Tian Xi Wei has my full heart, like she is beautiful, acts well with perfect expressions, and is charming. Love this drama, so far different from the cliche stories.
Finally finished and I feel a bit dissapointed. Ji Soo was fine as a pretty person traumatized by a past love. However, I still am not sure if BoD was not better than what she ended up with. Seo In Guk's real life character ignored her/treated her poorly for almost two weeks at the end? Barely responding, barely communicating. They had barely any relationship build up, nor did it make sense that he rather than Seo Kang Jun would be her ideal face\man instead of the cold office colleague who never communciates well. Especially at the end. Not even a "hey I was a bit shocked by what I saw, I need some time to process." If it were me I would understand that kind of petty ghosting to mean the relationship is over.
Like the thing that BoD shows that most women want in a relationship is someone who listens and communicates well (actually listens and remembers and says what they are thinking rather than playing games and letting misunderstandings happen). At the end of the day a TV boyfriend (which BoD seems like it was shading at times) or virtual BF is better than a shitty real life partner. So what did the drama do well? I think mostly to show her get over a past ex. Like that felt real and heart breaking.
Also really loved all the side characters (her best friend is so gorgeous and the virtual best friend from the college dating story is so gorgeous too, she keeps being paired with that fat ugly guy in dramas which sucks,).
Beautiful woman, please STOP pairing her with ugly men (like that fat guy in Boyfriend on Demand). She is Female Lead material and belongs with handsome male leads. Stop in general pairing ugly guys with beautiful women.
So far light and fun. I guess my only issue is that Ji Soo and Seo Kang Jun have such excellent chemistry that it is hard not to ship them. I love Seo In Guk but his character here is kind of boring so far and he and Ji Soo don't have the same chemistry . I like all the side characters and wish they had more fuller arcs the way side characters did in old kdramas.
Liking this already, in the mood for dark fls to make a comeback. Dear X, The Art of Sarah and Queen Mantis were fantastic in terms of FL acting but story or ending didn't do justice. This seems better already in terms of pacing and chemistry.
Kim hye yoon is popular lol thats why she's chosen as lead. Tbh. Jang nara carried that show. People did not care…
I hate how this post and some on other forums have been trying to stir controversy around Hye Yoon. I really likrd NJH but Nara carried the show and Hye Yoon will be great.
I wanted to like this because I love both female leads SO MUCH. Yet, this film was so poorly executed. Like others have said the development and backstory of different characters was left weak or non existant. Leads were beautiful and that is what carried. Really hate how the "Netflixization" of movies has made them so shallow and crappy (this and Project Mantis are similar in the weak plot).
While the ending was a little bit unsatisfying (thank god it wasn't a disappointment like all the dramas that…
I was rooting for her the same time and she wasn't evil, the murder was committed because that Mi Jeong became to greedy. Mi jeong thought she could replace Sarah Kim but she didn't have the skill of reading people and giving them what they want.
I hope she gets our early on parole for good behavior and takes back her brand. She deserves to be able to enjoy it after all that.
Every time I see her she is playing a maid or some silly role but she has the face and presence for playing a main lead or secondary female lead at the very least. Beautiful!
The good: the mom and sister's support of one another, it was heart touching to see the mother and sister's struggle together and thrive together. Third daughter and her ML were what draws you into the drama, their battle of wits was lovely to watch. Then the fourth daughter is adorable and while her ML is a lot more fun when he has the dreaded amnesia, it's tolerable. Fifth daughter was such a bold and funny character and her story started off toxic but became really the most touching in some ways. I did not love the "found brother" trope but was happy for the sixth daughter. Madame Li actress is phenomenal in this and other roles.
The bad: The first daughter's story almost made me drop the drama and I had to force myself to continue because her ML is the worst of the entire show and really awful, at one point I was rooting for her to be with ANYONE other than him including the other poor scholar. The drama casting such a beautiful youthful girl and then trying to say she was "an undesirable old widow" was also really jarring. The second daughter's ML was a playboy, trying to get concubines and just a gambling and whoring kind of guy who suddenly is transformed into a comic person (oh the money he wasted on women was just him being kind like wtf). So the drama can't really deal with any really problematic men and should have by having a daughter divorce a bad or subpar man and replace him or find a better vocation. And if marriage was so important than Madame Li should have found an nice widower because she is a lovely woman herself and looks youthful enought to be the eldest widowed daughter instead of mom.
The drama lacked what I would call a likable male lead in the sense that it presents a historical and modern day view of "the basic decency men should have but lack." None of the MLs are remarkable as husbands, what they do is either downright toxic at times (the scholar and the judge kicking out the girls, the playboy, and even the Yang boy who doesn't send any letters or any info and did in fact kidnap her) and yet they are treated as somehow awesome because the bar is in hell. In that sense I feel like this drama was more of a "if you really must get married so your mom can feel like you are complete and be judged by others as a good mom then this is the bare minimum to settle for." I feel like having one unmarried sister who focuses on her own pursuits and passions instead of her husband's would have been great (Haode is so brilliant and yet she has to be the assistant to her husband and not a lawyer in her own right, Kangning just gives up on business to be a cutey, Shouha really did deserve a better storyline and to be master of her own fate). Like the basic message was "one man, one wife and he should treat your nicely." Ugh.
Zhao Ling, who plays the maid here and in other dramas, is too gorgeous to be not be a FL or SFL. I hope she gets better roles, even the camera loved her.
Overall I liked the drama if I didn't think about it and focused on the women's relationships and supports which is great from the usual catfights but the marriage plots were just average at best, carried by the stunningly beautiful women.
