Ep. 11

Bao Na and Ji Chong? Hm, I guess. A lot less than the main leads, and more towards the end (from what I remember) but enough so that them potentially ending up together didn't look forced. Their interactions with other characters in the beginning are more prevalent.

Np. Oh, I forgot to mention that Bao Na doesn't like Ji Chong from the start (she likes Prince Bo in the beginning) but that changes somewhere during the show. Just so you're not surprised if you end up watching haha.

Those are just rumors tho (and it's not the first time). Although, with all the stuff that's going on in c-ent right now I wouldn't be too surprised, but I won't believe until I see it.

Yes. They didn't show them in a relationship but in the end he decides to take her on a trip and seeing how she likes him and he ends up accepting her feelings it could be said there will be something more between them. However, I guess some could see it as a friendship too(?). It's done tastefully, in my opinion.

Not really, from what I remember. The focus is on the main couple. However, it is implied by the end that SML (Ji Chong) may start something with another character.

Jin Ah must be the most annoying FL I've ever seen. First 12 episodes were good and chemistry between ML and FL was amazing but then she starting acting up and by the end I straight up hated her. Also, Joon Hee's apology in the last minutes of the last episode made me lower my overall rating; she's the one who should be apologizing. It would've been 8 otherwise.

There's also the official YT link but it's more like a fancam for some reason 😅

No, nothing has been announced yet.

Oh, okay. That makes sense 😅

Why this poster again? 😬 The last one was so much better.

For the sake of good and interesting storyline, Qi Yan's character, his and Ruoyu's beautiful relationship and Cheng Yi's amazing portrayal I'm gonna ignore the negative things and rate this 9. However, I must say that I hated Mickey He's portrayal of Qiu Ziliang and he pretty much ruined every scene he showed up in. A character with so much potential was turned into a caricature. I don't know if others liked his portrayal but this is my personal impression and I had to get it off my chest.

As I said tho, I'm willing to ignore the negative because I did like this drama and I enjoyed watching all 49 episodes.

They literally gave us 20 episodes to prepare for Qi Yan's death and I still felt heartbroken. As far as endings go it was satisfying and logical tho.

Uhh, not really. There are some signs of it (Eunseom, his twin brother Saya and Tanya) but the three of them are never together and it doesn't play a big role in the grand scheme of things. None of them are in a real romantic relationship anyway.

I don't live in the US and I'm not familiar with their laws BUT if you're buying VIP subscription for one specific drama you better wait until they air it if you don't want your money to go to waste. It's common sense.

Anyway, I would rather wait for a few more months than risk creating trouble for the actors by causing ruckus. You do you, though.

Well, people should be smart and wait for the first episode to air before buying VIP. And I say that as someone who has bought the subscription. I personally don't regret it because Xiao Zhan is the ambassador so at least it counts for something even though I won't use it, but if people don't want to waste money they should wait until it's certain it's coming out. Asking for a refund now is just childish.

Okay, thank you!

It was too good to be true. We've been waiting since 2019 so we can wait a bit more, though. Xiao Zhan's Weibo post calmed me down completely & I just hope everything goes well once they finally air it. Waiting is annoying, but C-Ent is a mess right now and I actually feel bad for all of them out there in the industry.

Does it have a happy ending? Do they stay together? Some of the comments got me worried and I don't want to invest 16+ hours into watching it if they're gonna break up.

Dunno. Modern K-Dramas still feel much different from western TV shows in my opinion, but since I've stopped watching western TV shows some time ago I could be wrong. I mostly watch Korean and Chinese dramas, and my favorite genres are historical/costume, fantasy and action/mystery but I also love Korean romance. I never really thought about it in depth but there definitely is something about k-dramas that make them more appealing to me. They're much warmer, in a way.

When it comes to romance I love how it's mostly slow burn and much less explicit. Tooth-rotting cheesiness also has its own appeal, lol.

If it's about historical dramas/movies I just love East Asian culture, costumes and history in general. I study history so whenever I watch western historical TV shows I keep checking if they're historically accurate which is quite exhausting so I prefer Asian dramas because I can just relax and enjoy without thinking too much about it.

When it comes to Japanese content, I'm not that familiar with it. I watched couple of dramas and movies, mostly historical, but that's it. I was never attracted by posters or descriptions so I didn't check them out. I loved watching anime back in my high school days but that's pretty much it when it comes to Japanese content.

Also, I much prefer one season opposed to multiple seasons format. As for the influence of global entertainment mega corps ... I honestly wouldn't know. It can be seen as both positive and negative. I appreciate new dramas we're getting from Netflix (they're high-budget and the production is great) but I also want them to keep their unique Korean charm (and I actually think they've been successful in that aspect, so far)
