I enjoyed it until a certain point but then it started to drag like most c-dramas do. It would have been much better in a 24 episode format.

Yeah, I watched the preview and it seems like something along those lines.

I am just worried the writers will pull something like her having a one-night stand with Cha Gun and getting pregnant and then saying she is pregnant with YG to force him to marry her. Or even just faking the pregnancy since she is already used to making things up.

I know they won’t actually get married....probably....but I am afraid this engagement thing will drag for a while. Hopefully not because I would rather see more of DD, YG and the children.

After watching episodes 27 and 28...my first thoughts were right. They ruined what could have been a perfectly good drama by making it a 50 episode long drama instead of 16 or 20.

They just dont know how to keep the story going so they keep adding extremely cliché tropes and wasting screen time on supporting characters that I dont care about like the stepmother, the aunt, ....

If I could go back in time and call the shots on this drama I would be like NO, NO. This is going to be 20 episodes long, we are going to remove this character and that character, and that one too, tropes like amnesia, truck of doom and separation are not allowed...actually, just fire the writer. I will write the whole thing.

If you are going to end the show pretty much the way it started, at least give the viewers some valuable lesson or something. This was one of the most pointless dramas I have ever watched. That Japanese dramas can be weird sometimes is nothing new, but this is not weird, its more like it shouldnt exist, there is no reason for its existence, to be more clear....it is a complete waste of time.

Short and cute. Just don’t watch on an empty stomach. XD

Even short dramas need some sort of focus or logic but this felt like the writer just threw together a bunch of loose ideas that were never used in other dramas and made this whole mess. Because it had so much of everything but so little development to each of it, the result was a romance that was not believable, a comedy that was not funny, characters that were not consistent, a story that made no sense and an ending that was as random as the rest of the drama.

I have watched a lot of short dramas or dramas with silly plots in the past, but this one got be one of the most ridiculous I have watched. I just did not see what was the point of creating this and honestly, the actors time was wasted here.

If you want a fluffy romance or a funny drama, there are better dramas out there.

There were some sub-plots and characters that I could have done without and that made this draggy at times, but overall it was an enjoyable drama with a good amount of cute and funny scenes between the leads, but mostly focused on the struggles ice skating athletes go through and how much hard work they put into their training.

The FL was very well written and was probably the most interesting character of the entire drama. There were some other nice surprises, like the coach/male lead’s mother who seemed like a very strict and cold person at first but was so much more than what I expected.

So yeah, I recommend this drama even if you have to do some skipping, like when Xiao Qing is on screen. XD

I confess I felt bored several times...but I also loved how strong and cool the FL was and liked most of the other characters. But was that enough? Probably not.

I feel like this could have been much better. The plot was draggy and it was hard not to skip several times. Although I liked most of the characters, the plot itself was not that great so I understand why some people have given it ratings of 6.

I am actually going to abstain from rating it just because I am having a hard time deciding how I feel about this one. So I will let people who are more clear about what they think about this drama influence the average rating.

Ahh, A Good Supper. Another train wreck I will not forget for a while. Drama logic sometimes is everything but logical.
Glad to know I am not the only normal person around here who is always questioning writers decisions. 🤣

This is problematic on many levels...but entertaining, as expected from Japan. lol
Btw, am I the only one who thinks that if this was real life Rize would have died by episode 2?

I loved and hated this drama at the same time. Near the end it was mostly hate.

My problem with this drama and with so many other dramas about the republican era is that there are always characters we like that die for no good reason and the villains’ punishment is too soft compared to all the pain and suffering they caused.

So I have a love-hate relationship with this drama and I am not sure I would dare watch it again.

Definitely a good one-time watch tho.

I doubt they will go to the trouble of fixing them. When people could contribute to the captions there was a chance of it happening, but YouTube removed that option. The only way we will get proper subs is if some fan decides to pick this drama.

Yes. Have they gotten any better?

To be honest, I don’t remember. I know by the ending they were kind of on the same side but I do not remember if their relationship was really bad or not. But like the synopsis says, they have "different political stances and beliefs", so there is a high chance they dont really get along.

Like I said in my comment, its not a bad drama but it is unnecessarily long so the romance is also slow paced. About the ending, if it was not a happy one I would be ranting after going through 70 episodes of this. XD

Maybe the whole thing was just a really long trailer of what the drama could have been. XD

The reviews and comments seem to consistently indicate that this is not a good drama and after watching the trailer I felt even more like this would not be my cup of tea so I guess I will skip on this one.

This drama’s biggest fault is that it does not feel like a drama at all. It feels like someone made a compilation of some of the best scenes of an actual drama and this was the result. 3 mins per episode with the music and everything is not long enough. There was little character development, we know almost nothing about the main leads and even less about the other characters.

This could have been a nice drama if it was 16-24 episodes long of around 45 mins each like most Chinese dramas. There would be more time for developing the characters and story.

I have watched many light hearted romance dramas and this definitely is not one of them. Like you said, the focus is not even in the romance. The second leads probably appear more often than the amount of romantic scenes we get between the leads. There are also a lot of heavy themes and some deaths, so yup, not that light hearted.

I gave it a 6.5 and was being generous. I only re-watch dramas I rate above 7, preferably 8, 8.5 and up. If it was not for the way the FL was written, I would have probably given it like a 5. 😅

I paused watching this drama a lot after ep 15 or so. So yeah, it might have been around there. But around eps 30-35 it got even worse.
