This was the only weak point in otherwise a fantastic drama. So definitely continue watching it. The remaining characters definitely make up for it with great acting and story. Look past this and you'll have a great time.
Can someone please explain what this drama wanted to convey....
The story started fine in the first few episodes with the leads slowly building their relationship. The SML pursued the FL while accusing the ML. The SFL thinks she is the most suitable for the ML and sabotages the FL. The ML's mother disapproves of the FL. This is quite normal in this genre. But then the plot gets stuck. The same dialogues and arguments keep repeating, only the location of these encounters changes from China to France. The SML keeps stalking the FL even after she refuses his advances. After 30-35 episodes of the ML being bullied by the SML, his sister shows up and you realise it was completely unnecessary. They stretched it out for so long that I was dumbfounded. At the same time, you have to watch a documentary-style explanation of traditional Chinese fashion where the solution to every problem is the traditional embroidery that the FL is good at. I understand when shows like to promote their culture and was interesting in the beginning but later felt like a 15-minute product placement every couple of episodes. This might have gone unnoticed if the plot moved along as well. After all this, the SML's sister is cured, all the atrocious behaviour of the supporting characters is forgotten in a few minutes and now they are all friends. By the time you digest this, there is a time skip and the leads are now married. Some random guy popped up from nowhere and is now pursuing the SFL. The show is about to end but the disapproving mother-in-law still hasn't changed her stance. It ends with a wedding and a call-back to their childhood memory. ..... There was no payoff to the story. What was the point of all this? I'm not being hateful but am I missing something?
Can't these shows go without having to tease tension between ML and a female even when the ML is a Catholic priest?…
Exactly. Someone finally said it. In sister Kim's voice: hallelujah. Their friendship/chemistry felt so forced. In every scene the female prosecutor is placed right next to the ml and whenever he had a bad day only her character was allowed to approach him. It's as if the writer and director were forcing us to pair them together. Why doesn't this phenomenon occur in romcoms? Because that's where it's really required but noooo.... There they'll show the sfl consoling the ml creating more confusion and Drama. I was hoping she pays for her mistakes but they just let her off in the name of a happy ending
