cute, fun 1st ep even though i would rather see the build-up to the actual romance. but i get why it was skipped, as this not a real romance yet - at least not on the scammers part. & i am here for Junior, but i loved North (Poon) he is the MVP of this ep, dude is such a pushover i am shocked he has never been scammed before, cause it was literally like taking candy from a baby. here Tim had to put in work for over a yr to get a proposal & Yu did it in less then 24 hrs - heck he got quite a heft sum without any work & if he chose to disappear now, he's wont be walking away empty handed. *********************************************maybe cause of this, i already feel bad for him when he realizes that Yu is a conman & doesn't really love him. same with Pai i guess - ********************************************************************************************************************************side note: i really tended not to like Ohm & would avoid anything he was in, more cause he was always paired with Fluke & sorry but i can't stand the dude or rather the character's he tends to portray, so am happy to see Ohm with other actors as can see him & not "the pair" - which i always found stupid - that u have to/ can Only act with that one actor u were paired with in that one BL, cause that was successful or cause of chemistry.... cause fans!! - weird & annoying. *********************************actors need to take any role & act with anyone so they can learn & grow, becoming better in their profession. the pigeonholing is moronic & can be a death blow for their career IMO.

A Cute Episode Undermined by Toxic Parenting

What a cute episode, but the downside was Pobmek’s mother being so toxic and unreasonable. If your son loves music and wants to perform in a band, and you disapprove, that is something you talk about with him privately. As an older adult, you should be setting an example for others. Instead, she threw a full tantrum, went on stage, yelled at him, grabbed his guitar, and smashed it in front of everyone. That kind of behavior shows a complete lack of respect for her own son. It is no surprise that he felt the need to hide his career and even his boyfriend from her.

Heartbreaking!

This episode was heartbreaking. So many people died. I also have to take back all my complaints in my review of the last couple of episodes. Now I see it was all for show to trick the Wu Feng.

Like the emotions that we cover up

as far as eps 1, which I've watched, both of main characters seem depressed. Dong Man chooses to talk a lot, while Eun Ah chooses to be quiet. But she's like a bomb that could explode at any moment. The story begins when one character introduced himself and the main character through his story. It flows smoothly, a strong theme 10/10πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž One eps feels like a movie. Can't wait to see eps 2 tonight!

In a conventional romance drama, this would…

In a conventional romance drama, this would be about the time in the story when the writers would contrive some reason to separate the two romantic leads. They would then gradually find their way back together. In a longer series, that might repeat, with increasing drama each time. In this series, which is not a conventional drama, the writers decided to separate the budding father-daughter relationship between Ren Xinzheng and Sun Tou Tou. For a pretty flimsy reason. But whatever. It was pretty emotional and interesting to see how each person deals with it. I really liked how LingLan Song called out her husband for holding on to his pride and pointing out how that had meant all the people around him kept having to swallow their own pride to do things for him. Overall, Ren Xinzheng is a wreck and handles the separation poorly. Meanwhile, Sun Tou Tou, being much emotionally tougher and having grown so much, handles it like the boss queen that she is.

My favorite lover boys

It's a must-watch for MDZS fans cause it's focused on our boys! Gives me huge serotonin boost haha. What can be better than watching Lan Wangji being the most repressed lover boy in existence and his dumb (but cute) beloved being clueless af lol!

Prof Ren is the father figure Sun Tou Tou needed.

This episode was made great by both the growing trust and bond between Professor Ren and Sun Tou Tou and then especially by the cute drinking session they have together to cap off the episode. This episode is also notable because, finally -- FINALLY -- Run Tian Zhen does something positive for Sun Tou Tou. I guess he does feel guilty for the stupid stunt he pulled with getting her drunk and leaving her because in this episode he helps her get her 'punishment' assignment done. This is a huge step forward for his character and one that is way overdue.

Beautiful start

It was a lovely beginning. I came expecting nothing, and left with so much expectations. They delivered so well. Save to say, I'm obsessed.

A Strong Opening to Season 2!

It's so nice to see the two brothers back again! Overall, very solid first episode that gives a great taste of what the season would look like, and the introduction of the new antagonists for this arc was ice cold. However, the mother was disappointing. You're telling me that throughout season 1, she's still as naive as she is now in season 2??? From letting the antagonists in her home to not letting her son know about the strange men who showed up at her shop, the whole kidnapping incident could've been prepared for. However, I am extremely glad they won the house invasion fight at the end!

thank you god for emotional massage kdramas

This is absolutely delightful! What a masterpiece! such a great story and acting, and filming. So creative. And nothing, absolutely nothing like the writeup. Based on the writeup, I thought this would be a gloomy melodrama, but heck no! There is humor, there is depression and loan sharks, and there is sunlight and fields of flowers and new experiences and love. Totally charming and delightful. A real art piece :)

Five Stars

Pobmek is sooo relatable...I don't know how it is in the other continents but being an Asian I can say that when I was growing up these things were pretty normalised like parents were the one who decide the career path for you. If you oppose you were declared as a rebel kid. Constant comparing for every small thing.

Strong Start

Wonderful Pilot episode. The word of mouth so far has not been great among certain section of fandom, as either they are jealous of the pairing or perhaps since the story is regarding the modern monarch, so maybe Korean netizens aren't able to digest the fiction. But for me it's all worth the hype.Great casting so far, even the actors in small guest roles leave remarkable impact.So far good performances, IU is the standout in this episode. But I see Queen Mother as a great performer too.Looking forward to next episode.
