See my comment above. There were no even romance scenes during high schools episodes. Lust is strong word when the teacher never did anything inappropriate to her.

It's amazing how people hate age gap in Doctors but not Goblin. Doctors so much age appropriate than goblin in which:
-in the beginning ML purely wanted to help FL increasing her potential. Unlike goblin where it started with knowing "bride at first sight".
-even though ML grew up feeling toward FL,it's never clearly shown in her teenage episodes and no advance ever making toward FL, and he never acted upon it,nothing cross the line.at that time, it's more like admiration in ML side. unlike goblin where ML kept asking the FL to see him as potential lover.
-teenage FL so much mature in Doctors compare to Goblin (where she acted childish and cute like normal 15 years old high schooler) due to her circumstances.
-FL is bad ass at 17. I understand why even 26 male adult like the teacher EVENTUALLY grew feeling toward her. I mean she's cool, smart, pretty, and can kick some male ass. Rarely you will meet girl like that in your lifetime, so I don't see nothing inappropriate + the teacher just keep quite about his feeling (he's probably wait for her to be graduated or something. And no, no grooming. Instead, he showed her path to success in life)

And all romantic things, scene, story, happened 13 years after where everyone is age appropriate, then the story shifted to romance plot. During teenage years, there is no romance plot at all, they are focusing on her family story and how the teacher help her to be a better student.

I am surprise the rating is not 5 and below. The act, the story, dialogue are so ridiculous. How you have bandage all over your head and eye when you just have scratch on your cheek ??!! The FL is basically no brain, the ML only have one thing in mind about the FL, and yes, I know this is taken from smut, but it feels like high school class director took the shot of every intimate scene. I will give this 4.0 only for the effort.

Nothing, they don't make like this anymore since it's not typical drama that attracts people a lot. Too realistic. But you may enjoy Because it's my first life,where the similarity that they explore the character and showed the raw feeling of them.

Jung ji oh is a man of pride and actually very insecure inside. While he loved jun young to death, once they back together it was appeared to him that he and jun young were in different class (social). But not aware on his own insecurity, his pride led him to believe that Jun young was the "trouble" one. That she was cold, selfish,she's not able to understand him enough,etc. there was this pivotal scene, before he decided to break ties with her,where he saw Jun young met in cafe with his ex, the doctor. It's not merely simple jealousy but also insecurity that Jun young was in fact out of his league. Not to mention he had issue with his father, and he came from poor family despite himself being accomplish director, when Jun young came from wealthy one (despite not really shown in her daily appearance) not too mention also a talented young director. He sabotage their relationship cause he felt insecure dating her. It seemed stupid reason to break up in drama,but it happens a lot in real life esp with man. The worst part was he made like it was her fault, that she's not "caring" enough about their relationship. I felt bad for Jun young to be just cut out without real reason and that the most heartbroken break up I ever seen in drama. The pain was real. After sometime he realized that it is his own pride that not let him dating someone "above" him. It's kinda difficult to understand at first his reason, but I watched it 3 times at first just to understand the whole character.

That's why I love this series so much cause it's so realistic. Their conflict came from within each character,not because external or plot line. I hope this help.

Agree in romance department. Give us more, please.

8.5/10 due to fresh idea, fast paced, music,and nice cloth. The romance could be better, and really don't mind follow up the passionate kiss. Like, are they couple now ??The lack is acting part.and kinda expected plot twist, but didn't get any in the end, but it's okay.

she should take more project like Full House, World Within, DOS, My brilliant life where she could play with her expression. I feel bad she keep getting project like she did years ago, Autumn in my heart. ugghh, I hate her character in that drama (cried in every episodes). I only started to like her when she played Full House.

why the ML and FL talking and walking really really slow ? This show is bearable watching in 2x speed. there's no way real life people talking that slow. and the whole show could have been finished in 10 episodes. cause pretty much nothing happened in most of episodes.

Coffee and Vanilla is from popular smut manga in Japan (which also raise important question, why Japanese women can tolerate the stupidity of FL and make this manga so damn popular, inspiring any human being to make live action upon it).
I also has so much problem with how women characterized in Jdrama. I watched this Cursed in Love that have good premise and seemed to offer strong FL who ready to avenge her mother death, only to saw her drop everything and forgive everyone cause she fell in love with ML. where all the badass women from 90's Jdrama ? I remember watching Suzu Aisawa in Ienakiko where she survived attempted murders from her family and classmates, death of her first love, betrayed by her second love, and again death of her third love, and she still survived and moved her life on.
I want to recommend you something, but I also has yet to find where FL can act like normal human being.

if you can bear pretty dumb FL and looking for some 50 shades of grey japan style, then try this. I give rating 1/10 cause I care about society and I very much determine to discourage any producer to create drama like this. Society deserves better.

his maid ? I think she admire him but not to extent she thinks she would have a chance pursuing him.

I just read your comment and I could not been agreed more. especially on chemistry of character. People mostly expect their chemistry to be more, but I found it's suit their character.

if you expect this to be 80% romance, then it won't get any better. It's more on palace politics. Romance ? not so much. try LLTG if you want more grounded story.

on casting side, yes it is started to feel weird after Bai Fenxi identity revealed. No offense with ZL, but she just still not have this strong persona as Queen. Probably because of her voice. She could work more on expression, but as of now, her facial expression is too cute. I still like it when they they are just Bai-Hei Fenxi, their dynamics more suitable for them.

around 12 episodes onward, but mostly just flirting.

my personal impression of the drama:
1.Lord of Yongzhao is stupid. Period. He seems all about bringing "peace" in his house, but he's truly man without any plan. I hate 3rd prince, but he's the only character that speak facts about the King is hypocrite and only cares about his position than anything else.
2.What's with the scene Yu Yuan have personal interest with Bai Fenxi, and suddenly tried to kill her in Mount Wu ??
3.They married for 5 years and still don't have kids. Mmm, should they worried about heir ??
4.I am really curious about maid of Queen Baili. I noticed that they never showed her face. She has so many dialogues but still no face. I thought she will be like this important character but turned out they just too lazy to use real actor there. Kinda disappointed.
5.Kinda wish it would be grand revelation that she is the Princess Xiyun.

For everyone coming here from Love Like The Galaxy and expect it to be at least the same (like me, lol), then don't. I love LLTG, but WRTW is just completely different drama. Bai-Hei Fenxi are two powerful characters to begin with, so don't expect their interaction will be as lovey dovey teenagers as Li Bu Yi-Saoshang. For me, it's still a right amount of chemistry considering their background as masters in martial art world. LLTG has so many sweet moments as couple compare to WRTW , but it is understandable since WRTW has more going on in politics story line. So, the romance built around the politics plot, whereas LLTG main plot built around the romance line. With that in mind, I could enjoy watching WRTW without longing the trace of LLTG. It has great plot on palace politics. Unfortunately, everything are rushed in final episodes. As a result, the final battle feels like anti-climax. It's 9/10 until 5 last episodes which I think it's kind of mess there. I like ZL as Bai Fenxi more than her as Feng Xiyun, maybe because of her voice is just not give that kind of persona. some people complained about ZL/YY forced chemistry, but I didn't see it (and this is come from me who still can't move on from ZL/WL over the roof chemistry in LLTG). I was very much still smitten whenever YY character stare at ZL character. and the kiss, kinda better than LLTG , lol.

It takes me exactly a month after LLTG. Lol, I thought I would never get over with it. As I agree the chemistry between the two is not to compare with LLTG, I also realize that it's completely different story and characters. As I immersed into story, I could separate Bai Fanxi and Saoshang as a character. As a result, I found Bai-Hee Fanxi relationship much more be believable and started to invested into it. Yes,when I watched LLTG, li buyi-saoshang showed their chemistry by small touch, gentle voice, affirmation, and that's what made their interaction is so over the roof. But I also realized, it's LiBuyi-Saoshang, and they are not Bai-Hei Fenxi, the best duo in martial arts world. Of course their relationship and their interaction will be completely different. Just by that, I started to enjoy YY and ZL chemistry. I personally think it fits their character and story. Give it a time. And btw,kiss here is better than LLTG. Lol. Sorry,guys.

Sorry, what I meant, if someone greatly affected by a fiction, it means the story is that good to get the impact . So I knew you were joking and "0/10" is more like sarcastic comment.
