FL's pseudo-father and ex-husband are seemingly the classic virtuous and capable men, but failed the deceased daughter and ex-wife miserably.

ep 11. LOL when Li Second Son fainted after the competition. Hahahah

ep 9, the way FL's maid's eyes darted left and right in worry when FL pled her case to her father over the bet. The maid was obviously thinking if the act was going to work.

I’ve seen it before on a smaller scale such as forehead and tips of the eyes or eyelids. Definitely not large arcs on the cheeks and neither on so many women at an event.

FL has such a good poker face.

Ep 5, it's a first in cdrama-land to see a totally new make-up look with the pearl studded cheeks. I have to say it's rather refreshing; but on some ladies, it looks like gills. =)

I like how ML's eyes are accentuated with eyeliner. It gives him a sharp look and fits his role.

Wang Qi Nian' wife is epic! Her interactions with her husband and ML are hilariously scary. I really enjoy her characterization.

This one is truly sad. I came in with an open mind without any expection and just follow the director's lead. With 10 short episodes, it's intruded my thoughts more than most dramas I've watched recently. JBR did a wonderful job here, and not bad either with the director. It's an awakening experience because it makes you reflect on making the right choices and weigh the consequences.

I've watched 5 of his other works. It's the same voice as in here. Pretty sure it's his own voice.

He Shan explained why FK picked those three people as targets. It's because they took or tried to take advantage of him.

Yes, it's worth the watch. It actually makes me think and feel...whether it's a good feeling or not, that's a different story. There are certain circumstantial situations that question proper judgements and ethics.

What would you have done if you where ML? Would you have called the authority on Qian in ep 9? Yes, you would.

There are comments about ML making poor choices. Sometimes, there aren't good options to choose. Choice 1, get burned. Choice 2, get drowned. Choice 3, get shot.

ep. 9. So, who do you think ratted him out for taking the exam? Could it still be He Shan? So far, it seems like she hasn't done anything wrong. Could her image truly me that clean? What if she DID rat him out the first time which ruined his chance to have an education, and that's why she didn't want to rat him out the second time? Why did she report him the first time? Maybe so that he would lose his spot at the university, and she would get that spot instead? Hmmm...only 1 more ep. How would the finale be? I hope there's a good closure.

It's posted under the Details section. 7/6 - 8/25.

Wow!! we have confirmed date of July 6th?!?!?! So happy!!!! I love JHI so much that if I could only choose ONE show to watch for the entire 2024, it would be this show.

Because she knows about his two identities/names. In a medical emergency, do you give the real or fake name?

Neither

Each episode is so packed. Ep 8, the 0 point scene reveal is so good when EVERYONE except the father knows the true meaning of it all.

We also got a glimpse of seeing ML's bad side when he was out to mess things up for people he disliked; e.g., when he scratched out his brother's name on the test. The director did a great job in setting up the ominous tone.

I would have felt bad for the half brother and step mother, but after seeing the disposable plastic bowl and cup ML was using when he'd lived there for several years already, I have no sympathy for them.

LOVE the wild, wild west duel music chosen for the scene when the teacher and FL met the restaurant as she excused herself and walked out. It was very fitting as they draw duel it out. I've always liked the bgm's and scores used by this director.
