At least, we get an interaction with the aunt (ML’s cousin). But moms of the leads are overseas and fathers are dead (ML) or status unknown (FL).

Totally valid approach :) I enjoyed it because it was mostly stress-free so it was an enjoyable watch without too much drama (some drama came from FL’s sister’s evil ex). Sometimes we just need something relaxing ☺️

You were luckier than the rest of us. Not that MDL ratings are a great reflection of quality but when a drama goes below 7, you know things went very, very wrong 😑

On the other hand, have you watched My Boss (CXX & ZRN version)? That one is underrated in my opinion. It’s mostly light and feel-good. One of the rare times when I wished a C-drama had more episodes (this one had 36). The premise is not anything special but the leads elevate it a lot. I wonder if ratings were caused by a confusion between CXX & ZRN “My Boss” (2024; 36 episodes) and micro-drama “My Boss” (2024; 80 episodes).

It’s #1 example I give to people when discussing inexplicably bad endings. The drama had a good cast and was pretty good up until the last 2-3 episodes when things went completely off the rails. It’s as if original screenwriter(s) got kidnapped by aliens and director had to use scripts from a different drama. Only instead of finding a romcom script, director found a script from bleak, heartbreaking melodrama about loss & grief. And even then, the ending still didn’t make sense and was confusing.

OMG, so sorry. Somehow got the impression you finished the show 😢😳 (I’m a guy)

2ML was hugely delusional at that point still 😡

Yin Jie is very nice! They didn’t show secondary pairs and — while I was rooting for Yin Jie & Doctor — it’s more realistic that way. In a real life, your best friends don’t automatically start dating your partner’s best friends 😬

You Are My Glory — it’s another drama from the same writer (Gu Man). Love O2O is also a drama from Gu Man.

I don’t know if they officially confirmed a connection but rocket launch 🚀 + space satellite 🛰️ with solar panels makes me want to believe that FL’s company here provided solar panels to ML’s space institute in YAMG 😁

I’m still hugely upset at the creators/writers for the ending of A Beautiful Lie. That was insanely bad 😡

Oh, interesting. Thank you!

Soooooo… the only way to make a Republic era drama have a happy ending is to make it a VR game? 😁🤣

It’s past midnight here. I shouldn’t be having discussions about food 😳🫣🤣

Yeah, and at the friends were nice and chill about it. Not like some of FL’s college friends here. And parents in YAMG were all super nice.

Yes, but I think my favorite moment is when secret police caught paparazzi 😬 Definitely a major advantage of dating someone who works in a closely guarded facility 😁

Haha… they usually had 6-12 dishes and some of them looked tasty 😋

It was a hotel — they were concerned about information leaking (about FL being one of the brides) and the leads told organizers that if anything leaked, they would escape from the hotel to avoid inconveniencing all the other couples.
Man, YY was so cool when he came out and installed cell signal booster for the movie crew’s camp ⛺️

Yes, of course :) But that doesn’t always mean stories take place in a same universe. But others mentioned that Feng company was in Boss & Me and Love O2O, so it’s ALL related 😁

Yes :) In YAMG they got married at a hotel at a joint wedding with couples from the space institute that ML worked at. Maybe if there’s a sequel, they can renew their vows at the space station 😁

OMG, things like this happen not just with C-dramas? I don’t know the fandom in question but it’s always annoying when antis/haters engage to downrank a drama or, even more insidiously, pretend to be fans of another artist while writing insulting comments (all in order to start a conflict between fandoms).
