Thanks for your insights!

Thanks for your reply!

Yes, I saw that "evil edit" move. So disappointing, as I was hoping to see some good friendships form even if there wasn't any strong couples forming. I'm not excited by what I saw in the Ep. 2 preview where all the girls seemed captivated by the new guy. It was giving me flashbacks to HS4 where all the guys liked the same girl, which made things very boring.
I agree with you that Heart Signal China really improved things when they expanded the cast size to 12 people. It's so much more satisfying to follow multiple couples, for me, anyway.

I need some clarification. Are the main leads lesbian characters or not? I'm trying to make a plan to watch list for myself of dramas with lesbian characters and I'm not sure if this drama qualifies, despite the fantasy kiss. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, it is Heart Signal version 2.0 I was hoping it was a totally new program. Hopefully, they have a new PD at the very least, after the total crapfest that was Heart Signal 4.

For real, Heart Signal China is 1 billion times better than Heart Signal Korea. At least in China Version we can see multiple couples. I tuned in because I thought Heart Pairing was a totally new show, unrelated to Heart Signal. But yeah, unfortunately I can see the same old HS tropes creeping back in here. Will stay for the Italy episodes at least as I'm hoping we get some sightseeing dates. It seems a shame not to have a day trip to Florence, at least, since they are in Tuscany.

Sadly, both of those couples broke up. They are not together anymore.

Thanks for the information. I don't know what happened to Li Ming De. Perhaps others here in the forum might know.

Thanks for the update!

The drama apparently working on AI Face-swapping for supporting cast member Li Ming De. His role now played by a new actor. Rumor for March or April 2025 release.

Thanks for the information!

Are there any side couples in this drama? I like dramas with multiple couples.

Poster above found article saying she got married and had a child in 2020, and has left the entertainment industry.

Thanks for this update. I was wondering what happened to her. I hope she will return to acting someday in future.

Post on Reddit says it is available on OneShort app under the title Hard to Soothe the Heart
Also available on Dramabox app under the title Heart of Obsession

Drama available at YouTube with English subs. See spoiler.

Any updates for this drama? I know the director is currently shooting "Zhu Yu." Has this drama completed filming?

Watched this drama because of the main leads, and once again CFT and DGZ do not disappoint with their on-screen chemistry. The script was just okay. It had potential and all the actors did their best, but it was weak in several areas. That said, I enjoyed the rom com set up and was grateful for the happy ending, however rushed it felt. I think the rom com genre suits this pair. I would love to see CFT and DGZ work together again with a much better, solid script that can showcase their acting skills and not just rely on their natural rapport with one another and their ability to provide good love scenes. I'd love to see these 2 together in a regular drama. I sometimes think about how great it would be if this pair could be in a drama directed by the king of the Mini Dramas, Zeng Qing Jie. (Of course, he will direct DGZ in an upcoming project, but without Dawn Chen.)

Is this drama a Girls Love? I'm getting contradictory messages on other forums. It seems just one of those "rich teens doing bad things" type of dramas. Can anyone clarify what the GL content is, if any? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info. I checked the list of shows coming to Amazon Prime in my region and Scandal of Chun Hwa wasn't listed. So I think it may be available in India only. Hopefully, some other platforms might get it later with quality subs. I keep requesting at Viki.
