I am afraid to start watching Si Jin because I love the pairing of the ML & FL in Are You The One ☺️

I was going to recommend You Are My Lover Friend but you finished that one (no family drama there). I see you are watching Are You the One — definitely recommend finishing that. It’s one of very rare dramas where heroes do logical things and behave rationally. It gets progressively better and better as it goes along and the scope expands. And the FL is just plain awesome 👏

FOMH would have been 10/10 if not for the FL’s stepmother. But you can just skip/fast-forward through those parts. Everything else is great! Sizzling chemistry!

ML & FL are both very competent, so they can do well in any company. But previews make it seem like ML loses his position (assigned elsewhere? fired?) and FL may or may not be losing her job too. Drama previews are always super misleading though so who knows. Thabksgulky, only 12 episodes here so things will move quickly :)

There’s no happy ending/redemption for the grandma 🚚

I can’t stand Grandma here, so maybe it’s my coping mechanism to think they are trying to make her overly evil, lol… After all, how ridiculous is it to blame the kid for what happened??? Evil Grandma is one of those rare things that everyone has the same opinion about here, lol

Episodes 1-3 became available on the US Netflix on Monday, March 17.

People who read the novel said WZ’s mom is not super opposed to him, so we may be spared too much family drama (*cough* Fireworks of My Heart *cough*).

SVIP only get Ep. 15 next according to the calendar linked above.

All white trucks are aimed at the Evil Grandma!

I think they are making Grandma so evil as a meta-commentary on drama tropes. But… way, way worse blood relative is in The First Frost (just ended drama). Here Evil Granda is stereotypically bad. In The First Frost the situation is heartbreakingly awful and criminally bad.

Evil Grandma being evil 👿

For the US region, Viki is about 2 hours behind. But as others mentioned, sometimes you have to force close the app and restart it to get new episodes to show up.

in Ep. 13 $ 14, Wei Zhi got a LOT of material for her burner account’s adult-rated comic

Preview for Episode 13 is 🔥

Yes, all dramas turned out to be pretty chill. There’s another drama based on his novel (Road Home [2023]) that actually was TOO slow and TOO chill even though ML was SWAT/explosives expert (a bit similar in themes to Fireworks of My Heart but much less exciting).

This drama is definitely lighter in tone than, say, The First Frost (great drama!) but sometimes it’s nice to just relax & chill. That’s why I love When I Fly Towards You (same author as The First Frost and Hidden Love) or slow-burn/no-stress dramas like Amidst a Snowstorm of Love and Love Me, Love My Voice (both based on novels by the same author).

It fits in the theme of the drama but — selfishly — I was hoping for all romance 🥰 for the last few episodes. But this is a very good drama still :)
