Well, he only realized his feeling when he left. But to be fair, I'm pretty sure we will have other flashbacks from their Highschool/College Era as it's obvious the other guy also have feeling for his "best friend". So I don't think it's a story about slow burning but more about acceptance & misunderstanding. Not my most preferred tropes but I will still give it a chance.

I wouldn't say it's a time skip as the story didn't even started yet. It was more an introduction to the characters and settle the setting like they do when they use flashback on ep. 1.

It's just me or they are recently doing a lot more of those Japan/Korea Drama colab recently ?

Regardless, the first episode was really cute.

Again, she isn't a Prosecutor or a Judge. Her role isn't to be impartial or even tell the truth. Her role is to defend her client by either convincing the jury/judge that her client is innocent or by reducing his sentence when it isn't possible. Even by using emotion (or anything relevant tbh) when facts & evidence isn't in their side.

Depend on what you see as a love triangle. ML does have a clingy ex & FL's Handyman have a crush on her BUT the drama doesn't exactly focus on the romance. It's a bit in the background ? So calling it a love triangle isn't the right term when the romance isn't that deep yet.

They never met yet so I really doubt it would happen. As of now, I don't see any second couple.

It's 100% FL alter ego. She wanted ML all for herself so she is on a killing spree. :P

It isn't about objectivity here as Lawyers should be partial to their client. Lawyers can defend their own family.

If she was a Prosecutor or a Judge it would be a different story but it isn't the case here.

Ngl, I'm not against this sort of fan service from time to time. A shirtless & wet Hunk with a cute Dog ? Sign me up! :P

Definitely a love triangle as the Lawyer already expressed interest in FL. Not sure if it was really romantic interest because he is apparently a fan of an actress - FL's mother - and FL make him recall this actress when she was young. Ngl, I found this a bit uncanny but whatever it's a comedy. :P

But now, he is even more eager as it want "revenge" on ML and plot to "take FL from him".

Not sure if you saw Ep. 26 so don't read it if you didn't but:

He didn't go after the whole family because he hated the family as a whole, he targeted it because he wanted to hurt Yunshu in her weakness, the Rong family name. She literally cannot give up of it and it's mostly the reason why she "betrayed" him.

As for Yunxi, she probably try in her own way to protect both of them from her own family. It all root from the man & daughter background that cannot really be disclosed. Remember, she is supposed to be an "adopted girl who lost her parents that Shanbao took pity". That Grandma only tolerate her because of this story - even if she know her true origin. The Rong family name cannot be tarnished. Like how she avoided to be part of their life when she was with her father, she applied the same restrain with him now she is with her.

I genuinely hope a happy ending for them once FL will took over the family as seriously, this Grandma need to go. :P

A feel good drama. Tbh, I was hoping it would have been more focused on the romance and their "psychological" issue than the chocolate plot itself. The romance is clearly in the background and their personal issue is a bit underused.

But overall, it wasn't a bad drama. 8/10

Well, it's a cameo so I don't really think we should see something further than that but it was clearly a odd one as it was the very last scene. They didn't communicate much about it even after it was aired.

But yeah, it was quite puzzling as it was like they hinted a season 2 tbh.

Didn't expect the body swap plotline to appear. Well, now I see it was in the synopsis (and probably in the trailer/teaser ?) but I went completely blind in this. Personally, I do enjoy those - they are often a fun time - so it's a pleasant surprise. :)

Well, now with the body swap, "FL" with act more boldly because he is the Grand Prince. He will literally break the character and probably do some outrageous thing that will probably cater to the SML deeper wishes.

Basically what I'm saying is that he will indirectly crush on ML.

In episode 6, did they use a filter on ML to give him a 6-pack ? :P

Ep. 9 was a bit anticlimactic. It was a bit too easy & tbh the writing was quite lazy here. It made the whole Aran/Tawan storyline quite pointless. Even the new "antagonist" from the rival mafia gang was underwhelming.

But anyway, I didn't enjoy this drama for those side plot. The main couple is so endearing that it was still a blast. I will miss them as it's almost the end. :'(

Personally it make me think of a tamed version of "BJ Alex" (Manhwa) especially that Blindfold and the dynamic XStar/Fan.

So about the "sick" son of the culprit. In the last episode, I don't remember his name, but the cop who showed to those forensic doctors house REALLY insisted that they went to the temple where the shaman/priest is at. For me, the culprit is the shaman so it make this cops hella suspicious + he was pretty low key the whole time. The only thing I don't really explain yet with this theory is that he was attacked by the ghost and almost drowned. But maybe it's because the ritual was disrupted at this time and the "backslash" occurred. What do you think ?

Don't know if you are aware but Smart (the actor playing Jin) had a severe controversy during summer because of his agency. To put it bluntly, he is no longer part of the Project Topform and lost most of the momentum he gained from it unfortunately.
