So glad I didn't watch this. I can't stand baiting with romance.
I do admit it is at a snail pace from the ML's side- that's why most call the romance "non existent" 🙈🙈🙈
I guess it's more realistic given his circumstances? He's been at odds with his ex wife for the first 6-7 episodes and only was able to get proper closure from her somewhere between ep 7-9 so it wouldn't feel right for him to hit on the FL while being mad at the ex.
The romance-legal ratio isn't like with Suspicious Partners/ Judge from hell for instance. We know the FL adores him (he even caught her drunk sniffing his handkerchief once since she loves his perfume 😅) but he's more like soft centered hard chocolate- serious on the outside (but not mean) but a softy once he let's his guard down.
Personally i don't really care if they get together or not but i do love seeing their emotional intimacy.

They do have an underlying main case too that's been going on since ep 1. It revolves around corruption within Yullim (the law firm they represent).
As for romance, if you are into slow burn dramas that focus on building their emotionaal intimacy (specially given that she's a junior and he's her direct senior/ they've known eachother barely a few months), then this is for you. But if you need something more fast paced, probably not your cup of tea (specially since individual cases do not interest you either).
Said it before and I will say it againWith every appearance , the ex wife keeps getting Worse and Worse!You think…
Seriously. Somehow the latest explanation makes things worse.
Not being ready for kids and keeping him out of the loop since she didn't want to deal with him over a healthy pregnancy is unfair but understandable in a way BUT if it's a legitimate medical reason, how could she not let him know?
The tortured matyr act is so exhausting. 😅
(From Yun's side, they could have tried couples therapy if he wanted to help her but that doesn't give the ex the right to blame him when the core issue was her hiding the problem in the first place)
I believe based on Ep 12 preview and the way ep 11 ended, we will get some closure on this topic.
Exactly! We probably won't see them get handsy like with the Second couple but there's definitely sparks flying or at the very least a promising future.
Please NO, getting the ML to start looking at the FL in a romantic way in the last episode is just RIDICULOUS…
TBF the eventual romance/ current sincereity he feels for her didn't just happen overnight- the drama has been slowly building his feelings since ep 2/3 subtly.
It was clearly mentioned that Yun doesn't share his private life with anybody and more importantly his private thoughts due to his insecurities but KHM has been slowly breaking his walls since the beginning. She is his confidante and even got to see his "dark" side during the child abuse case.
We also know that Yun's main reason for falling for his ex was because he could be himself with her (or at least that's what he thought). With KHM you can see the side of him we only got to see when Hash was around. So it's not sudden romance. They've been getting emotionally connected for quite some time now.
You might suggest that we could also consider this as platonic from his side but it's a kdrama. Which ML can resist it when the FL keeps protecting him? Specially when they vibe together so well?
That being said, we might not get 🔥🔥🔥 like with the second couple given their circumstances but it will at least probably end with sparks flying.
Did i miss the part where they got together? Last thing i remember before them eating together and him cutting…
I think the fact that she was able to move forward with her daughter in the last episode kind of helped her realize that she needs to embrace her life better? Like the SML suggested?
I think it's the fact that Mei deserves to be with someone who could truly love her too.Sure Nian would have benifited…
It's a vicious cycle. They are people with a strong conscience dealing with a terrible fate.
Can Xun really move on knowing that Tian was still moaning his death? If she stopped coming to his grave at least, perhaps yes. But she didn't. And from Tian's side, she blames herself for Xun's death (he ended up in jail / expelled protecting her). So Tian too in good conscience cannot move on. They should have but it's in their nature unfortunately 🥲
If it helps, Nian doesn't look like she was disadvantaged by not having a mother and Mei probably was better off being with someone who truly cared about her (at least I hope so🤞).
Regarding episode 9: Employments contracts with no base salary are a recipe for exploitation. The fact that Yullim's…
The point of the restructure is to weed out the dead weight they can't simply fire (considering most of them came through client connections). Yullim will probably change the policy back/ make it more fair once things settle.
Ep 8Xun doesn't give himself a second chance and lived his life with regret which is visible no matter how much…
I think it's the fact that Mei deserves to be with someone who could truly love her too.
Sure Nian would have benifited but it isn't really fair for Mei in the long run either since she obviously liked Xun. Her offer wasn't because she only loved Nian.
Eventually that love could grow into recentment since Xun would never let go of Tian knowing that it's his fault that she keeps coming back to an empty grave every year.
Also, did they ever mention why Tian's marriage fall apart? I've been trying to find that episode but I couldn't. For now logically i believe one reason could have been because she too couldn't completely let go of the past between her mum's unsolved case and her not being able to let go of Xun (i mean how can she when he sacrificed his chance to change to protect her?). Not saying the ex husband must have been perfect but living in the past can hinder your present too.
Can someone please type in the entire storyline for me.? Please ,, Im scared and don’t want to be traumatised…
It's hard to watch at times, but it has a happy ending for the ML and FL.
That being said, do not get attached to the 2026 SFL (ML's adopted daughter) and SML(FL's son) since this drama didn't get the usual C-drama timetravel censorship treatment. Changing the past events in 1991 impacted 2026's current timeline in the end.
Damn and just like that chengs existence was wiped out and I’m glad. He never gave a damn about his mom anyways
We do not know his side of their story so we can't judge him.
The fact that Tiang never missed Xun's birthday even 30 years later probably came at a cost.
Living in the past = part of you will not be able to truly dedicate yourself to the present. It sucks that the mum and son were separated for so long but as most chinese dramas with this thrope have shown, usually there's more to the story than what's visible.
Yes, he could have reached out to her more once he was an adult but again we do not know what happened. The fact that he was willing to continue with the letters knowing the consequences should at least count for something.🙊
It's time travel, which is banned in China. So there's always a last minute "censorship ending", which…
Heyyyy....thanks for letting me know!!!!
This makes sense since most of the complaints i saw were about the ML she ended up with (but interestingly enough none of them mentioned about the novel).
Now that we know the ending we can try not to fall for any of the other MLs i guess🤭
So are they now a couple, any romance between them? I'll only watch if there's romance.
There are 2 couples technically.
The main couple's relationship status at the moment does not have an official title yet BUT it's obvious the FL has a crush on him and the ML definitely trusts her and has a soft spot for her. Their emotional intimacy is on fire but it's still not clear if the drama will give them a full on romance or give them an open ending.
The second couple likes eachother but the SFL is currently resisting her feelings because she thinks she is too old for him (age gap is probably 7-11 years may be but it's not noticable at all). It's obvious they'll be an official couple soon. They've already had their 🔥🔥🔥 moments in ep 10. SML can be abit too pushy and clingy at times for a 30+ man but I guess that's their dynamic since they've been besties for years🙈
If your main motivation is 🔥🔥🔥 romance but you don't like slow burn romances, this might not work for you but you never know- even I was looking forwardnto romance at first but I'm really enjoying their dynamic and how smoothly their connection has been developing overtime. The cases are interesting too.
People can really be hypocrite. I see some folks who have issues with age difference between leads in Bon Appetite…
Honestly neither couple should be getting any criticism. The older FL and ML from both dramas match the character ages they are meant to play and the younger ML and FL are literally adults - have been legal adults for years in fact (both in the drama and real life).
Some viewers are just too bored for their own good🤦♀️

They are both amazing. I cannot see any trace of Lu's character from WDMTD either- so versatile🙊

In his POV, he's just breaking the school system and enjoying his final senior year...if only it stayed that way😅
