Question-

I'm considering watching this for HIY but while I can easily enjoy an older-woman younger man romance, I personally tend to avoid student-teacher romances because I'm icked out by the power imbalance and I don't love age gap relationships where the younger person is in a life stage where they're barely an adult. Can I ask how young HIY's character is supposed to be in this? Is he at least a postgrad in his twenties?

Nah the latter half of this drama is pissing me off. Kelan's mother is critically ill and Yu Hao is too busy sulking about being broken up with that he takes shitty care of himself and ends up in hospital himself- and then his uncle makes out like it's Kelan's fault? Yu Hao should be doing everything he can to make life easier for Kelan, including giving her emotional space if she needs it- not making this about himself in this moment.

Gah ep 17 was so sad.

School 2013.

Prison Playbook (maybe? Haven't seen it myself)

Eulachacha Waikiki (centred around 3 male friends though as the synopsis says, they are joined by ladies)

And then dramas which are focussed on close friendship groups which also have a girl in it:
Reply 1988 (friendship group consists of 4 guys and a girl)
Hospital Playlist (friendship group consists of 3 guys and a girl).

This was a warm comforting watch, where you just watch two couples fall in love naturally. 2nd couple especially were literally ideal for each other, a nice change of pace to have a female character know she likes a guy straight away and immediately start creating opportunities for herself with him. (And for the guy to cluelessly and cutely go along with that because he likes her back- he was too sweet!)

Wow this poster + plot summary sound like loads of fun! Looking foward to it.

"Hello Mr Gu (2021)" is a CEO Contract Marriage + "Perfect and Casual (2020)" is a Professor Contract Marriage. BUT I have to mention I only gave those 7.5 ratings and don't really remember them so to me they're good but not amazing dramas.

A workplace-ish related Cdrama which I enjoyed more is:

"Moonlight (2021)": Not CEO-employee but instead she's an employee of a publishing house, he's a difficult author client who she needs to wrangle + act as an assistant for, hijinks ensue. Not contractual dating exactly but they have to live together for reasons lol.

I was enjoying this immensely but then I reached ep 10 / 11 and the tone changes between the light hearted scenes and the violent nature of the new mystery they've introduced is giving me whiplash.

I'm watching this because I like Song Zu Er but I've never seen Z.Tao act in anything and was really worried he would be distracting - but these two have really amazing chemistry with eachother! He's pleasantly surprised me for sure. Truly I normally dislike "time travel but not time travel because of chinese censorship" dramas but in this case I'm really enjoying it because of the leads.

It was so satisfying to watch her say everything I was thinking in the confrontation. You go girl! I also think its good, as she's always admired him like he's on a pedestal but now that she's seen he can be foolish they're on more even footing.

I'm watching this rn and both the main leads did a fantastic job- I recognise the ML from other dramas, but the fact the FL is a newer actress is surprising. At first I was so charmed by how well she acted cat-like in the early episodes but beyond that she's great at the more emotional stuff too. (Also this is the first cat-in-human-form drama that's actually pulled it off for me)

By the same director of To My Star? That's great, can't wait to watch.

Zhai Xiao Wen is great as Li Bing- I'm only 10 eps in and the character is very quiet but I feel like I read 1000 feelings on his face! The actor was so cute and bubbly in Sweet Teeth before so I look forward to him in future roles.

"what, are we here just to eat food?"
"Yes!"

The way Sejeong said "yes" in that scene was so cute I replayed it over and over.

This is such a cute little show, with good characters, and well-casted!

So pleasantly surprised that for once the cheesy "Dating coach" in a drama actually gave *some* good advice (don't draw conclusions, listening is most important etc).

Uh-oh poor Hari in the preview for ep 5 lol! I was sure he clocked her identity after her caller song + the behind the scenes clip, I thought he was just humouring her!

I never watch a drama while it's airing but I just couldn't hold back and I am tuning in- hopefully this will be my weekly shot of silly romcom serotonin each week

I want to start watching this but 40 episodes!? The perfect number of eps to keep good pacing for a show like this is usually 22-26 max. I usually wait for all eps to be out before starting but maybe I'll start watching soon because I never really care for the latter episodes when dramas are this long regardless

I had 0 expectations but this has turned out to be such a cute romcom drama with likable characters.

Wow I didn't connect with Shin Hye Sun at all in 30 but 17, which actually made me put this drama aside for years but now that I've watched it, she's actually brilliant in it.
