Hiya, long time! How are ya?! I'm enjoying it immensely.

It's not following the novel at all, just the names.

That's right. He has a whole office??? full of these plants. And his human agave is in it that day ;-).

It's probably not your cuppa. Just wait for a month or two and decide then. That way, you won't need to keep asking people to convince you when nobody has watched the show beyond the first couple of days. There are other good dramas out there. Cheers.

One child policy when this was written made the story make sense. The character was a "hidden" child.

I disagree. He nailed it in the first scene when he played cool cat to her breezy visitor during the agave scene. Then he pulled her in for an interview and made the chase over dinner. He had his eye on her all along and was making slow moves because he wanted her to think he fell in love with her. He should show his real face soon. So, thus far, William Chan the actor is playing HaoMing as written quite well.

HaoMing knew all along and purposely chose her as his girlfriend.

It's not unknowingly, I don't think.

LOL I got on the train after I saw him dancing in one of his concerts. WOOT!

Me too. The synopsis of this drama (above) reads promising.

I thought this review of the first four episodes (YT) was spot-on and fair. However, it uses an AI voice (not my cuppa) and there is one mistake (MIL liked opera). This review has spoilers as it deepdives into the characterization.

Do you agree?

LOL. But if he meant it ironically...like he knew about her father's business.... Heehee.

+2 and +3 Heh heh.

It is very good so far--the script is tight with hardly any room to "breathe" as the web of lies get tighter. William Chan is in his element here, playing along, watching, manipulating. I'm sure he'll be given more screen time as his secrets are unveiled.

Looking forward to his regret!

It's all physical and outside right now. He plies her with expensive baubles and chooses a house; she wears all these different fashion for each persona. Her emotional side is shown as her past.
They both analyze each other, trying to mold each other. She is in love but I'm not sure about him.

Yes.

You're just like what you critiqued--unlikeable, a load of rubbish and forgetable, Ms NotSoBeauty.

Well, we don't know what you like, so not sure how to tell you anything.
For me, it is a great to watch, but I like my romance with a little suspense and I like red and grey flag protagonists. I'm not into sweet too much, but I did enjoy Hidden Love. THIS? Is not Hidden Love.

I'm crossing my fingers for 30,000
