I started watching this over a week ago and then there were no subtitles on youtube. I am only interested in Elvis…
Loved all the characters - except the Mai character... She annoyed me no end....it's been a long time since a character made me grit my teeth so much.
Poor Le will lead an unhappy if life he hooks up with her (that's what we are given to believe in the final scene. ππ
The Proff character was full of flaws too and his effort to change in the end didn't ring true at all. Very out of character and cartoon ish. But I guess that's part of the comedic effect the dram was aiming for via him.
Enjoyed watching the Hong Kong based actor Sunny playing Le. Adorable.
Well every other man is after her so i think she will be just fine.
LOL .. true.
The beauty of the DRAMA is that we deeply felt her loss and heartbreak .. yearned on her behalf .. we even understood her POV of why she ran off ..
She for me was the Female equivalent of Kim Woo Bin character in HEIRS. We wept his loss and yearning for the FL too .. It stayed loooong after the drama's HE.
I have the same thought when I watched thisβ¦.i want to go Macau. lol! I love the slice of life until ep 14,…
Finished.. Can read my final impression on the drama π
I began with a 9.5 but ended with an 8..
Never got around to warming up to Mai.. Probably the first time I wanted a lead pair to break up and not work out - that would have worked for the way the Mai character was being built and portrayed in the drama.
Same for Meng and the Proff.. She should have packed up and left.
It's the ideal HALLMARK drama... Idyllic.. Nostalgic.. Life love passion goals self actualization.
The only thing that it lacked is "FAILURE" and the acceptance of it and moving on inspite of it. IMO that would have lifted this drama to >9
It didn't have the courage to go there OR it just wanted to keep all and any "blues" out of it - and therefore it stayed "picture postcard perfect".
Somehow I had hoped that the way the Mai -Le arc was being treated they would be the breakup couple and move on with their lives. That Meng would leave the selfish Proff.
Mai and Le were totally incompatible!!! That should have been the example of when "like at first glance" might just not be suitable for long term relationship. That Le wise mom would see through her selfish, self absorbed persona as absolutely unsuitable for her son and not show any encouragement there.
Also their daughter could have been developed as bright spot of fun support character who also realizes that Mai isn't the one for her bro. Hyping up the sibling bonding index.
Mr Frank's mother?? She needed to show up and a more realistic arc developed for Casey Frank and mom with an added scene; would have enriched the drama.
Did his mom come for the final recital?
Mr Frank's original robot smile that didn't reach his eyes worked in the beginning - later one wondered if he was being depicted as mildly challenged in some way that he couldn't "true" smile (Smile Code reverb?)
Anyway it was a fun relaxing and enjoyable watch because of so many wonderful things as listed in a comment below by @riya...
It could have been more...much much more poignant and meaningful if all the endings were NOT squished into a HE
I thought the drama wrapped at 18
What happened to the ratings???
It fell of the cliff .. is it still in free-fall??
Will it hit a 6/10??
Goodness .. It enjoyed the highs of 8.9/10
Starting today - look forward to it.
Did the no.of eps also shrink??
I thought it was an 18 episode Drama??
Saw yours - we have a few matches :-D
Won't rewatch.

Mr Sunshine will burn you also
I am in the same boat.
I watched this when it was released
Which region VIKI has this drama?
Please help?
Or where else may I watch this?
I LOVED her personality .. THIS is ONE heck of a Drama

I could easily do a 5th watch .. It's addictive!
Although 5th watch I might just DO the OTP thread and FFD a lot of the other non-OTP scenes .. although it will be tough to not .. LOL
I LOVE LOVE the MOTHER!! ( AND the father too ).
She is one of the UNIQUE mother roles (of course LLTG mother is a fascinating character too) .. I LOVE these break the mold roles ..
