hmm I wouldn't call her either. She is very young (in the novel 19 years old?), so some naive traits, but definitely not an idiot. She is quite a tomboy and hot-headed, after watching a bit of Cheng Xiao in that skate boarding show, I look forward to her portrayal of the character. So let's hope they stick to the novel, then you won't get the general stupidly naive FL. :D

Agree!!! I wonder there are so many of us, who feels the same, why do we keep watching? hahaha As for me I am just enjoying the comedy and trying to ignore the messy plot. like at this point I am too far in to drop it. Well I rarely ever drop a drama, even the ones I am not enjoying, I am that kind of masochist.

hahaha this is exactly how I am going on with this. otherwise I would be too frustrated to keep watching. Sadly they blew the best stuff in the first couple episodes, well I guess it also does get old. Now I am enjoying it more if she hurts herself on purpose to make him feel the pain. :D

after reading your detailed analysis and explanation it actually makes sense she could act this way. haha :D I just didn't see that coming from her character, so when it started to happen I was like: noo please don't walk down that road. I don't know if it's lack of acting skill or as I'd rather believe lack of writing skill to suddenly make her the "evil one". anyways now we'll just have to see what'll happen, but after this it'll be almost impossible to redeem her and that's sad.

I just wann say love your username! Feminist and proud of it!^__^

well said and yes I partly agree. For sure they showed us how she is hurting, but they also showed us her tough side, her kindness and willingness to stand up for her friends. It simply doesn't make sense to me she would suddenly act this way, which is why viewers are even more mad I guess. It would've been much better if she had opened up to her friends, shown her vulnerable side and then heal together ... not this! At least in other high school drama with this "scheming girl plot" the girl was being like this from the beginning. Her character change is basically 180° and the transition as well as reasoning behind it are not believable enough to me.

I was so happy when he smashed that mean girl's phone I was clapping loudly in the middle of the night. xD And yes I just call her mean girl, cause not bothering to remember her characters name

exactly!! I mean I knew this plot was gonna end up typical Kdrama at one point, but I am super disappointed in her character change. I mean she was such girl crush material in the beginning, I loved her way of standing up to others . They could've and should've done so much better with her role in the drama. Not only in dramaland but also in real life, this toxic feminity of women putting each other down has to stop.

I don't get people who are offended just because you don't like the same stuff. A friend of mine loves crime and thriller, while I mostly go for romcom and slice of life, but we still talk about drama and Asian actors in general a lot and share what we are watching. Sometimes we find a drama we both enjoy. It's not bad to switch genre from time to time - like broaden your mind people. :D

Great article! it's interesting to see how everyone has different ways of finding a new drama.

-For me definitely I changed a lot since starting drama, in the beginning I was mainly going for dramas that had the actors I liked, because I knew nothing much . Or I was looking out for stories adapted from Manga that I read. But now there are so many cool websites like MDL where I can search by other criteria.
-I rely on reviews a lot, but only by people that finished a drama, that's why I don't really like to watch ongoing drama, and I hate to wait for the new episodes. ;D
-Thank you for the tipp with the Tags, I never really looked at those and seems like it could help a lot. :D
-But sometimes one has to be brave and try something new like you said! I always had good impressions of dramas where I didn't know the cast, and very importantly the Drama discussions or "Currently watching "articles on MDL have introduced me to very good dramas, that I would normally not have watched.
-Interestingly the youtube algorithm also recommended me a lot of fan-made drama videos (or even entire episodes like for "30saimade"), which led me to watch a drama

But most of the time the final deciding factor is still watching a drama out of mood I guess? ^_^

I guess this got recommended to me on youtube because of "30sai made" uugh the amount of cringe I just had to suffer, but imagining the characters of Riichi and Kurosawa flirting each other made it slightly more bearable. :D I am still dying to see this cross over ...ah maybe in my dreams

that just made me laugh so hard xD

oh there was a Korean version aswell? haha I am clueless. I think for now I'll just stick with the Japanese version. :D

I love their music~
I have to admit I found Ariel Lin quite annoying, but that's supposed to be her character. lol Overall one of the best Taiwanese drama I watched, so far I am enjoying the Japanese version aswell. let me know what you think when you try "In time with you". :D

oh I knew that Indigo La End song, butdidn't know it was in a drama!:D I really enjoy their music. The drama is like a Japanese version of 'In time with you' and it's the actor of 'Life sonjou no bokura', I think I'll check it out. thank you^^

This took me longer to finish than I expected, but maybe it's cause it got so involved with Zombie ahjussis back story. It feels like this was his origin story and now there should be another season with actual zombie detective work, but as others said it seems like a closed story as it it. There were funny parts and suspense so I still enjoyed it.
Can I just say the "romance" is still putting me off? Okay there was no actual romance, but lucky considering a zombie is still a walking CORPSE after all - oh necrophilia. >_<

I am still against a romance, because I don't believe any Zombie could be turned back into human .. basically he is a corpse that's moving around. but I like the female lead more an more!
and yes waiting sucks. XD

so finally I finished it! I think the end was quite obvious, ever since they talked about visiting the old guy in the magic place I knew they were going to go back. although I had wished for Li Xuan to retrieve his memories earlier and maybe a bit more back story. I mean Dragon dude almost killed him and then never even talked to his own nephew and was just like: I'm gonna leave and not bother with humans anymore bye~ whyyy?? anyways it was okay and I am satisfied. ^^

yeah they really put in lots of effort with his Zombie style! and yes definitely hope he'll get to use his Zombie super powers. xD

haha thanks! I don't think I will watch"The last Empress" but I always like to know about references. :D
