Kinda bummed that it seems like Xue Ranran will be her character for the majority of the drama. Mu Qingge was so refreshing. Powerful, kind, funny, but also took care of what needed to be done. Now we're just back to the basic cheerful fl that's in every drama. Might put it on hold. I wasn't feeling the first few episodes and it wasnt until we saw her past as MQG that I got invested. And reading in the comments that she stays XRR the whole show. ehhh I think i'm out. I don't know why they would want to make a character as compelling as MQG into a boring cookie cutter xianxia fl.

I've said what I needed to say here. I'm not responding anymore and I'm blocking anyone else who comments back to me with more creepy bullshit trying to excuse this.

you kids wouldnt be able to handle watching dramas pre2020😭

"Pre-adult" is not a thing. You really think 17 and 26 is an acceptable age gap and isn't an issue? Wtf is wrong with you? You're repeating shit that literal predators say to excuse their actions.

Lmao and I did complain about that drama when it was first announced. Scroll back and you'll find my comment.

No. I'm going to continue to voice my opinion and I'm not going to be shut down by people who are okay with the exploitation of minors. There is no excuse for this casting. You are on the wrong side of this argument and nothing any of you have said changes this. You are coming up with excuses for something that is objectively wrong and harmful. We should never normalize seeing a minor romantically involved with an adult.

Wtf does medical terminology have to do with anything here? She's not mentally or physically an adult. She is visibly 17 years old. It is disgusting to watch her with someone who is very clearly adult man in a romantic setting.

Seriously what is wrong with you people? You are obsessed with trying to justify this and explain why she's "technically" not a child. I can't believe how many women on this site are defending this 🤢🤢🤢

I really loved Yeongrye. I'm the biggest sucker for fl chases ml first and it starts out with unrequited love and the ml liking someone else. I hate though the kotoko type characters that usually dominate this trope so i am so so glad we got a fl like Yeongrye. She was exactly the kind of female lead I love.

I liked this drama. Yeah, it went off the rails in the second half. Especially Jonghui's story, that got really stupid. But the girls friendship in the first half and then the romance in the second half were both really sweet and fun to watch.

Lmao it's such a nothing scandal in the first place. Even if it were true I doubt international fans would care.

Whenever people start trying to argue what is "technically" a child I know to stop engaging. Freaks, seriously. This casting is disturbing, End of story.

I loved her in that! She's great, just needs more opportunities

This sounds promising! I really like Lin Yun. If she didn't have that scandal a few years back I feel like she'd be one of the top 95 flowers. Hope this drama helps her momentum.

Big props to him for bringing this up.

There should be none if these are the leads they wanted so desperately.

"minimal intimacy" there should be NONE when one of the leads is a minor and the other is almost 30. There should be no insinuation of romance between their characters whatsoever. We see a child onscreen and then we're supposed to believe and root for her romance with a grown man? Doesn't matter if they're acting or if there's no skinship. What kind of right minded adult can watch a kid and an adult together and be anything other than disgusted when they try to make it seem like there's some kind of romance between them? It's gross. Pair her with someone close to her age or take romance out of the equation entirely.

First off, stop acting like anyone who complains about the casting is attacking the actors. No one even mentioned the actors personally, they are upset with the decision that was made.

Second. It not purely being a romance drama is not the problem. The problem is not skinship. BUT dramas with romance are about chemistry. It should be disturbing for any adult watching to see this being portrayed by a child and adult. Doesn't matter if there's skinship. We are supposed to see the leads in a romantic light. We are supposed to believe them as a couple or at least believe the romantic chemistry between them. The problem is that one of them is visibly a teenager, MUCH younger than the nearly 30 male lead. This should be a disturbing sight for any normal adult. But we're supposed to root for them? Suspend disbelief? Believe they're somehow the same age? How? All I see is a child with an adult. It's disgusting.

I have absolute faith in the leads to do these roles justice, it really all comes down to production.

She's working instead of going to school because her family needs the income not because she's older. They're all supposed to be the same age. It's first set in 1982 and the girls said they were born in the year of the rabbit so I'm assuming they were born in 1963 making them 18 or 19 depending on their birthdays. And JP missed a year so that would line up with his age.

Baicha to me looks so much like Zhu Yilong! They really look similar in this drama. Also it was driving me crazy cuz Hu Yixuan kept reminding me of someone and I couldn't figure it out. But it clicked that her eyes specifically reminds me of Han Jimin! They both have such sparkly pretty eyes.

One of the best dramas I've watched in years. Really outstanding cast and writing. I only wish we could have had more time devoted to certain plot points, some of them really flew by too quickly. Other than that, really amazing. I'm going to miss the Qiao family so much.

Medical dramas don't excite me but KJW and her team seem to have excellent judgment when it comes to selecting scripts. I've loved every drama of hers where she leads starting from back in 2017 with Fight For My Way. This will probably be another hit.
