Yeah. I can understand for the Father even if it's still a hard pill to swallow as I personally wouldn't, it does fit Saint's character (it's literally his name).

As for the ex-boyfriend it's even more difficult. Sure, he will serve his time and should be reintegrated at some point, it's the whole purpose of the judiciary system. And their whole Label is for people with "a past", to give a second chance to peoples who otherwise wouldn't. It's noble BUT seeing Ice & Saint peacefully drinking coffee with his aggressor doesn't make any sense. Even less, hearing Ice apologize to him for being "a bad boyfriend"... Wrong person & too soon.

I don't know. I like her. Sure she is 100% two faced but with her family can we really blame her ? Scholar boy is for a tough ride to say the least. She will probably bring harm to him but hey, she didn't really exactly hide her true nature to him.

It really isn't cringey. It's Smarter and Smartest trying to outwith each other (& everyone else tbh). The FL is very poise & calculating. The ML is cunning & quite the deceiver. They make quite some spark when they are together to say the least but the romance isn't the main purpose. It's more focus on mind game & mystery surrounding the Rong's Family.

I personally didn't rate this as I dropped it at ep. 10 (so don't come after me :P) but the overall childish vibe just irked me the wrong way.

That being said, don't focus too much on the rating especially on MDL. It doesn't really have an impact on the success of C-Dramas if it's what you worry about. If the drama is good, it's bound to be successful. :)

I was talking about her father. When someone have a parent like that, I truly believe it's better to have none.

Yeah I could see that but I would argue that the whole premise (the contract relationship and the deal between Father & Son) wasn't rooted in realism to begin with. :P

That being said after re-reading myself I wasn't clear enough. I wasn't talking about the plot twist when I said "Sometime it's better to not have any than to have those. :(" but the new character that show up in the latest episode. To avoid spoiling anyone.

Not sure if I truly confused anyone but I just wanted to clarify. I also liked that plot twist as it brought some emotional scene. ^^

Don't forget, Yang was killed by He but someone was already planing is downfall. He was apparently sick before being killed. I wouldn't be surprised he was poisoned. And Yan seems to have knowledge about plants. They could reserve a last plot twist for the Yang's murder. But this illness could also be related about the Yang's family and the "missing" Aunt that FL is hiding. We will see.

Ngl, when I discovered she was an Orphan at Birth & had a somewhat difficult life trying to gain money, it's typically the background of a Lost Heiress in the making. So yeah, I didn't expect that "plot twist". Sometime it's better to not have any than to have those. :(

Anyway, loved the drama. The cast is gorgeous, the Rom is lovely & cute, the Com is hilarious & never ending, it was the perfect Rom-Com to finish this year. <3

Shortest Break-Up Era in BL history! Not even a night! I would want to see that more often tbh. :P

I'm just saying, Delulu peoples don't need anything to have delulu behavior. Can I 100% say that this cannot potentially trigger one of them to do something more ? No, I can't. But if it wasn't that it could literally be one completely innocent tweet from their bias or even a strange shaped cloud that could trigger them for all we know.

We cannot win with those. So let's not ruin the fun for everyone just because of the very few minority. :)

Personally, I preferred the first half of RL and the second half of TMS. The second half of RL felt odd to me. I don't know if some scene were edited out but it lost a bit of his shine. In another hand, I really enjoyed this second half. Sure it was angst & more angst but it was beautifully written. Really a fan of You Shulang's Character.

As for ABO, it's harder to rate as it's a bit of a OVNI like we said in my mother tongue. UFO in english but I don't know if it's used this way, to tell something is a bit too different.

But regardless, I loved all three of them so I don't need to rank them, they are all 1st place in my heart. :P

We aren't the main target audience so sure, all this talk about China's Solar Power is basically patriotism. They always do that regardless of the sector of activity they bring up in those. AI, Cooking, Media, etc. With value like Integrity & Hard Work. So yeah, it sure doesn't resonate when we are a foreign viewer but like I said, we weren't the target to begin with.

US Media are also a fan of doing that - patriotic rant - but I would say they are more subtle about it at least. Not that's it's better but I'm use to it at least. :P

The selection is like a tradition but also to give "face" to their commercial partners. She didn't pick or invite "anyone" as everyone is free to apply (like all those who where rejected at first). Tan is definitely her favorite and she probably "urge" Yan's Father to send his son, but that's all. The final say go to the Bride. It's why she could have choose LJL but without a doubt it wouldn't had been this easy as it was still a breach of protocol.

Not really. I think the 6th sister, the one with the "missing" Nanny, truly have it as if not, FL wouldn't have use her past trauma of Butterfly to trigger one of her mental breakdown in the Tea Ceremony.

But basically, the Tea Bone is the ability to instinctively sense good tea, seedling and be able to just know what's wrong with a Tea Plant (Tree ?) at first glance even without having studied it (like they said, 3y old child being able to recognize good Tea among bad one).

Not really realistic but like in Period Drama (not the fantasy one), they still have "martial art" & are flying around like nothing or their needles that can cure it all even "incurable diseases". Just take it for what it is and don't prob too deep. :P

Yes, it's weird they insist so hard of this "star crossed relationship" he have with FL. The worse ? It's almost like he is filming his own drama where he is the ML but in the end, he is just filming MV to show his sadness & longing into the void. :P

This 2FL is for a tough ride especially since she is already completely smitten.

Sure, they aren't officially together but they had a LOT of lovely moment together for quite some time. Like, I didn't see a platonic relationship between them since the friend's wedding where ML confessed his feeling. At this point, FL's feeling and her behavior toward him have already shifted into a romantic one.

Well, in this episode each couple sang to each others. And ngl, I preferred the version from the girl couple. It was very sweet & emotional. It also felt more genuine than the overly edited that the main couple had. Sure it fit for a background OST but I think it would have been better if it wasn't the edited version.

That being said, I don't know how much of a singer Tae is. So maybe it wasn't a possibility. Either way, congrats to the girls, they really have good singing ability or the post prod was very natural that I didn't feel it was edited. :o

Also, Mud version was so cute. Yes it can't sing but it feel even more genuine because of that. I can't blame Book to take him back after that. :P

Both past self need better friend... The photo from Than's Friend was such a scumbag move. And the "hickey", I wouldn't be astonished as he got one when he was asleep. Because let's be real, insect bite never look like hickey, it's true & a fact. Maybe this drama really used this myth as it really happened but god, stop spreading this false believe for the love of god. :P

Good question as it's also a bit odd to me. Beyond Perfect is either a subcontractor of his advertisement company or a company that handle the image in general of another one. But I'm also not familiar with this industry, so maybe the use of subcontractor is more common than I think.

I mean, we know the character of FL. Do you truly want me to believe she asked him out, knew about the accident and didn't care ? And then, completely forget about him ? It's 100% sure than something is going on and a misunderstanding is somewhere in hiding.
