unbiased??? god you are dumb thuz is totally biased
Paying internet to insult people you don't know..for a drama with actor la you have never met, as if you are being paid is the dumbest thing I have ever seen..You call people dumb but you should look in the mirror..We don't all have to like the same thing.. I will not reply to whatever you write back..you seem to be the type. Have a nice life
Sheesh I just watched "Secretly Greatly" like a week ago.. The curse of Korean celebrities being killed by the media, knetizens, allegations and bad justice need prayers and fasting..This is too much. RIP Lee Sang Bo 😭 💔 🕊️
Someone explain to me in a short paragraph why is this drama 8.8.. yes I like Chen XingXe and Lu YuXiao but I dropped it at EP 10.. I couldn't find any more courage to continue
Who wrote his Bio? the man has done like 20 dramas, movies and variety and the best thing to mention is that he married Eugene in 2011? MDL shame on you
It's been a minute since I watched Shin Hae Sun ( I skipped Dear Hyeri) also wanted to see Kim Jae Won again after Hierchy..sigh (singing "Let it go, let it go")
I hadn’t seen Wallace Huo his 2015's "Love Me If You Dare", and honestly? The wait was absolutely worth it.,He still convinces you that he is not acting. And don’t even get me started on Zhu Zhu, my brand-new favorite FL, no debate..She oozes such aura of grace and class.. (cute dimples alert)..hats off Dr Gu
It feels like we’ve officially stepped into a new era of writing.No more living on a steady diet of fantasy romances and Cinderella tropes. This drama says, “Wake up, we’re adulting now.” Relationships and marriage aren’t social checklist items anymore, and the shift is right there in the writer’s notes. It’s refreshing, it’s real, and it works.
And the OST, phewww someone said that the music director on spectrum with the background music..symphony opera add a classical makjang and Chinglish ballads..it was well collected
With the production quality and the performances, this drama easily deserves an 8.6/10. It could have been an easy 8.8 for me, its short length really worked in its favor, but the side characters just didn’t bring anything memorable to the table. The script was clearly ML-centered, and honestly, I’m not mad about it because his storyline (and his acting) carried the whole drama beautifully.
If you are in the dating era, you are 30+ or have "adulted" enough to know that life isn't a bed of roses, you might find this one of the most challenging romance dramas ever written. It’s a series for those who understand that nothing is as it seems, diving deep into the messy complexities of love, infidelity, and the psychological hurdles of real-world relationships.
The Highlights: The Leads: Wang Ziwen and Liu Yuning deliver incredibly nuanced performances. Their chemistry is grounded and real, rather than just "idol-style" sweet. Despite the their complex backstories, they communicate when need be and they know that they are eachother's last stop.
Vengo Gao (Gao Weiguang): His addition was a masterstroke. He provides the much-needed humor, quirkiness and levity that balances out the show's heavier, grittier themes. Ensemble Storytelling: This isn’t just a vehicle for the main stars. If like me you’re a fan of Liu Yuning or Wang Ziwen, go in with an open mind; the side stories and the characters that bring them to life are just as vital to the plot. Once you get past the initial setup, it truly grows on you.
The Verdict: It’s not for everyone. It’s a slow-burn, sometimes uncomfortable look at how we "test" love and often break it in the process. But if you’re looking for a drama with actual substance that stays with you, this is it. So far I can give it a good 8.6 And 9/10 for Original Creator, Gong Yuanqian
Thank you to the legend who listed this on MDL..I remember looking for it after I finished it.. Definitely one of the best vertical drama ever produced
It's a political romance that luckily kept the romance out..Also it's says 15+ as an appropriate age.. I don't think it was violent or traumatic..I have seen way worse
Imagine us reading a review written 14 years ago..A piece of history for us..thank you I loved it.. just so you know, we no longer have these types of scripts, directors or companies willing to overstep the sensitive work we live in.
