I agree on this. He had a great romantic ML potential in Two Conjectures of Marriage but wasted it midway towards the end of the drama. I would like to see him too in a non toxic romantic ML role.

So, I decided to check this out and try to feel the vibe if it has same vibe as Two Conjectures About Marriage. Currently just on ep.5 and it's quite draggy already. Both FL and 2FL aren't likeable for me. I just don't think they fit their roles. I am liking the ML and 2ML leads so far. I like how they pamper their wives. I just hope their characters would be sustained and there won't be any form of cheating or infidelity that will occur.
@ep. 10, I really like ML's character so far. Full of positivity in life. Still not a fan of FL's character. Meanwhile 2ML's character is starting to be hateable. 2FL's statements on being a housewife makes sense for me. I feel her.
Halfway thru, Still disliking FL's character. She's just too full of her ego. I am now feeling the vibe of Two Conjectures About Marriage in this drama.
@ep. 24, the story plot seems becoming flat for the MC. Everything was so focused on the third couple. Even the secondary couple's story becomes idle.
Have completed the drama at this point. I really didn't like FL's character up to the finale. She's just too full of herself. Lucky she was given a warm hearted, loyal, hardworking and kind husband. ML is very much ideal in this drama. FL has a distorted mind just like her frenemy college friend. I mean having their child almost aborted just because of jealousy. Such a pathetic loser. I didn't like also that issues in her career was stretched too long up to the last ep. The only good thing in this drama is that the husbands technically didn't cheat at all except for Zhao Kai. 2FL's character development is way much better than the FL herself. compared to TCAM, this has a better ending. However, there are lots of draggy moments that could have just squeezed into 24eps. Btw, Mr. Fang is also a rich Chairman in TCAM. Overall, it's just a 7 for me.

Totally agree! 😍

Only main reason for watching this is Li Fei. He's such an eyecandy. Story plot is pretty much predictable. Yeah, a bit close to The Killer is Also Romantic, in terms of story plot but not close enough in terms of kisses and skinships. TKAR is fiery hot in terms of leads chemistry.
I hope to see Li Fei in a full length contemporary drama. I really liked his character in The Crush Season 1 and 2. Hope he gets to do the same character in a full length.

This is just too conservative for me. I'm so a fan of kisses and skinships. Too slow burn too. It's only a 7 for me. Not my cup of tea.

I was suppose to watch this after watching ML in Two Conjectures of Marriage. but, I just noticed this is not a romance drama as it was not tagged. so, I'd rather skip this.

Ok, so this drama got me hooked from ep. 1. Am really not into melodramas but the topic on marriage got me engaged to it. For the MC, I'm a fan of fast paced romance so I liked how they got together till marriage.
Currently on ep. 5. So far, am so liking the ML character as a husband and hating the FL character as a wife. Probably one thing, the husband fulfills his best to create an ideal family for them. How busy he may seem, he still finds time to take care of his wife. While, the wife seems just want to get married for the sake of having a long time partner but not ready for a family. It's another battle of weighing giving up a career for a family or prioritizing career over family. It's really a struggle to juggle both. Sadly, I'm not seeing any effort from the wife to fulfill her wife duties, at least to make breakfast, do the laundry, do the grocery for at least to have food for both of them. I just feel sad for the husband's character here. A smart woman can always lead herself to a good career, but, it is a rare chance to be able to marry a hardworking, loving, non-cheating husband. And yeah, the in-laws got involved too that made it more complicated for them. On the other hand, I liked the smooth sailing relationship of the second couple. Not much complications so far.
@ep. 6, exactly, this woman/FL is full of ego.
@ep. 9 So, for the second couple the 2ML has all the ego. I think FL and 2ML are a much better match.
More trouble because of that step sister. And the leads are tolerating it. Well, at least the FL learned to do housechores. finally!
So, at this point I was able to complete the drama. Got draggy mid way, but had a roller coaster ride of emotions from ep. 20 onwards. I can see now why this got a low rating, inspite of having a good story plot, very realistic and yes, good actors in the cast. Just like me, everyone wants a happy ending, but in reality not all can have that. Well, it kinda gave hope towards the end. My thoughts towards the MC, the main problem they had is the lack of trust with each other. Another thing are the extended family that got involved. Though, they had been a big help for the FL when things are so down with her. Definitely the love was there. I felt sad for the FL towards the end. I had mixed emotions for the ML towards the end. I still admire his physical control and yes, honesty may hurt the FL about what he truly feels for the other woman, still the admission is needed. I really felt sad on that part. Cheating is really a big no no. I also felt sad for the ML's lack of time for his family specially on those crucial moments when he really needs to be there as a husband and a Father. So, the tides have turned when the ML have done nothing in taking care of his kids when at first he was the one who was so eagerto have them. It's just so sad how money can really change people.
Yet, am glad the secondary couple had their happy ending at least. And yeah, the friendship of the FL and 2FL is also admirable.
Overall, this is one of the rare melodramas I really got hooked. If you want a glimpse of how realities of marriage is showned, this is really recommendable. It's an 8.5 for me. Abit lacking on skinships and kisses for the MC but the secondary couple filled it in.

For a low budget mini drama, this could have a potential. It such that, there are many loopholes in the plot. Like the time stamps is not realistic. For an 8 yr old kid to grow up as a man after 2 years? C'mon, he should have been just 10. The companies that can be bought in just a day. It's like just buying a candy from a store. The ML lead seems to have all the time in his hands without doing anything at all. Like, he doesn't have work or a business to operate. Not to mention the kisses are so poorly done.
Overall, it's a 6.5 for me.

Excuse me, I said "I hope she does something about it" Hoping for someone is different from dictating someone what to do. And I know I'm not in any position to do so.
No need to explain further. I have nothing against Li Yitong. That's my opinion.

Definitely we all have different views. Yes, film and TV is defined as an art. Acting is a form of art either. But not all viewers would think about art when watching a film or drama. Most people simply just want to be entertained. Of course, people would have preferences on what they want to see. As for the actors, yes there are parameters, still there are public figures and yes, they can't also avoid public opinion. But, of course, it's a different thing if they are being defamed, they also have the right to make legal action..
Anyways, this was a drama I've seen a year ago. So for the details on the characters you've mentioned. It has already slipped my mind.
I'm not here to debate on anyone. I'm simply here to express my thoughts about a drama and the cast. Just like others here expressing their thoughts, some may agree, some may not. To each his own.

But, I also didn't ask for you to comment on my opinion. If you don't like it just leave it. Just start a new comment if you want to express your own thoughts.

I believe we all have different reasons why we do watch dramas. I'm so a big fan of romance dramas and this drama just happened to be tagged as one, so I checked it out.
My opinion about actors is basically none of your business. Just to clarify, I am not attacking Li Yitong's appearance. I just said I noticed her eyebags and that's not a word to attack nor discriminate an actor so to speak. I also believe that each one of us has its own preference. This is my opinion and just learn to respect it.
Sorry to disappoint you, but, I believe 80% of the viewing population specifically in Asia prefers watching good looking actors and actresses. If you're not one of them, that's your choice. But, you don't have any right to dictate people what they want in life. Live to your own world.

Story isn't much interesting. I find the romance a bit lacking, including kisses and skinships.
It's just a 7.0 for me.

This is a decent watch. Typical Japanese story plot. FL is so naive. Not really a fan of her character. ML isn't ideal either. But, it just gave a feel good vibe. Overall, it's a 7.5 for me. So much lacking on skinships and kisses.

One of the rare underrated short mini drama. This is such a comic relief. Reminds me of the drama My Uncanny Destiny. First time to watch Main leads in a drama. ML is cute. Looking forward to see him again, hopefully in full length ones. A Tan really made me laugh. It's a solid 8.5 for me. A bit lacking on kisses and skinships. But, I liked the ending.

I really loved DOTS after watching that way back 2016. Song Joongki was a real charmer back then. I guess, not today anymore afterall the issues he has gone thru with the respective FL. Plus I also loved the supporting cast. I consider it as one of the classics of Kdrama history. I'm a visual person, so I'm not into reading novels. so to speak. I'd rather watch it on film than read. So, for this novel that everyone is talking about. I only based on what I saw in DOTS. So after watching this, I kinda felt most scenes were copied. But then again, as everyone have said, both of these dramas adapated it to the novel, so basically, they would both have scenes that would have similar representation of the novel. It such that DOTS have a Korean flare on it and this one of course, a Chinese flare.
Given I have seen both, for me I'll prefer the Korean flare. One, DOTS really gave me that comic relief. It was a total package. The real life situation scenes such as the earthquake rescue, the vehicle hanging on a cliff with FL on it, the criminal syndicate rescue, which I believe Koreans are really good at in presenting. Not to mention the good balance of romance as well and the bonus appearance of Red Velvet gave it a much complete element to the drama.
For You're My Hero, I like Bai Jing Ting. He also nailed his role. But, I just find the romance too bland for this drama that's why I really prefer DOTS over this one.

So, this is technically the second pairing of the MC. The first one was ZGZZS. A different story plot though, but, the romance element is almost the same. Slow burn, FL enticing the ML, a bit poor execution of kiss which basically happened only in the final episode.
Yet, the chemistry of the leads was there. I missed the Emperor though on ZGZZS. but the cast is almost the same. Overall, it's a 7.5 for me.
After pairing up on 2 short mini dramas, I think the MC is ready to do full length ones.

It started interesting. After the MC got together midway, I thought the romance would be more intense. Sadly, it's just too bland for me. The kiss which only happened one ep. and the other one during the finale, is not considered a kiss but just lips touching. Not to mention, I hated the part where ML pretended to be dead and the FL just forgave him easily, like WTH, you've been insane for days and weeks thinking the love of your life has died and that's just it?!!!
It's a 6.0 for me. That's generous enough for the good swordsmanship and martial arts skills. Other than that, it's a total waste of time.

I've already completed the drama a few days ago. No need to rewatch, as I see no chemistry at all between the 2. If you love their pairing, I respect that. Try to read comments here as well as many don't agree with their pairing.
Anyways, Mysterious Love is a total different story. You watch Mysterious Love first for you to know..
