I stumbled across this drama last week and just finished it - am in love with the two main leads and am happy to see they are slated to do another drama together soon. I don't have anything to add as most commenters have nailed what is good and bad about this drama. I was just curious if anyone knew where to find the book translated in English - the book sounds waaayyy more interesting
On episode 25 and still not liking it that much beyond the two main characters - so far, the rest of the characters are just annoying. I’ll see it to the end - but man, this is a slog so far.
Working my way through this one and its a bit of a slog - talk about super-slow burn. Things I am enjoying - I like the ML - good character and the actor is doing a great job Sooooo happy that they didn’t give the FL a baby voice - they still have the character behaving like an idiot most of the time, but at least not talking with that horrible baby voice - so more tolerable - probably would have dropped this otherwise. Will see it through to the end and waiting for the FL to be stronger and for the two leads to get back together - but its a slog at this point.
Just finished this up and have to say - kind of conflicted. I am always intrigued to watch something that I kind of like, but has lots of issues to them come here and read the comments and everyone is raving about it- and I am like, ‘did we watch the same thing??” Overall, the story is not too bad and I do like the two main leads actors - but did not feel too much connection/chemistry between the two of them - so this piece didn’t work for me. They spent waaaayyyy too much time on the Mimi character and storyline - to the point of annoyance. Too many subplots and side-stories. And while I was originally annoyed by the Princess Li Yan storyline -it grew on me. I would add that this is another one of the c-drama’s with a weird, choppy ending Mostly I would say - this is an ok watch
I just finished watching and from episode 53 I am confused. I didn't understand anything.
Ha - I had the exact same thought! It totally didn't make sense. If you look up in the Recent Discussion sections - looks like someone went back and edited this so it makes sense. I haven't watched yet - but might be worth a try.

agreed. I had to go back and watch a bunch it over just to try and figure stuff out-that is bad editing and storytelling and just ruined, what was pretty good story.
Only on episode 15, but man am I struggling to get through this one. The story isn’t really that interesting and the exaggerated ‘baby’ voice is especially grating. I complain about this affect ALOT - but it is particularly bad here - and it is completely an affect. She is playing at being ‘dumb’ so she employs this baby voice (and dont get me started on why this particular voice affect is associated with being dumb) - she also employs it in her vlog - cause, apparently, being cutesy/ditsy and having a baby voice is how you sell makeup/beauty products- NOT!). And this is confusing because she acts this way to appear dumb, but uses the same tactic to sell makeup/beauty products - make it make sense! It’s additionally offensive given that she has a PHD and is incredibly smart - but thinks that she needs to act this way to be appealing or that this is how one behaves and speaks so they seem unintelligent or to sell products Not feeling much chemistry between main leads at this point. The second couple story is just dumb, they spend way too much time on them and I cant get past that he lies about having a disability - its kind of offensive. I am fast-forwarding through so much if it right now because so much of it is just soooo stupid and I find the FL character sooooo annoying
What is it with these weird choppy endings. THe Blue Whisperer was like this. Random bits at the end that aren’t really connected and make no sense. Blue Whisper - its the last scene and you have to go to the comments on MDL to figure out what’s the hell happened. This, is also the last couple of scenes - that are just random and dont really wrap up the series that well at all. Which is a shame - this is actually one of the better stories out there and then they just ruin it with the crap ending
Bro in which episode the 2nd arc begin and if i skip 1st does it ruin the series. I watched the 1st few episodes…
I would FF through it if you can - especially if this is the first time you are watching - don't skip it entirely as it does play into the overall story
Not as good as Love Designer, but way better than Lucky with You. Pretty repetitive business drama - that kind of makes you lose interest after awhile. Wish they had spent more actual time on their relationship - felt like kind of an afterthought. Biggest downside was the whole mom trauma storyline at the end - just felt too contrived (and, quite frankly, not really that big of a trauma to have caused such drama) Not a bad watch overall.
This had such potential - both the lead actors are pretty good, storyline wasn't bad - but they mucked it up with weird editing which made it kind of bumpy in the first story arc and completely off the rails with the weird last scene that you have to come here to sort out. I generally like the actress who played the FL - but , not so much in this drama. It took about 3/4 of the way through before you could really empathize/like her. She spends most of the drama looking worn out and beaten down - there was just something not appealing this character. I found almost all the side characters - aids/friends, whatever you want to call them completely annoying - like, seriously, stop talking and stop rushing in to say/do stuff (especially her butterfly friend) Wish they had spent more time at the end with them reuniting and less on everyone else's happy ending.
Except for the rushed ending (due to a production issue) - this was quite well done. The chemistry between the three law firm characters was fantastic. Pave was good, working was pretty good and the main leads were fantastic. Totally worth the watch - would love to see more - but not holding my breath

Well that was almost a complete waist of 40 episodes - could have easily been half that, added more relationship development between leads, cutout the stupid second/third/fourth romance storylines,, shorten the business drama (it was just dumb), and then this might have been ok. And waaayy too much time spent on the dad - the man was just an asshole and we didn't need 4 episodes of trying to redeem him - much less a romantic storyline.
