As much as we want the FL to like Kui Mulang, I can understand why she doesn’t. He kidnapped her, after all, and won’t let her go. Would you be ok with a guy who keeps you against your will and under surveillance at all times? He seems to keep forgetting that key point. But, I also think the FL is prejudiced because of his ugly appearance. If Li Xiong had an ugly appearance, I don’t think she would have ever forgiven him. Kui Mulang should have been honest about the Pearl from the getgo. Such a stupid move to deceive her all this time. Enjoying the show, but I’m losing patience with all this.
At episode 6. It’s the corny style. Too silly for my tastes. Sweet, cute, but FL character is too exaggerated. I can barely get through each episode. Just patiently waiting for the good kiss scenes because the snippets I’ve seen are choice. Overall, it’s a pleasant drama though with happy energy because of the cheerful FL. ML is moody but caring and his visuals are superb.
I have a question for those of you who have felt bored with the show but are still watching it: are you enjoying…
Definitely more interesting now. Loved Gu Won’s business proposal. Genius move. Also love the kid. The writers should have been doing good and clever writing like this from the getgo. But at least, we’re here now. It’s all good.
I am hopeful there’s a semblance of a real business plan. I know it’s a light drama but I’m kind of dismayed…
I too was baffled and unimpressed when he questioned Sarang’s extremely precise table setting instructions and the staff’s need for umpteen dozen rehearsals in preparation for the banquet. That conveyed he didn’t understand the need for precision and attention to details on the job which I found astounding. You can’t achieve excellence in your business, your craft, with that attitude.
We know that he’s only on the job because he’s looking for info about his mother. So, of course, the job itself is not a priority. He originally told his sister that he didn’t compete with her because he didn’t want to, NOT because he couldn’t. So, apparently, he’s been sitting on some sort of impressive business acumen. I am definitely excited to see him unleash it. But, yeah, like you said, the work ethic he’s shown so far really leaves me wondering.
I kindly disagree. I find that ML and FL have chemistry. When she's hurt and in pain, I can see it in his eyes.…
I appreciate your viewpoint. The character is compassionate and dutiful. The character has physical desire for her too. He’s desperate to save her life. That is well-conveyed by the actor, but the actor himself still seems distant to me. Or, maybe that distance is a deliberate part of the character. I can’t tell.
I think her best chemistry is with Fan Shi Qi in Qing Qing Zi Jin. They even look alike!
Yes, I enjoyed that drama too. Funny. I believe that was her debut as a leading lady. Great chemistry—agreed. That was the first time I became acquainted with her and could tell she was something special. Glad to see her career is steadily progressing.
Forget the romance, I’m most excited to hear Gu Won’s business plan next week. I want to know his strategy for increasing profits without cutting costs. New products? New services? New business partners, investors? New capital investment strategy? I’m legit curious.
