I love it too. Not just the acting - everything. This screenwriter and director have created a masterpiece.

Hi! I haven’t seen that one, but will have to look at her dramas and see if they’re on the services I have.

Hiw are you liking this one??

Thank you! she’s such a cute little girl, I didn’t think I had missed her in the cast list.

Am I missing the little actress who portrays the FL’s sister in this cast listing? I don’t see here there. She’s so good at such a young age!

You’re welcome!

in case anyone wants to read the novel, here’s the link for it in English:

Beautifully written, and I completely agree. Everything about this drama is masterfully done. I’m looking toward to the balance of the episodes, and reading the novel while I wait.

Thank you for your review!

Sane for me. It was rushed and too disjointed. FL ended up throwing a temper tantrum and her character completely deviated from who she was. it’s too bad, as it stated off as quite endearing.

This was such a sweet surprise! I wish it had been a drama instead of a movie.

Adorable. I have laughed and reminisced about my school days. The story has a very heartwarming affect. Realizing the importance of friendship, and the difficulty in trying not to disappoint your parents, but wanting to do what you’re gifted to do - not something you’re forced into.

Her hatred/jealousy goes back further than that. FL corrected her use of the wrong word, and she flipped out because she was afraid the FL would take her job and point out how inferior she was even after going to college. She had no idea how to accept correction and overcompensated every action she had with belittling and screaming about how much she was valued by their supervisor.

Feng Lin = cockroach, not a termite 😂

I plan on it. Distracting myself with some writing and art. Will be back to another episode in a little bit!

It is a very emotional drama. I had to stop for an emotion break after watching thru ep11. I feel so bad for him, and kinda want to beat people up who have misjudged him because of their obsession with status. This is the 4th time I have had to do this.

I agree, but it’s also interesting that they introduced that most women blame themselves and only cling tighter instead of forcing the truth out and either work on repairing the break in the relationship or ending it.

I agree. What I find interesting is that the FL is facing the things she did and thought of as doing a service has actually brought people a lot of pain - and now that she sees exactly how hurtful her actions were, she’s having a conflict over justifying what was morally wrong. She’s finding her tactics were no less deceptive than those she sought to expose as cheaters.

I just hope she comes clean with the ML and lays all her past “sins” bare, expresses remorse and allows him the opportunity to either accept or reject the truth and love her anyway.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

You’d have to read the novel to get more of the ML’s backstory to understand his mischievous but innocent view on a lot of things.

He was an ”oops” baby and neither of his parents paid any intention to him. Instead, they left his education to his siblings who wanted nothing to do with him…basically threw a book at him told him to read it and forgot about him. He was always getting into trouble, and then got beat for misbehaving. By the time everyone in his family realized he was causing trouble they gave up on him, gave him to his grandmother to raise, and she spoiled him but gave him no discipline. Then after his parents were reported and being investigated, his grandma passed away and his mother sold everything out from under him (his grandma left everything to him) and took all the money. He had no money to buy food, which was why he was always borrowing from the FL when he was in school with her. After he was “sent down” for reeducation, he did anything he could to help people, even jobs no one wanted to do. So when he met the FL years later, he couldn’t help but fall for her because she was the only one to give him attention and consideration. He’s actually very smart, and quite gifted artistically (this is played out better in the novel in my opinion, but restrictions in episodes and censoring can be limiting to some story lines.)

I was laughing hard during that scene…and the coworkers face when she asked her to basically have mercy was so worth it.

Elite? 😂😂😂😂😂 What a silly thing to assume of a person you’ve never met. I was one of 3 children raised by a single mother who had to leave us in the care of a neighbor because my alcoholic father abandoned us for a woman he had an affair with. The babysitter ended up being a physically abusive nut job who beat us regularly with a leather razor strap amongst other things. We had no money because housing where I grew up was expensive and any clothing we had was donated to us. Foid was brought by neighbors. I nearly died from a strep infection after an accident and spent months recuperating and trying to stay alive and trying to protect my younger siblings. We ate tge same things everyday because they were cheap and kept our bellies full. Bullied at school because we were poor. And stop making assumptions over generalized statements. I could go on, but since you’ve assumed completely inaccurately, you won’t read more - you’ll just jump to more conclusion. Compared to many countries around the globe the US population was not forced in way to obey the government like the people who lived under tyrannical governments that used them as cheap labor and cared little for their existence. Elite? Laughable. Don’t bother responding, I’ll just block the ignorant comments.

I just started reading the novel (only a few chapters in) because I’m waiting for more episodes to drop.
