I’ve been reporting the obstinate ones and giving a gentle reminder to the chill ones. 😊 You can also block the user, too. Some just get on MDL to ruin people’s enjoyment of dramas.

Totally agree with you. 🥰

Ji has some major blue balls of the heart, poor guy

No worries. 😊

Did you watch Bittersweet Love? If not, then I recommend skipping it as it will frustrate you quite a bit, like it did most viewers who didn’t read ahead. I am one of those viewers that has to read the novel if I discover one is easily available so I can make it through 😊. Even with that, it was hard to stomach and I gave the drama a 7/10. Still fair for my terms in rating dramas, I guess.

That was what I was wondering because the comments are not filled with drama-bashing that would cause a series such a drop in ratings 8 episodes into a 47 episode drama. 17% of a drama does not foretell it’s success or failure. They’re basically still cruising on the on ramp at this point in the game. Me? I’d give it about 15 episodes before I make up my mind (30%). They gotta get their sea legs under them first. 😊

Crazy. Do you mind sharing why they may hate these two? Scandal, controversy, or just pointless actor-bashing (like some are with Esther Yu)?

They are misunderstandings brought on by others with the information withholding it, whatever their intentions are. if those withholding the information came clean, then these misunderstandings wouldn’t exist, but they drive the plot to the inevitable end.

Perhaps you could give the novel a try while waiting until it’s done airing? You may find it makes more sense that way?

Either way, it’s all good. I understand moving on if one is not feeling the drama. I have moved on from many a highly acclaimed drama because it wasn’t for me. Happy viewing and I’m sure we will see each other in the threads 😊

He’s not meant to be pitiful, though. It’s all based on misunderstandings due to withheld information and the hurt that follows. People withholding information, despite the good intentions of withholding, cause further harm. The future episodes will make it all make more sense. I like that these characters are portrayed with more realistic emotions and character flaws. The writer did a good job with it, imo.

It definitely seems highly likely. She’s a demon for that.

You’re not wrong

That part 👆🏽

They’ll learn soon enough, though… unless they drop it too early. That would be unfortunate because the story really is a good one full of all kinds of emotions. I loved the novel, which I binge-read over a weekend, between adulting (boo👎🏽).

Hello my friend! I agree with you 100%. I posted something similar about her today, as well. An’an doesn’t deserve what she’s being dished. I love her personality (and I love who the director cast for the role; fits her character’s vibe so well). She genuinely makes me smile when she’s on screen. It’s crazy that in a BL, I want MORE scenes with a female character rather than less… who would have thought?

(Just thinking- you may want to put a spoiler warning for the “uninitiated” future viewers. 🥰 )

Right?! He ‘un’made his bed, now be man enough to sleep in it.

They’ve kept the drama pretty clean imo. Even the NC scenes feel as though they’re trying not to give anything for viewers to imagine. The novel is more…explicit. I bought mine on Amazon and read it over the weekend after last week’s episodes.

Your take is from a misunderstanding of the plot. It will all make sense in future episodes, though, there are hints through what has been released to date. (These hints will become obvious later.) Granted, some of Ji’s words and actions are…questionable…but they do make sense in the future under the lens of him being a real human with real emotions. I will say no more otherwise I’ll be giving a spoiler. -from one of the novel readers 🩷

How is the rating at 7.9 with only a handful of episodes out? Some of you are too brutal. There are FOURTY-SEVEN episodes to this… Seems a bit premature, in my opinion.

Perhaps it’ll slip through for iQIYI International due to its co-production status.

How am I supposed to know what your name means… It’s just common courtesy to use the spoiler button for spoilers.

That’s all that’s in the novel. There were significantly more people around, though. But I agree, bro should have hit him a few more times. And a good kick or 10 to the vitals to tidy it all up nicely.

Despite the platonic “kisses”, and some continuity issues (no clothes readjusting and the bandaid appearing, disappearing, then reappearing again, for example), the story has me anticipating each episode. I really like An’an’s bubbly personality. I wish Zhou Yang wasn’t such a selfish douchebag to the bitter end. (His half brother is no good either. Matter of fact, trash the whole Zhou clan.) I wish that things were a bit different for her in the end. I love the relationship she builds so quickly and effortlessly with Shen Mo. She brings some brightness to him and takes him a bit out of his head.
