I wish this show wasn't on Disney Plus. Netflix or Viki would have been good. Even Prime would be fine.
But it's Wi Ha-jun and Ji Chang-wook. And I love the genre.

Glad to see so many now discovering this great drama. I think there's definitely a hunger there for romance dramas that are grounded in real world issues that don't go off the rails because of the injection of tropes that don't need to be there.

There's little doubt that one of the reasons why this is good is because it is short. Tight and trim is what they should be aiming for with these kinds of projects.

The best thing are the fight scenes. But I'm not sure why Kaoru and Yahiko were in this at all. Just to stop him from killing? And what a waste of a great character like Shinomori Aoshi.

This show is just endlessly frustrating. Just when you think it improves, it makes the characters do the most absurd things just to raise the stakes. Why are people breaking protocol again and again?

A solid production overall. Casting is definitely the key.

You'll be happy with the way it ends.

She has quite a good growth arc.

Subs for Episode 12 are out on VIki.

I enjoyed that scene rather too much as well. I think everyone had so much fun at Cheng Ke's expense. What a pompous ass. What a terrifically staged and executed pi**ing contest.

I love his personality too. I wouldn't call it flirty because it comes from his gregarious personable demeanour. If you look at the way he behaves even with his male acquaintances, he's exactly the same. He exudes a lot of confidence which is very attractive to women.

I'll be really interested in what you think of it if you ever do. :D

I feel like I do nothing but complain about the state of rom coms these days. Some are watchable but this one is actually good.

No to both.

This show is so good. I think this must be the best rom com I've seen by a long mile in a very long time. Too long in fact. The chemistry is great. The direction is right on the money. But the dialogue is just absolutely the best thing about this -- it's dripping with music to the ears especially the banter between the leads.

I especially love how the leads, both attractive people in their own right have all kinds of admirers and many of these don't take "no" for an answer off the bat. This is quite unusual. Temptations and distractions abound as they would in real life and they navigate all that with flair and maturity. It's a test of their resolve and their commitment to each other.

And I'm here for it 100%.

This is a side of Elvis Han I haven't seen before. I like it.
Don't usually care for office dramas but this one's pretty good.

Dong Baek might have an ability but he doesn't have the brains to use it well. Instead he just charges into everything without circumspection.

Just when you think the show can't get any sillier and ridiculous, it outdoes itself in the final episodes. An interesting premise not well served by a very weak script. Has the usual problems with filler and overuse of flashbacks. The motivations of the Big Bad doesn't make a whole lot of sense once the dust has settled. Everyone has grievances but the retaliations are disproportionate.
Zheng Yecheng does his best with terrible dialogue but his co-star struggles to give a consistent performance as the stoic cop.
Entertaining in parts but as a whole, lots of suspension of disbelief is needed.

I don't think divorce will feature. Death perhaps.

Well, that's a sign of good writing.

I don't think GWTW was an inferior story but it was a more cynical one. As you've noted in the context of the American South and the civil war in the 1800s the characters would often lack self-awareness especially if they're used to living it up. Elites have a tendency to have their heads in the clouds.
