I love that you breakdown your review by episodes and an overall commentary at the end !! Thank you! Totally agreed…
I am glad you are also seeing the problem. I've read the novel so many times. But in the drama, I don't think I can see it more than once ... I am already FastForwarding a lot because I am not really interested in the other minor characters, who take up more time than the main leads. For example, 21 ... they should add in more about the main leads ... instead it's like an bunch other random stuff, which I need to ff, especially the mom singing at the end ... Admittedly, the story doesn't have much on this section ... but still, they should just not add in random stuff.
I agree that this drama is not progressing as normal romantic dramas. It has a lot of other couples. The main…
I agree that the business scenes were filmed like a cartoonish version of the novel to make it funny? except I am not feeling it. Like you said, I rather see fewer but longer screen time between the leads ... showing more realistic emotions. I am hoping after 22 when they begin their relationship, it will happen.
I think there is a misunderstanding. She always puts her work first ... and that is her commitment and professionalism.…
I understand where you come from ... all of this is the scripting issues ... they try to make it funny when they say getting over in a month. Did you see the part where she was drunk? I think that is the only extend that showed her being heartbroken over him.
I included a trailer link in my review ... you can watch it if you are interested in Li Li ... I don't think she will end up with him ... It's my guess.
honestly if they spend 20 episodes just talking about their company stuff they should have made it more engaging…
I agree that this drama is not progressing as normal romantic dramas. It has a lot of other couples. The main leads do have some romantic non-business related moments. However, I also don't feel they are long enough. It's partially, the novel problem. In the first part, HT is not in it A LOT so the scriptwriter is filling up the gaps. But still ... the screen time between the leads should be more developed.
20 was getting better. 21 is back again with just 5 minutes of the main leads time together. If you can be patient (I am also trying to find that patience), you can wait for ep 22 +. Hopefully, it's will get better.
I think there is a misunderstanding. She always puts her work first ... and that is her commitment and professionalism. It's her nature and yes, that's why they don't match in expectations.
SHE DIDN'T get over him in "less than a 1 month". Actually, even during her birthday ep 22, she was still hoping that he does something for her even as a friend.
TBH, functioning well is all relative. You can think of it as she is logical and there's no use to cry over spilt milk. As logical woman, I wouldn't sit around mopping all day ... He functions well too ... he didn't spend any time mourning her! He started dating before her.
There are people on here who have already voted for episodes that haven't even aired yet. Episodes 24-38 all have…
It's ok only 4 people doing that so it won't matter against 800+ people. And we don't know if MDL even counts episodes that are not there yet. When I saw this in the beginning, only 1-2 people doing it. I thought it was a fraud so I also voted to bring up the scores to even things out ... it used to be 1.0 or 2.0 rating ! Obviously, it didn't matter because the overall score is low due to fans not voting yet!
U r mixing up the technical background with business knowledge.. She is a technical guy for business she definitely…
The novel has a love story but also business ... I would say 60-40 ... I don't particular like how the drama shows the business side of it ... it makes it look like a cartoon - contrived - so that's probably why you think it's not realistic. It's a little choppy the way he talks business to her too ... The HT in the novel is much older and more serious. He bought her business partially because he likes her personality but it's also a realistic situation where he wants to get the technology from her company ... it is essential to complete his company's competitive edge. The drama is not meeting my expectation of the novel in some ways ... Once they change the personality of the characters, then it feels a little contrived.

They are are the same. You are watching a novice techie person who was given money to run the business ... Her technology knowledge is good but her business management is not. And this is whole premise of the story: their mentor-mentee relationship It's a little fake but that's how most romantic stories are. She didn't even specify how the options are given. That's why she will have issues later on.
She will grow into a more mature business woman. But eventually, ht assigns another person to run the business when it is absorbed into his company. She will be doing the CTO job instead of CEO job.
What you will get from the novel is why HT likes her ... this is different from the drama. He noticed her goodness and honesty from the beginning when his car hits the bicycle. He likes her for the way she deals people - honest, ethical, etc ... different from ZD who has no ethics.
I don't think the script is dumbing her down. She is portrayed as a technical woman - smart and capable to be trained.
I think he will get the girl at the end. poor guy trying too hard!
Her current bf has issues that we still don't know until later on. As I said, you can look the preview that I post inside my review to see the story unfolding...
I understand your issue ... really this script tries to include too many couples. And the leads are not having…
In the book, there was. And lots of it :-). I just hope that the drama doesn't change too much because the 2nd part of the book is when they develop their feelings, breakup, then the 3rd part reunited ... 4th part is when they have kids. So overall, the novel was very good. I just hope that the drama script is not messing up the story because ultimately, the reason I watch this drama is not because of the actors. It's because of the story.

It's all personal preferences.
