Finally managed to binge watch and see what all the hype has been about. In short, really enjoyed it, I found it hilarious and cute and true to what it set out to be - a fluff ball of a rom com. It kinda let me down in parts esp I felt the ending was a bit lacking, but overall a fun watch.

The comments seem pretty divisive and I can see how show won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. But it was a fun ride. Initially hesitated to start because I thought ML reminded me a bit too much of WWWSK’s ML down to the hairstyle, but he really grew on me. What a cutie. FL also from some angles looked so much like a photocopy of Song Hye Kyo (right? Surely I’m not the only one who thinks this). Show does require quite a healthy suspension of belief, but I liked that it didn’t take itself too seriously and there were some absolute LOL moments, which is honestly rare for me!

Major second lead syndrome in force for this drama. Eddie Kim is everything.

Yes, even/especially with that cliffhanger ending; how much would we have loved to see Tsao Yu Ning act it out in season 2? Heartbreak.

Thanks! No worries I guess I’ll be there soon. I am liking it so far but came over here to read spoilers specifically like this so I can manage expectations.

I’m so sad! I just started and it looks so good! Had high hopes for this one.

I also really hate it when the FL disproportionately “punishes” the ML to the extent it becomes annoying. If you remember, may I know roughly what episode this happens?

I’m very stressed out about it tbh. I think I’m going to try to watch something else while waiting for everything to finish and then check back on this page and decide whether to dive into the last 6 eps. I don’t think I could bear it if it does not end well 😞

Yeah but that’s the thing about “chemistry” right, I should think chemistry = whenever the 2 leads are on screen at the same time, whatever interaction they are having. Agree about the writing, although I may have been able to close both eyes and write it off as fluffiness had there been actual sparks between the leads.

I wasn’t intending to comment about this show but wanted to say I agree with you wholeheartedly. YAMG ruined me 😭 was curious about this one because of Gina Jin and hype. Can’t even remember which episode I made it to before deciding I couldn’t go on. I’m not sure why everyone says the chemistry is awesome between the leads, not sure if we were watching the same show.

Yea omg I loved how cute they were tgt, which was what propelled me through to this last episode. I also agree, it’s probably set up as a death/coma but maybe they thought it would be unpopular and decided to add on the Europe thing last minute? But it was just so confusing!

Thanks for this breakdown! I have watched all the shows you referenced (as I love egaming romance too) so this comment is so helpful to give me a rough idea of what to expect. I didn’t like this FL actress in perfect and casual so was hesitating but will give it a shot. I totally share your sentiments about FIYS FL (I couldn’t complete FIYS because I just couldn’t continue) but I really enjoyed xukai and his character so I’m looking forward to this one!

Ikr! Cry fest in part 2! Although tbh I find I’m oddly zen about all this relationship angst and revenge/ massacre the couple are headed for - for me the real tragedy is if the insult to all mothers out there never gets what she deserves by the end

I just asked this question in one of the threads below - apparently he gets exiled and they get separated for about 5 years cos he kills the Ling clan.

Tysm 🙏🏻 That sounds like a cryfest.

What was the reason for the breakup/ exile of LBY?

Omg so am I, I guess will have to wait for part 2, but I hear that it will happen and that gives me hope

I second this 🙌🏻😂

I’m on like ep 5/6 and wanted to come here to ask if her horrible excuse of a mother (a) dies a tragic death or (b) realizes her absolute failure as a mother, repents and regrets by the end of part 1, but I see it was wishful thinking on my part seriously

Ok I am persevering I am on episode 20 😀 I agree it’s a really good drama but I’m still not over ML’s hair I’m sorry I’m totally superficial here

You’re welcome! I also like the ML and FL individually and they were so cute together! Unfortunately that wasn’t enough to save the ridiculousness of the later episodes.

I’m on episode 1, heard so many good things about this drama but I’m finding the ML super unappealing. I can’t get past the strange hair and crappy suits (he’s supposed to be a hot shot lawyer) and his face is annoying me - does it get better and is he the type of character that grows on you? Very inclined to drop but seems like I’ll miss out on a great story from all comments here.

48 ok guys last episode is a total mess, it makes absolutely no sense. It’s not ambiguous, it’s more like just plain confusing!? After ML gains back his company he crosses the road to propose and literally gets knocked over by a car while crossing the road, OMEGALUL. Our third car accident this drama and this time it looks bad, lots of blood. And then the show just stops making sense, because apparently ML survives and goes to Europe to work without FL even though he was in the midst of proposing when the accident happened. Must have suffered some brain damage. We get a time jump, get some rando scenes of supporting characters and cut to a dream sequence where ML proposes but FL wakes up and is still all emo and pining for him. Ok so he died? But wait! She walks around rando neighborhood and comes across a flower shop, and there he is! ML has apparently returned without telling her. And then he finally proposes and they hug, and we get a whole lot of flashbacks ending back in the earlier dream sequence where I admit she does have a really nice dress. THE END.
