How does this work? Does that mean Lee Da In is also cutting ties with her sister Lee Yoo Bi and mum? That is truly sad...I mean if things don't work out with Lee Seung Gi and his family in the future or when she has personal problems, she should still be able to reach out to her immediate family (except her dad) for help and support. Why can't they just announce that they are severing ties with her dad? I hope her dad sincerely reflects on how his own mistakes brought pain to the victims and broke up his own family.

Everything was perfect for me - from casting to script, to performance and storytelling. I must however, give credits to the subtitles production team. Without good translation, non-korean native speakers will not be able to fully understand and appreciate the meaningful dialogues.

I hope everyone involved in the production of this drama wins big at the upcoming Baeksang awards.

What a real pity that they could not continue with the production of this drama. The story was very engaging and I love the cast! Just two episodes in and I was already hooked - wish I could see how the story unfolded and how it ended. If they can't pick it up from where they left I wish they could start over because I could see so much potential with such a stellar cast but I suppose even if they did, it would be hard for the original cast to get together again without conflicting schedules.

All this crap aside, I find a few things extremely disturbing that's causing ME mental anguish and not just his mental instability - regardless of when they officially dated, as a human being, as someone who once seemingly cared and was genuinely in love with Sae Ron, WHY didn't you pay your respects at her wake to bid her final farewell? My best guess is - you felt sorry/guilty for all you had done?

She tried to protect you to the end for not exposing your relationship with her but you on the other hand couldn't wait to get rid of her by blocking her from contacting you. You really shouldn't have denied your involvement with her in the first place - you make yourself look like a despicable fool now, needing to justify your actions to the world. You talk about your mental instability - have you ever thought of how Sae Ron was once in your shoes, feeling completely desperate, hopeless while all the time under public scrutiny being mocked for simply doing her best to start over but your company had to make it harder for her?

I don't know how all this will play out but this is a classic lesson of why we shouldn't be telling lies...

I actually had the exact same thought too - I would have struck first prize if I bought a lottery ticket that day....and your analysis of my probability in winning a prize is spot on!! Even better, if my sixth sense allowed me to time travel, I would surely be able to purchase a ticket for you in advance 😉

I feel your pain - I often have to travel to attend my idols' concerts so the real cost of their tickets actually includes air tickets plus accommodation, CDs and official merchandise....ouch!

I'm a foodie too yay (which explains my profile pic)!! I'm just not a big and/or fussy eater, but my cravings will hold me in ransom if I don't satisfy them quick enough. They will keep popping up in my head and do crazy things to me and I'll eventually end up with food coma after lol . 😋 Like you, I also try to justify my spending but when it comes to food, I'm morally bankrupt. 🤣

lol talk about the power of perception, sixth sense! Who could have known 2 years on that he would be remotely related to the term "potato" just like how I had described him then 🤣😍

I'm just truly devastated and heartbroken. For most people, our lives would have just begun at 24 and hers ended at 24. If no one wanted to help her when she was still with us, don't pretend you would have done something about it now that she is gone, and worse, talk about her and her family disrespectfully. If you don't want bad things to happen to yourself, don't inflict the same pain onto others.

I think the change in DH was triggered as a result of his experience of love, life and death in the mortal world and plus he also had vague memories of his past life with XB after he returned to the immortal world. It's not so much that she was the only one who understood his desire for affection but because she was different from others - because of his status, looks and power, others often came to him with a personal agenda or ulterior motives, always eager to manipulate or use him for protection. Unlike others, XB was the only person who would selflessly sacrifice herself to protect him over and again, and this he acknowledged it himself whilst reminiscing and ruminating about the past. He liked that she was innocent yet playful and a great cook too 😍

I doubt XB truly understood DH's desire for affection - her own insecurities always drove herself away from him and even in the end, it was the others who had to explain, persuade and convince her that DH had always been faithfully in love with her. If she truly understood him or his desires they would not have had frequent misunderstandings.

But to answer your question - yes, I wouldn't be able to hold back too if I met the love of my life (and I did 🥰) but DH & XB's characters in this drama have taught us to exercise restraint in relationships - XB had to lose her obsession with DH and DH had to overcome his fear of losing XB. I'm not always rational or disciplined when it comes to love. DH loves to disect and analyse every detail. I would rather just go with the flow. Over thinking always complicate matters 😒

The gf would be heaps disappointed too lol if they went on a romantic getaway and then bf drops down to his knees, brings out a ring only to say ..... "Happy Birthday???!!!"

Still I applaud him for his bold action/proposal coz I think that's really sweet 🥰

The entire time in the latter half of the series, I kept laughing and cringing at how childish Emperor Dong Hua got whenever he was around FJ - while I get that love can make us childish, sooky and playful, somehow that contradicts his image as a cold and aloof, advanced age celestial being. Still, his transformation or should I say character development was very refreshing to see but at times a little too corny! 😄

Lee Joon Hyuk is on the roll - in the last couple of years he has played the protagonist and antagonist across so many genres in dramas and movies and I must say he is one outstanding actor that tops my list. I started liking him since Three Brothers - I'm so proud to see him grow with versatility 🥰

Everyone looked so ruminative at the script reading - must be rehearsing an intense scene!

I'm all in for romance but I cretainly had to read "Mother TF team" twice to process that correctly 😁

It's strange but it's all those extra behind the scenes that ruined the drama for me. I got to see how playful (and somewhat childish) the ML was when he and the FL were rehearsing their lines and that made their romantic scenes less convincing even though they had good chemistry.

All good, glad you found the song. You must really like the song to comb through your Spotify account history just to locate it 😄

Not sure if this is the song you were looking for but from memory the entire song was sung in English. It's a track from one of Bai Lu's drama "Love Is Sweet" titled "Things I Do For Love" by Sunnee.

As this may be considered off topic I'll send you a PM later on to let you know my thoughts on "She would never know" ok?

Oh you've finished S2? It would have been so fun to watch S2 together with you though...Just thought I should let you know that romance isn't the main theme of S1 but the set up is quite similar to S2 so if you like S2 that much chances are you'll also like S1.

Agreed, I reckon S1 deserves a higher rating than where it's currently sitting. It's 8/10 for me :) Me too, I like couples who can stay grounded when challenged by temptations and find their way back to each other even if they get derailed along the way....

Have you finished S2? I'm currently watching "she would never know" (korean drama) and still have a few more episodes to go so I'll start S2 straight after and hopefully meet you in the middle :)

No problems at all :)

Before I replied to you, I actually laughed at your comment because I did a similar thing - I took a sneak peek at the first two episodes of S2 at random intervals of each video after I completed S1, to see if the story will draw me in, while you watched the last two episodes of S1 in full as introductory to S2. Initially, I was a tad hesitant to start S2 because of its high episode count but today you've convinced me to watch S2 so thank you!

Yes, the main couple has a lot of screen time together in S1. If you enjoy watching this couple in S2 then I think it's worth watching S1. They "encountered" one another at a very young age, with child actors playing their younger counterparts.

Kudi Liu Li/Xiao Dou Zi suffered a lot of hardships since young so she had to submit to a lot of trickeries in order to survive in and outside of the palace. You'll get to see how her character evolves and eventually meets and falls in love with the ML who is very protective of her. The FL is a very intelligent, stubborn, loyal, outspoken and righteous person so she often gets into trouble because of these personality traits.

For the romance part - there's going to be a brief love triangle between the ML, FL & SML but that dissolves fairly quickly. The FL & ML loved each other tenaciously so it was almost impossible for the SML to penetrate that bond but you'll see him resorting to all sorts to keep the main couple apart. I also love Wu Mei Niang - she's such a gentle and kind being - I'm so glad she got the ending she deserved 🥰

I have to be very honest though - I did fast-forward a lot throughout the series but to answer your question - yes, it's woth watching for the romance.
