Feng Baoyu was adorable and the most loyal friend--he kept surprising me. "Useless, gambling playboy," my foot!…
Finally, I loved how justice won the day, and our characters (Cheng Renqing, Feng Baoyu and of course the ever good and true-hearted Shuai Jiamo) even managed to get the mucky-mucks (by playing their greed against each other) to do what was best for the people by the end.
But the end felt whimsically idealistic and fantastical--when has a government ever lowered anyone's taxes? 🤔😅

Cheng Renqing? LOVED him; he's my hero, and the jaded gem of a lawyer is played with aplomb by Wang Yang.
But one of my unexpected favorites? Magistrate Fang. There's something about the way the actor handled his role--I thought he was hilarious and somehow endearing and infuriating all at the same time. 😅 His facial expressions were everything. The actor rocked his part, as did everyone, really.
It was a refreshingly different drama, to say the least! Artistically filmed with beautiful scenery and locations, it somehow managed to keep my interest 90% of the time despite all the boring math, taxes, and bureaucracy. I actually think a second watch would help a ton because then maybe I'll get more of the lingo and plot points that escaped me and were lost on me for this watch. I also liked the lack of emphasis (which I'm used to seeing in dramas and which felt noticeably absent here) on making characters beautiful and perfect-looking. That was part of what made it refreshing! The characters here felt like normal people.
Professor Ryu is so adorable in this episode; no wonder Sabi is following him around like a loyal puppy. 😅 Poor Jaeil, having trouble getting his girl's attention!
Our little coworker/in-law romance is so cute; sometimes they're too cute and cutesy I can't watch! I need to see some serious Dr. Ku in the OR to offset the giggly, shy, awkward dude he becomes around OIY alone (but who can blame him). 😅
The Ku brothers' parents need to host parenting seminars or a podcast or something--their sons are gems!
Yeah, the amnesia trope was unnecessary, and came out of nowhere, imo! Just let them be happy for an episode.…
Hm, it's been a while since I've seen this, so I don't remember all the details super well, but I just remember feeling like it made so much of their journey feel fruitless since they had to start over. I found it frustrating and out of nowhere. 🤷♀️ Just my take, though!
I know, there isn’t any romance, but do the female lead and the male lead have a good chemistry? I mean, do…
They feel like a friend trio of mutual respect and collaboration. They're on the same wavelength about what's important to them, and trust the others to make good calls. I like that several times even Dr. Baek will take the nurse's (FL's) advice or suggestions because she is so experienced at the hospital. That sort of dynamic. :)
TFF seems to take place largely in their shared apartment. Clips and edits I've seen didn't pique my interest, so, I haven't tried it. 🤷♀️ I am not as big a fan of modern romance Cdramas from what I've seen (even those super highly rated). I did like Hidden Love, but I also had issues with it that I've also seen in other modern Cdramas, so I'm not as motivated to watch more. But I can agree that BJT is great. :)
