Sarang Yahhh

I dropped NES too... the leads just annoyed me for some reason so I couldn't get into them...

she annoys me too but I try to finish most of hers cos they are good, I just find myself fwd her scenes 😆

she's not known as Janice anymore? it used to be on her profile.

so effortless... at the var with his friends, see how he was sitting?! like, just let me sit here all laid back in my mysterious aura while I casually sip 😆😁 Director def knew the assignment 😆

ohh from the perspective, let's say of a mother, if my daughter was to be with someone like that, def a red flag. Don't forget we have the benefit of seeing his microexpressions and his actions behind the scenes with her. On the surface, all his actions, calling her incompetent without seeing what she's capable of first... a boss pushing the boundary with a subordinate when she's clearly said no, a boss pushing the boundary when there's a clear inbalance of power... the red flag tag is def fair... however, I am atm very biased towards this gorgeous well-dressed, smooth chest, muscly back hunk of a man who is, at every turn, begging her with those bedroom eyes 😊😁😁

Usually... men wearing shirts unbuttoned like this with a chain peering thru is a turn off for me, major sleaze... but ask me why I keep rewatching from ep 1 just to see it over & over again on my man Luan Nian 😊😆

Initially I thought Zhi Tao woukd be a pushover and the typical too meek to speak new graduate at the office. While she may appear like that, her inner strength does come through and I like that. She was going to get coffee for that colleague who asked only because she thought it was something newbies do. It highlights her practical, down-to-earth nature. She isn't being weak or subservient, she is simply navigating office norms as a beginner. However, when he pressed her about work, she was confident and didn'tback down. She may be quiet but she is fundamentally capable. Loving her gentle nature, but with a backbone!

JBR really has no business being this sexy... goddammn 😍😍😍

that was quite disappointing for me

I've just started and I actually think this is her stronger role yet. But then again am only at ep 7. I'm just glad they didn't filter her face to be the perfect glow that they do of late.

Most annoying character - Li Ting... Wu Yu Heng plays exactly the same character in Rise of Ning and is just as annoying 😑

Thanks for that! I dropped at ep 4 nasically due to the same reasons. I agree with your opinions of the MC too. I feel Hyeri's best performance was in MRIAG. HIY is just blah, he's not ML material for me.

What a ride! The chemistry from the MC was on point with butterflies fluttering. They were natural and truly depicted the innocence and naivety of first love along with the pain. What also stood out for me was the desperation of Park Tae Yang for love. The trauma of being abandoned as a baby being felt right into adulthood together with its lasting impacts. The trope occurs in most dramas of course but this is where I felt it most. PJH was phenomenal.

no, he's on a lil later I think as he's one of the ML's officers... try ep 8 he's Cpt Di in red but he's better looking in his other battle gear 🤗😄😂

On top of that, you really can't judge it by today's standards... mind you, I'm very guilty of looking at this drama through Rose coloured glasses and forgiving so many things but I love it.

they both died

It'd be nice to see the same actors... would then see how much they've grown as artists.

there's also a Chinese movie with Zhao Lusi but never as good as this one.

Best thing about this drama is my introduction to Huang Zu Xin as Nian! First time watching him and he's hot!

What did you think of the casting while reading the novel? Did they pick the right actors you reckon?
