There are a lot more green flag ML’s in fantasy dramas lately. (or maybe I’ve just gotten better at picking what to watch. )

I love Anne of Green Gables too!

I agree. While many things that happen in K dramas don’t match my personal values, they are good storytelling without explicit/excessive display of the things I don’t want to see.

if you have a problem with characters drinking excessively, maybe Asian dramas aren’t for you.

it’s definitely not for everyone

Okay, just a heads up, if you can’t turn off your brain to enjoy an absolutely bananas plot then this isn’t for you. Also if dub/non con is triggering for you then I would also not recommend this.
If you enjoy watching insane plotlines with cartoonishly evil villains for the camp, then I absolutely recommend it.

Seriously he was being very weird about it!

he just isn’t ready to tell her, but instead of saying that simply, he has to be super vague. their whole problem is communication, so it makes sense that it would continue.

I think you might be right, I wrote him off as benign earlier, but I don’t know anymore….

I think she can’t imagine a situation where he would know and not hate her/turn her in.

back for my weekly squee/lament that I have to wait 6 whole days to see more!
This is why I never watch shows as they are airing! it’s so dang good it’s all I can think about!

ahhh!!! this drama is so good! the leads’ chemistry is amazing! Can’t wait for tomorrow!!!

Thanks for sharing. It’s always nice to learn the similarities and differences of the different parts of the world.
love your profile pic, btw

I don’t know where you are from, but in my country dramas have insanely unrealistic set ups and relationships.
It’s perfectly valid to ask the question, I too don’t know what it’s really like in China, but I imagine it is safe to assume that their tv shows have many unrealistic elements like anywhere else.

We must’ve watched entirely different dramas. I thought the FL was really realistic, relatable, and mature given her situation and position in life. The business with the mistress in episode 15 was to illustrate that everyone has legal rights and it is the lawyer’s job to not make moral judgments but to defend the rights of any given client. I have only ever seen depictions in fiction of lawyers being heroes or despicable. I really appreciated that this show gave a more nuanced look at what being a lawyer(especially in family law) might be like.

ML and 2ML grew up together, so they were friends before. 2ML and FL have a sort of “missed connection” in their past which inspires the 2MLs feelings. 2ML isn’t exactly over her in the end, but he acknowledges her choice and doesn’t plan to keep going after her.

If you like a goofy lining on what is actually quite a lovely emotional romance then yes, you should watch it.

Above comment is not really spoiler-y. But spoilers can be inferred from the comment so.. tagged just to be safe.

great question! I hate hate hate when the second lead is a really good guy until he gets rejected and then turns evil. I mean I get it, those people exist in real life, but come on. It get to be way
too much sometimes.

The tone of this drama starts as a farce and slowly transforms into a serious drama. I was surprised by how moved I was by both the lead and 2nd lead couples.
Highly recommended if you want to see a beautiful romance and don’t mind some over the top jokes in the first several episodes.
