Actually I want to add that the strength of this drama is in the conversations and smaller interactions of the characters. Like when reading a good book, you suddenly say to yourself," is this the first time I have seen [a drama enact] this? It reminds me of people I know!"
And the script actors and production team deliver those small miracles over and over again.
Why do I feel like Jae-I might have a change of heart towards Eun Jo
Ep.2-3 Didnt Jae I's friend say something abt Jae I deliberately trying to scare off his little fiancee....? Maybe he does have a secret crush on EunJo? There must be somebody...
Ji Sung. My new idol. It is great to watch an actor who has this big a range -- how many psychological states has he raged through in these three episodes? Of course, my faves are the funny parts of episode 2.
ep19, the vow before the tea ancestors that RSB will put family prosperity above her love if LJL betrays her (or was it the family?). Now I am all in for the show. Drama, conflicting priorities. true love, bring it on.
I trust and believe in Hou Ming Hao's taste and Gen Z POV, enough to have kept on with Glory even though it looked like a tacky mocking of 'female power' to begin with.
The murder mystery makjang is great now, the characters are becoming more defined and I can relax and just be an HMH fan!
I read that comment at least a week ago that Yun Wan's death ws faked, but skated over it, buzzbrain that I am! Whoever you are you were right! And there were so many clues in retrospect that I should have noticed!
It is a classic case of a high-budget production relying on "S+ tier" actors to mask a hollow, propagandist…
The amount of propa was quite high, and slickly done. But that was an undeniably first-rate dramatic script-- the literary talent made relationship revelatory and human.. While I couldnt take a constant diet of the propa in all my shows (and this one is probably going to send me right back to kdrama's wary world-wearuiness!), this one show is still worth the watch and rewatch.
One thing I am really happy about -- I couldnt praise Zhao Jin Mai enough for the development in her acting skills she showed in Our Generation. Now no one can deny her strengths, she gives life to conversations and has good, intelligent face-acting skills. (Although I dont think she is ready yet for action roles!)
Just watched the scene where SeNa meets her boss semi-coincidentally at the entertainment company. Kim Won Hae (playing her boss ayt hthe law office) is such a good actor. He can bring tears to my eyes with just a short conversation like that.
After watching episode 30 I realized that NXG is really sometimes out of touch of the real world. All she think…
I agree with what you say. I also think it was easy to miss how tragic his situation is bec his difficulties were hidden throughout most of the beginning of the show. He fails to communicate even these to his 'friends', even tho Rong is privy to them .
As I said, I think ZX is a tragic figure. He cannot perceive himself or others correctly.
In contrast LYS is very perceptive. He is a better match to XG. She has definitely inherited that 'business mindset'; she is direct and very present-oriented . (notice how she 'kills the mood' sometimes when LYS is trying to advance the romance!) And both he and XG have personal struggles which need to be worked out in a world which is common to both their sets of parents, even if they themselves have lived on the periphery of that world, (somewhat)

I see the mdl ratings are rising as more and more people enjoy this.

One episode at a time is starting to be painful. Why is viki doing this?

What a good feeling when I know my guilty pleasure has still another 18 episodes to run.

The mystery of the love for Zhuang Xu by the home crowd is explained! He must be an idol? the way he sings is amazing!
Hee-Jin is manipulative and psychologically unbalanced. She clearly speaks impulsively at random. Even her psychological truth is unstable.
