The MC's hair just feels so out of place. Like, could have some sort of hair accessory or something, but the hair volume on the top and the way they style it seriously does not match the MC while he is in a normal getup.
The plot seems interesting, but this fucking short drama with these long ass intro/credit scenes is a waste of resources!
Why do mainstream audiences enjoy this format? Have people's patience really been this damaged due to TikTok? Do they just enjoy a short clip?
Hey, you have to keep in mind that in ancient China, males and females grew their hair as long as a sign of filial…
Adam Apple? just the way they talk, and it was plain as a simple girl in a commoner's clothes with hair tied up. That's it!
In Episode 2, the barracks scene, you can literally see Adam Apple of everyone, and FMC is just there walking in stride.
I couldn't continue due to the poor disguise. Like all of the Chinese dramas have poor disguise, I just watched another where the girl just put a fake moustache and hair thing like you mentioned, and boom, that's a man!
I finally finished the show too. I also binged the last 6 episodes in a day. I agree with you that something changed…
This is normal in any K-drama 1st half and 2nd half just "magically" gets 'updated', and I totally agree with you that each episode was rushed rather than exploring the plot. It did feel kinda disconnected and like this is not how every thing started kinda vibe.
This is not complete tragedy nor "pure" melodrama as everything is tone down a lot later on. Viewers were already prepared from episode 3 (or if they read the description of the drama itself!) how it will end.
I might be the one with unpopular opinion but the romance litreally felt so forced.
Namkoong Min never disappoints :) melodrama inside a melodrama. One of the good watches for me :)
I just felt something was missing, and the melodrama part could have been made a little heavier, but looking at how they did the closure, I guess they did not want to make everyone cry crazily :) But totally worth it! As they went for the bittersweet ending.
Additionally, in this series, Namkoong Min's character may not seem like a strong presence, even though he is the lead. However, I think his role was primarily to push the plot forward when the plot gets repetitive . The focus was totally around the FMC and her interaction with her surroundings, also the agent and actor relation (a sub plot, I guess), but the 2nd half kinda went in a different direction, which just felt rushed.
But seriously, like who wrote the description of this drama! It spoils the first 2 episodes completely and makes you feel it was a complete waste to cover that part in 2 episodes, which could have been done in half an episode!
The short drama is a sin itself! There is no volume to the plot. This one truly had an interesting story, but this 8-minute drama just ruined everything!
Well, even in a short drama format, it is entertaining, but could be far better.
The recurring evil guy trope and kinda far-stretching ending are problematic, also FMC falling for MC feels out of nowhere too.
Well, overall entertaining but could be so better!
why does people even care about this type of thing, too much nosy? But I am glad to see The Sound of Your Heart will get a movie. That series was amazing! heck, I am gonna rewatch it now 😆
This is only a feel-good drama, nothing after that. Every episode feels like it is going to open a new door for the new interesting plot, but meh, it just ends right there as a feel-good episode. This drama contributes to nothing except how maternity leave is not taken seriously in the business world. I guess this drama was to tackle the issue of the declining birth rate? (If not, there is no single point to this drama.) No chemistry explored, no conflict explored, personal development, yes, but it goes outside the premise of the drama itself.
To be honest, I don't know what I watched. Slice of Life? Well, it tries to show a daily life of an attorney, but meh, too unrealistic to be honest.
It was boring. The only gripping part, or one that will get you interested, is the importance of maternity leave and what women go through, even in today's age, and how women themselves are not supportive of it either in the business world!
Yes, breaking the contract is always a bad thing. If she were solely responsible in the contract and the contract…
Thank you for this, your reply made me more curious and I kinda research myself and this agency and studio relationship seems to go more deep than what we think. Primarily studio seems to be a brand of the actor/actress and in early career agency control thems and unless the actors become famous or have more power in the industry the agency. It seems it is kinda hard to for studio to be independent unless you cut the ties of with the agency.
Also its another primary function seems to be "tax". The income tax for the person is way too high in China so they use this as business entity to pay tax. There seems to be some scandal related to it recently too.
Well overall it seems to be the actors brand so once they go independent they have "studio" which they can fallback on.
The writing was all over the place, like others said, this series is rushed, the episodes up to 10 are good.
Namkoong Min, as always, is awesome in this one, too! It is a good watch only if the writing wasn't messy, this would have been another awesome series. They should not have shown any chemistry, as that conflicted with the plot they threw at us out of nowhere. Well, there had to be a backstory, so that was just another conflicting plot.
Even the recurring comedy gag was out of place, if the plot is followed or per the later episodes.
Overall, I liked it, but it could have been way better! I loved the cast here, everything was perfect, just the freaking writing of this show is so annoying!
I don't get this at all, Zhao lusi has signed a agreement which she has failed to uphold and now is trying to…
Yes, breaking the contract is always a bad thing. If she were solely responsible in the contract and the contract she has with the agency did not mention they will share both positive and negative gains, then sadly she is solely responsible in this case.
If it were just a verbal agreement kinda scenario, then she might get even further in trouble due to a Defamation case that can be filed against her, if she could not generate enough convincing proof to back it up.
The only thing I did not understand is the studio part, like how that is controlled by the agency, and it seems like the agency was able to control its funds too!
This case does not seem simple, well, I hope she gets proper justice! She has gone through a lot!
If she is legally bound to the contract with the endorsement and filming, and the agency was not responsible in that contract, then this will get messy. If the agency were like in a verbal way, saying "yes, we will take care of it" and did not take care of the penalties and such, then it might go to the case of fraud, but I don't know if she will have a legal advantage in this case.
Forget the historical accuracy right? People would be burning down the studio in this case 😆
Also, googling who the previous actress was I found K-content is banned in China too! So, why the heck are they angry?
The plot seems interesting, but this fucking short drama with these long ass intro/credit scenes is a waste of resources!

Her modern-day looks feel weird after seeing her in that drama 😆
