Pretty much. The thing is usually I'd feel something for these people as their setting up the threads and I don't. With CEO and wife I couldn't help but wonder if he even likes his wife and kid since we have zero investment into his family life so far and he seems to always have a poker face. With brother it was the same thing, does he actually have any investment into that stupid burger joint? Does he actually want it to succeed? Should I have been invested in chef running off with the money?

If the watcher is supposed to care about why they make the stupid/malicious choices later on we should have some emotional connection to them to show what's at stake for them.

😮‍💨 Right now I think I have more of an emotional connection to the convenience store musician and his brother than CEO and brother.

We keep getting all these small little plot threads with side characters that don't seem to relate right now. For instance why should we care if CEO bro's chef seemed to run off with his cash register money while telling delivery dude to collect money that had already been paid electronically at the time of delivery?

Lmao because just like the brother all the people in the comments just thirst for power and can't imagine that someone would NOT want to be the ruler. 🙄

Yeah everyone standing around twiddling their thumbs was almost funny in my book. That and the fact that among them were supposed to the other leaders of the 6 realms but the guys standing around just looked like Heavenly soldier extras to me 😂

Obviously I'm in the minority but I didn't mind Xiu Ming's screen time since I felt it was used to wrap up what was happening in the Heavenly Realm. That mixed with the clear ending of FL properly descending to the Mortal Realm and finding ML and I'm as satisfied as I feel I can be.

Editing.... like the 1-2 second black transitions at least once an episode. They always jarred me.😮‍💨

🤣 He basically WAS a golden retriever just not as smart as one. Should have had a scene of SFL rubbing his head as some point to complete the image.

I don't think I have ever cried watching a show as far back as I can recall but tears started leaking down my face on episode 8... 😭

"Why are you wearing a white scarf Grandma?"
"I want you to remember me."

Sigh, no English subtitles. Thought it sounded interesting.

Right now it's subbed to ep. 6

It needs to go down as one of the best things I've seen in a drama recently. I'd try to describe it for anyone reading the comment but nothing I'd say would make sense unless you've seen it for yourself 🤣

Based on the first 6 episodes this seems to be really good so far. I'm not entirely sure how they got that description though as she's not a web-toon blogger or livestreamer in any way so far though she does seem to do painting on the side.

If I had to rewrite the synopsis based on these episodes I'd say:

Xiao Jing travels back 200 years to the year 2223 in search of a now extinct plant that can cure his dying sister. In the present he assumes the identity of Xiao Jing from the current timeline, a doctor, researcher and teaching assistant for a Chinese Medicine Teaching University.

Song Yi Ju has always been able to get her grandfather's research student Xiao Jing to follow along with her plans, doing what she wants and allowing her to slack off from her studies in class. Suddenly though she notices that he seems like a different person lately as he thwarts her every attempt. No longer will he write her sick notes or help her cheat, now he's assigning her extra homework, throwing away all their junk food for health food, and even giving her a 9pm curfew.

When Xiao Jing finds out he accidentally traveled into the past three months too early will he be able to survive his time with Song Yi Ju?

Weird I am too. Do you have standard VIP or Premium? Maybe that's the difference?

Weird, it's only showing first 6 for me.

Cute enough of a watch when watching on 1.5x speed but anything slower makes this drag. Abrupt transitions make it seem more like a 10 min short drama than an almost full length one. Finally, there are many unresolved questions surrounding her dad since he seems to have known about Shen Mingxi before learning about him per the scene where she's leaving the house in the rain.

Would have been funny if they'd added in a bit about the number of flashbacks the ML and FL were constantly having. Add in a bit more meta that way... lmao

I swear most of the time for break-up tropes I just want to hit one or both of the characters but this time I just don't have it in me... he KNOWS she would never give up on him willingly but he also knows that not only is the company her dream, she has multiple people depending on her for their livelihoods as well. 😭😭😭

Honestly haven't watched Devine Destiny but as for why it might have a lower score currently it has just under 400 ratings on here whereas this one has just under 1200. A lower rating weighs more when there are less ratings so if the drama really is that good as you're saying it should increase the more people watch it. Likewise I could still see this one going down a bit more over time, maybe to 7.8.

Feel like this was spot on, even with the exact episode it starts being like "are you for real still dragging this on?"

Lol there wasn't enough time for them to sleep together even if the ML was that type of guy since he literally spent the entire night cleaning up after her repeatedly throwing up.

It's pretty common when you go to the hospital as a female to have a pregnancy test done because until they determine that they may not be able to prescribe proper treatment and in early stages not everyone would already know.

But when she didn't know what the term was and had to look it up just to find out it was a pregnancy test of course he was going to take that opportunity to tease her.
