Episode 7 - The Queen!! Loved her speaking up!

I guess if i hear good things I'll check it out 😊 I've just learnt that there are a trillion shows & its okay to drop, not watch just because everyone else is... & Go with whatever i enjoy .. with hsh she's never seemed authentic in the clips I've seen and maybe the storylines of her shows don't appeal to me...

I like what I've seen of JJS, cant stand HSH since the beginning... the story sounds interesting but not sure if i can suffer through watching HSH... I guess I'll have to skip this one.

Update: I have seen only 1 show of JJS and she is okay-ish. I'm not impressed enough to watch her other shows.

Or if he turns out to be the villian?!!

2 episodes in, i am hooked and invested. going to make sure I finish my work this week on time, so i can watch the next episode as soon as it releases!! 2 episodes a week are TOO less! anyone listening?

Binge watched the 1st 10 episodes!!
Really well done.
And the fight scenes are excellent!
& That opening ship scene...wooh!!
The characters are so well fleshed out .. no discrepancies even with the smallest role!
Great quality drama so far!

Ohhh...that makes a lot of sense...a lot more sense actually...

found it on YT - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WNYH9emTMM

agree. I also think the Grandpa had something to do with their mother's death.

I loved the gangsta filming scenes!!
and that confession was meh! as was the crying and kissing.
your point is super valid - we know that they know, but they dont, and so now this is just wrong.... well, i guess until they fix it.

agree! and that confession scene, disappointing.

PS: I loved the FL's action scenes on the train + fight on the set where she is an extra - so beautifully done! replay worthy!!!

Now, for my rant!

I don't understand or see the development of their feelings - that confession scene - like, 1. where is this deep bond/emotion coming from? He seems to be more obsessed than in-love with her, if they showed the evolution I've missed it - can someone tell me where this happened?

2. also the 1st time i am, frankly, disappointed in their acting - neither looked in-love, in-pain or conflicted.

Also, can someone tell me the point of Ms. Yoon's character - I'm just skipping her scenes now - she has nothing to do, and considering the set up was that she is a strong business woman - it would have been so much more fun to see her in action at work/business than what they are showing - I detest this representation of smart women becoming 'pathetic' - even in 2 sided situation-ships, here there is none but her cotton-candy thoughts. She also seems like a good actress, I wish she'd had a stronger/ better role.
Which parent tells their child to go be 'pathetic'? poor writing this.

sweet and warm show. good acting by everyone. loved the interactions between, actually, all of them - the relationships were shown quite well. usually the 2nd half dips, but this one, from ep 18 on just pulled you right back in.

2 episodes in and I love this show! All the actors are new to me, but they are so relatable - that's good acting and writing coming together & all that other magic that goes into making a good show!
Whoever wrote the dialogues is GOOD! I was laughing out loud, smiling at all the banter and chaos, and the camaraderie and chemistry between all the characters at this point.

I also love how the FL has learnt 349602 things, 'just in case'! - that is me, signing up for every course and downloading every book! just in case i may need them someday!

I expected the grandfather to be the villain, but after the Taxi ride episode, I am not so sure.

This is already on my rewatch list - when i want to laugh, or just feel good as another woman who is not perfect, speaks her mind & is still miles away from the life she's been working towards. We need normal people in our stories.

agree! also, as someone who is becoming more introverted post c19, i can tell you, i dont want to meet and talk to any of my friends all the time or often - especially if i am in the middle of a great episode, i am not picking that call..............i will call or text back later, i am nice like that! lol!

Thank you, that is helpful.

I have not rated it, like I mentioned, I have dropped it.
Also, if the show is a poor experience for me, it is my prerogative to rate it or not. People should know if a program is poor in some area - and then make their choice. And VOICE is such a big part of that experience.
I really don't understand why the director/producer underplay a talent like Esther ... she has a good voice and a good range of expressions...

Thanks :) That's a good idea!

I sadly have had to drop s&f6 coz esther's baby voice... it just grated too much!!
Considering i like xu kai and wan peng, even esther in her shows where she uses her normal voice, I'd really wanted to watch this... But 5 episodes in, and between her voice and expressions, i sadly cant watch any more. So disappointed.

apparently the leads cried during the script reading.. just saw this clip on youtube... i wonder whats going on with the story....
