Sarang Yahhh

Up to ep 4 and the FL is annoying me... she seems to act the same in her roles which I've seen... the aggressive strong girl who bickers with the ML at first but after a few roles, she should be growing as an actor you'd hope...

I watch one episode of this version then immediately go to the 2019 to make myself feel better! Someone should combine the best bits of each version and that can be the final version of this series cos I see there's another one coming out! Gotta say though, LZ in this version has a beautiful smile, when she does smile :)

I very much prefer this character to the 2019 adaptation... I wonder if they'll play the arc where he likes LZ as well in this one...

Love that the 2021 adaptation is also bringing attention to this 2019 one as it truly deserves more recognition.

The more I watch of Mingrui the more you gotta love him. He was so decisive in rejecting Xingqi it was refreshing after the wishy washy of every other character... his smile is beautiful too!

I felt the same way. The FL felt very docile and monotone with no uninteresting.

Heartbreakingly sweet

whaatt? totally disagree... Chinese version FL is much worse with the cringey acting

Only watched it for SKJ, FL acting is good but I really wasn't interested...

2 years later and still no clear link?

My heart fluttered then crashed with the ending even if it was realistic and I'd already taken an optimistic view of it. Reminded me a lot of Before Sunrise in a way

That's what I was waiting to be explained too...

Loved this show, even if only for the FL's strength

Wanted to keep watching but FL's acting annoyed me to the max

Glad I didn't listen to the reviews and watched this. Loved this show, first time I've seen the FL and second time watching ML, I didn't really like Backstreet Rookie. The steamiest shower kiss alone can save this show from being a really bad one haha
Favourite throughout the whole series? the niece!!!

Why did he break up with her? Am up to ep 12 and it's a bit too slow

Right?! so adult like and mysterious, gave his character a bit of an edge :) Just a different hairstyle and he's grown up lol

Pretty much all kdramas are predictable nowadays and most plots are the same. I felt quite good after watching it, not bored, not frustrated, just right, I guess you can't go in with too much expectations

I actually thought after reading all the reviews that it'd be totally crap but I was pleasantly surprised, ended up rating it 8/10

They're aesthetically perfect, aren't they?! He's super hot
