This was so cliche' that I fast-forward most of the show. IMO--the most interesting person is the villain. I couldn't get enough of him. He was a horrible character, but I enjoyed watching him fall in love with the lead female. Ugh... The lead male and female. Ugh. Great actors, not so good script.
I'm having a hard time with this series. The female lead, Nao, is obviously dense. There's a supporting character named Yuri. She's the sister-in-law of the male lead, Uehara. She's inappropriate--especially her attachment to Uehara is inappropriate. I skipped her scenes.
Lead Female (LF) is crushing on the 2nd male lead. They both have mutual feelings; however, he tells LF that he can't pursue a relationship. He has to put his artistry first. He breaks her heart, and he even sheds genuine tears because what he wants he cannot have at this point in life.
I'm glad the LF knows how to exit the room. He brought her a sorry ass, two-scoop ice cream then rejected her love. She took a small taste of the ice cream, shaded him, and sashayed out to the restaurant without glancing back.
HOWEVER, Lead Female's best friend develops feelings for 2ML as she works closely with him in the company. There is plenty of fish in the sea. Why go fishing in your friend's small pond? She broke the friend code, but worst, she discusses it with LF as if it should be okay. BITCH, huh, NO.
If the guy had absolutely NO feelings for the LF, I would not have written this much. Unrequited love is different to some degree. Mind you, the best friend can clearly see that he still has feelings for the LF. That rapacious, little wench. She is purposely making things awkward. Next, the best friend pulls a slut move (Ep. 32) right after asking him if he still loves her best friend. He doesn't hesitate and says yes. She even makes her move in his drunkard state; he kisses her back but stops and dashes away.
She's shameless...
Nevertheless, the LF is okay with her bestie's newfound love because she's already falling for the lead male. She even gives her friend a hand at bonding with the 2nd male lead. I'm not clear if she told her best friend all the details of why their relationship could not bloom, but it could have put some perspective on their situation.
In episode 37, the best friend tries it once more with the 2nd male lead. Uninvitingly, she follows him in his home and pours two glasses of wine (SHAMELESS). He reiterates that he told her to go home, but she's an emotional vampire. He tells her that he does not drink, but she's persistent--hoping she can get a replay. He refuses the wine and tells her again that his heart belongs to the LF. At this point, I think she's too old to be so immature. If she wants something so badly, it should be dignity.
The best friend dares to be upset and moves out of the "shared" rent apartment because she can't live with the LF knowing the man she loves, loves the LF. This was genesis--known from the beginning. Why is she angry, one would think? Unstable. BYE-FELICA! She does not get to throw a tantrum. I would not waste any good 5G communication to consult 2nd LM about her unstable feelings.
I might seem petty, but I could be MARRIED, and the answer is still NO. Fate has brought our friendship to an end. I would ghost her on principles. You can't trust a friend like that--she might want something you're not willing to part with in the future.
After episode 40, I skipped every scene with the BF. I simply could not pitty her storyline. Especially if she gets the guy she obsessed over. That's shaky ground, even in real life.
I dropped the Start-up with hopes of going back to it one day. Then, I dropped season 1 of Love Alarm at episode 6 because I didn't like its direction. I don't know if I'll ever finish those two dramas now.
I'm at episode 30, and my rating has gone down just a little. This wife gets kicked out of the darn house like clockwork. I just realized I missed the part with the divorce papers (fake). Smh. I may wait until the rest of the episodes aire to finish this drama.
LOL. The Story of Ming Lan, but there are schemes.
There was only one concubine that fought like a ninja. LOL. I have to remember to tell people when it's more than 20 episodes. I love the Story of Yanxi Palace, but it's long and complicated.
I'll come back to it. I stopped on episode 4. Something about unnecessary lying bothers me. It was no reason for Mi Duo and Lei Yi Ming to lie to Gao Wen. SO, you see where the writers are creating a misunderstanding for us later on in the series. It's one I can skip.
