Exactly!! I’m here to re-watch but I still shake my head that I never see any hype abt this drama when it’s so good.
I recommend it as much as possible since that’s how I stumbled on this the first time…only through someone’s recommendation.

The previous emperor obviously told Chi Zhao he already wrote out that edict naming Xiao Xun as successor..not sure why Chi Zhao hasn’t thought to destroy it.
It’s too late now if she remembers it…too many officials are against her & if they catch wind of another edict it will turn the court against her so she will never bring it up directly or openly.
Deng Yi clearly doesn’t care about who sits on the throne…he just wants power but not by being a puppet for someone else and at the moment he is co-Regent with the princess which even though he isn’t fully in control because of her it’s still a step or in his case 2 steps below being emperor.
He would never want to loose it cause out of the 2 successor options the young emperor is easier to deal with.. but just in case he falls he will use the edict to pave another path to power.
He knows the princess doesn’t trust him & she knows his weakness (his mother).
Yangfan is also a strong opponent that can destroy him for his own gain given the chance, so to Deng Yi the original edict is his best chance for perseverance.
But that edict only works if the person named (Xiao Xun) is kept alive.
He mainly help Xiao Xun escape for this reason…not to be on his side…but to keep his way out open.

Girl… devoting time talking abt it?
It’s rarely talked abt.
It should be talked about more.
The ep is not just about cases with teachers…. It’s a bigger issue than that which is cyber bullying with False Accusations to destroy someone.
It’s literally everywhere.
People use SA as ammo in many cases for cyber bullying.
Being falsely accused should be a crime.
It pisses me off when people make light of it.
Kim Soo-Hyundai case might not be directly from supposed victim but her family pushed the false SA allegations of a minor & he was cyberbullied a lot for it. Lucky he held out cause many would have caved with their lives.
You nitpicked at one point of the episode & disregared the rest cause that one episode packed in online addiction, cyber bullying, SA & false accusations plus many more.
Like others mentioned.
You should just quit..especially if your views are being triggered by your tunnel vision while arguing with stats that are not true.

When I said everyone I ment the public she came out to online.
What do you mean it never happens?
There was literally a case not long ago there where a teacher was assaulted by a student & to avoid any repercussions the parent went on and accused the attack on the teacher because of SA. Which proved to be false.
Another a few years back where a teacher committed suicide because he was accused of SA a student…investigation found no evidence and he was free to go but because of stigma the school fired him anyways to avoid negative views.

Look I get where you are going with this..I too have been through it but not to a bad extend like most victims…I just avoid it all.
It’s not even because I don’t have people to go to..I had plenty of love ones. I honestly don’t know why but speaking out about it at the time seemed like something I just couldn’t do. I was dealing with unwanted attention & I just didn’t want more or to blow it up.
Years later 2 others of our group mentioned it happened to them too with the same person and yet we still kept to ourselves because the person involved is someone seen as quiet, kind and a loving father to amazing boys we also knew & grew up with.
I just forget abt it even though I know it changed how I see things as i grew.
I saw the ep and thought I hope she gets severely punished for lying about something many are traumatised over. People like that makes it hard for victims so I was mainly happy that she was punished for it.
And yes it does happens
… to state something doesn’t happen is something that you should research before preaching.

Did you finish it?
She had everyone's support on her side…(as she should if she was truthful) because of that it caused the death of her victim. The team did their investigation all under wraps in school as school teachers.
They posted only one video in the end on her account and that was clearly evidence from her own device which eventually helped prosecuted her.
Getting the evidence out any other way would be a lot harder.
You realised that in their culture even when the victim is gone the blame stigma continues on to their family members unless their name is clear.

SA victims should see this & know that public will back them in waves …the fault here is not the act of being brave coming out (that is rewarded with support as seen here) but the act of deceiving with lies… which happens more than you think.

If you continue further in the show you’ll see the real side of a victim in a similar case.
The show will show the side of them wanting to speak out but fear of retaliations stops them.

Ep 9.
A parent’s cry for their child is something I can never hear without breaking a little.

Ep 10.
Satisfied with old man’s punch in the very end 👏🏼
Son in law would have been proud 😁

Omo…I just started ep1
I’ve been pleasantly surprised many times before but this is the first time I felt like I cheated on my husband. 😆
Seen him in a few dramas but I was NOT expecting that underneath 😲 lmao but seriously Yumm.

I think you may just need to watch ep 1 again.
Locals in these areas have mix heritage from Western Asia & Africa but majority have the olive complexion or the caucasian look.
I’m pretty sure some deep European roots can be traced back to Western Asia.
There are indigenous blacks in these areas but they don’t make up in large numbers.
I travel a lot (although not much in this area) & I think the idea or mindset that people still think blacks or dark skin people make up a lot of these low job positions in mix race populated countries is very outdated.

Actually a few staffs there would be considered locals.
I would say the obvious Europeans here would be because the hotel chain itself is European. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Positions could be transfers or staff placement or recruitments from their other hotels.

Damn was actually trying to figure out where I’ve seen her but was too lazy to look at her profile 😆
Gosh she must love these stealing husband roles not to mention mistreating these cheating men after winning them lol
I somehow don’t find her hateful knowing that lol

Cheating partner isn’t worth traumatising over….its only trauma if you let it but here FL wasn’t completely unscathed as this issue became a commitment issue for her towards the end. This was brought up a few times.

Also I think a lot failed to remember that FL has a Bachelor degree in Hotel Management before giving it up to be a trophy wife.
This was highlighted when she was hunting for work.
She’s got the paper to pack up all them promotions regardless how she got them.
She spoke multiple languages & her 10 yr marriage wasn’t a dud either.
She understood luxury, knows brands & what’s good for high spenders…she attended many business dinners & events for her husband, she helped entertained many important clients, bosses plus their wives. She stayed in high end hotels so understood the clients point of view.
And don’t forget ML may have been supporting her but that’s because he was also using her by putting her into these roles. He was dealing with corruption & opponets against him but he knew FL wasn’t at least one of their people.
She was a tool he used to exposed or oppressed a lot of the underhand dealings without being directly involved while fully aware that it would exposed her to hate, rumours & criticism.
Against advice from his friend knowing he’s throwing her in the deep end or to fail but he did it anyways.
He of course realised along the way that she was indeed very competent & helped her in ernest. This starts his progress on character growth & love.
Regardless she got thrown in mud & her lack of resume work experience on paper in those 10 years didn’t deter her from having the competence she already had.
This is literally the whole point of her epoch…a turning point she used well.

Was actually pleasantly surprised the review sections had quite the number of good Reviews written.
I was frustrated after completing this at how many ppl in the comments simply don’t understand it.
This drama was actually a good watch.
Character growth was good…don’t believe the bias nonsense.
If you truly understand growth then don’t forget to add the character’s background.
Here it’s so complex nearly every character had growth…heck it had more growth than a farm on steroids.
If you say you saw no growth then you simply don’t understand the meaning of the word.
Yes…Romance is slow burn…very slow (don’t expect anything in this slow stage)….but chemistry was worth the wait…yup their getting together is in fact better than a lot I’ve seen. Didn’t matter to me with this drama as the business aspect was already good to keep you entertained but it was somewhat a treat.
Honestly people complaining about “too much” business in a drama that literally has its main genre tag as “Business” is laughable 🫣
Some of y’all should read drama tags before wasting your precious time ….honestly…I learnt it saves me a lot of fustrations starting new dramas.
I can see other negative complaints have some valid points…it is what it is, not everyone needs to love on all dramas & I can see some simply may find it hard following the plot’s intensions.
But some of y’all…..utter non-sense SMH

Honestly not my cup of tea but this drama isn’t as bad as what everyone seems to be on about….I don’t even think the ratings matched or deserving considering.
The romance isn’t that great, a big draggy but it’s there…it can be enjoyable if you don’t take it too seriously…I did like the oldest siblings romance but sucks it felt rushed in the end.
Why did production & writer packed in way too many characters then continue to show many unnecessary scenes without focusing on completing each character’s plot line?
In the end it just felt like they overestimated their load work.
But even with all these it was still a decent plot to trot along with.
I especially enjoyed the family dynamic though…some very good lessons to learn there.
I too grew up with step siblings and it irritated us a lot when ppl pointed out our last names or looks not to mention if they pointed out we were “step” siblings….we were raised as full siblings & the word “step” was taboo in my family , so I totally understand the overprotective love dynamic there.
Overall if you feel the ratings may deter you to start this then don’t be.
This really is one of those show where viewers are being bias for the oddest things instead of the overview drama.

Was wondering why the ratings dropped till I watched the last episode.
I knew straight away cause MDL loves a proper ending 🤭
But I could see why viewers would be disappointed cause it was indeed lacking…they were focusing on so many other things perhaps a setup for a season 2 - (mainly with the fishing character & his unborn lover).
All that in ep 40 would be such a treat if the leads reunion wasn’t too brief since that was the most anticipated part….there was just alot to show but not enough time there.

She knew her memories were erased some episodes later…she found out why very soon after that but she didn’t get it back till towards the end but by then it didn’t matter.

There is indication they did just not shown.

Shown?
You mean when he went to the same school?
I remember they showed him when they were telling the home teacher’s story of how he was sent there as an agent to study the students.
Young-tak was one of the ones he studied there before he was transferred.
It was a very brief scene & Youn-Tao’s face wasn’t revealed but it showed his teacher nagging him abt being a senior & he stopped the time to skipped over it 😆
I think it was the episode when the parents went to the school at night to investigate if there were other kids with powers there.
Probably ep 16 or 17

The stories & their characters ….watch it and you’ll know.
I don’t even like this genre but saw some clips online and it lead me to watch it.
The only fantasy/supernatural drama I ever gave a 10 to.
It’s been awhile (I’m here to re-watch) but I don’t remember anything bad abt the special effects.
I was just as shocked that only Disney had the rights at the time.

Can’t help it lol both have an adorable, kind, not very bright but strong fav character 🤭
Not to mention one of the lead’s power of immortality being important in the plot.
There is plenty more to compare but Moving is like the super high definition in quality version. lol

He’s just overly cautious…Wangli was certainly the book smart out of the group but Houji was the street smart.
He would be best fitted as a spy tbh…the guy likes to gather information before entering into any situation.

The one I’m more curious about is the 4th guy….if you’ve been paying attention to this trio have you noticed they kept mentioning a guy name Cheng or something and he’s never there….they are actually a group of 4 not 3…even Fan knows about him but this Cheng guy was either sleeping, working or going to get bread for them 😆
Used to frustrate me every time I re-watch this drama.
They mentioned that Cheng guy a lot…literally in every scene these guys were in & we never saw him. lol
But there’s got to be a reason why they did all that so I’m waiting to see if they clarified in season 3 maybe.
If not then the drama was just trying to give us a hide and seek headache of a mystery to chase 🙄
