If I can’t even see the screen, the dark lighting is overdone.

The picture quality and lighting are so poor, dark, and dismal in ep 1. Makes me not even want to continue. I guess they are setting a mood, but man, I can hardly see the scene or the characters at times. It feels like it’s shot like an American drama, which I can’t stand. I used to love Kdramas because the picture quality was soooo much better, clearer, and brighter than the American style . Now, Kdramas are trying to become like American dramas. 🙄. That’s why I like Cdramas more these days. They still have the bright light-filled filming style.

I agree. At first, I feared they would be love interests. Then, I was stunned to find they are father/daughter. They look more like peers. Older actors (both parents) would match better. Seo Hyun Jin has a mature look.

It would have been better to talk things out, but would he have agreed to go abroad? Maybe, maybe not. He was was too hooked on her to leave. He needed an intervention. But, it was still wrong the way she tricked him. Then again, like you say, her idea isn’t the only good idea. Going abroad is not everyone’s cup of tea. He would have been fine without it.

yep

She manipulated him in to going abroad, not out of selfishness, but for his future, growth, and professional success. Her method was harsh, but I can see how desperate she was. He was too obsessed with her. It was unfair for her to make that decision for him like that, but it turned out that the connections he made because of it proved beneficial. Very compelling story!

I think SML likes her but also resents her because of her happy, carefree, privileged life and mindset. He feels keenly the differences in their social and financial statuses. He feels insecure next to her which is why he criticizes and puts her down so often. Never tie yourself to an insecure man. He’ll blame you for his failures and find some way to pull you down a notch or two.

They will release the dramas after a few days. This is called the Express Pass for people who don’t want to wait.

Just speculating—Seems to be a case of mistaken identity from what I can see. Lin Yu Sen’s friend must have gotten it wrong and told him the wrong girl liked him.

Oops 😅, I stand corrected. Lin Yusen just called her “sharp” 😆 in ep 5.

Nie Xi Guang is not the sharpest cookie, is she? 🤦🏾‍♀️

Ep 25–Superb. The acting. The writing. “Nature’s laws are not absolute.” I need to ponder that. He Yu’s (Jin Zhao) beautiful, rugged face in that scene was perfection. The emotion. The control. Yet, the intensity. Whoever thinks Esther Yu can’t act really needs to watch this episode.

It’s a stargazing club.

The continuity of the story isn’t flawless. The editing could have been better.

Why are they in the kitchen cooking in their overcoats? Who doesn’t take off their coats 🧥 when they enter the house, and especially when they get ready to start cooking? OMG 😆 I notice this happens a lot in cdramas. Weird.

True. She was right most of the time, but still, her style was too overbearing at times. But, yes, I get it. She had to have a firm hand because he was obsessed with her.

Pausing the video to vent—I don’t like it one bit that Dr. Julia lived in his apartment with him for what —years?! If we’ve learned anything from “Sniper Butterfly,” it’s that two attractive people of the opposite sex, regardless of their ages, living under the same roof, helping each other, caring for each other, will definitely end up sleeping together. I don’t believe that happened with Zhao and the pretty doc, but still it would make me so mad knowing that another woman had been taking care of my man and living in his house for years, but he never told me anything nor gave me a chance! Ooooh weeeee, I would be 😡.

I have the VIP subscription on WETV/Tencent and the bonus episodes were not there. If you scroll far enough down in comments, someone posted links to X, but they are not subtitled.
