LOVE the way you phrased this!!

I very much agree with this!!

It's on their official YT channel: https://youtu.be/qPLNUwGIkv8

You should put this in a review! Well said!

Hulu premieres the episodes a few days after they premiere in S. Korea.

Honestly I truly could not have phrased this better myself. Completely agree to all your points.

Agree with this! While it was definitely not what I would define as good, I'm very grateful to the team for trying and successfully getting this show done. Same as you, I watched it mostly to support the team. There were scenes where I just plain fast-forwarded and/or just did something else while watching. The dubbing was probably the worst part for me - I'm not sure if it was the sound mixing or just the dubbing itself, but it definitely made me laugh. As for Huai'en's acting, I would agree he's not the best, but he's not terrible. I'm almost certain the majority of the show's issues would be solved with a bigger budget, but I'm hoping this is a step in the right direction.

Lol, whatever makes you feel better.

Some people like knowing these things before watching, it actually makes it more enjoyable for them. Just like some people read the last page first, and then start reading from the beginning of a book. Let's not judge others' way of enjoying things.

Ooooh that makes sense. Thanks!!

Not sure why Viki shows 7 eps of 14-24 minutes each and MDL states only 3 episodes...

I can't agree with a comment more. Su Hong Chen and Tan Sang Yu were the characters that irked me the most. Hong Chen was so biased and annoying. Sang Yu was so childish (I mean I get she's 18 but her brother is literally fighting for their lives and here she is just acting like there's no problem at all) that I had to skip her scenes.

Lol sounds like the military propaganda worked on you! But I agree that the story was really good - I've not watched a Chinese Republican drama before and I think the writing was great.

Sure! Here it is:

Agreed. The villain origin story just made me madder. I understand that it's to remind us that horrible people are still just that, people. But we don't need more humanizing stories of horrible people - we need to tell more stories of those victimized by them.

I also agree with the last "what if" episode. It was unnecessary and made me feel worse about everything.

Look, I get where you're coming from, but there is never an excuse for bullying. People have had it worse and haven't bullied. People have had it better and have bullied. I understand that it's high school, but as a victim of bullying, for me what he did is inexcusable. I hope the writers don't just expect us to be okay with what he did once they start falling in love -- he's going to have to actually show remorse and do a lot of making up to the people he bullied for me to ever accept him as a love interest.

Same. He's going to have to do something big for me to feel okay about what he just did.

Agreed. When I saw how far he took the bullying I just couldn't imagine ever justifying that in a way that I'd feel comfortable with them dating. But we'll see I guess.

Agreed, I don't know how they'll redeem him because his actions in this episode honestly make me doubt if I could ever forgive him for it.

Agreed!! If it weren't for the ending and how it tied its loose ends too neatly, I might have given this a higher rating. But the redemption arc for crappy characters and lack of communication between the leads disappointed me a bit.
