I haven't watched it yet, can you tell me if the og version also has a crime plot ?

you got a point 😭 how did her brain reset to zero like that

😭 a lot of people are not holding back because they’ve been waiting one year for this drama

That’s where I agree to disagree. The rating system on mdl has been subject to debate many times. Many abuse of this privilege and make the rating system obsolete and unrepresentative of the quality of the drama. I thought over the issue many times, because many people claim everyone has the freedom to rate however they want. But in the end I realized that from a moral standpoint, I disagreed. Mdl is a community led website and at a minimum the community owes to the community a mindful reflection when rating. If you’re on mdl you’re part of a community so you have a responsibility. Everyone works together to make the website better and accurate, from editing to posting. Rating based on taste (ex. I don’t like romance) and rating to promote idols is selfish and has no place in a community that actively works together to provide accurate information. If you want to give back to the community you need to at the very least have some criterias when rating.

Also when I say that I don’t like people who rate based on taste, I mean people who know that they don’t like a certain genre or trope. Personally when I come across a drama with a lot of angst (not my taste) I drop it, I don’t rate it. I mark it as “not my cup of tea” and move on. I just don’t get why people think taste has a place in a rating

I’m sorry but that’s just my opinion. I get really frustrated by immature idol fans and people who don’t spare a thought when rating. Also I don't claim to be perfect i’m not a film critic, some of my criterias when rating are silly (like seratonin and headaches) but I actively try not to let my personal biases affect my rating.

me when I lie

The same people rating this lower than 8.5 would run to rate the most mediocre brain rotting idol drama a 10. But its normal, people are harsher critics when there's nothing to criticize. Also, if this drama was not as popular y'all wouldnt reach so much to find negative things to say. Its the individuality complex speaking.
I also really hate when people rate on taste, this drama isn't claiming to be something that its not, its a chineses historical romance drama. Not a highly political drama, not a war drama, not a kdrama, not a supernatural drama. It has a lot of romance, business, slice of life, sisterhood.Its not fast paced, not action heavy, not overly complex and sometimes its purposely mundane. If it's not your cup of tea that doesn't mean that it's bad, just drop it. Be fair at least.

ironic how the fl is a scriptwriter but the actual script is of the drama is ass. fl and ml chemistry is nonexistent, wasted screen time on a crime plot that doesn't matter, love story with her ex has more screen time that it gave all the viewers second male lead syndrome, father-daughter relationship is barely explored. from the scriptwriter's profile it seems like this is her first work, and it shows.

idk why but tome he looks a lot like Yoon Shi-yoon

japan is back at it again with incest

immature but also insecure. did you see the scene where she throws a rock at her reflection in the water after she caught GQ and ZP hugging? I think it’s symbolism to show that she hates herself. she’s deeply insecure because of her musician status so she overcompensates by boasting and looking for validation where she can get it. I also don’t think dhe was coveting GQ, she admires him and wants his praise. she’s a very well written character honestly

too bad this drama isn’t on viki it would’ve been nice to have viki watch party’s with this comment section 😭

I wrote that comment and went straight to watching the previews I said I wouldn't watch🥲 what have they done to us

yinzhang is FIFTEEN?? damn she went through a lot for a kid. wait so that makes her relationship with shen very icky

I think i'll stop here too, things are going south and it would be torture to have to wait for things to get resolved. (I say that but this drama is so good, I dont know if i'll be able to resist)

yeppp its all starting to make sense. Now I'm wondering if his adoptive father was on it too

btw I really hope GQ and ZP will get married soon, marriage at the end of a drama is so overdone, plus I want to see their dynamic after marriage. But from the looks of it, it seems like we'll have a marriage ceremony for the finale

Shen is shady.. I remember that someone here said that jelly said in her livestream that her character was gonna stay single...

I'm almost certain that Xiao actually is the good guy, and was framed by GQ's "mentor" censor Xi. He and his fraction groomed GQ to be their perfect lackey. They brainwashed him and promised to give his mom a proper burial. The way Xi keeps delaying bringing Lei to justice is suspicious. My guess is, Minister Ke and censor Xi are on a team against Xiao and the Queen. GQ also clearly longs for his father too, in his dream he even said "you're not my father where's my father" to Xi.

Seems like Sanniang will be paired with Du but I wonder how the writer will make him more likeable to the audience considering he's been misogynistic. for now he's pretty icky imo

the flirting in this drama made me scream in my pillow a couple times (10 times exactly, with tears of jealousy)
