Just finished this up - it was quite the long-ass journey and felt like it took a lifetime to finish. Soooo slow, weird editing (especially the first half). So many side stories and characters (almost too many to keep track of). Killed off some of the best character for no real reason. Insufferable FL although good chemistry between the two main leads. Qin Jun Jei really carries the whole drama - really the only point of watching this.
Overall, I would say this is just ok. I appreciate the attempt to tackle the issue of prejudice against divorce and women working (not done perfectly - but one of the better attempts at it) I like both the main leads - but man, not feeling ANY chemistry between them and most of their intimate scenes even feel awkward The brother/best friend marriage storyline is just dumb and pointless Waiting for TJH to stand up to his mom and kick the princess to the curb Waiting for FL to realize Pres Tang is not her friend Another cdrama with horrible moms I am on episode 28 and actually getting kind of bored - the legal dramas are kind of repetitive And can we stop with the stupid side-kick friends that give the worst advice and do the stupidest things
Not the worst, but not that great either. doesn't really get interesting until the second half and another cdrama with a crap ending that just makes no sense (lets throw in a completely nonsensical plot twist in the last 30 mins - wtf!!)
On episode 11 and can't believe how incredibly stupid this is so far - they have already dragged out this amnesia thing way too long. I get its just a plot line - but why everyone feels the need to play along with his delusion, instead of just continuing to remind hm of the situation and that what he is doing is so inappropriate - its just all so stupid. Now into episode 14 - and really, the FL is going to get into a romantic relationship with a man she knows thinks he is someone else at this point - does she have any self-respect?? I am finding her quit pathetic at this point - that horribly mousey girl/woman with low self-esteem/insecure, that can't tell people no - hate this kind of character - especially as portrayed as the some sort of ideal love interest Someone needs to have a serious convo with writers of cdrama romance stories about what healthy relationships look like - cause this is not it! And what was with the last two episodes - just replaying the drama they acted in - that was just weird.
Just started this and my god, this FL is annoying (in the college years) - she's that girl/person who just doesn't…
Into the security competition part and man - she is getting painful to watch - I don't understand why she doesn't just tell him why she wants to win/partake in the competition, goes and recruits Li Xun to the project without telling Old Gau - when she knows this is a sore spot for him - she's just awful (at this point)
Just started this and my god, this FL is annoying (in the college years) - she's that girl/person who just doesn't like being told they can't do something, doesn't know when to stop and just keeps making things worse - she's kind of obnoxious, bratty, childish and not a very clever person - hoping she gets better with age A dear lord - all the ridiculous girls falling over themselves for the 'cute' boy - can someone please write these so that girls/young women are shown having some dignity - its just embarassing
This was just ok for me - only because I don't really care for the whole zombie thing - just not my cup of tea - but if you like zombie things - this is probably for you. I only really watched because I like so many of the actors in it and they don't disappoint!
1.) That scene where they tried to lure all the zombies to the frozen lake. That was kinda stupid imo? I thought…
My thoughts exactly - I wanted to throw things at my screen - I mean seriously, all of that - just to give it up at the end. Of course, its all part of the cliffhanger (that we probably won't get to see the resolution to) - but, gah!!
Just stumbled across this and it was so good! It could have been a few episodes longer (not a full 30+ episodes) - just to make the ending better - but than, som e serious chemistry between the leads - plot was new (again, a few more episodes to fill that out more would have been nice - like what happened to her sister and the real Shen Qin, etc..) - otherwise, well done and worth the quick watch.
only on episode 6 - but not sure I can finish this one - my god - who wrote this drivel! This female character so far is just annoying so far - jumps to every wrong conclusion, clueless about the guy friend, overthinking everything, doesn't listen - what, all because she liked a guy for a long time, didn't bother to tell him, made a public confession (that he didn't see) - thought he ran off (again not the reason he left) and is now soooo traumatized by this that she has become an idiot This character also feels a bit like a man wrote how he thinks a female thinks
It takes a while to get into...I too dropped it for a long time. Does get better!
I am with you on this - I had to come back several times and multiple convos with my sister to keep convincing me it was worth watching. I really only found the last story arc ok. I am glad I persevered, as it led me to the books - which I am looking forward to reading.
What is this obsession in asian dramas with the huge age gap? Especially the super-young women with the older man - this wouldn't have bothered me nearly as much if she were later in her 20's - but this 18-21 range with someone in their mid-to-late 30's is just kind of creepy. And why I find creepy about it, is not so much the physical age difference, but the gap in maturity and life experience that occurs at this age range - it was the most apparent in the last few episodes and the storyline with the younger brother - deal lord - she was like a post-pubescent teenager and why a man in his 30's would be attracted to this is beyond me. And it wasn't so much the photo as that she lied to him (repeatedly) because apparently, helping the younger brother, who she had just met, was more important than being honest with her fiancé. That being said - they also made it sooo tropey - the clueless, naive, kind of ditsy young woman and the stoic, older, loner businessman who's never been 'in-love'; the childhood friend who is in-love with her, but never says anything; the coworker/longtime friend who thinks they should be together; and this stupid idea that just because you have known someone longer or been around them longer - you should be the one to be with them, completely discounting how the person actually feels. She also has THE WORST friends and the side-stories are just kind of pointless.
if you want something silly, short and light to watch - this is a good drama for you. Nothing spectacular about it and as long as you go with the silly - it can be kind of fun. Am laughing more at the comments here - especially about the 1st episode and that somehow cheating is 'western' thing or that Netflix is 'westernizing' dramas because of that episode - yeah, like that doesn't happen anywhere else except in the west - lol!! And, of course, completely missing the point of it 1. this is some random hookup - this was a guy who she had dated for quite a long time, 2. the new BF knows she has stayed out all night and slept with someone and doesn't really seem to care and breaks up with her all at that time (clearly something he was planning to to ahead of time) - all of which is speaking to how they don't really have a relationship. And, it shows the connection that these two still had with each other - cause, my god, you don't have sex like that with someone you don't still have a connection with.
Just finished tis and overall it was a good watch - paved well, interesting story and the leads had good chemistry (for the most part, until they actually were intimate and then FL kind became a wet fish - that horrible, I am just going to stand here and not move while my partner kisses me - its just weird. She got a little better over time - but not much) The last few episodes went a bit off the rails - trying to hard and too many loose ends to tie up Was grateful to read through the comments to understand the ending and why (due to censorship rules in China - so that helped a bit)
It takes a while to get into...I too dropped it for a long time. Does get better!
I finally finished - it was ok - not particularly blown away by it. However, it did inspire me to go get the books, as apparently that is the way better story anyway

Waiting for TJH to stand up to his mom and kick the princess to the curb
Waiting for FL to realize Pres Tang is not her friend
Another cdrama with horrible moms
I am on episode 28 and actually getting kind of bored - the legal dramas are kind of repetitive
