Great, thanks! Are they doing criminal activities too? Do we know yet why his dad went to prison? I am only on ep 2.

What exactly is the ML’s job? I haven’t been able to stay focused well enough to grasp it. The guy that he saved from suicide what was that all about?

The J-drama ML did the let-me-be-mean-for-her-own-good trope. He wasn’t romantic enough. He was a great protector, but it felt more like he was fulfilling a mission. Too reserved and serious. He became an action hero in the end functioning even after being knifed in the gut. It was so 😜 😝 wild.

I see Jung So Min.

exactly, that was nuts

The story development is frustrating. That’s why. The romance is unsatisfying. It comes together in the end though, after they exasperated the living daylights out of you the viewer for the first 20 episodes. Don’t expect any spice either. This is thoroughly PG. The family and friends slice-of-life moments are pleasant, just too drawn out. The drama dragged a lot in my opinion. Many good life lessons were taken from drama however—life lessons about how to love well and live well, how to parent, kids realizing they don’t know as much as they think and that maybe mom and dad were right. It was a good drama, but it could have been done better. The acting was top-notch 💯. No issues with the acting, just the story development. So, I guess it was a directing and editing issue.

I’m glad this is over.

It was alright. If I had never seen the Korean version, I might have thought this J-drama was good, fresh, original. But having seen the K-version, I enjoyed the Korean one far more. The Korean version was funnier, more robust and detailed, more swoonworthy. The J-version romance was bland, sweet but bland.

The Youku app really did us dirty in the US. Why couldn’t they have released this drama for us too on the app?! Now, I’ve got to wait on slow-as-molasses Viki. 😑

His self-worth is tied to his achievements because of his mother. His mindset is locked. Breaking free from that mindset is challenging.

Tan looks better. Even Cherry said he looks healthier like this.

I understood what the post meant. Women can’t catch a break either way. But, the post was accurate nonetheless. Her character was/is problematic in both dramas. 😂

accurate 😆🤣

Chasing after a man who’s ghosted you…😳🤯🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

Tanned Laborer Jiang Qiao Xi is looking pretty damn fine. That look is working for him big time. 🤩

One wrong doesn’t justify another.

Outstanding stand-up guy

Ep 19–The way she invaded his privacy didn’t sit right with me. She had no right. She’s not his wife. Shame on the landlord.

Compelling episode though. Zhao Jin Mai’s acting was on point when she laid into Qiao Xi. It stopped me in my tracks.

Viki won’t release ep 17 till 1am tonight. But, I heard from the comments that ep 17 is so good. Can’t wait!

😄
