And what can I say of the skinship - was ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
And ABSOLUTELY not gratuitous!!! So important to show it this way because he though 17 is a devastatingly handsome and MATURE man-boy - disarmingly boyish and lost at times.. And he's boiling in a pot of hormones.. The woman is single and seems not to have been in a relationship is pulled into they charm vortex of his.. and into a deeply protective stance..
They made no big shindig bones around their attraction to each other inspite of the societal taboos..
Her speech to him when he has the accident is ambivalent.. She has taken a decision to cherish him - it could be as a brother or as a friend.. To infer that she wants to have a sexual relationship with him in future IS a mistake IMO.
It means she won't neglect him or ignore him and cut him off from her life.
I mean I agree the story genre keeps switching a lot 🤣🤣😂
But still it's well done.. It starts off as a slice of life school drama of a troubled kid and an excellent mature and wise teacher; moves into a Melo (not Makjang level melo though) mode; then moulds itself like a thriller with a whodunnit feel 🤣😂🤣
BUT I couldn't take my eyes off. And it's because even though the genre was changing - it was crafting the story in that format really well. And for me the BIGGEST plus was the formidable acting skill of ALL the main actors AND EVEN supporting cast. There wasn't a missed beat.
Just one bonk to the head and ALL her memory is gone!! Like this is the assassin (who felled an experienced general) character - a regular small time thief bonks her on the head with a stick and she has lost all her experiences and memory of people.
Then after that traumatic loss she is walking around a city all big smiles, chilling like it's Sunday market - nary a spot of anxiety or fear..she has a bad cut but its not stained her clothes and then she manages to hide under the emperor's dining table in a high security venue.. With a grinning emperor who is so cool and amused by this character reaching for the sweets. Not shocked or alalarmed.
What the eff is wrong with this team of buffoons who thought up this show.
The only things that seemed fine in this drama is the actor ML who I did not see before...and the MDL brief which promised a thrill - it's always a thrill when the FL is an assassin and her target is the ML...but defintely not this "below par" drama with not an iota of thought spent on it. UGH!
Oh Goodness thanks for this update .. I saved myself a FULL Watch.I watched ONLY till Esp 6 and we are learning…
Hey I LOVE LOVED the Oldies .. watched so many .. will have to go look up the names - they were so long ago ~ Snow Queen ~ Cain and Abel ~ Smile Dong Hae (that was a sitcom)
Just that I have finished that phase in my Drama journey ;-p
The actress reen yu got married with vic Zhou that's a surprise for me for sure lol
(eye-roll)
Injecting her role was just ridiculous .. like a last minute sewn in flap .. unconvincing and uninteresting side thingy created for Vic Jhou .. she made ZERO ripples on our consciousness and senses to be bothered by her being bumped off ..
What was MOST irksome is that she apparently was a MAJOR force in his life and the drama and his future actions - EYE-ROLL

Hi there,
OH ABSOLUTELY!! It was beautifully done .. Absolutely would recommend to people ..
My reasons for dropping was NOT for any issue with the drama ...
I didn't continue with drama because :
- I have watched lots of themes and dramas around healing which used a format and style like this PLUS had characters very similar to the FL and ML .. - this had the feelz of dramas that I exhausted watching many years ago in my early drama days (when everything is so exciting - riveting -new - you don't even know all the Drama tropes and styles and formats) - at the moment I am into a different sort of roles and stories; these types what I am saturated with ;-p
So HAPPY to know you loved this drama. I TOTALLY relate when we feel that instant connect with the role and the story and it moves us to tears and choked throats (weepy face)
-----------------------------
Also I hope you didn't get confused .. I also talked about 2 other dramas in my comment .. and what I had issues with in those - Black & white - Reblooming Blue
The brief is well written.
So often MDL briefs are poorly written.. Even the whole outline given away..
Aigoo.. So awful.
Anyway I'm putting it on PTW.
Am curious now 😝
Can you tell me the date roughly?
Or repost it? I'd love to read it.
Can DM me also
Somehow the ones I watched I couldn't take a shine to.
Their dramas seem very "mild" and their FL characters too soft and gentle and sometimes passive-type for my taste 😝
Their actors are damn good looking though. And some actresses too.
I find more blood and passion and interest in the newly released "Shogun".
I plan to watch that - not Asian Drama though ( on Prime I think). Really well done. I checked out 2 eps.
Want to do at leisure when I am more able to focus.
And ABSOLUTELY not gratuitous!!!

Love this actor.
His ONE ML drama is not subbed 😭
AND it looks for interesting
When is he going to show up in a main lead role?
But she became my fave ONLY after Scent of Time.
She blew my head with that role.
❤️🔥
I dropped it too.. Just got too ridiculous after a point
