In a show full of ridiculous moments, the most ridiculous has to be a lobby manager in a 5-star hotel walking around half the day in torn pantyhose with no care in the world... 🤣

Oh yeah, that news was announced months ago. Nonetheless, it was still a disappointing second half for me. I had big problems with the pacing, and the humor felt like it regressed.

I loved this show so much!! but the finale was a disappointment. It changed the tone of the show a bit too much for my liking. Otherwise, this is one of the best modern romantic dramas imo, even though I understand why it's not many people's taste

very strong first half, quite weak second half. ended up disappointed, but I absolutely loved the first 25 episodes.

this chilli challenge is a humiliation ritual, my god. so painful to watch 😩😩 as an introvert, this is the WORST way to welcome them into a group where they're already self conscious

Have you watched Hold A Court Now? Beyond the Bar is one of my favorite dramas of all time, but HACN felt similar enough and I ended up really loving it

I caught that as well! I think the mean one might actually be starting to respect her (even if she'd never admit it out loud, haha.) I'm really disappointed by that youngest woman who I thought would be a real friend.

ooh, I get what you're saying. yes, it does feel tiring when you know they're just going to reuse the same plot points in each drama. I kind of feel the same about some xianxia - I get a bit tired of having to do the whole "3 lifetimes" arc.

I kind of love it in modern romance for some reason cause I'm messed up and I love a good breakup. I get bored watching people be happy for too long; give me angst and yearning. 🤣

🤣🤣🤣 that's fair!

aww, really? I looooove the hotel aspect. I think I just really love workplace romance dramas, because between this and Hold A Court Now which just ended, I'm having so much fun.

Miyu is clearly going to have a huge comeback, but it's just done in such a soap opera-ish way. Like, there has to be something bad happening in every single episode. I'm not a huge fan of the over-the-top melodramatic kind of storytelling, but other than that it's a really good show. And the actors are killing it.

I think she's about to grow a backbone!! based on how episode 12 ends.

well, yes. that's true for any story, Chinese or not. the author writes their story based on how they want the plot to go. we can only evaluate it based on whether it feels organic and true to the characters, which it does for HACN.

oooh come back to this comment when you finish 10 because that's where I finally gave up 🤣

I just can't keep feeling sorry for Miyu because she keeps putting herself in this position. At this point, I have to just conclude she's truly okay with everyone walking all over her, even her staff. It makes her life harder, but she's okay with it as long as it avoids conflict.

Until it goes too far and she finally snaps. But as for now, I'm struggling to see her as a victim. This is just how she prefers to run her life.

she went to the interview immediately, and she slept in the hotel dorm.

aww thank you 😊

hahaha yeah, ep1 was tough to get through cause everyone, including Miyu, is annoying. I mean, her husband literally says he doesn't like when her sister's family comes over, and then 5 minutes later she's wondering why he doesn't want to spend the night at their house. He might be a POS, but she's a sucky wife as well.

oh my gosh, thank you SOOO much. I tried everything- even Shazam couldn't find it.

there's no love triangle. perhaps you're reading too much into it?

I think this last arc is still quite meaningful. An important part of achieving your dreams is realizing some of them don't fit the person you are anymore.
