I discovered Up via Lovely Writer and then Mystand. He's simply adorable yet that that mature serious edge. I really like him.

I liked this, reminded me of a much fluffier Lovely Writer, only with less serious elements. Either way, ignore some of the overly negative comments and give this a go. I wasn't sure for the first 30 minutes of episode one, but I appreciated this for what it was. Nice, light, pleasant, fun. With a very handsome Job Krisz Ahandrik helping things along (but by no means is his handsomeness the key driver of appeal, it's honestly just charming)

This and the other auditor kdrama Numbers are both proof auditing is a fertile field for well-conducted drama thriller tv shows!

Yes, Hot Stove league, there is a certain vibe of that to things.

Not my cup of tea. Just can't imagine people behaving in some of the ways characters in this plot do. It could just be me, but this was a miss.

As I anticipated. What a pity.

Dropped at ep 12. Can't abide the FL.

I tried Wonderland of Love a short while back, but I remember losing track of it? Might give it another try. ATM I landed on 'My Beloved Wife' (a bit low budget, miniseries(ish)) but it's fine as filler goes?

Wanted to watch this, but heard its a sad ending so hard pass. Absolute rule 101: no sad endings ever. Not ever. Pity, this might have been good.

Same boat club.

Agreed! The down side is...I now have nothing to watch and the bar has been set so high! lol

Fantastic, avoided tropes, well acted and lovely all round. Best C-drama in years.

Same thoughts exactly.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this. I have high hopes, I swear if there's a sad ending I'll never watch historical c-dramas again! Haha! 🤣 Female power is always refreshing for a Chinese drama. I lectured in a Chinese uni for many years and was ALWAYS offended against the misogyny of powerful female figures in history. I recall one undergrad explaining to me her aunt (only 26!!) was labelled '剩女( pinying = shèngnǚ meaning 'leftover woman'). But an unmarried man of 30 is nicknamed a 'diamond bachelor'. So unfair, but makes sense when you consider the Confucian legacy (folk should read more Lao Tzu!!!) Long live powerful female representation in China. I'm perhaps too old now, but I'm tired of the demonisation of women in contemporary Chinese culture. Such a fabulous country, my heart is there and always will be...but I know how tough traditional roles (and representations) are for the young ones. It seems a lifetime ago when Den Xiaoping began opening up, such hopes. Not lost. Never lost. ♥

LOL! Your comment had me hooting 🤣

Ditto. This'll always be a hard pass for me too for that reason.

Ah dang, this is going to be another love triangle thing 🙄. Was looking forward to this, but think I’ll wait a bit until more episodes are out before trying to watch again. Can’t be bothered with a weekly love triangle thing. Was so looking forward to this… hmm. 😒

Thanks for sharing the link. Do the folk to did the subtitles have a 'buy me a coffee' or something so I can send them some thanks money their way?
