Hmm... I'm really struggling with this one. I'm currently watching ep. 19 and I don't know, it seems to be a miss for me. It probably doesn't help that the racing theme so far didn't hook me.

First of all, it's really ML centric. The FL so far doesn't have a story of her own. Her only goal is to be with ML & support him in her childish way. Her relationship with her lost father, her new found half-sister & step mother, her own professional goal in the future or even her daily life beside the one with ML is just completely omitted so far. Ah yes, she seems to have a side Idol gig with her best friend but it's just the actress playing as her own self so it really doesn't help to make thing better tbh. Don't know if it's developed later in the drama but it clearly isn't in the first part.

Anyway, another thing that bother me is how the made them "God-like" characters. ML is a professional fighter, car racer, car engineer, can draw & cook and probably have more hidden talent. Overall, he is a genius that can do anything but it just feel odd as it's just random sometime & disconnected. FL is similar as she also have multiple random talent. They are also "morally" superior as they don't really have major character flaw. And yes, obviously they are handsome & pretty and every characters say it when they see them. It just make thing feel artificial, unrealistic & fake.

I will probably continue a bit but it make me yawn so much that I'm just forcing myself tbh.

So if I understand the feedback on the first few episodes, their are kind of painful to watch ? I will let this simmer then. :P

Yeah, for now thing are really dry between the 1st couple. Well, Than carry almost the entire ship tbh. :P

It make the 2nd couple even more like a breath of fresh air.

But when thing will warm up for the 1st couple I think thing will go sour for the 2nd one and they will less... "spicy & goofy" and more about angst.

It isn't clear yet but it's probably more about a misunderstanding plot. A huge one at that.

Ngl, those two men really trigger all fibber of my motherly instinct to protect them. The broken Fan Xiao, I want to comfort him and chant him a lullaby that will ease his madness. And to Shulang, that have the worse luck in the world with men. It will be fine, I want to say to him. Stop hurting each others as I can't protect you both. Y_Y

Just saying but they probably got more money for streaming it on Netflix. And money is one of the biggest indicator to the success of a show. That or it's literally Netflix that financed a huge part of it. So short answer, it's about money. :P

Totally. I don't know if they are trained in dancing but regardless, they "mastered" (in my neophyte eyes at least) 10 different dances! That quick step for example in the end was so impressive tbh.

I doubt it. Manga update are really slow so when it will be finished, the hype could have died, the actors could have move on, the production could have drop the project. Like, it could happen, it's in the realm of possibility, right ? But I wouldn't hold my breath either.

Those hips moves are unholy for sure! :P

From what I understood, they aren't "different" person. They are fundamentally the same person but in this alternate world one thing changed: MC asked help from ML when in the original he didn't. It's the "if" in the story. For me, it's logical if he love both as they are the same person, just like alternate ML will still love alternate MC and vice versa.

More than an parallel world, it's more about a different time line. Anyway, we will see what the angst in the finale episode preview is about but I'm confident the ending will be good! :D

What he said hold true. They aren't together and for him, he isn't interested. So it needed to be said before the child suffer indirectly. But yeah, it could have been nicer. That being said, so far, she didn't respect most boundary he tried to set up before, so maybe it was needed. Regardless, I also wouldn't be surprise that they do a 180 in the finale when he realize she is the one for him that could lead to an open ending for their relationship. We will see.

Nah. In K-Drama, they always break up just before the final episode. It's almost like a curse. That and the time skip to their happy ending. :P

If you mean by that what was his logical reason, he didn't have one. He is just twisted and "evil". The fact that he is a drug addict is quite telling as in SK, it's literally demonized. Not that it's all rainbow & sunshine in the West but we can have protagonist like Dr. House or show like Weeds without being cancelled. Is SK ? They are all horrendous characters that are meant to be hated. Quite sad when we know how drugs works (not that it absolve from all blame but you get what I mean).

Well, well, well... First of all, the two main actors were fantastic. I don't know their background but I fully believed they were professional dancers. Their emotional scenes were captivating. And the chemistry... Hard to make thing better. 10/10

The dance part. Like I said, I'm neophyte so I cannot say anything deep about it. But I can say it was a feast for the eyes. The choreography, the costume, the attitude of the actors themselves. I was rooting for them and was clapping like the audience in the movie. Again 10/10

The cinematography was beautiful & the music completely fit the theme. I was still hoping for something that would surprise me but it was somehow quite classic. 9/10

But something did bother me in the story itself. More specifically about the characters themselves. Sometime I really struggled to understand why they were reacting the way they did. Like I was missing a crucial piece. It could be the format or just me. 8/10

And then the ending... Imagine I was captivated & on cloud nine with their finale. 10 dance of pure happiness... And then they drop me with the end credit. I was literally stun for a minute. Was it been really already 2h ? I really didn't see the time passing... The drop was so sudden that I almost feel withdrawal syndrome. It was that violent. I cannot rate that ending. In one hand, I'm mad and in another, it was perfect. It's really hard to tell how I really feel about it. */10

Overall, I don't regret watching this as I completely enjoyed it. A must watch in my humble opinion. 9.5/10

And it still make me laugh. A lot of Rom-Com forget the Comedy bit near the end. Glad it wasn't the case here. :)

Don't bother, it's obviously a troll wanting attention. Don't feed him and he will go away. ^^

He was clearly not happy with her being with ML. :P

I really have a love-hate relationship with this actress. In one hand, I found the way she always play the same character pretty annoying - overly cute & childlike - but in another hand, she always pick good project that made up for it.

I obviously didn't watch all of her works so... Did she one time drop this character for something more... flesh out or serious ? Just to see her in another light.

Fun, Light & Forgettable. For a Finale, it was lackluster. Also, I didn't really liked the ending. For me, it should have been alone. The last second plot twist without proper build up wasn't needed at all. Like, we never saw MC be the slightest interested in him... so why bother and force this ending ? Anyway, if you enjoyed past seasons, this one is very similar. But don't expect more. 7/10

Or maybe the father is Than's Brother ? I like the idea that both children are in fact half sibling for some reason. :P

I could explain the mix up with the phone a little bit better as it would be weird if a total stranger gave Than's phone number.

Anyway, we will see what their are cooking with this plot line as I'm really curious at how they will explain his strange behavior - but I'm kinda prepared to be complete BS to be honest. ^^'
