AAH!! ko neung and ko song are so cute and imo a really great representation of first young love. Everything feels a little confusing but still give you that fluttery feeling in your stomach.

This series always makes me feel happy! It doesn’t feel lazily done because the characters and world feels very believable and natural. Feels like I’m actually watching a group of teenage boys in the 90s.

Super duper cute. I really love the youth vibes and I always feel immersed into the series and into those 90s vibes when I watch this series. The characters are all likeable and so fun to watch.

Just overall super cute. Amazing colour grading. Feels very 90s. The actors are actually teenagers which makes the show even more appealing.

IrenaK After this episode, I am starting to think that LeJun actually acted on her own, thinking she was protecting her brother that way. It looked like GT Xie wasn't aware of her plan, which might create some rift within the villain team, I think. 🤔I was a little relieved JiaYu actually had done her own investigation and scheming to find out who killed her mother, and along the way, she even managed to connect all the given dots and concluded that WuYi is Crown Prince WenXi. Clap, clap, girl! 👏😌WuYi's confession of his feelings was nice and took her by surprise, but she's not indifferent. She has feelings too, and she has shown that more times than I can count... even if she doesn't realise it herself or say it out loud. 🥰And now they are stronger than ever. She trusts him way more, and I love it. With WuYi standing next to her, supporting her cause and making sure everyone in the Xie mansion listens to what she has to say to them, to her father... Couple goals! 🤗💪Now she has publicly cut ties with the Xie family, denounced her father, and taken her mother's coffin away from them. What an aura they had during that walk through the streets! 🤩

This episode was a bit aggravating to watch as both Vincenzo and Cho seem to become barely competent and keep doing things either incredibly slowly, with no sense of urgency or else with frantic carelessness. Given how methodical and competent their characters have been up to now, this kind of put me off. Didn't completely spoil the episode, but it kinda made things flat. Hopefully this is a one-off deviation. I understand that this was done in part to shift the focus from the gold over to the Guillotine file. But it wasn't done with the same level of quality that the show has previously established.

Her in Focus Chasing Love closes with heartfelt performances from Nile and Namwan, beautiful production values and a long-awaited happily ever after. However, rushed pacing, uneven adaptation choices and emotional reveals that never fully land prevent Episode 8 from delivering the payoff the story spent eight weeks building toward. Our spoiler-filled review examines what the finale got right, where it fell short and why it ultimately left us wanting more. Read it here: https://bit.ly/3QXOtVG

KJ2025 WuYi knows JiaYu is exhausted and hasn’t eaten since kneeling before her mother’s memorial. He brings her flatbread and she immediately starts discussing her mom’s case. I don’t think they know that Cui Jun was a fake but the letter her mother wrote to Tutor Xie acknowledged it. Her mother hated his obsession with the case and it had driven a wedge between them she thought insurmountable, but as she pursued the truth of it for herself she found it had merit. She acknowledged he had reason and hoped they could remain friendly if not partners. JiaYu figured Tutor did not capture him or he would not have tried to make a deal for the letter. WuYi decides to use his own token to move things along. LeJun visits the Tutor and he is ready to choke her to death for killing his wife when she reveals Prince Wendi is alive and has the token. The very next day Empress dowager has a dream and wants them present at a banquet. Here WuYi shows his token and even has the guests pass it around to look. LeJun is definitely nervous and is ultimately accused because the token was slipped in her sleeve. Her mind worked in such a tragic way. She had no bottom line where her brother was concerned. She argued with Princess Yunzhao over a cliff and could not change her mind. She showed her ‘friendship’ by having JiaYu out of the carriage and taking her place. How would she not think her friend wouldn’t want justice for her mom as much as she wanted to protect her brother. It never once crossed her mind that if Prince Wenxi was still alive and hadn’t tried for the throne he might not be interested in the job. Her brother talked her out of killing the coachman’s family but when the wife showed up as a withness the lesson she got from that was she should have killed them all. Tutor Xie is still reeling from the loss of his wife and that Prince WenXi is till alive. Prince Qi is now officially at odds with WuYi over his sister. WuYi had a legitimate point that if he fancied himself a ruler to be, he needed to judge impartially and justly. There was no justification for his sister killing Princess Yunzhao. It was fun watching Empress dowager having to choose between JiaYu and Tutor Xie for the token she didn’t want pried from her hand. His identity as the crown prince is still covered because she didn’t know what the pieces looked like or understood the one was superior to the other three. Mao is going to be on the warpath now but so is JiaYu. She has found a site for her mother’s grave but the owner wants top tier prices. She assumes WuYi is wealthy and has no clue he gives most of his income to take care of his army. She thought he was begrudging her cash and took her sword back. He showed his love for her and respect for his aunt by selling his prized one of a kind steed and all his estate holdings yet still 200 taels shy. His wife brought these to her and informed JiaYu the lengths he had gone to to get as much cash as possible. Jia Yu gives him the coveted sword but he tells her what he really wants. They are moving closer as a couple as Mao moves closer to being their nemesis.

Bella This episode had me LoL at least four times and I was watching it in the doctor's office. So I was only slightly embarrassed. The action scenes were gratifying and fun with just the right amount of levity and humor for me. Idk why this episode is rated so low except for the people who are expecting this show to be something it's not, who h is serious and realistic. Yes the plot holes are there, but I think that's part of its charm.
