Edit: Actually never mind. The more I think about it, the more I think it’s a very fitting ending. It’s very powerful and also very empowering to women. It also fits the theme of the story which was Weiyang’s struggles and successes and not her romance with Tuo Ba Jun. I cried like a baby but I can appreciate a sad ending when it fits the narrative, in which case it definitely did. Probably won’t watch the drama again though, cause I don’t wanna hurt myself with that emotional pain again lol
Great review, but I'd have to disagree about the simplicity of the plot. It definitely got much darker towards the end and the drama had a lot of thriller elements, what with the whole mystery surrounding the gallery and the drug scandal. The rom-com aspect was absolutely phenomenal, but I was quite bored with the more serious mystery plot. That's just me, though, I've never been one for the thriller/mystery genre.
He likes the CP because he liked Dam-i and he liked the maid in the forest. These three are the same person and…
Lol I think it’s definitely toeing that line of bisexuality tho. All dramas with this crossdressing trope interestingly explore the idea of falling in love with someone’s soul first and then their gender, which can get very gay very quickly haha

Yeah that's the thing that sold it for me. He imagined Lee Hwi as a woman in episode 9 and it seems like he fell in love with her obvious femininity. I doubt he'd feel the same way if Lee Hwi was masculine. With that said, I reeaaallyyyy need a historical BL because it just hits so different compared to contemporary BLs. I need a drama like this but with the leads both being males.
I was hoping their first kiss and the love confession would happen before he knows the truth and it did!! He dosen't…
This got me thinking that there was such a contrast to Coffee Prince. The ML in Coffee Prince was being such a jerk when he thought the FL was a guy, but here the ML is just like "oh well, I'm still into him"
Really, this drama plays the break-up trope now too? Really? I mean hopefully thats done with in the next ep,…
Lol I feel like I've gone from not caring about the breakup trope to hating it to making my peace with it. I would have probably not cared either way but I'm glad they didn't break them up.
Dang, episode 12 is like the lowest of the low point of your life that you've ever felt, but then your ex who…
I thought I would be more mad at the breakup, but it's always been a fact that Dali will prioritize the gallery over herself. She probably thinks that she's not deserving of JMH because of her debt and adoption scandal, so she thinks that sacrificing herself for the gallery is the best thing for everyone. Poor bby I wanna give her a hug.
Welp guess I'm watching this next week. I hate the angsty break up plots
I literally do not understand why they always have to have a breakup episode. Nobody enjoys those! What's the point of having them when you just make your audience mad
episode one feels so slow, is this worth the watch?
I'm personally enjoying this drama a lot but I agree that it is very slow. It doesn't get better in terms of pacing, but I found that speeding it up keeps me interested in it. It's a very cute drama with two very good leads.
