Just saw that Zhao Yuan Yuan is on the cast list for this. I LOVED her as the crazy bananas dowager empress in Shadow Love. Does she get to do anything fun/interesting in this latest role or should I give it a pass?
The styling in that poster reminds me a lot of Ashes to Crown. I adored the male character styling in that show and would be over the moon to see something similar for this. 🙏🙏
That last episode was holy-K-trauma. I honestly don't know what to make of this drama... I thought the plot twist…
Agreed. At first I thought the twist was dumb but ended up loving how it recontextualized the emotional truths of the different characters. Unique and memorable storytelling, but ultimately flawed. I don't think I could stand to rewatch it - there was a lot of narrative bulk about "let's understand and appreciate the elderly" and side stories that felt unnecessary with later context. Wish they had kept it more focused on the main family melodrama.
Decent premise but there were so many neverending dialogue scenes that just repeated the info you already knew over and over. They could have fit a lot more plot in this if someone had bothered to edit the script. Even the role reversal stuff was bland. I got bored.
Great final line! Some similar character dynamics to love beyond the grave, but I preferred the softer, scholarly vibes of this one a bit more. Instead of obsessed ghosts and generals, this one is divine trees and local government.

Interesting. When you take a green flag character and you squeeze him so hard a bunch of red flags pop out of him but when you stop squeezing they all retract below the surface leaving a pure cinnamon roll again. Is there a better name for that trope? A stress ball red flag? Always amusing.
BEST actress in the short drama department, she should get much better roles I love her 😂❤️
This ☝️. Watching her for the first time right now in Family of 3 Same Class and she is impressing me so much I had to immediately pause and check her MDL. She is great.
Loved the basic concept but the female lead was such an absolute uncharming airhead of a character I couldn't take anymore and dropped it about 30 minutes in
