This was a very good review. I firmly believe that you should rate a show based on your thoughts and enjoyment of a show.

Did you drop it at this part? It was necessary to lead into what happened after that. I agree, though, if that happened to me IRL, he wouldn't get another chance.

Is this very angst-y and does it have a happy ending? I'm not in the mood to be depressed.

I don't know how long you gave Hospital Playlist, but can I suggest giving it another try? I have watched this more than 10 times. The friendships, the romances, the comedy, the seriousness. I loved it all, other than, being from healthcare, the difficult words they used when talking to patients. They would never understand those terms.

I loved the first one because of his learning curve. I'm hoping that they can somehow make season 2 as chaotic.

Personally, I think he's handsome and I enjoy his acting. To each their own.

was it a happy ending?

Personally, I don't think it needs a sequel.

Thank you, I'll add that to my Plan to Watch list!!

So, your overall rating is really 3.5?

Although I usually think that you need to give a drama more than two episodes to settle into it, I really appreciate your well thought out review, and your specific reasons for not liking it. You mentioned over-the-top...I think this is coming off my list of Plan to Watch dramas. Thank you!

It's a 30-episode drama and they don't get together until ep. 24?!?! Is it actually slow burn or are the first 23 episodes rife with filler?

I love this version too, but I have trouble finding where to watch it.

I don't know if this will help, but Chinese dramas aren't my absolute favorite. There are a few that I have loved, but the others wear out my fast forward button. I wasn't going to watch this because the trailers didn't grab me. But the other day I was thinking that I desperately need a good romance, and I landed on this. It is slow, as Chinese dramas tend to be, but their issues are somewhat relatable. I'm a sucker for a man pining after a woman, and this ticked that box for me. I kept thinking that the FL should have been in counseling for her issues. I'm only halfway through, and I hope she learns to open up, trust someone, and share her past with them. I am amazed at how much I am enjoying this one.

Addressing #5, I'm with you. I found this drama VERY romantic. I can't speak to the second half because I'm not there yet, but I find the ML romantic in the way he cares for her and his quiet yearning. I also love that he's loved her for a long time.

Thank you for explaining so well the correlation. To be honest, I can't see it at all. The brother in HL had a big personality, but the ML here is quiet. I'm enjoying both in their own way.

I just hope there is SOMETHING likeable about the mains, in order to keep me watching.

Not to mention the toxic relationship and the evil mother of the ML!

Do Disney K-Dramas ever go to other platforms? I don't want to have to get yet ANOTHER streaming service.

Does this have a decent HE for the main couple? If it's an open ending or weird I'm not going to waste my time. I can't EVEN with her mother!!
