Wow it moves fast!

I feel they did an abrupt change too, but this drama really is about 3 perspectives so I can't fault them for that. Usually, C drama is very methodical. Every 10 eps there is a major change. So They didn't do anything atypical.

First 2 eps were fun to watch. Didn't think too much about age gap because the chemistry is there. Yoona acted convincing (or should I say fit better) in this drama compared to her previous one that I saw (King of Land)

Sometimes age gap works because the plot is good. You forget about it.

Saw her in another drama - not impressed. But so far the first 2 eps were good.

Thank you. I don't know how PR works in China. I hope she wasn't being blackmailed into signing the contract. I wouldn't put it past a Chinese company!

Totally agree with you! I don't why Chinese writers still depict women like this.

It seems kind of strange that she doesn't have a PR team to manage her image. I think the reality show also needs so PR editing too.
It also seems strange that she knows the company is bad but yet still signed on with them.

I agree with you. Her biggest problem is managing public opinion (not fanbase opinion). She needs a strong team to not sound like an entitled emotional actress.

Not just public opinion, but the government needs to be on board. So far, this mental distress is not viewed positively in China. They don't to want to hear about it.

I feel that her posts appealing to the fans might be viewed negatively in China. Even when I read it myself, it feels emotional and raw, unedited by PR.

If she has a case against the company, it's best to lawyer up and hire PR to manage public opinion. It's not like in America where freedom to speak is beneficial. The bullies in a communist country are not easily defeated with emotional appeals.

The Chinese people and government, who are not in her fan base, need to be on board. And they are not easy to convince. She should give concrete evidences of unfair practices. I can see the company already took advantage of this fact and tries to blemish her post with reasoning.

I support her quest but feel very troubled for her. It's going to be a long battle.

She said she made a mistake. We can't tell what it is that made her do it. Everyone on both sides needs to stop making guesses on her actions.

She was not "black mailed" . Fact: she said she made a "mistake". See first statement of her post!

It's contradicting that she grew up in a detective family.

I think September. August already has 3 new dramas. Maybe mid-august?

Totally agree with your logical explanation. These leads are rising stars. They became well-known after a good drama. They both got a big break last year.
A list: YangZi, Zhao Lusi, Diralba, Yang yang, Wu Lei, YangMi, Cecilia Liu, Xiao Zhang, Bai Lu, wang zibo, etc..

August 6 premiere

Douban rating is only for serious drama. I don't watch dramas based on this rating.

I don't watch AvenueX. She's also illogical most of the time. She only watches a few episodes and gave reviews. I've decided that she has her own logic. Mine and hers don't match. Her taste is different too.

There is such a thing as prodigy - age has no meaning.

"Dr. Sho Yano is another prodigy in the realm of medicine. Born in 1990 in Portland, Oregon, Yano exhibited extraordinary intelligence early on. At 12, he entered Loyola University Chicago’s Stritch School of Medicine, becoming the youngest student ever accepted into a U.S. medical school. Yano went on to earn his Ph.D. in molecular genetics and cell biology at the age of 18. His remarkable journey showcases the potential for brilliance to transcend age barriers in pursuing medical knowledge."

And as other people say, it's a fantasy. Just like Attorney Woo. Who's to say if the scenario makes perfect sense?

I think everyone here wants ZLS back. But I think we could be more considerate and give each other the benefit of the doubt and ask for clarification first. When I read her post, I did think it was strange but I didn't react in an impolite way.

Don't worry about these overzealous fans. I usually just block these people. They can be annoying.
