Uhh 😬 It was a little bit after FL walked out with a box 📦 other stuff, but I don’t remember if it’s in ep. 3 or 4 that she got fired. Ep. 4, I think? 🤔

Haha… they actually didn’t show the screen this time. But I can only guess that it’s about FL connection to ML. Maybe we’ll find out in episode 5 when/if FL meets her. But, realistically speaking, it does raise flags if analyst of one company lives/has relationship with boss of a competitor.

I wonder what message Fang Yan saw on her phone. Maybe it was the picture of the leads together in the car 🚗.

I understand the feeling. But I will forgive bad AI as long as a drama is released and not shelved :)

Historical dramas generally have a higher budget so face replacement here was probably done on a shoestring budget 😳

Does anyone else think that the ex was put in the CFO position in large part of be a scapegoat for the troubles that company is going to encounter after their IPO? Now, maybe the daughter really does like him and it’s her dad’s plan, but it’s clear something is shady.

The probably cut a lot of scenes with FL’s ex to reduce costs of AI face replacement. So that’s why we didn’t have a proper storyline about their relationship coming to the end.

I know the actor was cleared of charges. But the allegations caused this drama to be shelved and for production to spend extra money on AI face replacement. Obviously, not his fault and many people go through that, but the production was impacted anyway (and this isn’t the only drama either).

It gets much better starting with episode 3. Episodes 1 & 2 were a bit uneven due to editing — they probably cut a good number of scenes with FL’s boyfriend because they wanted to reduce AI face replacement costs (overall episode count went down from 40 to 36).

That guy sucks so it’s a good thing they didn’t waste millions on making him look better 💩😁

Until I read the comments, I didn’t even realize that guy had AI face replacement and I actually know the new actor. That character is scummy and don’t want to look at him anyway 🫣😁

it starts to get really good in ep. 3. Episodes 1 & 2 are more of a set up.

it starts to get really good in episode 3 🥰

It doesn’t even feel like he’s breaking up because of that rich woman. Seems like their relationship has run its course and he’s not in love with the FL. Either way, not a good man for sure

Sigh… because of that troublesome actor they spent a bunch of money on AI instead of paying for color grading

FYI, this is not yet on Viki (in the US, at least). Started watching on iQIYI 🥰

Very well said. Another thing to remember is that more mature/grown-up dramas often don’t do well on MDL (at least, for C-dramas). Same with dramas starring less popular actors. I’ve watched some really good dramas that weren’t “idol dramas” or didn’t have top-tier stars and had 7.8-7.9 on MDL. Reading comments is usually a better way to decide than using a rating.

Hi 👋
Yes, most definitely on my watch list although I’m a bit behind on dramas 😳

Figures. This always happens early on (and sometimes at the very end like with Veil of Shadows dropping from 8.5 to 8.1 because of delulu fans / antis).

OMG, OMG, June 15 we are finally getting fireworks 🧨
