It feels and seems that way, but they're late bloomers (for realizing their feelings). They're only a few years…
☝️ This is well-put. I agree with this take on them! Also, @celestialocean and @PeachBlossomGoddess's reviews are good, and I thought their description of "NingSang" 😅 was thoughtful and accurate if you want more details.
I have a question for this drama, I watched long time ago, i remember the nany saved a baby in the beginning of…
The baby is Sang Sang. Ning Que and Sang Sang are inseparable and grow up together; she's his servant in Season 1. By the end of Season 1, and in Season 2, she becomes his love interest. There's very little in either season with them being actually "romantic," though; just banter/flirting and cuddling and maybe a hug here or there; they are more chummy than anything else, as they have a close bond from always being together, but almost zero skinship.
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. :)
