This was quite an enjoyable drama to watch.
I feel it's underrated.
It's wonderful to see the other side of the city and the traditional dancing.
This drama had me wanting two things
1: A DUCK 🦢
2: To Live there. (It looks peaceful and a place to heal mentally, emotionally & physically)
I personally rated this 9/10

After reading the synopsis... I don't need to watch the drama. 🤣
GREAT... Maybe I'll watch **Love's Ambition** Again

well... it's definitely not how they do it here in America. Hence, because of the overdone sexual or violent content is the reason this old lady had stop watching American movies several years ago. However, as they say here... Sex and Violence pays the big bucks in the entertainment business.
As for myself.... I like the modest respectful approach,, hence the Chinese, Korean dramas hold the brighter candle.
Thank you for that tidbit of information.
Wishing you continued health, comfort, and peace of mind

OHHHHHH... ok!!! I looked up the name *Seven and she didn't pop up. Yes, I do like her and have seen quite few of her dramas. She has good chemistry with many ML. Honestly, there are Excellent... Excellent Actors & Actresses that literally are catalysts when it comes to dramas and who is chosen to work as a FL or ML. Tan Son Yun is one of them, along with Bai Lu & Zhao LuSi, Ren Jia , Luo Yun Xi , Leo Wu.. just to name a few that I feel are Strong Catalyst.
Thank you so much for making it clear who Seven is, I truly didn't know this. I appreciate it.
Wishing you continued health, comfort, and peace of mind

Yes, I know of his marriage & even heard that he requested not to have a lot of kissing in the scripts because of the respect he has for his wife & family (however, honestly, that was just a rumor.. which I don't really know the true facts).
I don't know who Seven is, looked her up and she doesn't look like someone I've seen before, in any dramas. However, I do have to say.. that there was just a few actresses that was on equal level talent in dramas he was ML, but didn't hit the level of chemistry. Which, unfortunately made dramas suffer just a bit.
I have a great deal of respect for him as an actor & devoted family man.

I've been following this Controversary since it first broke out shortly after the young actress made a decision that broke many hearts (May she rest in paradise 🙏)
Imagine, everyone who assumes this young man is guilty just because "They Think He Is guilty via their OPINIONS, due to facts not proven" find out through the court of LAW that the family is the one at fault... uhmmmm. This is why, it's better to keep the accusations at bay, until it is proven with hard evidence that he is in fact guilty. If he is guilty, then he deserves just punishment ........BUT ... if he is not, the unfounded hate has not only put him through hell, but his parents as well.
We all have our own *OPINIONS* but taking them and making them into facts, without proof only to ruin someone's right to live peacefully is so Unjust. I'm neutral on this, mainly because he is fighting these accusations with everything he has, just to find peace with his innocence. Her family started their legal suit after he did, with accusations of being with their daughter while still a minor. It makes me wonder, *Why now if it didn't bother them before?* Why, did they wait until after he filed suit to act against him? Lot's of questions for the courts to maneuver through.
***NOTE*** If you are going to defame someone's character, it's best to make sure you did a deep dive AKA In Depth RESEARCH to truly understand what is and what isn't. It's those who throw out that hate... that only see or hear through hearsay or just glancing an few articles... OR only reading what you want to read to make your narrative of what is truth or not. Unfortunately, at this time... I'm living through this type of nonsense.
🔥I do want to give kudos to *K* commenter on here who, I can definitely tell has done a deep dive into this controversy & has knowledge of what is and isn't factual because of it.👏👏

So currently, both cases are on the table before the Court of LAW .. let's see who has the most SOLID receipts.

Whole heartily agree. You took the words right out of my mouth.
Excellent cast, ost .. .but the screen writers really ended up flopping.

Thank goodness there is someone that is riding the same bus I am 🤣

After watching the first 10 eps & cheating a little by watching snippets. This has me on the fence of dropping it.

11/2025 watching it for the 3rd time... after watching WOF (whispers of fate) which was deep & amazing.
One of my favorite scenes.. ep. 17, when her father finally grows a pair & stands up for her against his older brother & scheming wife.

I strongly feel this Amazing and Very Talented actor is a catalyst for so many drama's. In my personal opinion ... his leading ladies just don't seem to connect with him in the past few dramas where you can feel that romantic love connection. Or the script just doesn't touch on his experience as an actor. That's probably the directors fault. That is why I feel .... He's the catalyst.
The last amazing dramas... that I felt he and his leading lady stole the show was back in 2024 & before. Oh well, he picks his scripts .. can't argue with that. At least he stays within the Bright Light, no matter how low the ratings are with the drama. I know it has nothing to do with his acting.

JCW excellent actor & Disney knows how to snag him.
However, I don't know what is going on, but why does it seem that he is just being casted for a catalyst for an actor/actress that aren't on the same level of experience?
He is one of the TOP tier Korean actors ... yet I'm just baffled.
I'm on the fence with this one. I'm sure this drama will have a lot of views because of JCW being the main lead. I truly hope he gets excellent ratings with this.

Uhmmmm........ 🤔

Dropped this the first time it aired... however, giving it another try... since I've seen a lot of praise in comments on it. Plus, the leading actress... I enjoyed her in *Sword & Beloved*. Plus, Liu Yu Ning is an outstanding actor.. all around talented artist ❤️. I'm currently on ep 4 and honestly... it was my error to drop it before viewing it further than episode 1 🤣🤣🤣. I'm starting to enjoy this ... and understand the fuss over it. I guess from what I read, this drama won an award ... CONGRATS to all the Artists & BTS Staff that made this drama shine!!!! 🏆🏆🏆👏🏼👏🏼

This will be a banger for sure!!!!

Maybe the next drama will grab hold without disappointment.
crossing fingers for us both 🤞🏼🤞🏼

You have a point, yet... I try my best to NOT drop drama's. watching 10 eps can make or break the strings in my book.

So, I started watching this when it first dropped. However, after watching 10 eps.... I couldn't continue watching it.
So... currently, I'm undecided if this drama is worth starting over again? I know sometimes it take a certain mood that I need to be in to enjoy a drama. I will start watching this maybe tomorrow. Maybe.................

can't stand the waiting for eps to drop.
So, currently on-hold until more eps drop. Going to drive me batty ... because this drama is amazing & it's not even halfway through.
I guess I'll continue with Blood River & Sword of Beloved.
Sword of Beloved is rating evenly with this drama WOF
Blood River, I'm trying to warm up to it ... but struggling to continue on. Currently on ep15.
Different styles of storylines... but .. something is missing with BR, can't put my finger on it.

I'm on Ep 10 with WOF... and making it hard on myself by only watching 2eps at a time. I have to agree with ASmith.. it' nice that these two dramas have different styles. However, at this moment, I know that WOF will not be a *Drop*, and honestly neither will this one.
It's still early in both dramas... so ... keeping my fingers crossed that the storyline on both dramas don't sour to the point of dropping.
HAPPY DRAMA VIEWING 😁
