Pretty good. The ML isn't so useless. But this is clearly Luo Shu's story.

Ep. 5 Qin Meng Lin has promise but needs to grow up. Life is not a game. Is that the end of Miaocui for this story?

I understand. But he was rejected by his 'Mother,' he was burned by his first secretary who was like family to him. She was there when he got the operation when he was seven years old. So he had trust issues and for the purpose of this drama, takes it out on his hapless secretaries. His greatest pride became his greatest weakness and I guess in his mind, she exploited it. Childish, yes. Petty, yes. Sometimes it takes a while to leave the dark. Just my two cents worth.

Belated answer, but yes. It is a sweet watch.

I suspect that for South Koreans, mixed blood is believed to be with American servicemen and those women with mixed children who don't leave with their American husbands may be considered to have loose moral or some other flaw. That kind of prejudice is not unique to SK and GIs, Any place that has a military base has similar problems. In my Hawaii, there is resentment to local girls and perhaps local men dating Service people. Partly locals versus outsiders. It doesn't help that the Service members have more disposable income, can be considered exotic and may offer a ticket to escape Hawaii. But rather than admit that, they will use the pejorative 'haole' to justify their anger and resentment. You can also see the resentment from their racial groups when whites and blacks date each other. So I guess that I'm saying that any difference and perceived weakness can be used to attack and ostracize anyone. One doesn't have to be wrong. it can be enough if you are different. Or walk to the beat of a different drummer. Hope that this rambling explanation is of some use. Take care.

As some have said, she could be half Asian and half Korean.And the drama identifying the country could cause protests. Being mixed is kinda like being a returnee. That difference, whether real or perceived, can be a weak point for others to attack you. it is easier to blend in a big city, less easy in the rural area. And some are strong enough and charismatic enough so that it is not a prob;rm. In a HS class in a rural area, there was a returnee student in a class that I visited hid that he could speak English well. Not for me and not even for his English teacher. Another JHS student had light light brown eyes light brown hair and looked mixed. Her teacher swore that she was all Japanese. I saw many like her growing up in Hawaii that had the best features of Asian and Caucasian. I also think that the rich boy Kim Han-yeol harbors, and had earlier harbored feelings for her that he was either not strong enough to admit, or could not break the ice with her. And once the bull like him starts bullying, his minions jump in and it leads a life of its own. Kim with his arrogance never had a chance to get on her good side.
I think that you are right that she expected her Father to be in that room. At least I hope that they will go down that path. It seemed pretty clear.

At ep. 6 I think the FL is starting to think that the ML is not all that bad and she had been entertaining thoughts about the younger 2ML.

It is about the FL's journey so the romance may take a while to be resolved. I think.

Average about 14 minute episodes.

Short episodes but interesting

Looking up Qi Dao Jun, the screenwriter shows two TBA project adapted from her web novels, there are Kai Xue and Kai Duan. Restart is a separate entry. So potentially three more dramas. Kai Xue seems to be on track to be completed first, so that might be the movie with the delivery guy.

A person whose opinions I respected recommended this and it was very good. Re-watching from the beginning after a couple of years and better understand the Mother, who irked me in the beginning during the first watch. Also, yes, Qiu Dong Na had to decline working a third time with Gu Fei because she had to prove herself to others and more importantly, to herself.

Episode 8 Driving her home they discuss Chen Fanyang. Gu Fei describes her as a warm person but says that she is like an ignis fatuus over the grave. That is a Latin for foolish fire but viewers might know it as will-o'-the-wisp. Other names are swamp gas and jack-o'-lantern. I guess not the pumpkin but the light. Another meaning is deceptive goal or hope. Foreshadowing?

My post disappeared but
Reset 2022 is
Adapted from the web novel "Kai Duan" (开端) by Qi Dao Jun (祈祷君).

Restart is
