It’s sad that some viewers are putting this drama down and rating it unfavorably. It’s such a nice series. The show is more for a mature audience, and by mature, I don’t mean older in age but viewers who are more worldly, sophisticated, and have experienced different phases of life.
Romance is not all about kisses, skin-ship, and the obvious verbal “I Love You”. Some viewers claimed there’s no romance in this drama, but to me, it’s just the right amount weaved into the story. The nuance of adoration is there between the leads. Their love may not be overtly angsty, but there’s plenty of tension and attraction.
I totally enjoy this drama. It’s one of my favorites so far this year.
Been waiting for this series to air!! I simply can’t wait and just hope that it’s going to be great! I just love Joseph and Baron, and I don’t want this to be a disappointment, especially for Joseph since his last few projects haven’t been stellar.
It’s a slow burn filmmaking style in which the scenes develop slowly, as if in a real world. Some people may…
@JulesL As with you, I agree the reason makes sense as to why NM decided to give SML a go when he asked her to be his gf. She understands everyone needs a chance, just as SHE needed to be given a chance to be an investor; not to mention, he was her former crush.
It’s a slow burn filmmaking style in which the scenes develop slowly, as if in a real world. Some people may not enjoy this type of storytelling because it seems like nothing is happening. But if it’s well directed, as it is in this case, it’s explosive and very satisfying.
I still can’t get over the ending scene of ep 27.
From the scene where NM saw her lemon in LJM's take away box, the viewers are given a glimpse of what she actually meant to him. LJM left all professional awards but kept a silly toy that belonged to her. The director reveals this “truth” to us so subtly, but loaded with the knowledge of how important she was to him.
ML was feeling so defeated and beaten with all mishaps coming down on him that he finally caved in and just had to hug FL for comfort and support in a moment of emotional pain. In life, at the lowest point, you just wanted to be with the one you love the most and that sometimes their presence alone can alleviate your suffering. That’s what the director is showing us at the last few seconds of ep 27.
So heartwarming and poignant. How could we not love this?
And they zoomed out to show how big the movie screen was… was hilarious!,
It was also to show that the guy was not really blocking the screen because he was more off to the side than the front, which of course, is why the incident is so much funnier. 😃
is the feeling somehow same in One Spring Night?i haven't watched it yet ,has it in my ptw list
To me, One Spring Night is veeeeryyy good. It’s a 10 for me. But everyone is different. I have 10’s that I don’t rewatch, but One Spring Night is a show that I would go back to view random clips.
Just finished ep 16. I’m really loving this drama. It has that heartwarming feeling and I just love how the guitar plucking sound effects are paired nicely with some scenes, mellow and soothing. The slow burn romance is done just right. It reminds me of one of my favorite kdramas “One Spring Night” although there’s nothing similar in term of theme or storyline, but the feeling the director is able to draw out of me.
I read your line too quick and thought you said professional ‘bronzer’. I was like “ she does her own make up for the show? I don’t notice bronzing, but her eyebrows are dusted a shade or two too light, and looked strange at times.” 🤪
Funny bit in episode 19. To keep FL’s character in line as a gourmand, she appeared on the scene eating a pear…
@Cece That's why I feel Zhao Lusi is great for the role. She's known for her comical antics. That's her brand. Her role as BFX is different, more serious, so it's still refreshing to see a glimpse of her "brand" tossed in here and there in WRTW.
Funny bit in episode 19. To keep FL’s character in line as a gourmand, she appeared on the scene eating a pear while spotting ML by a clay doll stand at the street market. As she didn’t want to waste a good pear, but had to appear presentable, she tucked what was left of the pear into her waist belt while approaching ML, with the pear openly visible. Hahaha, what a sight!

I'm so looking forward to seeing how he will win NM's heart because now that she's committed to someone else.
I’m at ep 15 and love is certainly in the air now.
