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)
So she decides to work with the Dad to get them to make up. Then she accuses him of doing things without consulting…
well they've already broken up at that point where she visits the dad the second time. Also, she accidentally ends up talking about HaiKuo bc she's so triggered by the sight of him and forgets to talk about the company LOLLL
when they were together, the two major instances of lack of communication was his resignation and proposal. She was the last to know about both of these things. He resigned without even giving her a heads up and didn't even think of sharing this news with her. Same thing with proposal...they didn't have conversations about getting married; if they did, he would've known that she wants to resolve the values issue.
yes...its as dumb as it sounds...FL disguises as a guy for whatever reason and ML is obsessed with finding FL (even though she's hiding in plain sight) and the ending....was alright; not super satisfying

I don't think the reviews should be that bad. The situations are pretty exaggerated...but its a drama
although with Taiwanese dramas you never know if they'll end up together LOL
but this one is a happy ending

i also think the chemistry and audio engineering was a highlight
tbf, I didn't finish this LOLL. didn't get back to it yet
(also ML seems kinda....mentally sick...)
and the ending....was alright; not super satisfying
