This drama is like a modern version of palace intrigues that are always happening in historical dramas. It’s not about business but rather characters trying to get promotions, undermine their rivals, and so forth. It’s also about pressures faced by people in a workplace and how well they maintain (or not maintain) their dignity & moral bearings.

Haha… this drama is clearly for an older audience and not young TikTok creators 🤣

It’s sad that QHL died, but she was extremely unhinged and I almost thought she was going to jump in the river after talk with the FL.

And I’m pretty sure we are meant to understand that FL & ML(DY) ended up together. He didn’t go back to his hometown and stayed in the city to be with her :)

It’s a great drama indeed and, I think, it offers quite a few insights & lessons to men too.

Metaphor being FL riding up the escalator? ;)

But, yes, this was a very good realistic drama clearly meant for adult mature audiences. MDL rating is way too low but — hopefully — it’s getting good ratings in China.

Yes, it’s a nice twist on storytelling:)

This is a great realistic drama meant for adults, especially those who have been in a workplace for some time and can relate to the pressures faced by the characters and choices they make.

P.S. MDL 7.3 rating is ridiculously low 🙄

I’m glad Mina Sue reassessed the situation, settled on a guy and generally tried to play nice the last few episodes. Not sure how much she fully grasped her mistakes though because some things she said were still kind of questionable 🤨

Are You the One is a great drama. It’s actually my favorite historical C-drama and I’ve even rewatched it a few times after getting frustrated by bad plot & screenwriting in other dramas (C-/K-dramas).
Just ignore MDL summary (it’s not accurate) and watch first episode carefully. It starts off kind of light but grows more serious as the story expands & grows (it’s not like, for example, Flourished Peony/In the Name of Blossom where almost all action took place in one place).

Haha… I forgot ending of ep. 10 and was wondering why he showed up at an abandoned house 👻

They were clearly waiting for WCR to arrive 👸🏻

I’ve only watched LotFG and generally enjoyed it but just be prepared for it to be lighter in tone than it initially appears (it’s not a serious emotionally heave historical drama). Screenwriters also left some plot gaps and things like that. But it’s still enjoyable if you just watch it for FL+ML dynamics and don’t think too hard about what’s going on 😁

They should’ve used same person that dubbed WCR in Are You the One, but I think that actress dubs a lot of dramas so maybe she was busy.

WCR was great in Are You the One (historical drama). She was also great in Fireworks of My Heart (modern drama) playing a character who slowly gets from under tyrannical control of her family (esp. the evil mother).

As someone who didn’t read the novel and only watched the drama, executing the maid would not have fit the FL character & the drama so far, especially given the reason why Mei passed long into to the prince.

FL is definitely being spoiled 🥰

It seems like it was 10 years in the novel but they changed it to 15 years here

The new outro better fits more serious events happening now 🥺

Poor Mei 😳😢😭
