This is why one can not trust MDL ratings. This is a very solid show. At least 8.5, up to at least 9.0 rating.
You are exactly right. I also called the fact that the episodes which were not aired yet had ratings of 1.0 in my earlier comment. Totally unacceptable for MDL to allow that.
Again, you are absolutely correct to call the unsavory MDL users to rate this superb fine drama 1.0 just because of their hate. I do not like sushi, but that does not mean I will give sushi restaurants a one star. As a matter of fact, I won't rate them at all simply because I do not go there, so how could I even rate them. So unethical of these people to purposely underrate a great drama.
I just hope that people who are interested in this type of drama ignore the rating and pay attention to the actual viewers who have watched this lovely drama.
BTW, what is S+ ratings you have mentioned in several of your comments. Thank you in advance.
And, thank you for your great reply as well. Keep posting these comments and hopefully more like minded viewers like us will find this gem.
This is truly a hidden gem for those viewers who enjoy a mature story and strong female character. The romance is extremely subtle, yet for me very likeable.
It's not a heavy romance, idol actors, or typical drama. Not that there is anything wrong with those. This is just something different and very enjoyable for a few of us who like variety. If you enjoyed The Story of Ming Lan you would like this too.
Definitely watch both if you like strong female centric dramas. I am truly enjoying this, very mature and adult oriented production.
Even though I love romance, I am totally OK with lack of or light romance. This drama so far only has a hint of romance between the two leads. But, we are right in the middle, it's a 42 episode drama. I believe the light romance is about to start.
Dear fellow MDL viewers of this great drama, please rate the individual episodes you have watched so that the ratings on this drama correlates more to the actual rating this drama deservers..
Some unsavory MDL users have given super low ratings to all the episodes including the ones yet to air to bring down the ratings for this fabulous drama. Please rate the episodes you have seen as you see fit. However, please refrain from rating the unseen ones. Two wrongs don't make it right.
Also, I have no idea how some viewers have given reviews to this drama and marked it as "completed." Again, two wrongs do not make it right.
Really wish MDL correct this anomaly and discourage these practices so that we the viewers can have more faith in reviews and ratings.
Even though there's nothing original or exceptional in this drama, imho it's truly an excellent and engaging one. I believe 1st and foremost it's because of the excellent directing. Then, fantastic actors and a very good story.
Without a good director, no matter how excellent the story is, or has many excellent actors in it, it will definitely fall apart. Now add a very good story and many excellent actors all around, then it becomes a success. BTW, the support cast is really fantastic, the good, the bad, and the ugly characters are all portrayed by stellar actors. Kudos to them all.
When I watch these episodes, the time goes by so fast and I end up really sad that I have to wait another days for only two more episodes.
Oh this is not the first time . Not at all surprised .
Yeah, I figured this must have been going on for a while. I just noticed it though. Didn't think it was possible. Surprised from programming side that it is allowed. It's an easy fix.
IT'S AWESOME 😎 PLEASE SUGGEST ME DRAMAS LIKE THIS ! II ALREADY WATCHED flourished peonya dream of splendor…
There are lots of drama which are similar or close to this one. Do you see the recommendations section under this drama? Those are good. Don't mind the ratings as they are nor very accurate.

There are tons more and hopefully others can recommend more.
This is truly a solid production so far with 12 episodes in.
On one hand, I am glad I am watching it as it airs because there would be no way I could not binge watch it and get nothing else done. I am the caregiver to my ailing dad and have to take care of all household matters. On the other hand, waiting for new episodes have become a torture.
In my opinion and wild guess, the low rating goes beyond the lack of romance so far. Something else is at play and I have no clue what it is. This drama is at least an 8.5 to 9.0 range.
It's always like that at the beginning of a drama, people whom expectations are not met will give bad ratings,…
You are absolutely correct, I have noticed that too. That's why I wish there were two types of ratings to show distinctively one for the finished drama.
why does she looks like that shes so unrecognizable
Right? I am definitely not a fan of these two pictures of her. In my view she is so much more beautiful than these two pictures portray. But, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And, of course to each his/her own. As much as I am entitled to my opinion, so are others.
I simply can't fathom the low rating on this drama. No, it's not a masterpiece, but still a very good drama. It should be at least hovering around 8.5.
PS. Wish there were two ratings. One for the ongoing and one for the finished product. It really makes no sense to have the two combined as an ongoing rating. And, yes, I know there's an episode rating, but that's different than an ongoing rating I am referring to.
The story is nothing new, but I am really hopeful for its success.
