The synopsis made it seem interesting enough but it was nothing like I expected. I pushed through and was trying…
I agree with your first point. Three years into C-drama, if I’m not attracted (intelligence and/or looks), I move on or make a mini version. It’s hard to hold my attention now since the newness has gone. As for the FL actress, she was always the mean girl in costume harem roles. I’m currently watching her in Never too late and she is great. Funny and kind. I like her acting in this drama too. Reminds me of sword and brocade minus an attractive ML. Or Xanxi minus a sharp grow on you ML. It’s hard to watch an airing harem drama. I’ll keep reading the comments to see.
She is radiant. Lights up. I don’t think plastic surgery can create that. It’s inner beauty. The only other actor like this is Wang An Yu. I know many won’t agree but Julia Roberts was like this in the day. Her smile transformed her face from within thru her eyes, smile, and complexion. Pretty rare.
Does anyone have knowledge of the novel on which it is based? I find it interesting and moving to read so many…
The comments never mentioned a novel. It being a Mango TV drama it’s most likely from an original script. Mango TV may be known for their machine subtitles, but their storylines always are different and entertaining.
Just viewed the tragic ep 12. In hindsight, her engagement should have been kept from her. She was raised in a male military household. Separated from them for many years. Only to return to that piece of news. She needed to be nurtured under the sister-in-law’s care. Grow up first. Extreme choices resulted in extreme outcomes. Crazy.

I’m on ep 5 and am loving this drama. High production. CGI is top notch. The acting too. The ML and FL are total opposites even though they’re around the same age due to their situation. She’s spoiled, he’s matured. Thanks to all the neggie nancies out there that brought it to my attention.
Enjoying this drama. Sharp female lead. Soft-hearted ML. Women fighting for success in the workplace. One of those made for tv dramas with my fav older actors and Bai wearing Harry Potter glasses 😁
