Noticed the topic on inclusion of romantic subplots (or not) weirdly becoming a heated debate here lol. I would…
But I feel this is at the level in between Stranger and Life (didn’t watch Grid)… I would classify Life as subtle, or more of a hint. Stranger is honestly almost non-existent, I never quite noticed whilst watching it, I personally thought they were more like best friends/commaderies. SO….. it will depend how the final 2 eps go. It could end like Life. They didn’t get together in the end, it was just more of a hint that they will likely get together after that final scene…
I’m just dying to watch the final 2 episodes now!! This is perfect for binging, which is wot I should have done….. 😱🤦🏻♀️
I want romance too! I’m a sucker for the bodyguard romance cliche…. 🤣🤣🤣 it’s defo not happening…
I loved it for Stranger, I thought it was just on point, same for Life…. Same screenwriter. She usually has like very little to almost no romance for her works….. BUT for this one I would love for them to actually get tog…. 🤣🤣🤣
"Let's remove all the men and see what happens"... a totally unrealistic story how a group of women go from street…
I think they got inspiration from Japan’s wagashi…. Which has a long history and is still a tradition preserved although no longer as exclusive as before.
I want romance too! I’m a sucker for the bodyguard romance cliche…. 🤣🤣🤣 it’s defo not happening though with this screenwriter. It will be nothing more than subtle undertones….
This is so good, com’on MDL ratings, plz go a bit higher!!!
Am I the only one having wishful thinking of a bodyguard romance trope……? lol, I love a cliche for once….. JJH and HHJ plz give me romance…. Not just subtle undertones. Pleaaaaseee…. 😍😍😍 but given the screenwriter penned Stranger, I doubt my wish will come true…. 😢
Damns man…. HHJ’s role is so attractive here. All the men at the police station had to bow down and accommodate a lady, a woman….. how refreshing to see people fear a woman in power….
In reality she didn’t do any of those, so those were just rumours because she is very pretty, and she dresses up flawlessly in everyday which is very out of the norm in a small village.
BUT… I would say she is very smart and manipulative all along. Hence her relationship with the ML is very complex….
Ummm… it was sorta like a betrayal….? Emotions wise it was complicated and intense because the other party is always kept in the dark, a lot of things were not openly communicated. Hence the mystery/thriller tag…..
Her face. Gosh. Tong Yao really really looks like Zhang ZiYi…. They have very different physiques though. She reminds me of a tall ZZY….
The author of the novel also wrote the novel of Better Days… novel is really short, only 31+1 chapters…. But damns, the novel is intense in terms of emotions…. Not so sure if I’m going to continue watching this after reading the novel. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks!! I’m defo waiting until episode 10 is out before watching. Think 7-8 would kill me with an elevated heart rate and curiosity with the wait in-between.
I find the FL here very intriguing as well….. like most of the dramas nowadays have a FL who is very strong, independent but always tries to strive for perfection, kind-hearted, have it all….
The FL here is beyond that, she’s so unique, mysterious, dark, cold, ambitious, self-centered but also shows that she fears, is flawed, has nothing aside from her work, no family, no romance, and not even a house etc….. I still can’t quite figure her out yet…. Love it.
I think he's more handsome in here and looking very very natural. I think it's the weight changes and makeup.
I actually don’t think it’s surgery.… do human facial bones also shift gradually as we age? Or maybe it’s the facial muscle and fat. I don’t know, he defo looks very different in Hotel King and he also has a shirtless scene there. He already has 6-pack there… quite similar to his scene in Tale of the Nine-Tailed, I actually think he is more buffed in TotNT…
Honestly speaking I definitely wouldn’t have thought he was good looking if I had watched Hotel King first. But like in Goblin and Tale of the Nine-Tailed he was like wow… lol. 😮 esp in TotNT….. but he has a very different hairstyle there. I only clicked on Hotel King after out of curiosity….. didn’t even complete 1 episode.
he's like the opposite of the emperor from Love like the Galaxy. That guy was the best. best uncle, best emperor.
lol, but the character in LlTG was rather unrealistic…. They made that role very unconventional and different…. The guy was super sweet and hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣
Most notable Emperors in Mainland history, esp those that ruled for long were mostly wary of their own sons, brothers etc…. Heck, even those that didn’t rule for long actually.

Hopefully more people will watch it.
The way advanced tech is used here is relatively feasible, realistic, partially thanks to the budget, and frankly quite smart….
Just realised this is the same screenwriter who penned Stranger and Life….
