After 4 episodes and loving every moment of it - even the cringeworthy ones! Show puts a smile on your face - each couple is fabulous 😊

Phl - Yes, it does feel that way with the ML at times. My thoughts are he is very much working out how to use his authority. So, I think he is not weak, but very unsure. His cleverness starts to shine through in later episodes and FL is a key part of that. I am all caught up and am glad about that - because now I can watch some other shows 😂😂😂

Phl - I’m glad your saw my comment, because I was going to mention to you it’s worth a dabble. My family asked me a couple of nights ago what I was laughing at. So, I told them about some of the scenes re HJ’s knife skills. Show gets better and better 😊

Phl - I just finished eps 27 and 28, and I am very happy with how they unfolded. That’s interesting re the screenwriter. I had a quick look too and couldn’t find anything conclusive. I will try and make my way through more of the novel today. As for their chemistry - you do have to hand it to them. The expression in their eyes - amazing!

One quarter of the way through (9 episodes finished) and I can say I am enjoying show very much. It is funny, the OTP are warming up to each other and the bad guys are played with their tongues firmly planted in their cheeks. So, good all round light hearted entertainment - take a look 😊

I enjoyed eps 23 and 24. I thought there was a good blend of lighter moments, what it takes to be a professional actor and re-establishing of their friendship. I also thought the time spent on the sister’s story was well done - not wasted or trivialised, like we see in so many dramas.

A fabulous show let down by the final two episodes - kdramaland can’t help itself - the writer had to throw those typical tropes in there, even if they had a softer edge to them. Other aspects just fizzled out. Without doubt, the ladies ruled this show - they were terrific, as was Chairman Grandpa - an absolute delight. Show does deserve a special episode just to balance out things a bit 😊

I couldn’t have said it better, myself 😊

She is delightful - there definitely should have been more scenes of her 😊

A beautiful show, that although the final episodes themselves were beautifully done, became a victim of past kdramas and how this “type” of show must end. We have had so many shows change things up in kdramaland in the last 12 months, and 25 21 was doing this too - then somehow made its way back into familiar territory.

Was it realistic? Hmmm. Do we become our parents? Hmmm. Is professional pressure an issue - yes. But you know, there are many couples and families that make their situation work - it’s time to see this, instead of floundering, awkward communication from a couple who, were, good communicators! We’re there big gaps in the story in the end ? As others have said - yes. The time skips truncated the issues and the resolution of the diary suffered too. This was the weakest point in my mind.

Did I want a different ending? Selfishly - yes 😊

The acting was superb. The writing, despite where it ended up for me, was very good. The use of dramatic licence (fencing matches etc - so well done) - also very good. The production - once again high quality. Should the actors be proud of what they did here - absolutely.

I am watching them now, Phl!

Ep18 - how can you end an episode like that? Anyway, a nice little cliff hanger 😊

Yes, there is. I liked their relationship very much 😊

Ep,9 - 10/10 😂🤣😂

It is just the sweetest, phlrxd - even with the second last scene in the end credits where they make a love heart together (it changes sometimes), and the song “Love Will Find A Way” is one of the best I have heard in a long time.

Here we are at the halfway mark. In the lead up, Ep 14 was blistering. With Ep 15, I thought the change up was done well, but Xiao Zhao is no longer cool in my opinion. Still on with the show and here’s to our most amazing couple 😊

The minimalist approach re Grid is excellent. I think it is proof that you don’t need crammed storylines, longer episodes and over the top effects to make a show “a must see.”

We did have some thought provoking moments during Ep6 - the hints given by the Ghost re the use of, or how “time” works, are classic and intriguing. Other connections between the main leads also seem to be firming up nicely as well.

However, as much as I enjoyed Ep6, the exaggerated moments during the interrogation sequence were pure dramatic licence, but I guess we know kdramas tend to do that as a way of achieving emotional impact or buy in.

Overall, some very good acting going on and, for me, the events are happening at a good pace. Do the Major, the Director, the Minister and the ex-husband need a good slap and takedown - absolutely 😊 Lets hope our detective and hero have the last laugh in the remaining episodes ahead.

I think this is so refreshing to watch such a relationship in a show and as a result to wish nothing but the best for them 😊

Despite all the idiocy in this show, the hospital scenes during ep 48 were hilarious 😂

I dropped it back at ep 22 😂
