bro why r u so harsh lmao ....there is no point comparing this to a critically acclaimed series ...with the budget…
Your view is completely valid however you suggest in your original post that people viewing this favourably are wrong - that is an overreach and probably why you are subject to their ire.

Have your own opinion, please, but perhaps don’t disparage those of others.
I love slow dramas - the Road Home is a prime example of a slow drama paced pretty well.
However, this show is arthritic and as such, sometimes a little painful to watch.
Edit: now I have finished I can safely say this could have been 30 eps and it would have been much better. Without YY, this would be a 7.8 tops. On a positive note, the FL was very good.
“Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination. Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism.“
My least least least least favourite new trope in cdramas:
Hi! You know that kid you brought up because his parent abandoned them? Well shitty parent(s) miss them and want them back… and the lead gives the kid back with no reservations . Seriously.
do the fathers pf the leads approve of their relationship?
Neither father is a good human being. Lu Chen’s father is a nasty piece of work especially, but both of them are slightly better at the end. Neither is father given the opportunity to disapprove as both main characters are financially secure adults but they do accept the relationship eventually.
Genuine question as always interested in looking at this from a different perspective but what struck you as inconsistent?
Thank you so much. Slightly different perspective to me but very insightful!
The female lead (to me) is not so much conflicted by just ‘does he like me or not’ but is also warring between liking him and not wanting to get involved because of the trauma of her parents’ death (and the notion that she might experience the same level of pain again). She really likes him, doesn’t want him involved with another but at the same time is desperately trying to keep her heart closed. She blows hot and cold because she’s got this whole emotional war playing out in her head that only she can understand - he’s confused because he’s only getting the very tip of her emotional iceberg.
I think in his mind he was always obvious in his feelings and can’t understand what is going on in her mind and with her inability to verbalise what’s in her head he is so confused!
The thing with the assistant was a total ‘kill the messenger’ level of projection lol.
Hopefully that is somewhere close to making sense :) xx
Locking her in her room is NOT okay. Not under any circumstances. She's a goddamn adult. He has every right to…
I am so curious about something! Your watchlist says you’ve seen over 4000 dramas which is basically about 12 hours a day for 15 years - is that right? It’s dedicated if it is!

There - now you know what it actually means…
Also, semantics but a ‘real’ parent doesn’t abandon a kid for 7/8 years
