This drama is very emotional, especially if you are a woman who would like to be a mother one day. The romance was also good and played an important part in the plot development, but the female lead’s strong wish and also biggest struggle to get pregnant was the main plot point and also what made this drama stand out from the crowd.

Yeah. I did like that and loved the male lead’s personality. The romance was just a bit too slow, meaning they could have gotten together sooner, and I wish there was at least a kiss or some kind of skinship to make it feel more real. But in the aspect you mentioned, this drama definitely beats a lot of other thai dramas.

Yes. It has the same name. I will put the link to the playlist in the spoiler below this comment.

The chinese tones are hard to master and my writing of the characters was awful. I could not even tell it was the same character. XD

The last few episodes were too much about politics and stuff but I knew it would go that way. I am not very happy with how a few things were wrapped up but oh well. The main leads had good chemistry so that made it worth watching. I have seen better, but I have also see worse. For me this was a little better than average but not amazing or anything.

I tried learning Chinese but lost my motivation midway, same thing with Japanese. I have been able to stick to Korean tho.

The original subs are from YouTube. You can watch the new episodes faster that way.

This is just my kind of drama. It might not be for everyone, but for someone who has a cooking background or a special interest in cooking and food, then I am sure you will enjoy this.

I have watched half of it in one sitting and I now feel like going to the kitchen and cooking something completely different from what I usually cook....that and I am also hungry. LOL

I liked some things about it like the main leads chemistry or how the female lead was independent and hardworking and not a crybaby. I mean, she found out on the day she was shooting her wedding pictures that her longtime boyfriend and soon to be husband had been cheating on her for years and she did not lock herself in her room crying. She focused on her work and personal growth instead. I also liked her friendship with the second female lead and how she became friends with her ex’s second girl, that showed they were both humble to see neither of them was at fault, he was the one to blame. In real life it is rare for that to happen. Even if the other woman had no idea and the guy is the one cheating, you still hate the other woman.

Ok, so those were some of the things I liked. Now, what I did NOT like.

As usual, this was way too long. Why 45 episodes if you do not have anything to add to the story? The second couple also stole A LOT of screen time. In a 35 minutes episode (if you take out the intro and ending songs), they would some times monopolize the first 15-20 minutes. And to be honest, their story was not even that interesting.

There were also some issues with the relationship between the leads and I still cannot get over how insensitive the male lead was to kiss her in front of someone who had just confessed his love to her. I mean, there is a time and place for everything.

The product placement like other people have mentioned is just right in your face. And how realistic is it that EVERYONE in this drama has the same ringtone? When a phone rang I would only be able to tell who was receiving a call after that person answered the phone because, I repeat, EVERYONE had the same ringtone.

The plot was dragged to the point it felt like I was just watching fillers. Starting around episode 25 or so I started to skip a lot of scenes. I love when the main leads get together early rather than getting together only on the last episode, BUT if you have a 45 episode drama and the main leads get together around episode 14 (or somewhere around that), what are you going to do with the plot for the other 31 episodes? I honestly thought this would turn out to be one of those dramas where the main leads break up and get together several times. SPOILER ALERT: they surprisingly only break up once.

So yeah, not impressed with this drama. 6/10 and I am being generous already.

Yeah. Also, since some of these dramas are uploaded to YouTube and use copyrighted music, a lot of times you will have huge chunks of conversations muted, it is really annoying. I only need BGM in certain situations like a car chase or something. XD I could do just fine without it, especially if I have to give up listening to the characters because of it.

For those wondering, the subs on iQiyi are awful. You might as well watch it without them. Maybe they will fix them later, but I doubt it since this is not a popular drama.

The link is on my profile, together with the link to the website. The lessons are in Portuguese tho. I do plan to add English captions to some videos, but my target audience is mainly people who speak Portuguese, which is my native language.

I watched the first episode and I have not gotten back to it yet. It did not manage to capture my interest. Maybe when I have nothing better to watch.

I have to agree with everyone else. I recently created my own YouTube channel and I make sure the BG never overpowers my voice since I make Korean lessons. The BG is always several negative DBs below the main audio so it is not distracting.

If I who am an amateur knows that, how come the editing team for this drama messed up so bad? It feels like the videos were edited by someone who is doing this for the first time, and even I had a better final result when I edited my first video. Really, it is just too distracting and I end up skipping entire scenes just because the BG is annoying.

This had potential but they made the male lead not very likable and focused too much on the jewels thing to the point there was not much more to the plot. I liked the way it started but by the end I was like meh, just another drama.

It started out well but it did not reach its full potential. I felt like the story started out to drag mainly because they tried to add a lot of genres to this - historical, romance, comedy, politics, and so on. If this was executed well, I would not mind that at all. The problem is the plot felt like it did not have a focus or a main genre and as if each of the genres were fighting for the spotlight. For example, it started well in the romance department and we even got some skinship and kissing in the first half of the drama. But then it seems the politics part took over and we only get to see that again almost at the end. Meanwhile its only dialogues and a few back-hugs.

This being a low budget drama is obvious but it was not what bothered me. I mean, I really liked Romance of Hua Rong and that was a low budget drama too. The problem is that the plot just was not as good as it could have been. That aside, this is a pretty good drama if you are just looking for a light watch, just dont expect an amazing plot or acting. 6/10

This is pretty bad. I have seen other lakorns where the female lead is the villain and they were pretty well done. But this one is just...I mean, the female lead is not interesting enough, the twins thing is too old, the romance is meh, the acting, the editing, the ending, everything feels so amateur, fake and boring. Honestly, if you want a drama about a female lead that is not good person, there are other dramas out there that are a lot better.

Ikr? XD
