It was a good drama in my opinion. Not a great drama because the FL was absolutely horrible. I haven't seen her…
I have noticed in many Cdramas where they often show scientists are unidimensional nerds. I come from research background and let me tell you, most people, even from China, are more expressive and multidimensional than what is portrayed here and in other dramas.
There's some very weird writing choices in this series. The investor from the US speaks with the FL in terrible…
Completely agree on both points. Like if the actors cant speak English without accent and the character requires it, you can just change the character arc and show they are first gen immigrants or something. And I thought I was going crazy with the accent that sounded Cantonese but didnt know they were actually switching between Cantonese and Mandarin. Why? If the city is fictional, they can just use one language. The whole story is fiction afterall, they could take some creative liberties different from the novel.
I had been waiting for a brainrot romantic comedy for a while and was really excited. Just disappointed because…
Why they got to show the FL downing a sh!t ton of alcohol while she is pregnant, its not the character's fault but the writers should be writing a bit responsibly. Plus they also did not address the issue with the OBGYN, like what? Even if I were her and debating whether to keep the baby, I would still want to know how my astronomical alcohol consumption might have affected the fetus! I know 'suspension of reality' but this is next level ridiculous.
Being a mom, I cant imagine ever realizing I downed so much alcohol while being pregnant, I would have sobbed my eyes out at the thought of even remotely harming the baby.
I guess the beer companies are really ramping up marketing since alcohol consumption is declining worldwide. In a country like Korea, where drinking culture is rampant, they probably feel it a bit more to be pouring so much money in basically sponsoring a whole drama. This is the second drama where beer is the focal point.

Idk… these last eps I was really hoping to see some genuine yearning or desperation from her side, but the writers…
I am glad I am not the only who found their relationship a little toxic. Its like she knows he needs validation and is insecure but she keeps pushing those boundaries and never outright giving him what he wants.
One moment that really stood out to me was FeiFei running toward her father as he’s being shot. Even after everything, she still cares about him. Gao Feng once said that realizing your father is literally Satan is a hard pill to swallow, and that idea resonates strongly here. The only genuinely sincere thing in Wu’s life was his love for his daughter, even though that love still ended up harming her and effing up her life. But then Gao Feng's adopter father was no different.
i know i’m already 23 episodes in but can someone explain how LJL supposedly infiltrated into the rong family…
I think he was planning to infiltrate but ended up losing memory and falling in love with RSB. Then his friend jogged his memory and he continued to investigate since he was already in the Rong family close circle.
What exactly is RYS's issue with RSB (she's the blind sister)? She never did anything to her. She never bullied…
I think RYS is just jealous. She’s a maid’s daughter, and grandma probably never gave her mum any importance, and she knows she’ll never be treated on par with the others, especially since she doesn’t have a single talent to her name. All she can do is latch onto people like a leech just to survive.
I am not in either of the field but I saw a documentary on brain research. Actually there is a company in Europe…
You are right about Saudi! And dont get me wrong, I loved the romance part of it. I would love to have someone like Yusen pursue me. But its hard to ignore the propaganda part once you start noticing it in Cdramas.
Got it! I always found him suspicious. Plus he presented all the tea knowledge to the Rongs. Also grandma made a remark about how he resembles someone she knew to her attendant lady... I think she knows his origin. If she does, she is stupid to harbor and favor the snake that he is.

That was exactly my thought. And they had him in the general ward, they were also trying to show how good healthcare is that even a high flying CEO can go to general ward and receive excellent care!

I think its their way of telling their people the progress they have made to quell any ill feelings they might have for the party considering China went through a real estate bubble that popped, then the unemployment issues they are facing currently. I think the party is trying to show that although real estate popped, there are other sectors that are or will do well and everything is A-Ok! If you recall, Xiguang retorts to Rong or someone about how people need to stay back in industries that arent doing well even though real estate is booming (back in the early 2000s as shown in the show).
