Well, he's a million times less toxic than the mother in the original, BUT he nags nonstop.

I understand how important this movie is in terms of its message, but I'm still really surprised that anyone thought it would be a good idea for a child to play a role that involved full nudity and sexual assault. I suspect it would be illegal today for such a movie to be made.

I really enjoyed this. Gina Jin played a similar role in "Falling Into You", and I enjoyed her in both of these dramas. This is a light, easy and fun watch with plenty of feels and little angst, which is what I like in a rom com. Gin Jin is beyond gorgeous, and Wang Zi Yi is eye-candy for the ladies (and gay guys too I suppose).
I've read some comments that criticised Wang Zi Yi's acting, and I diagree with those comments. In my opinion, his acting was perfectly adequate for the role.
The other thing this drama got right was the ending. I've watched so many dramas that I loved, but felt that they didn't quite get the ending right. This drama (for me at least) nailed the ending perfectly and left me very satisfied. I love Noona romance stories, and this is one of the very best I've ever seen. 9/10 from me.

A short, fun, fluffy watch. 8/10 from me.

I watched the original Korean drama (I Can Hear Your Voice) a couple of years ago and enjoyed it, so when I discovered this remake, I thought I'd watch it. Contrary to what some other commentors below thought, I actually enjoyed this version more than the Korean original. I especially enjoyed the comedy acting of Qi Wei in the first half of the drama - she's really funny. 8½/10 from me.

Love and Milk just seem so comfortable with each other. This is in part because they are good actors, but they also seem to have a natural chemistry. When I watch them, they look like girlfriends, not like two actors playing girlfriends. They genuinely seem to enjoy working with each other - those smiles are not fake.

Got through 4 episodes before dropping it. Although the acting and cinematography were exceptional, the storyline was just a soap opera. This one's not for me, although obviously I'm in the minority if the MDL rating is any indication.

I'm fine with imperfect characters, including characters making mistakes, or even acting irrationally (especially if emotional). But if a behaviour is so out of character to be completely unbelievable, then it creates a plot hole - and plot holes are always the result of poor writing. There is no way I could bring myself to believe for one second that someone as intelligent, mature and responsible as Lu Zhaoxi would plan, and then carry out such a juvenile act.

Whenever I see Kang Han Na is in a new drama, I get flashbacks to "Empire of Lust". https://kisskh.at/9256-empire-of-lust

Yes - they will need to cut a LOT from the second half of the novel. I'm also curious what they leave in.

Once again, you're just simply wrong. Anueng NEVER considered Nueng anything remotely like an Aunt. The novel makes it very clear that Anueng fell in love with Nueng at first sight, and after secretly stalking her for two weeks, finally worked up the courage to approach her as a paying customer. Anueng then relentlessly persued Nueng, as shown in the story of "Blank".

You're just wrong. Nueng met Anueng FOR THE FIRST TIME a few weeks prior to the start of episode 1. But that is a side issue. YOU accused Chao Planoy of writing about and defending pedophilia. As you have clearly demonstrated, you don't know what the word means, because Chao Planoy has NEVER written about nor defended pedophilia. Your false accusation is straight up libelous. If you hate Chao Planoy and/or her work so much, why are you here in the comments section of a drama based on HER WORK. Why don't you find a drama that you ARE INTERESTED IN and add some comments in there. As I've already said, if you don't like her novels, don't read them. If you don't like dramas based on her work, don't watch them. If you don't like age gap dramas, don't watch them.

So I was correct - you DON'T know what a pedophile is. There's this thing called the Internet that you can use to look up the meaning of words. That way, you won't look uneducated when you use a word incorrectly. But to save you the effort of looking up the word yourself, I'll help you out. A pedophile is a person who has a sexual interest in a CHILD. In the novel "Blank", Arueng is 18 years old. If you think an 18 year old woman is a child, then I can't really help you.

I'm pretty sure you don't actually know what pedophilia is. But feel free to prove me wrong by explaining which of Chao Planoy's novels she writes about pedophilia and where she has ever defended it.

If you don't like her novels, don't read them. If you don't like dramas based on her novels, don't watch them. It's quite simple actually.

I also hate nobel idiocy in dramas, so I guess this drama might not be for me. Also, I would dispute he only hurt her in Ep 23. I only watched 4 episodes and his treatment of her would have, at the very least, lead to humiliation.

I dropped this drama after 4 episodes because I could no longer tolerate the male lead mistreating the female lead, and her "doormat" like behaviour in continuing to be interested in him after his mistreatment. So, what about this drama did you like so much that you consider it the best drama you've seen? When did the male lead stop mistreating the female lead, and did the female lead ever stop being a doormat?

I only watched 4 episodes before dropping it because the ML's mistreatment of the FL annoyed me too much. And the FL's continued interest in the ML after he treated her poorly made her look like a doormat in my eyes. So, why do you love this drama so much? How long does the ML mistreat the FL for? If you're willing, please give me a reason to reconsider this drama.

I'm happy to get recommendations for shows. I'm reasonably new to Chinese dramas, but as you'll see on my list, a considerable portion of my all time favourite dramas (scored 9 or above) are Chinese. But I've also dropped a lot of Chinese dramas - it seems I either love them or hate them. Personally, I love Noona romances, but I will probably like any cute and fluffy rom-coms with only a low dose of angst. I get enough angst from Korean dramas. Also, I generally don't like historical or fantasy dramas, BUT I'm willing to give almost anything a go. If I don't like it, then I will simply drop it and move on to the next drama. Finally, I don't have a very high tolerance for women being mistreated in dramas, which is something that seems quite common in Chinese dramas, and was the main reason why I dropped L&P.

I saw some other commenters criticising Duan Yu Cheng's immaturity, but I didn't see it ... until now. I'm up to episode 10, and he's becoming jealous, rude and disrepectful towards his coach. I love Noona romances, BUT I need the younger male to EARN the privilege of dating the older, more mature female by BEING MATURE. I'm still very much enjoying the drama, but I'm hoping for some quick character growth before the main characters get together. It is uncomfortable to watch an adult dating a child (in terms of maturity, not physical age).
UPDATE: Just finished episode 16 and there definitely has been some character growth. Duan Yu Cheng seems to have matured somewhat.
UPDATE: Just finished episode 20 and there has now been significant character growth from Duan Yu Cheng, to the point where I now believe a 28 year old female assistant coach would be willing to date him.
UPDATE: Just finished episode 24. I now completely believe them as a couple. There are still glimpses of immaturity from Duan Ye Cheng, but nothing that would make me think he shouldn't be with Luo Na. (Although he had a bit of a relapse in episode 25 when he briefly threw a "you don't love me as much as I love you" tantrum.)
I also want to mention that I don't like it when writers make an unverified internet rumour be sufficient to derail someone's career/life/etc. I've seen a few dramas lately where this has been used, and in my opinion, it is a lazy (and entirely unbelievable) way for the writers to inject conflict into the narrative.
Overall, I loved the drama, however I felt the last three episodes were rushed, and I didn't find them very satisfying. I still gave this drama 9/10, but if they had done a better job with the last episodes, it would have been a 9½/10, which would have put it in the top 5 dramas I've ever watched.
