Episode 1 had more plot it in than 20 episodes of a 40-episode drama 😁

She’s pretty much like a character from a historical drama :)

DuDu looks so young in the beginning of episode 1 😁

That’s always a crapshoot with dramas (C or K). And we can’t even trust early episodes either (see the mess that was Fated Hearts after episodes 15-16).

In the U.S. during divorce proceedings people fight even over signed/notarized/lawyer-reviewed prenuptial agreements. I can’t even imagine how complicated it’d be if it’s a random piece of paper :)

This is a really good drama if you just fast-forward through most of parts with FL’s mom who is very meddlesome.

The thing is they are also not really enforceable unless they are notarized and drafted by attorneys who actually know all the legal aspects. But at this point we just have to accept this will keep happening in dramas similar to childhood connection trope 😁

The actress is really great though. And she’s a super nice person in real life and worked very hard to support her sister (who is in TWICE) during her medical troubles.

That was pretty much our reaction as we watched it in real time 😳🙄

MoLi fans know this already so this was more for people who aren’t familiar with MoLi/The First Jasmine 😊

To those who may be looking for MoLi but lot finding it — English title is now “The First Jasmine”

Yes, their moms were good friends and “sisters” but not true sisters.

Yes, they are not true sisters so ML & FL aren’t blood related. ML’s mom was sent to live with FL’s mom’s family when she was young (mentioned in ep. 1).

Even in a nice small town, there are creeps 😳😢

Netflix US will have it (you can set a reminder for it already).

I think The First Jamine has more reservations (6.7 million?) so it’s more hyped up. But that can be a double-edged sword. Sometimes, it’s better to have slightly less expectations & less hype which avoids armies of haters who downvote dramas usually. That’s how “When Destiny Brings a Demon” survived and thrived — most haters & trolls were too busy downvoting “Moonlit Reunion” (dramas by same author; came out at the same time, but Moonlit Reunion was more popular novel and had more stars in their cast). It took months for poor Moonlit Reunion to recover from attacks and attain a respectable score.

This is definitely a very good slow-burn drama for people in early-30s (or later) who are looking for more realistic content. I’d say it’s somewhere between a typical idol romcom and a realistic romance drama like “Fake It Till You Make It”. Highky recommended to watch.

We don’t know yet. It might stay on Netflix for all we know; I’ve seen that happen with other shows.

Probably because it’s not a true idol drama. This is more for an older audience and is more serious/realistic compared to a typical idol romcom for a younger audience.
But it’s a rare gem 💎. For people who like their drama, “Fake It Till You Make It” is a must-watch because it’s probably the best realistic romance drama recently.
