I am finishing off ep 17- 40 Are you the one? With Zhang Wan Yi. He looks exactly the same here as in the other drama.

Should I start watching it now or wait till it almost ends? How's the writing? I have no qualms about the acting. The cast can act. I just didn't want sloppy or lazy or nonsensical writing?

I was a bit frustrated watching " Are you the one? " however seem to be enjoying it from ep 17- 40 when I can see the flow of the story. So wondering if The rise of Ning is well written etc.? After all its finished ep 20.

That would be an American movie.

This is how it rolls in Kdramas. If its nonsensical, lack sympathy, reused trope, emotionally damaging, has lack of communication and secrets? Then yeah its a Kdrama. Add on more violence from parents? And blame? So much blame? Add that to a Cdrama

Eh? He didn't communicate and kept secrets. Brutal break up.

All standard behaviours from real life pricks. However ifs not s criminal offence. They are emotionally dysfunctional yes but he did no crime. He shouldn't have done what he did but his emotions got in the way of his resolutions to look after the women by himself. I am not saying its right but people do it in real life. Don't give the partner an option.

My mistake. I just saw the writer's works. Now i don't expect a happy ending.⁹

I just watched ep 1-8. What the heck am I watching again?

I am not supporting any of the male leads. All 3 are dysfunctional.

Are we even having a happy ending? How did the marriage talk leak all the way to work?

I do not see how any of them can be together. There is no couple pairing that works. None that screams in love, happiness and new family.

Zilch.

Addit- I just read the comments. JHO is fine. Just because he's not loud or domineering or needy doesn't mean he's bland.

Was it the same writer or you just ranting in general.

The consort or concubines have ranks.- bin. Then their name is changed- the one before- bin. The court ladies have ranks too.
I had the
volume low so
didn't
listen to
too
much
but was
reading some of
the
names
on
screen.
Saguek dramas are too much for me but the general Netflix translations is what leads to confusion because if you listen the importance of the ranks for the Princes is in their name. Why do I know? Back in the dim past when I had too much time doing some translation help I bloody well had to read up the ranks for the royal family. That was an interesting cultural lesson in itself as it explains who everyone was just based on what they were called.



I am not a saguek drama followers. I have been meaning to start this drama based on the reviews.

Its a slow burn tomance. Jumping to ep 22 will spoil the story.

Lol thanks. I will go back nowto look for it.

The hashtag had bank teller female lead. I wanted to confirm it wasn't true.

No thank you. I avoid them like the plague.

I just finished ep 1. She has a PhD and the synopsis said she is a bank teller?

She's got a casual style about her. I won't like the plots of the dramas she is on. However she made me like her characters so much I have ended up rewatching her dramas.

Its her voice too. She isn't shrill. I hate loud screeching or whiney women

Geez. That's kind of scary.

Good god. I have never read anything fitting that sort of description. What the heck kind of novels are they?

Omg. Thanks. By e bye drama even before I started.

Where? I was watching ep 1-30 then ep 39-40.

I must have missed it.

Holy cow. I did a 2N ep 1-30 then ep 39 to 40 based on spoilers.

Wow. I cannot believe the absolute crap I just watched. Thank goodness for fast fw. I kept watching hoping its not as bad as I thought. Wowzer. Why did the actors agree to act in this?

I am internally grateful for the fast fw options.

If you were expecting
romance then yes. However I appreciated how the writers actually fleshed out the relationships between everyone. Its so often neglected in most dramas. I won't remember the strong relationship between the main leads but the one between the friend and Dan Ho. Then the 2 dads. I didn't expect the mothers relationships to be shown in such details. I liked it a lot.

I just came to say I watched ep 16. I really didn't find the drama living up to the cast that they got. I think its the writing.

However ep 15 and 16 have been really good. I would say ep 16 has been one of the best last episode of any drama I've watched. It was heartwarming.
