This needs to be reposted constantly to remind veiwers. We get so used to other idol dramas where girl meets boy and they fall in love.

This poor girl doesn’t want to even meet him, doesnt want to fall in love, and each time she moves an inch towards him, an iconic scene happens, her minds is reminded of the ending., and she’s back at square one. 😂

They all did it too well imo.

I’ve been having ADWAD withdrawals and loving your coment.

Exactly - she happened. It may have played as the original script if SYM’s character were like the script BUT SXM is different. She’s not interested in following the same script. From the get go, she tries to change it by marrying cgh. She also is a different personality compared to SYM. Nh did plot to use SYM for political gains and may have become more ruthless had he met SYM instead of sxy. You would pity SYM instead of Nh had sxy not stepped in.

Sorry to hear. For me, it was a very enjoyable and well made production. Comedy, suspense, drama, political strategizing, a bit of romance. The constant satire and poking fun of all things relating to Chinese idol dramas and the amazing background music perfectly timed was a joy to watch.

There are any messages that applies to humanity, loving, etc. her character’s (SYM) father has so many good philosophical lines. Like : you cannot wake someone who wants to be asleep - referring to cgh.

His respect for Nh also grows - from complaining about wasting his best tea on Nh to voluntarily pouring and offering Nh his best tea. He witnesses the way each man treats his daughter and gradually changes mí mind on who is best for her. These subtle gestures are easily missed but makes it all the richer.

MAny ppl struggled with the female lead stubbornly hanging onto her prejudice against Nh. It’s painful for us to see him suffer so much - misunderstood by everyone including the fl. I try to remember that I get 20/20 vision but the characters don’t. She’s not the typical amazing super smart, hard working girl. She’s a lazy bum really, but does have a heart for those she loves once she’s invested in them. It just takes a while for her up get there. She generally views herself as a person inside a script and is mainly interested in living a cushy life as the SYM. This shapes the way she treats the characters - like she doesn’t think the ml will die b/c he’s the ml. However, her affection for him does grow subtle, just that her brain denies it and holds off.

The way I look at it, he’s the foil to Nh. Where Nh can do no right, cgh can do no wrong - in th e public eye. BUT they are polar opposites. Cgh represents all those who, once they believe/make a judgement on a person, they will never be sway no matter how much the evidence show otherwise. sadly, there is truth to this type of personality in real life. His character will continue to spiral downward b/c of his obsession that Nh killed his father.

As unlikeable a character he is, he is a bit of a tragic character as well. The 2ml never gets the girl and here, he falls further to the dark side.

Thanks for sharing the song! I loved all the songs and this was especially awesome and unique.

This drama holds a special place in my heart and will be one which I’ll be rewatching! So enjoyable.

Yup! Glad you can appreciate it for all the layers and depth. A smart drama .

Yi tong pretty good. For LYN, What chapter are you On? There will be more joyful scenes. However, this character is not exactly a joyful one. It would be weird if he was a joyful character like Nan Rui. His acting is improving as he learns and grows. This drama doesn’t rests entirely on his shoulders. Try’s whole team is good. you can tell they put a lot of effort into making this drama.

These folks were spewing hate beforr it even ended and most likely w/o viewing it.. A lot of ppl didn’t like the ending but recognize the great acting. Otherwise, we wouldn't be so crushed with the ending.

Hahaha… yes. It forces me to pace myself and not waste my day binging.

AJTL = A Journey to Love. Haters trolling discussion groups and websites to criticize and spew criticisms & lies of the show and actorduring its airing to discredit them

His downward spiral defies how most smls are generally depicted. He’s def. not a doormat and turn to the dark side is like what one viewer labels “Darth Vader”.

Also, he exemplifies righteousness gone array. The end does not justify the means.

Also, it’s satirizes costume dramas and has underlying messages against AJTL haters

YES! Absolutely funny! Up there with Filter. Both pull at your heart - crying out of laughter and pain/sadness. Both well made quality dramas with layers to ponder over.

But his character as annoying as it is, is also good. Loved how the drama portrayed his downhill spiral.

That’s why I watch it while it’s releasing eps. I also have no self control.

Basically, she’s’ supposed to be teaching him English but she’s clueless herself! 😂🤣🤣🤣

I think it’s just that many ppl want to be fed the same ole stuff. When something new and different comes, they’re not used to it and struggle to appreciate it. I watched POB, enjoyed it. This one, however, is so engaging and enjoyable on a different t way.

Seriously hard to move on. I was dozing off watching a new drama. Love the actress but it’s just. It doing it for me … sigh …
