Why do Chinese dramas always need to have a daft, stalker girl in them? And a nasty, jealous girl?

I am liking this drama so far, though I need to express my ongoing frustration and disgust at people like J Entertainment CEO's brother - instead of being jealous of people and blackmailing, cheating and stealing - get off your backside and get a job. Quit comparing yourself to everyone (you don't want their life, they have troubles you don't want to handle), work hard and be happy that you are putting your all into living your own life, with morality, dignity and true ethics. You don't have to be perfect, you don't have to be in the limelight or a natural, born genius, just honest, upright and hardworking; that has its own rewards. Hope that guy gets a good slap upside the head and learns his lesson before it is too late.

I almost jumped out of my chair when I heard this AWESOME sound bite play. Enjoy!!!!

Watch the whole thing but if you want to skip to what I am referencing then go straight to 06:44. Thanks Meghan the editor!!!

If you find a drama you like, often times where to watch it is under the drama details. Other times you can search the comments to see where others did.

Try viki.com for many free dramas with ads.
YouTube has quite a few older Chinese dramas.
The big streaming sites hold licenses to stream many and often make their own.

Figured you had. Have you seen Moment at Eighteen? It has a similar, yet different, vibe.

You have probably already worked it out, but if you go to the top of this page there is a "Recommendations" link. Click on it and see what people have added to the list.

Things I liked about this drama:

1. His new body wasn't automatically perfect at fighting when he first moved in. Muscle memory is a real thing and if the body hasn't done it, it will take time.
2. Great messaging the whole way through.
3. Parents need to admit to their shortcomings and get help, everyone does, even when the consequences are uncomfortable. Face up to small problems and issues and you may just avoid the bigger, scarier ones.
4. People are precious at every age, from conception through to advanced years. All lives matter.
5. Parents are the guardians of their children, you cannot expect the school or the state to do your job; be a decent one "provoke not your children to anger". Have decent, good, strong boundaries then give them the freedom to move with love, care and support within them.
6. No excess people or story lines, everything was just right.
7. The balance between heavy topics and humour, fighting and caring.

I have lost count of how many times I have rewatched this drama. Of course the more I watch it the more holes I find in it. Still really like it, still rate it the same as my first time through. I love the overall message: Blood for blood revenge starts a downward cycle that does nothing positive for anyone. How many countries and people groups in this world hate each other because a few hundred/thousand years ago, one guy did something to the other for which their kids began an never ending cycle of retaliation and hate.

There is a HUGE difference between forgiveness and exemption. There will always be consequences for every choice we make, good or bad. We can forgive the wrongdoing of another (or ourselves) but the consequences (while some can/may/should be reduced) will still exist. For e.g. You manipulated and lied to me; I will forgive you but I don't need to keep you in my life to continue hurting me. E.G. I might have been looking at my phone or reaching across my car for something and accidentally killed someone. I can be forgiven (I'll also need to forgive myself), but that doesn't mean the consequences are magically gone. I'll still go to jail, a family will be without a member, and so on...

Good drama. Apart from the usual excess of alcohol, it had some great messages, lots of humour and of course JCW!

I hope you ended up finishing it. This is a cute, Japanese romantic comedy; not one to be taken seriously. Slightly frustrating but worth it in the end, just park your sensibilities, embrace your zany side and go for it.

1. I think some of Yowaki's ideas are really cool and I would choose to buy & eat some of them.
2. I love how they did the presentations/her ordering people to do stuff: "It will be popular because of this and that", do that, contact that person... It's like someone has an idea and hasn't filled in the small print yet, "well the cast will tell that person to do this and present and idea like that.." LOVE IT.
3. It took them long enough; glad there is a second season. Off to find where I can watch it.

Makes sense. Thanks!

I saw your comment about playing FPS games and had to ask. What is with the game they play in this drama? Is it normal to play the same level/scenario/location/challenge (?) multiple times? Why do they show the silver cog/gear/disc things when they are supposed to be going around shooting at robots? Why do the comments scroll across the screen completely obscuring the game?

Just finished rewatching. FL still annoys me but she does get better and there is character growth mostly across the board. Still like all the scenes I mentioned below & found a few more.

I like this actor!

There were scenes I did like. ML standing up for his team; the stuffed toy story; LOVED it when he held the umbrella for his colleague while being questioned by the client (we are all the boss); the movie theatre (the WORST!)...

This comment needs the spoiler box checked.

How did you go? Did you continue? I think all of the main and major characters need help. The co-CEO has his reasons for his actions (doesn't excuse them); there is a need to look beyond the surface at all of the characters, something I'm sure you have done. That said, FL is still annoying. I know why she acts the way she does at times but still doesn't stop me from wanting to tell her to stop sticking her nose into everything and forcing the ML all the time. This is one couple I wasn't completely thrilled about getting together in the end because she is soooooo pushy & in your face.

You can click on my 'name' and check out my already watched list. Hopefully you can arrange it by country. Taiwan has some good dramas too. Not Chinese but the language is similar.

I don't think it is about the need for better laws, it is the need for better support. Very few care about the person themselves and more about the money they get because of their association with them. You are right about public figures, way to much pressure to be perfect, to do or not do whatever according to public whim. Set them up with fame and fortune without providing any guidance or support on how to handle it all.
