Can I just say how much I love you treating the comment section like the viki timed comments wile watching the show. I go back and read them and have a nice laugh. Sometimes we're watching at the same time and I'll lose it even more.

I love how neither of them spoke up about their hand holding....😆😁

dude made a confession cake for his office birthday party....I'd say the boss did him a favor.

Also this isn't one of those shows where FL stays sad-puppy-pining for the love of her crush. Nor, does she forgive him the second she finds out who he is to her online. We love a FL who pauses and makes the person think about their actions so that they don't repeat themselves.

At the very end of episode 6 picking it back up at the beginning of episode 7 is the confession fail. He finds out in episode 7 either later that night or the next day when they all play together.

extra spoiler:
She finds out in episode 12.

Done. Sorry about that I thought I had it checked as spoiler.

They will both have the same art designer so be prepared to see some possible visual similarities as well when in airs.
The director worked on 'Hidden Love' and the currently airing 'Everyone Loves Me' so I already know I like her style.

If it's a slow burn with good cinematography, more than 24 episodes will be better. If that isn't the case, 24 episodes is the preferred. If it's going to dive deeper into the sports they play and kind of showcase them then a longer runtime could help let those scenes breathe a bit more.
I ended up deleting the list of modern set show examples of well done and not so well done shows at the different lengths as it was becoming an extremely long comment.
What it came down to is no secondary leads....longer length can be very good. Second leads, whether in their own pairing or foils to the main leads...the longer the show the worse they became.
EDIT: Looks like they've set this as 32 episodes. So fingers crossed for just extra lovely scenes of skiing and location admiration.

Su Zheng really trying to confess to a CO-WORKER in front of the entire office is wild to me. Are you not embarrassed? Sir, not only would HR be so far up your booty hole they'd be wearing you like a Barney costume, if she says no, but EVERYONE YOU WORK WITH WILL KNOW as well. Willing to risk getting fired just to shoot your shot on company time...wild. GX honestly saved him by butchering the cake.
Qian Ling, has been friendly with him, but not overly so.
I somehow always forget before starting a new "office romance" show that my HR trained brain is like ABOSOLTULY NOT. Whenever characters act inappropriately/unprofessionally.
Even Gu Xun pursuing QL outside of work hours is a big no no. It's more of a grey area at the moment as he isn't technically her direct supervisor, but still, forms need to be looked into.
Every company has their own guidelines when it comes to inter office dating, but HR just doesn't exist in Drama Llama Land.

Also with the childhood neighbor...repeat after me...no means no. Take a hint and leave her alone you creep.

Same. And the other half of my brain is like, but 'what if there's a fire, sweetheart.' toast.

Mild spoilers
Definitely called 'Everyone Loves Me' for a reason😊. Both ML and FL are very popular. Getting confessions and people wanting to get closer to them. They don't honestly notice/show interest in other people. ML even rebuffs FL in person because he has a crush on her online, not knowing they are one in the same. As of ep 14, 3 people other than ML have tried to pursue FL in some way. Neighborhood friend(she honestly looks like she might be sick when she figures this out), younger team member(uses his interest to her advantage a bit), and a creep at an office party.

There is also a work triangle(not romantic) as the ML is trying to win over the FL to a fulltime position on his team, but his ex bestie is her team leader....soooo jealous tug-o-war over FL ensues.

Also with a lot of families that only have one child, getting a head start on grandbabies can be important. Whether it's to continue the family line or they just want to be an active grandparent. Also the whole, if we're gone my child will have no one to lean on, panic. It's the worry of making sure their child is settled and happy without them(parents).

Team one is so bad at their jobs they are constantly in other peoples' business and stealing. I really hope she permanently moves to the 9th team. It's so less toxic and more collaborative. Also treating your employees like crap and then expecting their loyalty is wild to me.

QL needs to stop working on ANYTHING that isn't Team 1 work on her Team 1 work computer. Her back is to the main office, which allows EVERYONE to see what she's doing. The amount of times people have looked over her shoulder and used that info to undermine her is getting to be ridiculous at this point. And somehow it's NEVER even remotely occurred to her that SHE is the leak. This is why I can't stand to have my back to the main room when working. I need a wall behind me.

i think last summer. so july 2023

first episode.

They show the boy's age difference in the flash back to the funeral of their parents. Do Han is older and the same age as the FL so inferred age gap. Ji Han was 8 when their parents died. I think the age gap is more like 4 to 5 years in the show. I think Do Han was about 12 or 13 with their parents died. Also, when Ji Han is talking to the 2FL who is also the same age as the brother he calls her "older sister".

Eldest son and daughter are from an arranged marriage. Do Han and Ji Han are from a love match.

All the cheesy bits are called out by someone in scene too which makes it funnier.
