffee shop that, to be honest, I mostly skipped.

I had just finished watching Flight to You when I started this drama and the feeling I have now is that I wish I could merge these 2 dramas into one.

While I liked how Flight to You focused on their work and did not make the characters pilots and flight attendants just because these are desirable professions with nice uniforms, I wish we had more of the main couple and that they had gotten together sooner. With this drama I had all that was lacking from Flight to You in terms of romance but when it came to portraying the characters in their workplace and their routine, this one felt a lot more staged and convenient and less realistic.

So for me the higlight was the romance and the getting along well with the in-laws and some funny scenes here and there, but in terms of plot, I would not re-watch this drama.

I love cats. I currently have 5 cats and there was a point I was even taking care of 11 with all the newborn kittens that were later adopted. BUT even my love for cats was unable to keep me interested.

The plot was boring, the main leads had no chemistry and whoever wrote the plot did not do enough research on cats. Maybe I would have liked it even a little bit if I had watched it as it was airing but I tried to binge-watch it and it felt like a chore so I ended up skipping to the last episode just to get it over with.

If you only have 4-5 eps to go from all 20, I say push through it. If this was not a remake and an original plot I would have also finished it because I hate to drop a drama and not knowing how a story ends.

Have a nice day! ^^

By the cast I meant the actors, not the characters they are portraying or how successful they were in portraying them. There are some good actors here but when the plot and characters are not well-written, they can’t really do much about it.
But I agree with your observations.

Thank you. I might do just that so it is easier to find. Glad it was helpful. ^^

Yup. Bland is the perfect word to describe it. Great cast, bland plot.

I really enjoyed this one. It has some flaws, but it was overall a good drama. It helps that I have a particular interest in airplanes and have binge-watched most seasons of Mayday (aka Air Crash Investigation).

Some of the things I liked:
- They actually show them working and the pilot/flight attendant plot is not only so they can dress the main characters in nice uniforms like I have seen in most dramas that portray these professions;
- The female lead is quite an interesting character, be it for her excelling at her job or her personality as a whole;
- Most characters go through a nice character development and people who create or make issues worse eventually pay for their actions and the ones who work hard are rewarded;
- The romance is very slow-paced, mostly on the male lead’s side, but although annoying it actually made it more realistic considering his trauma and overall personality.

I probably missed a few things.

Of course it also had some flaws. It dragged here and there, which is expected from Chinese dramas, and it had some annoying sub-plots and characters...yeah, I am looking at you Captain Jiang.

Also, I feel like the last episode should have been merged with episode 38 instead of being a whole separate episode as episode 38 was a lot more interesting and would have made a better last episode. They also addressed something in the last episode that I am glad they did or it would have been a plot hole, but that I wish it was addressed sooner as doing it in such a rushed way in the last episode took away from the seriousness of it and just made the episode less enjoyable.

With all that said, I definitely recommend this drama for people who have any interest in planes, pilots, flight attendants, ... and for everyone else too I guess. My advice is to not binge-watch it and watch a few episodes everyday. I watched it as it was airing and while I had my breakfast and it made it more enjoyable.

No, she cheated on her boyfriend at the time with the ML (ex-boyfriend). She gets back with said boyfriend again later on. Not worth it if you are watching it for the romance, or any other reason really.

Thank you. When are you going to upload the rest of the episodes? I can see so far you uploaded eps 11 to 15.

It either was not fully subbed or the subs were bad. Not sure what the problem was at the time.

It is bad enough that she sleeps with her ex-boyfriend and meets with her boyfriend the next morning like it’s nothing but instead of coming clean she keeps lying to his face.

I will keep watching because this is only 8 episodes long and I hate dropping dramas but the writers pretty much destroyed any chance of me liking the female lead.

P.S. - This all happens in the first 20 minutes of the first episode so I don’t think my comment is really a spoiler and might help some people decide if they are ok with this behaviour and still want to watch it.

EDIT: Yeah, this is not a 9, much less a 10 and definitey does not deserve the title The Fabulous. Not my cup of tea.

Season 1 is not subbed but season 2 is getting subs? That makes no sense.

Seems like Fer already told you where you can find it. ^^

I have not read the novel so I will just comment on the drama.

The first few episodes were interesting but slowly I started losing interest. The main leads did not even feel like the main leads as there was so much going on and so many "supporting characters" stealing screen time. From like episode 3 to episode 20 the story felt like there was still a long way to the end of the drama. The pacing, the supporting characters with all the secondary plot lines, everything gave that vibe. But then this ended up being only 25 episodes long so the ending was rushed and it did not even feel like an ending at all. This was probably due to all the scenes that were cut, which has been happening a lot lately with Chinese dramas, yet with this drama it messed it up so much that I could not even tell the last episode was the last episode.

Also, there weren’t many romantic scenes between the main leads and I barely felt their chemistry, again, probably because of all the editing going on.

At the end of the day, I cannot recommend this drama.

What could have easily been an 8 or even 8.5 rating became a 6.5 mainly because of the last 4 or 5 episodes.

It is not the first time a writer ruins a perfectly good drama, but what I find hard to understand is how the whole thing was written by one person and not 2 completely different people.

How can the person who wrote characters like the main leads and Li Dai and that made the first half of the drama mostly enjoyable (with a few boring moments here and there) be the same person that made Fei Fei unbearable, that made the brother and the best friend stay together in such a toxic relationship and that completely trashed the entire drama in the last few episodes giving us an ending that was anything but satisfying?

I have so much I want to complain about but not only I would be spoiling a lot but would also feel tempted to lower the rating even more.

I want to remember this drama for the good things it offered so I will stop this comment here.

Yikes, MGTV. I guess I will wait until Viki or some fansub picks it up.

I enjoyed some parts of it, including the embroidery, but at some point the flaws became so many that the good things started to become less and less noticeable. Although I agree with you on the lack of importance that was given to human life at the time, I still think Zhuo Jin Niang was given more power than it made sense for someone with her status to have. Exactly because life was so fragile and it was so easy to get yourself killed, it did not make sense how so many people blindly followed her orders when they knew one bad move could get them killed.

I watched this 2 years ago but I still remember the feeling of frustration because of the flaws I pointed out in my first comment.
