Is this why there's been such weird "scandals" involving her this year? It's been noticeable how trivial…
The CEO is full of bs. It was him who was making waves from the back so she’d stay. Just goes to show that there wasn’t any actual dirt on her or she wouldn’t have been able to leave.
To everyone wondering why the FL is styled to look so young (when in reality she’s just a year younger than the ML actor) is because that’s how the character is presented in the novel.
In the novel, Tong Nian is very much into covering anime OSTs (which is mentioned in the drama as well), but she’s also into that style of dressing. In fact in the novel, she’s a younger woman than the ML who was always wearing short skirts, long stockings (though 100 den/cotton ones), and cute tops. She dressed like that before meeting the ML, and continued dressing like that afterwards too. I’d say that in the drama they really toned down the sexiness of her wear, which I imagine was for censorship purposes.
So stop blaming the drama. They were trying to be faithful to the original novel as much as they could given censorship limitations. If there’s one thing I’m unhappy with is that they didn’t maintain the FL’s long hair from the novel /sigh.
Additionally, for those wondering why she’s the one pursuing the ML, think about it: she’s a top student, a genius of her generation , you think she’s without ambition and a strong personality? She’s the type who knows what she wants and goes for it. She was portrayed as shy at times in the drama, but in the novel she’s actually much more driven and doesn’t fear much (remember that she chose to be a song-cover singer herself). The only time she shows some shyness is with the ML, but that’s mainly because she had zero experience with men and wasn’t sure what to do. Anyway, I think Yang Zi did a pretty good job with Tong Nian. And Li Xian was the perfect Gun 100%.
She literally had more fat than muscle, how is that healthy?? Do you know the insane back pain alone you get from not having enough muscle to sustain your body weight and frame? I had to go to the physiotherapy where I was made to do weights because my back muscles were too weak and I couldn’t even sleep at night from the back pain. The FL too had terrible sleep, quite likely from back issues as well. So no, being healthy is not fatfobic.
she was in go ahead with SWL tooi find her quite prettyrecently also appeared in some preiod drama i think
I have seen the actress in other works, but in this case I’m talking about the awful wig/hair they gave her. She’s got such pretty natural hair, I really hope they hadn’t ruined it.
Very enjoyable, the FL & ML had great chemistry and the plot line was pretty good, though the villains felt a bit too shallow.
What I can’t understand is the insane backlash. The work is fictitious, they are in no way distorting history (unlike other productions such as Bridgerton and the Crown), they only delved into a parallel type of universe whereby the Korean Monarchy survived into the current day. They did not alter anything that happened in the past, so why the backlash? Utterly nonsensical.
so women know what men want and read minds!? waw you have a great ability it's easy for you to please your husband…
I wasn’t blaming men at all. In fact I was blaming the overly unrealistic expectations that dramas and novels have created within women’s minds. My point was that women should express their needs and wants in a positive way and patiently guide their men on that learning journey, the outcome can be incredibly rewarding.
Great drama, very intense chemistry between the ML and FL, nice acting, and pretty good plot line (with some hiccups…
Also in the novel they have a baby, and how that baby was born was specifically significant because it brought the last bit of healing to the FL’s sense of guilt.
Great drama, very intense chemistry between the ML and FL, nice acting, and pretty good plot line (with some hiccups though).
They’ve changed quite a lot from the novel, and while the drama is enjoyable, somehow the FL’s growth in the novel is more meaningful and I wish they had gone down that plot instead of the one we got in the drama. The ML in the novel is also much stronger. He didn’t give an eff about Jiang Yan, and became a company CEO utterly independent from the Lu family so he could protect her from their interference, something he couldn’t do for his mum. His life is much more tragic in the novel too.
Spoiler below regarding the ending from the novel.
so you're not from tiktok generation. What do you think a man should be
I think you’ll have a hard time trying to find a man who is so understanding despite his gf hurting him over and over again. It’s obvious that in his case it was a consequence of his trauma from what his mum did, but most men are unlikely to be like that, and not just men, nobody has the obligation to accept being hurt and having their trust abused by their loved ones over and over again.
In their case they were very young and indeed didn’t know what they were doing, but that doesn’t change the fact that she had hurt him deeply. I’d say in time she realised she was wrong (more so in the novel) and put in the effort to change, so things worked out for them, but in real life such relationships are more likely to end than thrive.
Not saying it was wrong of him to forgive her, only that irl not many would behave that way.

I have no idea what you were trying to say in your reply but most men do say what they want if you ask them, though generally their needs are easier to predict. It’s an empirically proven fact. There have been many studies about it if you’re interested to read them. Anyway communication and patience is still key.
Utter nonsense. The drama is out already, why would CL seek to smear her post-release? Zero logic. And why would anybody find issue in using a stunt-double for stunts? The blurring has nothing to with her but the poor post-production editing. Smh.
Why did she suddenly start singing? I’m completely confused.

Got my answer. Her dongsaeng needs to be taught some manners
