EPISODE 8: ML starts grumpily "dating" FL. Grumpily means, every time he does something nice to her, he says to her gruffly, that it's not for her, it's for the work's sake. It culminates into situation like after he obviously buys a present for HER, saying it's for their team, she asks him to let her treat him to a drink once, also saying it's for their team's sake. Girl learned to adapt, LOL. EPISODE 9: ML goes out of his way to demonstrate that he would never like a woman like FL (it's a bit childish, actually... yet no one openly laughs to his face) when he thinks that she supposed that he likes her. Then, he is shaken when he learns that it's her who likes him. But the damage is done, he already hurt her feelings. It reminded me of episode 1. EPISODE 10: ML is invited on a blind date with a "tall, fair, supermodel", which he accepts, saying in front of FL that he should not pass on "high quality woman". Implying that FL is "low quality woman". Harsh. Poor girl. In the revenge of fate, the blind date girl turns out to be a 30 yrs old woman who was paired with ML's actor in 2016 'Something about 1 Percent' remake. I think I described how close to "tall, fair, supermodel" she is in my review for that drama... So, I believe this was a deliberate joke by the producers:-D Meanwhile, FL & FL's friend are both girls disappointed in men. So, they go on a girls night out. On which they do A LOT of dancing & singing. It looks MASSIVELY exhausting. Especially to do while crying drunk:-D These koreans' stamina really is something else. EPISODE 11: ML is wondering why FL is not over the moon from being courted by a high quality man like him. It starts getting annoying. Then he himself has showed FL less "quality" side of him, talking to her while drunk as a skunk. She could see that he is nothing better, actually. And so could the viewers: even the silly side character, whose mother died, proven to have more depth than him. Are we supposed to cheer for such ML to get the girl? Meanwhile, FL spends a lot of time with the guy whom I comletely skip in his separate scenes, who is ML's younger brother (FL doesn't know that yet, obviously the writer thinks epi 11/16 too early to reveal this original surprise), who is too young for her and keeps calling her "Teach". I really don't know which is worse. Heelloo, are there no other guys our FL could date. EPISODE 12: The formerly annoying silly side guy keeps having the most poignant scenes. ML is someone that we forgot he's supposed to be ML. ML's brother luckilly shares no scenes with FL this time, so I can blissfully skip him again. FL's friend is too self absorbed to really talk to FL, so FL keeps talking to virtual assistant in her phone. It's a trend in k-dramas. People are too self centered to really listen to others, right? So, while 'I Need Romance' 1 & 2 leads still talked to their friends, 'I Need Romance 3' lead talked to stuffed giraffe. Today's lead talk to AI. Episode ending: cringe kiss + good kiss.
EPISODE 1: . ML prefers drinking solo and explains his reasons, and I totally agree with them . Other people except ML go drinking with their BOSS and other people from WORK, showcasing all the reasons why that is not good thing to do for any of them (the boss included) . FL goes out of her way to act friendly with ML and he dismisses her in quite degradory way. I would accept this on co-worker base, but sorry ML has NO CHANCE of becoming her boyfriend in the future (if this drama is supposed to have their romance) EPISODE 2: FL is failing miserably in her job, she is no success. One boy with weirdo-serial-killer haircut, which should prevent him from going outside without a hoodie in any country except Korea, asks for refund because SHE is not pretty enough. While ML, who is super successful, is petty enough to be smirking at FL's misery and offering his mocking comments, while she is already down. EPISODE 3: ML is in totall misconception about what kind of person FL is, but in the end, one can only sympathize with ML here, trying to stay away from people at least in his personal time. ML's brother forcefully comes to live with him, despite it being obvious that ML loves his peace. ML's new "boss" and "colleagues" also come to forcefully drink with him, despite ML openly telling them that he wants to be left alone. They forcibly join him. Who does that? Also we watch ML's brother with his friends. They all act like 15 year olds. ML's brother also suprisingly does not go to ML's class. He takes FL's class (?:-D). One of FL's colleagues keeps mimicking talking to the old walkie talkie, like in 'Signal'. It's annoying, yet it at least proves how stupid Sci-Fi dramas are, when we watch the same stuff without the genre music. It occured to me how it would look like if they re-shooted 99% k-dramas - with the people screaming loud enough to shatter glass during regular conversation, and general overly melo/dramatic behavior - with ML's character put in, covering his ears, or leaving them alone at mid-sentence. EPISODE 4: ML keeps practicing his Drinking Solo, occasionally smirking at other people who overdrink and become too loud and out of it. Why didn't he learn and keeps having his "peaceful me time" at public places that anyone can enter? Why doesn't he at least sit in some secluded corner? (So that people from work can't easily spot him next time:-) Why does he bother to post what he eats on social media? But, he currently doesn't have peace even at home. Because his beloved sibling is there. Who literally starts jumping up and down, learning that ML will be away for the weekend, and he'll have the house for himself. There goes the "Solo" theme of this drama, again. Everyone actually loves being left alone:-D Also, I cheer for ML mentioning KARAOKE, which ALL asians inexplicably seem to LOVE, as torturous thing it actually is. No matter if people doing it are drunk or sober. It's funny to see the montage of other people on the night out, all exhausting themselves with dragging their drunk fellows home, or throwing up. While he just comfortably eats delicacies:-) ML might not be "likeable" lead, but I SO agree with him!:-) EPISODE 5: FL's colleagues start being annoying to extreme. And she goes on some kind of business trip with them. Meaning she's with them day & night. All this is really not worth the money she earns. ML's brother & ML's brother's friends: I completely skip them this episode, and I intend to do so every episode from now on. But then, ML's younger brother starts hitting on FL. While FL is 5 years younger than ML, she is 7 years older than ML's brother. After that encounter, even she gets drunk as a skunk:-D When she started staggering on a street, I wondered whether she will crash into ML in that scene. And of course, there he was, enjoying his "alone time" right in the middle of the street. Because I get how this drama's writer writes, by now:-D Then he has to deal with her when completely wasted, and his facial expressions are priceless. I finally laughed during this drama;-) EPISODE 6: Gee, I am still more open for FL to start dating the prickly ML, than ML's younger brother. Who keeps being inexplicably interested in FL. I skip all the secondary lines, but even the main line is getting pretty stupid. Except from heartily agreeing with ML's drinking solo habits and general views, I don't seem to care about relationships of anyone with anyone, here.
Reading the synopsis: "It was difficult to adapt to life in the northeast, but with the help of a warm northeast girl, Zhao Duo Duo and her friends, he finally got adjusted to the strange place." What's so strange about chinese northeast? Isn't whole China strange?
Sometimes I wish people watching just 1 episode of a drama should be allowed just 1 comment, LOL. Especially those who can't seem to grasp that drama is not a documentary, and that we're NOT dealing with the real life problem, here (when someone starts posting links about REAL life cases, you know you're dealing with an idiot). I'd say run, but we're on the internet, so I'd say clean your view nice & beautiful: go upper right corner to your user icon, select "Friends" (yes, as ironic as that is:-D), click User Search, type: "RestInPeaceMoonbin" or "Kbeauty" and JUST HOVER over +Add Friend, and click "Block User" instead. Does wonders! Your MDL is clean from c..p!:-) Just BEAUTIFUL. ♥
One of my favorites ever I keep watching it over and over. Definitely you should throw any moral compass when…
Also re-watched this one and re-visited even its comments page just for fun... Looks like "Kbeauty", trying to sound intelligent, still has no intel about how many MDL users block him/her LOL
Underrated. Makeup for FLs r so pretty. I’ve watched a lot a lot including most of ZLS, BL, YSX, YZ, ZY, and…
Makeup for MLs r also pretty. Thank god that I am bisexual. I can at least enjoy FEMALE leads in c-dramas. If I wanted some actually attractive MALE then it would be a problem. I find all them long haired dudes GIRLY. And when it's like that, I prefer ACTUAL girls.
Episode 1/Dropped: Okay, this is 3rd drama I am watching with Dai Gao Zheng... I realize that I do NOT find him attractive. Next time, I'm not even opening a drama with him as the lead. China should really stop casting these girly types. We are supposed to believe them the very masculine characters. After this "Mr. Wu" appeared onsreen, I was not sure whether it's a man or woman. They definitely need to stop using the same kind of makeup on both sexes. Gross.
FL's name is originally Ge Xinwei, 9th Princess of Masui, but she exchanges identity with Huang Bei Shuang, Princess of Enaqi.
This happens in episode 1, in fact we first hear both of the ladies full names during their little "exchange ceremony". It's earlier than FL meets any of her 3 fateful men, and it's a willing exchange, btw.
Both girls are beautiful princesses, but they are in different situation. They meet by chance in the middle of the desert and recognize that each of them has a disposition that would suit better to the fate of the other one. So they switch. They decide to do this and never look back.
At first, it's not a good look when we watch the 22 year old ML acting like a problematic CHILD. They do have a language barrier with the FL but it's like he does understand, only does not want to communicate. Like a sulking toddler. Then, he starts communicate with her, but instead of proper talking, he does a lot of quite extreme behavior and lot of yelling. Resulting in FL still treating him morelike a halfwit than someone attractive or dear to her. He then tries to convey that he likes the FL romantically, but the only way he can express it is a lot of running and throwing things around because obviously he could not kiss the then 16 year old Park Shin Hye. So that aspect is not working out. The second-hand embarrassment makes you as a viewer wish that he DID just love her as a brother, after all, THAT could be quite touching story, too. It's not like Lee Wan is any better actor than the underaged FL, so mostly he shoots "psycho-killer" gazes at her so it LOOKS like she was scared into liking him back, lol. And this is when we are 30% in the story (they plant a tree together).
Wow. Drama consisting of THREE episodes and yet super long. A perfectly likeable woman of 40 begins husband hunting just to not be a single maid still living with her mother, you can see she does not have really high expectations and would take any moderately likeable guy, yet she meets weirdo after weirdo (the worst one is the one carrying the 489 number of women he had the "pleasure" of talking to, and there you can think of such high number of women who could have spared their perfectly good evening, it's kinda worse than if he'd go arround carrying a disease), no guy she meets is likeable or attractive enough that you would wish for even a second that she'd end up with him, so with the third episode nearing its end, I simply turned it off. Note: She looks BOMB on the poster.
There should be "Fantasy" listed among the Genres for this drama. The ML of this is a legit sociopath. Then he starts showing romantic interest in FL, because he got transplanted her dead boyfriend's heart. He's got some of his feelings, now. It's not his brain he got, is it? Yet he has some of her dead boyfriend's MEMORIES, too. Which makes him okay as her new love interest I guess, by this drama writer's standards... You know, I am watching 6th episode of this alredy, I haven't watched something korean in a while so it's kind of nice to watch a k-drama in general but, watching it I realize, I don't really care about the main characters. I don't know whether it's Jung Kyung Ho's looks or acting skills, but I don't buy him in the role. And even if I imagine him to be the guy he tries to portray in theory, I don't care about this plot about transplated heart = transplated feelings for the FL. Either way, I don't even cheer for the guy to win her over. I got 40 minutes into episode 6, and when it came to the most crucial & emotional confrontation, I realized I SO don't care and simply turned it off.
Is this supposed to have romantic line or not? She's to marry her super annoying, GAY ex. She's being forced to do it for existential reasons, and still does not want to do it. And I don't blame her;-) Either way, this is really inspiring for me to watch, because the FL is basically me. With the difference, that she smiles at people. I don't. Granted, people are often mean to me for it. She smiles, thinking on the inside how horrible they are, the more sweetly she smiles at them. First I thought great, she's making fun of it, also this way all these people won't make her suffer in revenge for that she dared to not smile at them/back. Like I often experienced. On the other hand, FL who smiles at people can't really get rid of them and their UNWANTED attention/affection for dear life. After episode 2 (two hours) of watching this I felt tired, and just wished FL got rid of all those annoying people surrounding her, and was allowed to just live her life peacefully, at least in her private time. It's enough that she has to put up with the people at work.
Yeah there are several playlists on youtube with poor quality but a litte effort to find. Or make an effort and look for something in your own time like HDTV x264-NGB version or torrents if they exists. Each to their own ability. Either way, it's good to quit this in the middle. It gets old how FL behaves and then the whole story goes too far with all the historical fiction elements and typical chinese viewpoint of the world events.
Synopsis says: "Things start to get complicated when the two sons turn their attention towards her. The first young master, Fu Yun Ting, decides to be her protector while the second young master, Fu Yun Rong, tries to sexually harass her."
You say: "ML is the cold and fierce son of that man."
Can you tell me whether that means ML is the one who decides to be her protector or the one who tries to sexually harass her? :-D
