Michelle Topham

By the way, is anyone else loving that ending theme song as much as I am?

I've been playing it on repeat on Spotify where, sadly, it has only garnered just over 9,100 plays so far. Would have thought it would have been more popular, it's so damned pretty.

Thanks. I also have WeTV VIP and it's on there too. Actually really looking forward to this, as each episode is only 25 minutes and I've been looking for something fun that's a little shorter. Will probably start it tonight :)

I never ever get withdrawal symptoms from a drama as I just move right onto the next one, but I'm REALLY going to miss everyone in this. Bloody brilliant all the way through.

Taught English in Thailand for a few years during the decade and a half I lived there, and always used to laugh at my Thai students who butchered so many English words, including even pronouncing my name Michelle as 'Michen'.

There's just something hilarious (and very cute) about many Asians speaking English. Just like there is about westerners trying to speak Thai, Chinese or Japanese.

My Thai students used to howl laughing when I spoke to them in Thai --- "Teacher Michen, why you speak Thai like that?" - hahahahaha.

I'm a naturalized American citizen with a still very British accent, and even I can do a better American accent than that -- hahahahaha.

Oh wow, thanks for the recommendation. Just added it to my To Watch list (and, man, that has an excellent cast!).

As for ADWAD, this is quickly becoming one of my Top 5 dramas of all-time -- IF the ending holds up compared to what we've had so far :)

Even better with the thick Chinese accents :)

True :)

Hilarious when NH noticed that :)

No it isn't really though. He's the driving force behind the entire story. If he didn't exist, the story wouldn't exist either. Those scenes also served to fill in a lot of the plot holes, and to foreshadow what's coming.

By the way, to all those who haven't yet figured out who the screenwriter is -- were microphones in existence back then? :)

Yep. He commented he "created CGH. He knew where the ginseng was for the villagers to find because he wrote it into the script. He is now "predicting" coming events because he's writing them.

He was also singing using a candlestick as a microphone. Remember, they didn't have microphones back then :) -- That was the first dead giveaway.

And don't forget, he's not actually CGH's father, he's just assumed that persona. As even CGH noticed his personality was completely different.

That was because this was the big reveal -- ie: who the screenwriter is.

Dropped the light novel, the manhwa and the anime -- all were a big snooze. Will be interested to see if the directors and BWS can create something interesting this time.

They did a brilliant job with Ashfall. This is right up there alley.

He's like the man who got dropped on his head as a baby. Clueless and ignorant about absolutely everything until, his brain dislodges itself from his stupidity for 10 seconds, and he says something intelligent :)

Brilliant job in the part by Chang Long tho :)

This one is the best C-drama of 2025 so far. No competition.

He's the screenwriter. That became obvious as soon as he began speaking - talked about "creating" CGH, the villagers suddenly find ginseng because he put it there, he's "predicting" everything because he's writing it, and btw, he doesn't have the same personality CGH's father had. CGH noticed that immediately.

Well, now we know who the screenwriter is :)

It's literally based on a Korean web novel. Why shouldn't it be?
