Only a few hours ago infact! So surprising

At what point does the story move to their romance? A lot of workplace Cdramas do this, typically spending SO Much time on whatever industry it is before they even forward the leads love story

FL is forced to keep emotionally neglecting and hurting him because of her own issues. Eventually she still does it for the big grand break up, eventhough she has no good reason for it by then. Plenty of angst, a loyal ML who still loves her despite everything. If you like this kind of drama then you might like this.

The ML here is the Uncle of the Fu Zheng Chu who used to like Sang Zhi in College.

But other than that no strong connection. They are just set in the same universe, ML was only a year below Sang Yan and Wen Yifan in the same school.

It's only very brief - it's set in the same universe as the ML is the Uncle of a boy who used to like Sang Zhi.

But you will likely never see any characters from Hidden Love or The First Frost at all, unless the director chooses to make a deliberate connection to the other dramas. You can still watch all the dramas individually and not as a series/spin-off or anything.

Yet somehow MDL never does this for Korean actors, for example K-actor Ahn Hyo Seop (Canadian) has an English name, Paul. But he is still known by his ethnic name on MDL. It feels like they largely do this English name thing for C-actors and actresses here.

Everyone would be fans and drama watchers on MDL, so I don't think anyone would mind calling them by their ethnic names, or atleast their ethnic stage names like Cheng Lei.

Does anyone elsr find it distracting that it lists him as Ryan here when he is literally always known as Cheng Lei? I have never seen him referred as Ryan outside of here. Some actors are primarily known by their English name (Esther Yu) but it doesn't seem like Cheng Lei is one of them 😬😐

SAME they were so good together. My favourite couple even more than the main leads 😭

I didn't get the importance of this 2 years ago when I watched it, not just about a disability friendly workplace but also how her disability affected her being able to have a relationship. She just had to time travel and find some new legs to be in a relationship with Sunjae. This is not an all-inclusive drama. You're right, the difference to Twinkling Watermelon is huge (where they incorporate sign language and the FL could still be in a relationship despite being deaf)

I finished it. I loved it until Epiosde 34, but 35-40 weren't really that great. Only the last 5 minutes of Ep 40 was an emotional full circle. But otherwise I think this drama could have made some changes to the end and been a 9.0 or even 9.5 drama. For what we got though I think 8.5 is most accurate.

However still Bai Lu's best drama for me. This has to be her career best.

Agreed I like how their love isn't a pure romance thing. She heals him, and he heals her. They both go through hurdles to help each other out of love.

That scene where she cries in complete devastation in her own makeshift grave, I was also sobbing with her 😢

This is by far my favourite drama from Bai Lu. She had already been great, but when I came onto Ep 34 I decided she is now simply outstanding 😭

...because this is a site for ALL East Asian dramas. As someone else said, if you only want Kdramas then go somewhere that caters for only Kdramas. There's Kdrama groups on social media and also on Reddit, etc.

I don't prefer so language dramas, but I don't go bashing them when I willingly and knowingly became an MDL user.

You just did though, even if you didn't call anyone out by name it doesn't mean you haven't targeted a specific group of people.

And I hate to break it to you but you're only in the minority. Insulting other people's intelligence because they did not like YOUR specific drama is highly immature and out of touch with reality. I'm not personally offended, I don't have enough time for that. I'm just calling you out because you dare to dictate others opinions like you rule this place lol 🙄💀 someone should have told you ages ago to pls get over yourself!!!

"the reviews are annoying"
"all the haters are wrong, if you didn't understand it that's a you issue"

I would say if you have to say things like this then it's a you issue too. Again nobody is wrong for disliking a drama, don't insult anyone's intelligence as if there's something wrong with them.

Same in the adult arc they were way more interesting than the main leads, even when having less screen time. Even their 1 minute scenes were great. Like when she covered him with a blanket but he was secretly awake and he smiled so cutely. I smiled as that scene was so cute 🩷

It's fans like you which are supremely annoying. If you loved it then don't hate and verbally insult those who didn't like your fave drama. Nobody is wrong for loving or hating a drama, it just depends what hits each person's flavour and vibe. Do you also insult people who dislike your fave food and say they are wrong? Your fave type of clothes? Remember nothing is as serious as you're making it to be 🙄

This child is so cute and adorable 💙. Saw him back to back in The Heir and The First Jasmine. Didn't realise he was in the The First Frost previously too!

Unsurprisingly the rating has gone down drastically and even all the top reviews are negative. This is already ageing badly as core issues are romanticised very toxicly.

1). that FL was a woman in her mid 30's living in a teenager's body and throwing herself at an actual teenager

2) the terrible misrepresentation of disabled people, people with paralysis or in a wheelchair - most specifically for portraying the FL as only being able to live a fulfilled life when she time travelled and was able to be 'normal' again in a fantasy realm.

Remember there was absolutely no need for any of this if they chose to write this drama better. You can't simply overwrite these major problematic themes just for 'romance.' If I was much younger I might have also been more oblivious, but even a tiny bit of maturity can help massively here.
