The fact that there is a 5 year old boy in the main cast is making me reluctant to watch this. I have read way too many CNovels and if there is a kid, it is ALWAYS a precocious 4-6 year old boy. Not a 10 year old boy, not a 1 year old boy. and certainly never a girl. It is always the exact same 4-6 year old boy who is cute, precocious & smarter and more articulate than his years.

um, i am sorry but i have just watched the first episode. NOTHING is trying to be realistic about this

I have just finished rewatching this, and I feel a lot of the issue is that this is very much a two person drama. Boss & Me and Love o2o have side characters that can stand on their own adding to the story. This does not. It's side characters are just supporting the story. They basically do not exist outside of supporting the central couple.

"Love Scenery" is one where I disliked the male lead. As the story & romance developed further and further, it felt like he was getting worse and worse as a character. Usually in CDramas & KDramas it is the other way round.

I really like the "love through gaming" sub-genre but it feels like all of them have big flaws.

This author's novels (and adaptions) are all about slow buildup of romance then steadyness after they get together. Personally "Boss & Me" is my favourite of her work, but I also like this a lot. More than Love o2o.

I am actually finding the biggest contributor to whether you like a drama is not so much the actors or reviews but whether you have liked the author/screenwriters other works

How long before the Male Lead improves? So far in the first two episodes I find him rather detestable.

Nevermind. Giving up. I find the ML and his friends pretty detestable. I guess this is for those who like their male lead arseholish

We never really saw how they were in the best parts of their relationship, only the bookends. BUT will you ask your girl her when she is coldly indifferent to you for years and can barely tolerate your presence. They got together years after the accident. This along with the blatant disdain he has towards her in the bookends are enough for me to believe they never discussed it

ok. the following three episodes are much much better (episodes 4-6). The FL has had her obnoxiousness toned down massively. And the ML has developed a personality. They are even very cute together.

The mother has disappeared thank goodness, and even the 2ml is less douchy, though that is probably because it is his younger teen self. What I thought was the 2fl has turned out to be the 3fl and she only appears in small doses.

The remaining issue I am having is the real 2fl. Looking at her bio, the actress seems to be one of the youngest in the main cast but she looks much older than everyone else. This is not helped by a truly atrocious wig. Even the bright red wig the female lead wore in one episode looked more natural and realistic than the ghost wig the 2FL wears (you half expect her to start crawling out of televisions).

Overall, I am glad I stuck with it through those terrible first few episodes. Looking forward to more cute and adorable moments between the leads.

Very few open endings are easily interpretable as happy though. They are usually interpretable as unfinished, unsatisfying, or unwanted.

Three Episodes in; this is a hard watch. The FL is narcissistic, lazy and dumb. This could have been mitigated somewhat if she was played by a stronger actress; but we got what we got. The Male Lead on the other hand is a blank slate. So far he has absolutely no personality, nothing for the audience to latch on to and cheer for. The 2ML and the 2FL are both straight up awful. The mother of the FL is loud and annoying. So the only thing to hold your interest in these early episodes is the mystery.

despite this having a much lower budget, and despite Rosy Zhao being one of my favourite actresses, this is a masterpiece compared to Oh My Emperor.

Only watched the first three episodes so far and this is what i have got;

Leo = Roaring (which seems like a narrower but more powerful version of Telekinesis)
Virgo = Telekinesis
Gemini = Duplication (give yourself a twin)
Pisces = Shapechanging
Aries = Superspeed
Libra = Time Slowing
Aquarius = Mind Reading
Capricorn = Petrification but seems more like freezing
Scorpio = Reflecting attacks

Cancer - don't know
Sagittarius - don't know
Taurus - don't know

but we do see someone throwing fireballs in training, so i am guessing one of the last three is that

Even when a Novel does have kids, often the drama adaption will remove them. I think hoping for a drama to add kids to a story when there was none at all, is less likely than hoping Santa Claus is real ;p

I am not sure I will make it to the end. I have just watched episode 3 and the Male Lead is very much an arsehole. At the moment I am watching purely for the budding relationship between Dan Dan and the kids (I am a softie for stories with kids bonding with a new parental figure).

I still have absolutely no idea what the big deal is that a young 5 year old kid slept with his nanny when there was a thunderstorm. In fact, I am not even sure what exactly the FL's job is since "live-in tutor" seems to mean "not tutoring" , nor "looking after the kids" but more like "just keep track of them and tell someone else about their movements". Her job could be replaced with a gps.

i am sorry, anyone championing SC amongst those three parentals, I have to suspiciously look at their judgement. SC tried to MURDER/SUICIDE his own daughter. Even if Yeon Shi was 10x worse than she is. She is still 1000x better than detestable trash like SC.

Sounds like your typical Thai Lakorn to me. Nothing new. Even my favourite Lakorn "Jao Sao Jum Yorm"; the villain tries to seduce his own sister, kidnapped her multiple times, tried to murder her husband multiple times, tried to ruin the businesses owned by both his sister and his father - and at the end is totally forgiven by everyone because he had daddy issues lol (though he was not redeemed in any way via the show).

I have only watched the first episode and boy is there a lot to unpack in regards to DD's family. Yeon Shi is gonna get a pass from me for the entire series (unless she actually murders someone), purely for her actions in saving DD as a baby and her willingness to be her mother.

On the other hand absolutely nothing is going to be able to redeem DD's father from "THAT" moment unless he throws himself on a bomb in a primary school to save a bunch of children. Detestable man .

Now not sure who Anna Kim is, but from the gist of your convo, she sounds like DD's bio mum. Just going from the first episode she is somewhat detestable though much less so than DD's dad. It would take a lot to redeem her in any meaningful way, but since this is a Korean Drama, which still often has a problem of saying villainous characters are forgiven at the end despite not bothering to redeem them in any way. (though not as bad as in Chinese or Thai Dramas)

Watching the first episode and am disliking the dad more than i dislike the mom. Does he get any better? I detest any parent who wants to commit a suicide pact with their child. Despite how the drama was trying to portray it, it was not sad, it was detestable.

The issue is, that the ML IS very much one of those fake people you meet in life. and at the end he is still very much the same person who is willing to ruin an innocent girl's life purely for his own selfish reasons.

um, not quite sure about that. According to your logic she is "trying to get rid of bad people" by harming innocent people. How is she in anyway different from the "bad people"?
