hilarious premise, but full of cliche scenes. most importantly, the character maps are full of holes. For example, why would ML who has always hidden his identity, make phone calls as his real identity and blatantly tells others (including FL) his identity (but no one believes him)? Everything about this drama is contradictory. But its alright for a mini series I guess
It's really up to interpretation. Some says it is open ending while I personally believe it is sad ending.
it is a bit up to interpretation; but definitely leaning towards her dying in the end; but this drama has a few time skips. In total, they're together for for 6+ years (I would say almost a decade). The way they ended it was good; inevitable, but they didn't drag out the sadness, but instead focused on the long term achievements. She lives on in her legacy.
omg divorce in the first ep (when the ep is only 35 mins) is crazyyy all the main characters in this drama are hot heads. all the girls are delulu, all the boys have toxic masculinity. its a real rollercoaster lots of drama, everyone has beef with everyone LOLLL (and also some not-LOL is some DV of side characters)
the scenes are a little choppy, there's limited clothes (they don't even change styling between days LOLL), and the writing feels a bit amateur...maybe bc low budget but the characters are aight
its really was copy & paste (but set in Hong Kong with Hong Kong food/locations and a lower budget and just a tid-bit less details). but still enjoyable if you haven't watched the original in a while or if you have cultural ties to Hong Kong
I agree the acting of the cousin is really bad though LOLLL it was funny in the original but just super cringey in this one (too much english)
can you tell me how many cp are in this drama? and who are the cp whose stories are worth following? because I…
Sorry...I watched this drama 4 yrs ago so I don't remember based on what I wrote though...it's probably best if you just approach it as a snippet of everyone's lives...that would be best. don't get too invested in single CP.
I usually don't like supernatural dramas...but I really liked this one. There was a good mix of heartfeltness and lightness, without major holes in logic. I really liked the acting and OST as well; and the typical good Taiwanese drama-level cinematography.
show is definitely unique imho the "talk shows" ("stand-up") that were said were not really my taste...most of them were just roast/ranting sessions; but I think that's where Chinese stand-up culture is right how
I really liked the production...many times they started up the episodes as a different point of view leading up to the same scene (but each episode always pushed the timeline forward; so it wasn't a complete re-watch). The narration was something I had to get used to, but after I adjusted to it, I found that it explained the characters and their inner thoughts perfectly. Narration fits the theme of the drama bc the heart of "talk shows" are the deep philosophical thoughts, with a light twist. The acting was great, and I thought the characters were well balanced...making it easy to not dislike the characters themselves, but just dislike certain actions.
the FL is a bit of a doormat...I've seen Master of My Own before and her situation definitely pissed me off more (maybe MOMO framed it/acted it out to be more triggering; maybe the way LIL narrated the inner thoughts in a calm voice, idk)
all in all, decent drama with solid production; not too sappy, but also not ROFL; just light enough
The drama has ended but they still didn't made many things clear..1) Reason why she left him2) how bu yan's brother…
yah, the answers weren't as clean as I'd like, but I agree with everyone elses' take.
3. I don't remember Tang Zi (or who is Tang Qi?) being involved in ML's father's case? Essentially, Tang Zi didn't want ML nor FL to find out about ML's father and FL's father's ties (the fact that FL was willing to offend the Tang family to attempt to make up for ML's father's death.
was super hesitant to watch this bc of the age gap....but I knew the actors were really good...and they definitely did not disappoint. I would say they barely pulled it off, but no one else would've been able to. this was a really good drama...the span of 10+ years (and no major time skips) was super ambitious, but the storyline was pretty good, and kept moving, and you still felt that the characters were living in their present.
the arguments were reasonable and the splitting and staying were reasonable. I do feel like the end was a bit more rushed, but its alright.
awww you can tell they had a blast on set. the acting is so natural I'm really shocked I enjoyed it bc I don't usually like friends-to-lovers trope also, it is a bit slower paced...the "modern time" period was probably over nearly 2 years (and of course, just enough flashbacks for context to when they were in high school, college, and just beginning to work)

I love how non-toxic the primary and secondary CPs are

everything from casting to storyline to editing
ok to pass the time though...
