OKAY it's AN ANGST FESTIVAL ... ANGST MARDI GRAS!!!
FOR ANGST ADDICTS ..
That could have been cut down to half the episode size (max 24 or even 30 would be a relief).
The CONFLICT point about the dead fathers WAS SO SO SO FLIMSY .. or maybe THAT was the point of the story .. the FL's 'Little Tortoise' Character trait??
BUT why did I BINGE on this turtle paced 46 eps of sheer vibrating angst .. the OTP .. Goodness those two have a chemistry that is painful yet like chilled glass of water and ADDICTIVE!
SO I would have left a 8.0 probably .. that extra 0.5 is ONLY for the actors chemistry and acting prowess.
One of the HOTTEST KISS scenes - intimate scenes - the ML actor knows how or ratchet up the heat index.
SPOILER!!!!
The LONDON EYE kiss scene !!! Hall of Fame entry please ;-p
The HUGE screen time given to secondary roles didnt EARN any points from me : their romance was FLAT!!!
I FFWDed through the scenes like a rodent on a speeding go kart - get outa my way ..
The MOST annoying characters were Sister and her BF / S FL and her PURSUER / the irritating assistant FL.
The CHARACTER of the SML was WOW!!! LOVED LOVED his role and acting.
Ive seen him SO many times and he ALWAYS delivers a REFRESHING version of whatever script / director doles out to him. He has presence ..
BUT sadly he's NEVER been a Lead role (in a romantic drama) ..
I was so curious about Kim Saboo (as LEAD role) in other dramas but didnt find any.
AND THEN .. (ta da) .. I watched Tree with Deep Roots last week and BOOM I almost fell off my chair there he was KING SEJONG .. just rocking that show .. I was SO happy I bumped it it,
I agree with EACH AND EVERY observation you made about the Drama (I am guessing you watched all the 3 seasons).
In fact those are also precisely the reason I LOVE the drama series with KIM SABU ;-p heading it in the lead role.
I too expected a "romantic" drama .. and then was SO swept away by it SO quickly even though 'romance wasn't THE FOCUS at all. JUST integral and enough to make it believable

❓❓What is a soft sub?Am watching on Dramacool and it's terrible subbing
Have you watched it fully?
Please tell me there is a passionate kiss - romance *adult" and slice of life type - as PART of the plot and story .. not just some FLIMSY FLUFFY FISH LIPPY kiddish crap
The FL isn't inspiring much confidence .. the way she is bouncing around and talking in sort of a 'babyish - whispery' voice. And such FL characterisations (if experience tells me) ends up being 'school girly' silly)
The Drama is VERY nice .. capturing it in a real life sort of way .. benign sort of people mostly .. (Am a Dr Romantic / Hospital Playlist SHIPPER .. they were two of my TOP of the list Medical series .. all seasons)
This was my first Wallace Chung as well as Tiffany Tang movie.
They were both excellent but didn't fully vibe with the way the characters were developed in the second half of the show.
Doing a fast rewatch to see if my thoughts about the drama - show are still the same.
What WAS a DELIGHT though was seeing LYX (Luo Yun Xi) in such a young avatar!!!!!💖
Omygawd 🫣🫢🤭😱🤩🤩🤩🤩
He was BRILLIANT🤌🏽🤌🏽 an actor right at the start of his career (I am guessing he started around then).
It was an unexpected surprise to bump into him - in fact by the end of the drama I came away smiling for him (and the Young Mo Sheng playing FL) more than the adult Leads 💖💖💖
I have NO IDEA what came over the scriptwriter / director duo to reduce the lead characters into limp cardboard puppets ☠️
If it means anything : I wouldn't have missed it for anything though.
Seeing LYX and discovering 2 good actors.. Plus the premise of the drama and the first half...I'd raise my rating to a 8.7 easily
Why is this not in circulation?
I wish it was just 30 eps long or less even ..
BUT DAMN it was ADDICTIVE LOL

I just realized that there is another version of this drama made : called You Are My Sunshine
Also in 2015⁉️⁉️⁉️
What the Heck!!!
Such a thought popped in my head too.
The international audience (esp ArtHouse) knows Wong Kar Wai only too well.
I am dying here with curiosity to watch this.
HUGE Wong Kar Wai fan
No one checked this out
What is a soft sub?
Am watching on Dramacool and it's terrible subbing
