Yes, the toast being eaten delicately with a knife and fork made me laugh.

That is a sensible way to watch a drama. Don't give up after the first episode, because it is usually just setting the scene and introducing all the characters. The second episode is often where the real story begins. 👍

It's all very subjective, isn't it. The same actor/drama will seem boring to one person, but fascinating to another. I loved Eun Ji in Trot Lovers, but so many people hated it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I hope this new drama pleases a lot of people. I definitely intend to watch it when it's released.

I agree that not every drama needs a childhood connection, butthe "first love" trope is needed in this one, or there is no reason for him to fixate on the doctor.

Good! If you'd said, "these parents are my role models" it would be worrying! 😂

After two episodes, I'm impressed. I often laugh aloud at dramas, but they never make me cry. This one made me laugh in some places, but it also made me cry actual tears in both episodes. Well done to cast, crew and writers for managing to fit humour and interesting ethical dilemmas into the same show.

I think that's the whole point. Removing every bad memory *sounds* like a great idea at first, but there will be consequences.

That's definitely the point the drama is trying to make. He felt so hopeless in every part of his life that the "first love" was his final little spark of hope that he clung onto to survive, but that's not healthy, so I'm looking forward to how the drama manages to show us how he and his brother get past this in future without everything going badly wrong. So far, it seems a fairly well thought out plot, so I'm hopeful.

😂 😂 😂 Every time. you thought the montage was finished and there were no more places for him to gaze miserably at... there he was again, moping around another place. 😂

That's the funniest bit. They all just say SIL so naturally and neither ML or FL correct them, and all the mobsters treat her like their big sister/mum. ❤️

I agree. He knew her first as the older version and hopefully that's how he'll always view her. He's protective of this friendly auntie who helps and comforts him

Have you watched Reset, and 19th Floor? Both c-dramas that have really interesting plot. Reset is a very clever thriller/time travel. 19th floor is a fantasy mystery based on vidtual reality games.

I'd also recommend the k-drama Memories of the Alhambra.

Watch Imitation, Let Me Be Your Knight, and May I Help You. The first two of those have great music in them too. 😊

Every time there was a scene in episodes 5/6 with FL standing behind the bar, wearing her white work shirt, it reminded me of the Manet painting, A Bar at the Folies Bergere.

and when she went outside again it was dark! 😂

The narrator makes it perfectly clear that it's a daft twisted fairytale right from the beginning, and it stays true to that. I like it a lot. 😁

Perhaps it's related to her myopia, and when her vision is corrected by her own glasses she can't read minds.

Me: Thank goodness! A drama with Luo Zheng where the FL is not a twin!

Writer: *laughs evilly* Let's make this actress THREE women!!

Seriously though. 3 episodes in, it's an OK drama.

No, it's just a plot device, so we can see that when she's not wearing them and looks into someone's eyes, she can read their thoughts. If people didn't remove them, we'd never know because she won't voluntarily take them off.

Four male friends and their different romances. One has a wife who keeps an eye on him. One has a wife who died. One is a bit flirty and likes FL's friend. The other is our ML, who adores the FL but knows she likes his best friend. It's a cute drama with quite a lot of comedy, and the friendships between all the characters are lovely.
