7/10. The lead couple never once irritated me and I loved how all characters were strong in their own ways. One character that caught my eye was Yun Lan, Yun Shu's sister. Highly recommended for people looking for some healthy fluff. I did skip some parts though, but it's still worth a watch.
More like drama let down/lack of motivation. I watched a Currently Airing drama and learnt my lesson - never watch them while on air cause its better to wait and binge and get ready, like you said - no emotional attachments. ;) I was watching Reply 1988, and even though I love the characters and storyline, I couldn't bring myself to watch past episode 14 but also don't want to drop it cause I've already invested roughly 14 hours for it. I chose this one over that to get rid of that unwanted feeling. And I'm already on Ep18, thanks to its duration.
Hmmm... how do I explain this? You know, when we invest too much of our time in one drama, but then feel a mixture of emotions and slowly start moving farther away from it to your own space when you feel like things are getting iffy...? Thats when I watch dramas like these. They make me feel happy. :D Weird answer, but that's literally how I feel. One reason is that I don't watch many dramas, but when I do, I emotionally invest too much in them and then later regret. I don't like that feeling which is why such fluffy/less popular gems are the "detoxifiers" for that. :D
Currently watching this as a form of "detox" and so far, despite its 100% fluffy nature + little substance, this is actually a good one if we are looking for a quick distraction. The leads and the Grandpa are my favorite.

Romance is not a huge part of the drama. But, there is one between Li Jin Bu and Duan Xiao. Its clearly said that Li Qing Tong has a long time serious crush on another student. (This is the spoiler free version. )
Got interested in this after learning that the author is the screen writer. (Never heard of the book or the author though.) Plus, Gala Zhang is really good. Never saw Mao Zijun before, but he seems promising from all the comments. MGTV has a lot of hit or miss dramas and they don't seem to take "competition" between video streaming platforms seriously. So, I have hopes that this one might be one of those dramas that might actually air later this year or the beginning of 2022 atleast. Or they plan to keep it in the vault for three years... (Surprised that there are already many BTS pictures and videos in weibo!) Now, lets just hope that it isn't messed up.
Don't get why Vampire Man, who does things so carefully, stylishly and methodically, would entrust the difficult…
This might not make sense, but it seems like a clever move of his. He does the dirty work, and leaves the cleaning to the ones who are obviously dumb - in that way, he isn't directly the culprit. Out of all the loose canons in that residence, he might be the one with all the screws in the right places. If anything ever went wrong, he just killed them off like popping balloons. Eg: EP2. 302 killed the detective. He killed him. Another example - the cat that was killed and placed in the bag. If anyone ever got caught, and they tried to tell on him, nobody would probably believe them. The only time they screwed up was while transporting the body and that too, cause the policewoman suspected them. Dentist was always BTS. Even at the very end, he is still behind the scenes. He is crazy, but he is "intelligent crazy". Joon Woo never suspected him until the food incident. But, he readily believed that the rest were crazy. (Dentist reminded me a lot about Ted Bundy - he single handedly committed so many crimes and nobody ever suspected him due to his charisma. )
About to watch the finale. Love this show, but I am just not believing the central BF/GF thing at all. There is…
To me, it seems that they did have a good relationship "before". (I can't provide evidence. From their talks before his arrival, they did seem to be a lot in touch.) But, once he actually got to Seoul, she prioritized her work above him. They rarely spent much time together and there is a sense of disconnect from both sides. She is worried, but keeps her "country bumpkin" image of him intact, leading to her misunderstanding him a lot. [This is one thing that lead him to bottle up his emotions and anger.] Overall, he was trying hard to give her space and understand her situation. Her boss and work was so crappy and she let herself get pushed around and didn't have any time for him. Plus, from his side, within days after moving to Seoul, he finds out that his coworkers either like him/hate him for no reason, the man next door had gone missing, a variety of creepy individuals watched him, his own boss friend was putting him down in multiple ways, his girlfriend had no time for him, etc... So, it was not a happy-go-lucky situation for both of them. Hence, their disconnect. Thats how I felt while watching. Like what Mr. Dentist told: everyone were eventually strangers when it finally came to themselves. Their relationship is one example of how true this was.
It depends I guess. Sometimes live adaptations work better in portraying some aspects, and sometimes the book does it better. I've only seen one of Priest's works. But, I've planned to read Mo Du before it gets released. I actually preferred the live adaptation of Word of Honor than the book. The characters were changed, but they were more interesting and fleshed out than the book, which seemed kind of lacklustre.
Three episodes in and I'm sold! I'm praying that it keeps up the same pace and depth till the very end. Still emotionally revovering from previous dramas and this is like a breath of fresh air.
Hey ,i have Two questions if someone can answer :) 1. Its any love triangle betewen ML and FL 2. It is normal…
1. There is some kind of entanglement of feelings between three characters. But, its technically not in a straight up love triangle. 2. Romance is not a huge part of the story. :)

But, Republican Era dramas are not my thing - which is why I haven't watched it.
