Not much romance and each episode is a story on its own. I watched it bc of the rave reviews but I’m on Ep 7 now and it’s still pretty boring. There’s not much underlying plot that is developing and the FL is still not part of the story. In fact, Wang An Yu is also really not part of the story either because each episode is a case he is reading about so he’s not really in it either except a little in the beginning and the end in each episode. Thought the plot would be much better given the reviews. It’s a bit disappointing.

This feels a bit like a remake of Reply 1988.

For me this drama was a 10/10 fantastic. LOVED the lead’s chemistry and the story. It’s about preference, just what kind of dramas you like and what type of love story you like. For me, I found the Double boring and annoying. It reminded me of old revenge Kdramas from a decade ago. And I didn’t love the FL there bc I didn’t see much improvement in her acting since Yanxi. But I know a lot of people loved it. So it’s just a personal preference, not that one drama is better than the other. For me, I loved this one.

Their chemistry was fire. So fantastic. I don’t know what the director was thinking g making everything rated PG. I’ve seen his other works so I know he could do better. I’m wondering if it was some type of censor issue.

Why are we remaking Princess Agents instead of continuing that with a sequel that everyone is waiting for. Also, to go from Zhao Liying as Chu Qiao to this young FL seems a bit…. I guess we’ll wait to see if she has the charisma for this role.

I liked him in LLTG so I’m happy that he is getting some main roles. Hope this drama did well so he can continue to get good roles.

I liked her in Ever Night and the Untamed. Don’t care for her off-camera personality but I like her as an actress so I am glad she’s finally getting the main lead roles.

I really like this director’s work. They are always beautifully shot and have interesting storylines and characters. Looking forward to watching this.

On ep 1 but not loving it. I’m surprised by the director, I thought he’d be better given his filmography. The side characters are over the top. Worst of all, I feel like they are underutilizing Lee Jong Won’s acting skills - the ML character is rather boring, and the set up in contrast with the FL is too cliche. I’ll watch a few more episodes to see if it’s gets better but so far it’s a bit disappointing especially given the acting spectrum of the FL and ML.

Fabricated City is an old movie JCW was in. The new drama is called The Manipulated.

I’m only seeing 15 minute episodes on YouTube, is that right? Thought they’re 40 minute episodes

Back to Seventeen was such a surprise! A must watch that’s very underrated! I’d also recommend Butterflied Lovers. The plot is pretty fantastic and the cinematography is stunning.

Season 2 is so terrible. What happened to the main characters? Who are all these random people I don’t care about. Why is this all of a sudden some kind of military drama with super boring subplots. S2 completely missed the points that made S1 a hit. Humanity in the face of adversity and characters worth rooting for trying to survive in an apartment complex. The story was so focused and tight with great character development all around.

S2 was none of this. None of the characters are worth anything in S2. Even Hyun Su was super annoying and naive. S2 suffered from having way too big a budget with unnecessary location shoots, bombs and guns everywhere, barely any monsters, and barely any coherent plot. All in all, it was such a chaotic mess. I think the fans of S1 could have written a much better S2. SO DISAPPOINTING. I don’t even know if they can fix the series with a S3.

I get him and Yoon Chan Young the guy who was in All of Us are Dead, mixed up.

I agree, I like the drama but wish he was a much better father and put more effort into her and being in the present than trying to go back to the past, be a hero, start a new romance with the FL or any of that nonsense. His priority should have been his daughter. It was a big miss by the writers. We don’t care so much about his romance as his role as a good dad.

This drama is worth watching. It’s starts out quite comical and I love the FL’s unserious mannerisms. It’s a refreshing contrast to all the other kdrama FL who are overly done up and pretty and sweet and etc. The FL is strong, realistic college girl, is honest and stands up for herself and speaks her mind. I really like that - I’m tired of all these “good” FL who never stand up for themselves, is always taking sht from other ppl because they are so “good and innocent”. The FL here is more realistic. And she has great chemistry with the ML. Overall it’s an enjoyable and fun drama to watch.

No. They’re pretty honest with each bc other, maybe too much lol. A few scenes where you think they could’ve been more honest with each other but it’s quickly resolved. So no, it’s a good watch and a non-toxic relationship for a change. Just finished this last night.

The ratings are probably low because some crazed anti-fan had an opinion on the cast. That’s usually what I’ve seen.

I am not really sure why he continues to be targeted by the Chinese fans. Does anyone know if it’s really bad? I don’t see any projects in 2024. I just don’t understand how the voice of a few can really damage someone’s livelihood like this. I didn’t even think what he allegedly did was bad, it’s his personal life. His professional life seems fine. Are Chinese fans really that crazy?

Can’t believe people are actually commenting on the FL’s weight. How anorexic do you want these actresses to be? And you wonder why these actors and actress constantly try to get skinnier. How toxic.
