Everything this drama will achieve in popularity was really bc of word of mouth. I love seeing good things spread! And it can happen bc people have that beautiful quality of wanting others to experience the same joy they have felt from something they truly liked! So nice!

The subtitles said "when I was adopted" though in one of the episodes. Of course it's mangotv subs. I don't know how accurate they are to what they actually say.

Lmao tbh I think I know the ages of the MLs. As you said the FL is probably 19 and the ML feels like 21. I think 19 bc ML's mom's friend group said their sons were 19 in one episode (they said I can't believe we already have kids that are 19). We also know why the leads need to take senior year. We don't know why the other 2 boys which are MLs besties still gave to take senior year.. Also the biggest confusion is SH and her younger brother who are the most difficult to guess. SH acts mid 20s, her brother speaks as if his 19/20 but everyone was pairing her with ML as if that's the thing that made sense. However I was like how old are you girl? She has graduated uni and worked in Benjing so shes OLDER older than the rest. But somehow the ML interacts with her as if they're close in age. I kind of think the script didn't care much about these details that's why it's confusing. lol

It's possible, but then again Canine who is the younger brother and calls XW ge aka older brother how old is he? 18? And how old was he when his sister opened for him that electronic devices fixing store? lol very confusing. They should have found a way to mention everyone's ages lol

BTW I'm thinking the simplest explanation is that they all grew up together so their ages don't matter that much I guess.

I'm a bit confused with the ages. Shu Han acts as middle 20s early 30s with her "I opened the store for my brother" but I don't think I've seen Xing Wu address her as jie. Then we have Xing Wu who is 20 or 21 with the 2 years off school but Qing Ye has only called him ge when she was drunk while he's clearly older than her? Then the other 2 guys are Qing Ye's age but they are XW's best friends? I'm assuming Shu Han is either the same age or one year older than XW even though the actress gives at least 5 years older than him with the way she behaves in the series. Anyways I'm probably overthinking this. Shu Han I guess they explain her behaving as a way older person with the fact she had to take care of her brother bc they were orphans. It's a bit confusing though. I'd better turn off my brain lol

Thank you for replying! It was kind of an odd question, but it's just that they have shown this reaction a lot of times now so I was like what is it exactly. lol

One thing I've noticed on this show and it's true for all of us: one's life is full of goodbyes. As we grow up and we get older we learn to say goodbye to many people that we're close to. Whether it's death or just people going to live elsewhere this is one thing someone learns to accept as they age. So far it has been shown beautifully in this drama.

Question: on episode 29 and on previous episodes the younger director is shown holding a handkerchief on his nose when director Gu is besides him. What are they saying with this move? In what way is director Gu giving a bad odor? Bc he's an old person? Bc he smells or something? Did I miss something that explains this?

Maybe it'll grow more too who knows. It should have at least 20k if you're asking me.

Yes I saw it's done great in China which is incredible bc shows like these deserve to be recognized. It's only sad that even though c-dramas internationally have a lot of viewers too, for some reason most of these people here only watch the idol dramas. Big sigh. This show is a solid 10 and I don't say this easily. It reminds me of one other cdrama I watched a couple of months ago that aired last year (The Guardians) which is for me the best Republic era drama that I've watched but it also doesn't even have 1k MDL viewers.. I can't stand the Republic idol dramas so shows that are treated seriously and are made with lots of dedication I truly love them.

I can't imagine not giving this drama a 10 once it's finished. I've loved every episode so far. Masterpiece of a show!

Wow how is this gem of a drama with such a low number of viewers here? This is honestly such a great show.

Why did I start this so early?? lol Waiting for the episodes every week is going to be so hard!! I really love this couple! The only other time I've felt butterflies watching a drama couple this year was with Love Between Lines! Finally a kdrama delivered and now I have my two favorite romance shows of the year!! What a great kdrama!!

I kind of want to say it's not easy to make a good villain. Most times they are either too cartoonishly evil or just not scary enough. This drama and actor truly nailed it though. Both as the emperor and as the modern day version he has such a terrifying aura.. Job well done!!

Romance kdrama at its best!!!! I haven't felt giddy and excited watching a kdrama pairing for such a long time!! And I haven't even watched episode 4 yet! I love this show and pair so much!

What's really great with this type of drama is by episode 3 you start to understand the multiple perspectives of the characters. Even when I disliked a character's behavior or stance I could feel I saw where they were coming from based on their life experience and who they were. I wish there were more original scripts in dramas like the one from this writer whose work I've really appreciated all these years. C-ent is especially struggling with this, only adapting popular web novels or novels but not giving opportunities to writers and their original work.

I think if you appreciate real life themes in a drama, once you reach episode 3 it's when you start to really appreciate the story and the characters. At least that's happened to me. Episode 1 had me questioning what kind of show this was, but I reached episode 3 and I was glad I stuck there. Of course it has difficult themes but it's a drama that is more interesting than just entertaining.

By episode 4 I understood why it's called "wonderfools" and I have to say the "fools" part is actually well-made. Maybe it's also bc the actors have really solid skills but their characters being "fools" wasn't the cringy kind that a lot of times is shown on dramas but it was in a well made way. Overall the show feels really well-made.

Im Ji Yeon is so incredible! I liked her in her other projects and I knew she was a good actress but seeing her again here and how she nails every scene with a character that is both complex and adorable she's now my favorite Korean actress!!
