This is probably one of Haein's worst characters ever, don't get me wrong i'm not talking about his acting he…
I haven't finished it yet, but from what I can tell about our ML, his parents have an awful marriage and I think because of that, he doesn't communicate well at all. But you're right...at times our ML character is insufferable.
The surprising part is that those who knew them quickly realized they switched places, while those who didn’t…
I think it shows that those who knew about the switch cared about them deeply as individuals with distinct personalities. In that way the series shows the difference between superficial interactions and caring interactions.
I enjoyed it. I thought the acting was top notch. It does take a bit of imagination to accept that adult twins could trade places and people wouldn't notice but I suppose that was the point: nobody in the office wanted to have anything to do with Mi-Rae. I'd give it an 8.5.
I'm having trouble getting through the first episode! Our hero leaves his brother with a man who saves them in the forest, and then in scene just a few minutes later , he accosts our heroine in town, wanting to know where the bad guys have taken his brother! Did something happen off screen that we didn't see? It's very confusing, and the editing has made it difficult for me to enjoy the story! I'll probably try to continue, but this choppy action doesn't bode well for the rest of the series.
mbc should release a statement saying it's not the actors fault! this is crazy, prominent actors should take notes…
I just came here to say the same thing! The actors are responsible for how they present the story, not for the way it's written! The director and producer should have hired someone to make sure everything was done the proper way. How would the average person even know about those details?
Duuuudeee i didnt know his brother was actually dead until the last ep
I kind of suspected it when the brother said all he wanted to do was lay around and read...and then his parents never mention the brother when they have meals with the ML.
I think I can relate well to the younger couple's story because I am the same age as they would be now., if they were real. I was a teenager/young adult in the 70s, and if things went well for them, they'd be in their late 60s or early 70s just like me.
Was Xu Hong Qi replaced in her position as leader of the factory because of her ties to the old regime?
She's not the most likeable character but I could relate to how she felt when she lost her position. After spending so long at her job and then being demoted in front of everyone would be a bitter pill to swallow. I know she still has a job, but still...it's hard to accept.
I hope this gets added to viki or something like that. I don't want to subscribe to any more streaming services at the moment. I think Wang Rui Chang is a good actor and I want to watch the series, but I'm holding out hope I can see it without paying Tencent for it.
They are frustrating but I wonder if it's a cultural thing. I think in Chinese families, sons are expected to…
If I was Lin Mei and my family trashed my husband like that, I'd never go back, especially since his family seems to like her well enough.
I think it's interesting that the official government stance at the time was that all people should be treated the same, and yet Lin Mei is hung up on the way other people will perceive her husband's job. Fei Ting wants to earn money but he doesn't want to work in an office all day. Lin Mei and her family seem to think that makes him a lower class person. I guess old habits are hard to break.
Depending on what happens to Lin Mei’s family and Feng Li, I might raise my rating by the end. I can’t remember…
They are frustrating but I wonder if it's a cultural thing. I think in Chinese families, sons are expected to care for their elderly parents and daughters go with their husband to care for his parents. Lin Mei's family wanted her to marry someone that would have connections so her brother could get a better job, and therefore he'd be better able to care for his parents. Is that a good thing? No, because they're putting themselves above her happiness, but from what I've read, it wasn't an uncommon practice at the time. Hopefully her family will get what they really deserve by the end of the series.
Bit disapointed... Not that the show is bad, but maybe I expected too much. I expected more mystery games and…
I think the murder mystery game was supposed to be a twist on the 'meet cute' trope, and they did use it to show that the female lead was very intelligent and able to solve problems in an unconventional manner. However, it would've been nice if the writers had given more emphasis to the game later on in the series.
I understand how you feel. It bothers me a bit when they refer to the ML has having a mental illness that may…
I can see your point. To me he's acting that way because he had regained his memory much sooner than he let on, so he chose to act silly because that's how people expected him to act. In other words, he was intelligent enough to be sly and get what he wanted. But that's just my point of view. I respect your opinion.
