I saw it has around 930k reservations on iQiyi, are they perhaps waiting until it hits the 1 million mark to release it?

It was a mistake rereading the novel 😫 now I'm even more obsessed.

Same, but take into consideration that they announce the premiere date DAYS before the actual release sooo

I find ML's acting inconsistent, most of the time leaning towards stiff/flat (a lot to do with the writing ig) but he has these few moments where he wears his longing and pinning for her just perfectly, so visible through his entire body that he doesn't need words, I just wish it was consistent.

On the contrary, FL is a really nice surprise, her acting feels natural, I don't get why people don't like her character when she is so hardworking and decisive.

Sorry to say this here, but god I hope it is Love Song in Winter jsjs

I can't remember if Cheng Hui even exists in the novel, but Ni Na is just a minor character introduced to Shiyan as a potential partner, she only appears in like one or two chapters.

I'M SAT

They work at different stations, Eun Ho works at PPS and Hye Ri at Media N (those details are often in the background), Ju Yeon doesn't recognize Eun Ho because she isn't famous enough ig, she recognizes him because it seems that he is one of the main announcers in his company.

As for her ex not knowing about her disorder... maybe it was triggered after their break up? Maybe the stress from that played some part on it?
Her situation is too peculiar to go unnoticed for so many years, even if Eun Ho seems to have their dynamics under control.

28-29 I think

Do we know who's playing Song Jing? Couldn't point him out in all of those flashbacks

Girl, saaame 😳 when she gets all shy and flustered while facetiming him jsjs

Am I the only one that thinks the acting is bad on top of everything that's going south here?

Like I'm sorry but I have never thought JHI and JSM gave outstanding performances but I wanted to trust the rest of the cast, I was familiar with some faces and thought I could trust them but literally no one is serving acting (only ML's dad but he gets so little screentime, as he probably should jsjs) and the crappy and lazy writing is just making things worse for everyone.

Honestly, Mo-eum's character is the only salvageable thing from all this messy-full-of-clichés kdrama.

I know it was the first ep and we only got a tiny glimpse of it but I really dislike this portrayal of older women's friendship dynamics (if one can even call FL's and ML's mothers friends) and their obsession with their kids' lives. Like man, it must be exhauting hanging around them when they start going at it for whose kid is better, FL's mom was worse with all that screaming and hitting. It's not charismatic or charming, it's tiring. Like get over yourself and listen to your daughter, please.

Same for me. I thought maybe it was intentional given the opening scenes with both mothers competing for whose child was the most extraordinary and successful, but it kept going the entire first episode. Hopefully it gets better 🤞 if we can't trust tvN and Studio Dragon anymore, what then.

I haven't seen a proper translation of it yet, but you can use google's automatic translations here: https://www.xbanxia.com/books/41127.html, hope that works for you!

That works, I'll go skimming around first before commiting jeje, thank you so much for taking the time!

Hey there! Do you mind sharing the link to the novel? Thank you in advance!

I'm totally digging the Hyeji x Physics Teach ship, he seems super sweet, go on babies give us everything 🤲🩷

It has a happy ending. The novel is good, in case you want to read it!

Good god, can't writers give male leads any other personality besides the super serious, doesn't smile often, is insanely smart and unrealistically successful, and who doesn't even know how to communicate properly with literally anyone to the point it gets disrespectful???
I'm so tired of them.

Also, the straight hair on him is a crime after the longish fluffy look of it on Castaway Diva 😥 I mean, I get it, he's a finance bro but... maybe some gel could have worked.
