what episode do they start actually liking each other/get together
Ep 25–He confesses to her. They had both liked each other for a while though, but kept misunderstanding each other. He first tried to kiss her in Ep 13, but it was a no-go. Ep 17–They did some seriously hot flirting. There were lots of swoonworthy moments until the actual confession. Ep 29–PDA The “I’m cold” hug. Ep 30-They make love.
She’s looking after her son because the Dad is trifling. I get exactly where she’s coming from. She’s not going sit back and let her son get zilch. I just hope the writer best friend isn’t hurt by the mother. They were such good friends previously.
Veteran actress Kim Sun Young did a cameo in ep 6 where she played the character Eom So Hye, an art gallery director, which coincidentally is the same name and occupation as her character in “Her Private Life.” Or was that by design?
Your criticisms are eloquent and beautifully written, but too harsh. The leads knocked it out of the park. While the ML is not a comedic actor, his subtle brand of humor was charming and funny. Also, Wang Churan was fantastic as Mian Tang. I thoroughly enjoyed their performances. The coulda/shoulda suggestions you made regarding what could have made this a more compelling drama were interesting and thought-provoking. But, the drama was already very outstanding as is. I enjoyed reading your perspective though—full of great insights. Also, the second lead couple was delightful, not extraneous, unnecessary, or boring at all . I thoroughly enjoyed their love story and got quite a few chuckles and heart-fluttering moments from it. You and I definitely agree on the little Empress though—she was absolutely lovely.
She sent her mother many gifts while she was abroad. Gifts that mom left unopened and never used, like makeup/skincare. How do you know she never gave her parents any money? Also, what obligation does she have to bestow a large sum of money on them? She’s been a very good girl her whole life. She’s likely done many nice things for them over the years to show her love and gratitude. My parents never expected me to gift them money. But, I got their back if needed.
