I don't think I said kdramas are good or better anywhere in my review....
I've tried Jdramas without any BIAS and given them a fair chance last year. They just did not sit well with me. Maybe that's just my preference. I've very clearly said that Jdramas are not working for 'ME'. Why be so bitter and judgemental about someone else's likes and dislikes, lol?!

Omg same!

I agree, I think the spoilt attitude is just an act to hide his true feelings. His character development is what I'm looking forward to the most. :)

Hi, thanks for writing in and letting me know. Unfortunately, with an overgrowing PTW list, I've decided to let this one go and move on. It was not engaging enough for me to push through another 2 episodes! 😔 I guess it's true that to each their own. For me, the entire plot (though interesting in idea) was so badly executed that nothing was interesting. Just like how you found little filler, I didn't find anything engaging. But I've accepted that different people have different tastes and this is simply not mine. ☺️ Happy Holidays! 🌸

It's actually one of the good ones this year and does not have a lot of problematic stuff. Hope you liked it! :)

After such a long time, a drama without overthinking and complications for me. I was not left with cliffhangers and still waited for Wednesday all week. I loved every second of it. At this point, I can't be bothered reading about comparisons. Lucky me, haven't seen the original. This was def brilliant and the original being good does not take away from this one being good as well. To each its own, I'm just happy with how satisfying watching this show has been for me. 🌸

Okay, I need to know who's styling Ye Xiao Wei (if there is any way of knowing that) because he's looking fina af here and I'm in love that fashion (and him). It's so edgy yet so appropriate in a weird way. If anyone knows by any chance, please do let me know! :)

Unfortunately, I'm beginning to agree with this narrative. It's all fun till like Episode 15ish but then it becomes so repetitive and such a drag in terms of the creativity. And I also feel like the story takes away from the element of his disorder so much to tackle so many other "issues" they keep creating. Like at this point, I didn't even feel it was his disorder that brought the distance. Whatever, I'm so close to giving up and have already become 95% team Xu Guan Rui which is just sad because I already know that's not end game, lol xD

To be honest, I've not seen many c-dramas where women in corporate dress like the role. It's funny how all the other women in these shows give you a more corporate-y feel than the leads. Been in the professional world for 10 years now and I've never seen a woman show up in a mini-skirt with an oversized coat whereas that seems to be some sort of business attire norm in Chinese shows, lol. I can never get how just throwing a blazer over anything makes it formal. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm so impressed with Lin Yi in this one. We see his acting range so well here. I'm really enjoying seeing him. :)

I don't think she took his "burst out" so personally. She went back the next day with an open mind. But even if she did, I don't see any problem with it.

I mean, it's not so black and white. She has put up with his disorder quite well until now. It is completely okay for her to put herself and her own mental health first in some situations. Like you said, she has a right to get hurt and she doesn't have to be understanding of his trauma in every single situation. I'm not saying that ML was right or wrong, but whatever the trigger behind his actions cannot be a reason for the FL to not take it personally. If she stops neglecting her feelings, it would be more detrimental to their relationship (romantic or not) in the long run. Bottling up feelings by either one is not healthy. So, if she feels bad, I think it's justified for her to tell him so and take time to calm down and process things.

I personally think this time apart may be really good for them, unless the writers really just want to make us cry in a corner, lol. :)

I've been all about C-dramas more than k-drama these last two years. Had GA on my watchlist for so long but just never found the time for it (and I really dislike that I've not watched it yet). But in a way, when I read the comments here, I'm so freaking happy that I've not watched it yet. It's allowing me to enjoy FBC so much that I can't even explain. No comparison, a clean slate and so much enjoyment. :D
And maybe, just in a very weird case (if it so happens) that I don't like the show as it ends, I still have GA to go back and enjoy, lol.

To this extent? Omg, this is so horrible. Like, I know it's really bad but this is just too much yaa. It's inhumane! :(

Okay, there are mistakes in this one, but what just blows my mind is how lame they've portrayed their own business. Who lets their artist be bullied to this extent? I get it if it's once or twice but now this is just insane!

Thanks, I appreciate your honest opinion. But I have way too many things on my PTW list that I don't wish to continue this. 🙈 Maybe someday I'll come back, but for now, it's onwards and upwards. ☺️

And just FYI, my rating is not misleading. I have given enough and more reasons as to why I've rated how I have. Just like you have reasons for rating it high (if you do). Do you see me going around saying your rating is misleading?

As you said, I'm entitled to my opinion. I feel rating it 2/10 is also super high. I agree, unrealistic. Maybe I should change it to 1. :)
Just because everybody thinks its good and rates it high (which is why a good overall rating) does not mean I'm supposed to blindly follow. MY rating is based on MY opinion to which I'm ENTITLED.

I was stuck for at least 3 months at Ep 7. Picked it back up today because I'm (was?) very resolved to work on my currently watching/on-hold list. Guess what? Giving up at Ep 12 again! I just wish I find it in me to finish this show. I really want to but I'm just unable to!

I was having tea and laughed out so loud at "blame the script writer for this nonsense" and now there's water everywhere, lol. I mean, it's all true but I'm so frustrated with the lack of an actual storyline in this show (my Steven Zhang fangirl heart is crying because he looks just so fine here) that I can't help but laugh at this sorcery. xD

Okay, I don't know how to put it but I find the married couple to be very very toxic. At this point, it's not even about their annoying habits or their lack of observation/awareness. And now, if they introduce another meaningless storyline just to tackle this toxicity (that takes away from the actual deserving second couple), I'm going to be really really done.
