Becasue it was Flora and Luke. People know Luke is the type of person who can keep personal and professional life separate (there won't be bias from him for his girlfriend) and they also noticed how self-reliant and dignified Flora is. So, they did not report it to the higher authorities. In a way, it can also be seen as Luke using his connection. Tracy is on Luke's side from the beginning. Of course, she is willing to brush off his one mistake. Such utilization of connection is very common in corporate places btw.
It would be a problem if higher ups (the board) got a hint of it. But the matter was suppressed before that. So, of course it didn't cause much problems.
I just cannot enjoy Miles in Romantic dramas, it seems. I like the FL since The Double and Kunning Place so gave it a try.
It was interesting till ep 14, as soon as they get together, the plot pretty much falls apart, gets really boring.
UNPOPULAR OPINION but i really enjoyed the dynamics of the 2nd couple, Yan An and You An. In the boring 2nd half, only they made me continue. Enjoyed the denial of feelings, subtle angst and overall slowburn that these two served.
they made such a big deal about office romance being prohibited, especially between a superior and his/her subordinate…
Because of Flora's insecurity and self-respect. She came to Beijing to stand on her own two feet, make something of herself. However, whenever a woman is successful in her career, people tend to whisper "sleep her way up" most of the time without any evidence. Now imagine people finding out that she was actually dating her superior!!! All her hardwork would go down the drain and people will only have one conclusion, something which is a nightmare for any woman who has even an ounch of self-respect.
It’s not about long distance though is it? WSB literally is willing to sacrifice everything for JYJ and he just…
It is really not that deep tho! Isn't it common sense for a 30 years old that your partner wouldn't want to be indebted or a burden to you forever? They keep repeating that "I left his hand for my dream"- acting like either the relationship stays or the career! As if both cannot work at the same time. It's clearly the makers forcing a breakup, following the kdrama cliche. I don't hate clichés. I dislike it when they are poorly written as this one where people can see the reason behind the separation is goofy af!
Also, if they really NEED a breakup years after being separated, maybe they should never get back together.
Still clueless why Hyeri or HIY would choose a script as silly as this one!
The second couple is literally the only saving grace of this drama. However i am damn sure if they were given more screen time, the makers would somehow end up finding ways to ruin them too.
Nah, they are seemingly moving towards a happy ending. That makes the whole separation even more ridiculous because it's cliche poor writing atp. There is no depth, it's just the last dramatics before the finale. The has-to-have-a-breakup before a Happily Ever After.
This drama suffers from a seeious case of couples shaking, crying, throwing up over non-existent problems. The 3rd couple with one night stand suffers severely from such a case. Now, to add to my great annoyance, the lead pair has also joined them. What do you mean you have to make a choice between your partner and your dream? How are a person and an aspiration two alternative options? Why do 30 years olds behave like people cannot chase their goals while being in a long distance relationship. They are not freaking teenagers!
What they are trying to do is create angst over silly issue, which does little to make the viewers feel bad for them, instead ends up making it all seem ridiculous.
All this bs about a true emperor when Mao is just far from it. All his ways have been paved by his sister, Wuyi and Jiayu. I don’t understand why they keep insisting on Mao becoming an emperor.
I really enjoyed this show and the chemistry between FL and ML was lovely. They played their roles very well and…
I think that voice is intentionally done. . She is supposed to be so overly dramatic that she comes off as fake. That was needed to make Ji Bozai distrust her at the beginning.
So ive finally completed all 29 episodes and it was nice watch but i think my favourite episodes were definitely…
That's a great aspect you have pointed out. I think we all know the reason behind this less exploration. These dramas are marketed for the female audience to fulfil their wish of a man who will be on the verge of insanity during their separation. This leads to such misogynistic exploration of the FL who had no help and lost the only person who became her home. They literally glossed over the fact that she had nightmares for 10 years of him lying in a pool of blood with a knife stab. It is briefly mentioned during one of their playful quarrels while the actress mentioned and explained it during an interview.
I think it's an unpopular opinion but this drama has one of the most realistic reasons for a break up. I mean it doesn't seem like a silly breakup or a stupid breakup just to drag the plot. Like I actually understand why the grandfather would blame the innocent FL (it is quite evil but parents do behave like that, especially the overbearing ones who like to displace their guilt of not taking care of their child by blaming somebody else.). And Anyone in Zhou Wan's place would break up like she did. That "smooth and easy-going" life that the granfather says LuXixiao is used to, is bound to generate guilt in Zhou Wan who has always felt guilty towards him for dragging him in her problems. The grandfather hits her where it hurts the most. She could not live with herself if she still remained with LuXixiao and if that resulted in him having to experience the slightest of trouble. That stab wound may not hurt him after some years but it haunts her to the point she has nightmares about it for 10 years. So, i am always confused when people blame Zhou Wan ir call it an unnecessary breakup

Even The Double had a slowww but very impactful romance. Is it like that?
