It wasn't confusing at all. I loved every episode and every scene and it made sense. And from the beginning, it was understood that he was adopted. Just a little background on me; after 5 years of being C-Drama obsessed, I am sorta burning out and taking a break, but because of Esther Yu, I had to watch SAL. And it hooked me from Ep 1 and I thought it was heat off the charts, which I love and the characters and the whole bad boy good girl trope and the racing and well everything except for the consummation didn't follow the heat/chemistry index they had throughout. Oh well. What I'm saying is, without my waning interest lately in the dramas, I ate this drama up and want to see a costume collab with them in the same serious vein as Journey to You. Anyway, I totally agree with you.

The only complaint I have, is with all the heat that came from this drama, episode after episode, the director for whatever reason, downplayed the consummation. It could have heated up a notch or two if they had just had him lay her on the bed, he takes his shirt off, it gets heated and then pans away to the next morning. But nooooo, we were deprived of that one scene that would have brought the index up even higher. lol Anyway, that's my opinion. For what it's worth. ha

Yeah I finally found it on KISS.

Why can't I find this on IQ?

That's fair. An FYI, the further I go the better I feel. I think what I'm coming to the realization is that the drama itself is the same trope that we have seen tons of times and it's getting boring to me. I'm even lackluster about SWL whom I love. sigh... I guess dramas aren't what they used to be for me. Thank you for your respect.

"an opinion is an opinion" so why is everybody blowing all of this out of proportion? It's becoming quite tedious. I don't like her acting in this drama.... I have the freedom of speech on my side and I never dissed her physical appearance. so let's end this long drawn out story. Respect.

I appreciate that. I just wish human beings are allowed to critique without being called a hater. It's two totally different things.

That's fair.

Right. It's the same trope as hundreds of others.

Again, like I've commented on other posters using the term "haters, hating, hatred", it's being misused compared to opinions or critiquing. Different.

Hating? or simply a critique on her acting. This gen needs to understand and respect the difference.

Whenever someone has a difference of opinion regarding just about anything in the world today, it's called hating. Whatever happened to critics in the entertainment industry? The term "haters" is a flaw that is totally different than voicing an opinion or critiquing. (I commented on her acting, not her body type or her looks or her hair, and so on and so on). But thank you.

Fair, but if he would be given better roles maybe he can show his skills. Such as in The Bionic Life, Find Yourself, Go Ahead, and Everlasting Longing. Too many times, good actors are stereotyped and given the same characters by their companies/management. Then they start to disappear such as Xing Zhao Lin did. As for Angel Zhou, to me, she is annoying in this role and maybe it's the directing, but right now, she's not all that. I am on Ep 10, so I will give it some time. Thx for your considerate reply.

Song Wei Long is too good of an actor to play opposite this substandard actress. Her acting is stilted and annoying. Not worthy of the others that far surpass her in delivery, acting, and emotion.

Oh but somewhere there really are people who are experiencing this same exact scenario. lol

NOT correcting my dear 182, just breaking it down to a clean 10 year gap.

Yes I saw what you said. And true about the 30 vibe. I was essentially breaking it down to the 10 year gap issue. ;-)

Thank you TwoThousandThree.

I think it's brave of Michelle Chen to do this age-gap drama becuz of the 20 year gap in real life. But if we are all of age when we find true love, why let age stop us from living love and our truth? Right?

IKR? I am at Ep 22 and I am going really slow becuz there is only a few left and I don't want it to end. He Yu is one of the hottest MLs right now. I can't wait to see how he does his costume drama coming up. sigh...
