This really is a multifaceted drama. I can't think of another one that has so many lessons and meanings in it. And all of that not even mentioning how it is basically a revenge for what happened during AJOL airing. Chef's kiss.

The comedy level stays pretty consistent until episode 23ish, then it gets a bit more serious, but there are still a lot of funny moments until the very end 😊

This is a story about having to get to know people before judging them. About taking initiative in your own life. About dwelling in hate and never seeing the actual truth. But also about love, trust and friendship. So to answer your question - there is a lot of romance, comedy, action, and it's very well balanced.

So happy that they didn't spend time on what happened to the "real" SYM and NF. I didn't know them and don't care. I only care about NH and SQY. Wish they did the same in Mr Queen. Sigh.

They all die basically, but at the end there is a very confusing scene of lead's children (which they could not have if they died). So there are two camps, one claiming all died, and the children are just imagination, the second that they maybe survived.

This was just so perfect story to heal after two dramas that left me aching the most after their ending - AJOL and Mr Queen. Bravo to the creators. Such a high quality story doesn't come often. I am so impressed. Bawled my eyes out.

This show is basically a revenge for what happened during airing AJOL. When I learned about it, it really opened my eyes that such a second layer has been included

SYM, LSL and CGH plotting Nan Heng's death was the best by far 🤣

I read what happens, but for treating NH like shit for 19+ years he should repent for another 19 years at least 😤

He doesn't deserve to be called father 😡

I feel this way with cdramas overall, I would appreciate max 1 ep a day, I just can't keep up with this schedule 😭 not even mentioning that I'd like to savor it and maybe rewatch some eps while I'm waiting for the rest, it makes me love the drama even more

Based on his livestreams, my guess is he'd say that if international fans want to see him, they should go visit China 😆😆 poor us

One classic trope I DO NOT WANNA SEE in this drama is memory loss at the end 🙄

I know it's hella random, but when the 2ML wears LSL's mask, his eyes remind me of Gong Jun 😅

So how did she die? She did become a fierce corpse in the end

But didn't she survive the triangle stabbing in the original script? Only to be killed when falling haha

Well said, that's exactly what I thought too! When you're watching day by day, when a plot is dragging and the expectations are high you're getting tired and frustrated easier. Depending on my watching pattern and number of episodes, I can forgive different things 😅 like with a 12 ep kdrama which airsonly 2 eps per week, the time is so limited, that if the romance doesn't happen fast and they decide on a breakup, I feel that they are wasting precious time. But with 40ep cdrama, we get so much content, that the romance doesn't need to be fleshed out in every ep. With ADWAD we got so much well written and logical romance in the first half of the show, that even if I want more, I already feel really satisfied 😅 of course I'm not saying that certain things aren't frustrating, but I'm more understanding haha

I'm still a bit behind, at ep 20, but reading all you guys' opinions on the angst I am starting to feel anxious too 😭 I'm always the first one to write any of my problems and concerns about a drama so I totally understand any discussions, I just wish we could be more positive even when we are frustrated 🥲 I just rarely feel as good as I was when I started the drama, so I'm giving a benefit of the doubt I guess, even if it falls a bit flat...

Hahaha I kinda see it too!

I recommend Knight Flower! But honestly, same, most kdramas just go for that low-effort, cringy humor usually brought by three ahjummas that have no other purpose in the story...
