ok the ending.... UGHHH no offense but i wished the FL struggled a bit more to get ML at the end ML was the one who chased first and was the one who was continually putting in so much work into the relationship. And yes; I'll acknowledge that if it was the other way around, it would've been a typical overbearing CEO drama which is considered "normal" in the dramaworld (bit misogynistic but it is what it is).
Like I know ML isn't the type to be petty; and FL has already had a pretty tough life with her dad/financials/start-up but stilllll. She was upset with her ex for choosing career over love but she herself chose work over ML many times (but ML definitely chooses FL over some work things).
I guess in a relationship one has to give in to the other; but it just really felt like ML was willing to sacrifice for FL but FL was never really willing to sacrifice for ML. I mean they're both very independent and capable, but can we have a FL that is a boss queen that is capable of reciprocating? Her paying off her dad's debt shows that she's willing to work hard (but I think that situation was more about taking responsibility rather than sacrificing for her father). I'll acknowledge personality diff....but still just feel like that wasn't a satisfying ending from a viewers perspective.
ok this comment is turning out longer than I expected...
Shooookkk. Janice Wu is a true actress...I didn't even recognize her until a few shots into the trailer and I heard her voice...then I was like wait a secccc
yahhh I think its definitely on the weirder side...he has a room for her in his house not sure how far you got, but it seems like he's in-training and Chu Yi is in denial and refuses to go to the clinic so the only way he can help her is in his apartment...and it may be the case that she's his only "patient" he sees in his apartment
so I'm still a bit up in the air how I feel about this. I can see he values her as his first "patient", but due to the circumstances, I can't tell if it crosses the line emotionally (but I can't deny it's crossing the "professionalism" line)
On ep 6 (watching on Viki) and in no universe wouid I have thought to read "eating 🐈" in a Chinese drama....also,…
ackkk I just saw it there was definitely a different way they could've translated it the literal meaning is eat soft rice/food...which means to live off a woman i have no idea why they translated it like that
despite the subtitles always lacks, even am not surprised MangoTV done that lol, but this short play just wholesome.…
yessss I totally agree with the PD's choice to skip filming the wedding. I'm sure they would've had to cut costs somewhere else if they had splurged on a wedding set and cast
what in the worldddddd I randomly found this on youtube and thought it was a low-grade web drama but it was soooo funny and so cuteeeee. I was smiling EVERY episode also they did not feel like 15 min eps (how did a 15-min, 22-ep series fit an industry standard 30/45-min, 24-ep story?? they definitely cut the usual fillers) I ain't complainin
one thing that I didn't get: how is the kid always calling the mom by her full name??? might be more understanding of calling the dad by his name bc he just met him but sometimes the kid says "mom" and then sometimes he says "Min Hui" like I always thought Chinese/many asian households don't call parents by first name (esp as kids)?? I definitely didn't.
honestly not too bad of a drama...it's a super classic rom-com setup with the regular tropes; but it's *not* like the low-grade tropey short web dramas that are released nowadays
leads are cute, and kid is cute. slow burn, but there's never a doubt that the leads are gonna get together bc of their deep love/care for each other. also SML gets his own love, so everyone wins (3 couples!...you can see it in the poster/intro)
Which episode lead end up together???Any breakup???
they were almost together quite a few times (the last time, being ep 16 when they were 30 secs from being official but then drama so she was upset with him for a few eps) but they officially got together in ep 21 but I feel like just based on their history, u know that they still love each other and will get together so I don't think anything was super angsty (there was a few eps on the custody thing...that really didn't make sense...he could've just explained it) but that didn't last too long I think
so unexpected!! the beginning of 2023 was a bit disappointing in the modern rom-com c-drama world

but he seems humble so far though (only on ep 18)
danggg I thought she was in the clear after ML resolves the lawsuit thing
