Not 2, she had 3 DRAMAS waiting to release. Other than TLOA, there's Love in Red Dust with Wxy and also Sweetest Rebellion with Zhou Keyu. We can see why TLOA might be given more priority

Liking the way a toxic character is written doesn't necessarily mean liking *him.*

Depends on your region. Viki usually have the most availability no matter where you are

Yes and we've seen bts of the drama long before this. So I wonder if they change the ending to be a HEA

On Netflix UK!!! 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉

But knowing my luck it's going to air whilst I'm on holiday. Same for Lament of Autumn. So hopefully I'll have 2 great dramas to binge when I get back 😂😂😂

A cute drama - I'm glad it was so short.

Some things did start to annoy me, like how Seo In Guk had no part to play until Episode 5, and how he was such a looser simp for FL eventhough she repeatedly rejects him and is cold towards him. Over Jisoo I came to like Gong Min Jung and Ha Young a lot more.

Could have been better, it falls short of being a 7/10 drama for me. But still an easy, frivolous drama to watch if you want something light hearted.

Yes it's a bit confusing? I accidently saw it already scheduled as Coming Soon on Viki, so I was hopeful there was a date on here but there isn't.

Can't wait, it's already on my watch list on Viki 🤩🙈

Sorry just ignore my comments I thought you were commenting to someone else 😂😭

Same here, I always watch in the og language with English subtitles.

You might get used to it or bear it for this number of episodes. I thought it's only 9 eps so I could do it too. I've taken a break from the drama but not for this reason.

No I didn't misread at all. You either misread my comment or did not read it. This person is not the original creator of the novel. She is the Screenwriter which is DIFFERENT. She wrote the script for the drama, not the original novel.

Jinqi's case is also very different as he has male cousins, so even if he doesn't have sons there are still other male lines in the Lin family. He has less pressure to take a concubine as it's not like the Lin family will die out. Yuan's circumstance was probably very common in the past too as with no other male siblings or cousins, he has to have children with other women even if his lack of Y chromosome only gives him girls. If only they knew it was all on him biologically 😂

That's not what screenwriter means at all. The original novel of Against The Current was written by He Yan Shan. A screenwriter writes the script for the screen, so she will have adapted the drama because it's not the same as the novel.

Funny thing is you could absolutely adopt a boy, especially if it's a boy from within the family's extended lines and have him inherit. Many men wouldn't have had biological sons lol

In all likeliness it should be releasing anytime during the remainder of this year.

She spends the whole drama hating her job and being fed up of it all, then ends up staying anyway because she loves him and is marrying him. I found this really disappointing and regressive. She hated being Secretary Kim but *suddenly* finds she likes it in the last episode simply because of her relationship. This drama feels older even for 2018.

I think it's important to realise this is not a romance drama. It focuses much more on the social aspects of women and the lower caste/slaves and how they suffer. Lanxiang and Jinqi are more like a side story that evolves over time around the main plot, not the other way round as happens in typical romance dramas.

To be honest, I actually quite enjoyed the first half of this drama compared to The Early Spring. I liked how this drama clearly didn't take itself seriously, it was a light hearted romcom.

Yes the second half does fall off and the leads become a bit irritating near the end. It's the typical "I'm breaking up with you because I don't want you to feel obligated towards me" complex that the FL has. But after having watched this after TES I was relieved that atleast they were less toxic than Luke and Flora. Rather than the main leads it was the mother's storyline which annoyed me more here, she did not deserve any redemption for abandoning her child over really no reason

It seemed quite promising in the first half, but the second half was just so bad and doesn't improve.

Nonsense plotlines like her mother having an undeserved redemption arc, the FL facing suspension but not the male pilot Yue, and the break up for no reason. And the editing was SO BAD. It took me so long to watch the last few episodes that I had on hold. I finally completed it by fast forwarding

I think that's her biggest conflict too. You can tell she respects him, like when he defended his sister in the domestic abuse case. Or when she went out on her own during the rebellion just to find him. But on the other hand there's a lot of barriers that prevent her going the full way into loving him. He is also a lot more imperfect than her which is why their relationship is more complex. It's very well written in my opinion
