FL is so pretty! Her cheeks are so cute too.

Yes. He’s a fine one to talk when he ruined his own family. I’m glad FL is smart enough to never really trust his judgement. She and ML just do as they please haha. I love it! I really dislike the dad. I loved when ML dropped that line about the dad when he was reading her diary.

It’s only me... I’m sorry to drop this really nice story, but the FL’s acting just doesn’t do it for me. Sad*

I agree. He’s not ML material here. I wish he had a more turbulent character and more of a character development in terms of his father. The ML’s character shines above him lol.

She wears other dresses, it’s just the pink one is the most frequent. Also, as an actress, she won’t have so much money either. It’s not like being a famous actress now. Actresses back then would have depended on rich patrons. Gu Yue Shaung doesn’t seem to be that kind. She also may have worked to give money to the Tan army previously. We don’t know. But she must not be so rich.

Wether or not he pulled the trigger or financed others who did it, ML shouldn't blame FL. Her father barely cared about her. I question if he ever did. The ML knows this. During the 10 year separation, not even her memory existed to her father.

No, I read that novel. It's nowhere near as good.

I don't know about the actress Gu Yue, but our FL isn't so much of a rich girl. Her father is rich, but all the money is controlled by the stepmother. She lives off of them, and I'm pretty sure the stepmother does't give her much money if any. The stepmother also stole her mother's dowry, and the father doesn't care about Wan Qing. Our 'rich' heroine is actually penniless. The clothes she has would be whatever she brought with her from Japan, and she admitted that her life in Japan wasn't very good. Her sister has way more clothes.

Also, back in 1900s there weren't fast fashion stores. Clothes were expensive to buy and make. What you had, you had to take care of it.

Too bad. I would have loved to read this as a book. The drama and characters are so so lovely!

Does this drama have a novel?

The husband who cheats openly is worse than the husband who hides his cheating. The one who is open has entitlement and no respect for his wife’s mental health and public image. The one who hides at least acknowledges he’s doing something wrong and attempted to worry about his wife’s feelings for a while. In both cases heating is bad and both men are scum.

Thankfully both the ML and SML haven’t cheated. I fee like TXL would be afraid to cheat on his wife anyway.

So happy for her. Congratulations.

They're both at fault, but he's the one carrying the pot of blame.

Korean entertainment industry should Leave the man's private life alone. He didn't do anything illegal. The abortion wasn't even illegal. The woman also agreed to do it. She must not be very smart if she's blaming only him. She's only smart enough to publicly blame him at the peak of his career. Some men are toxic (he ain't no angel, clearly) but some women are too. Men need to be smarter about choosing women. Not only this man, but most men. Sad for him.

I couldn't get into the storyline, despite liking the ML actor a lot. I tried it just for him, but i just couldn't keep wasting my time. It was too boring fir me and I also found the creep mentioned above as too unnecessary.

I blamed the stylist, not her.

Episode 3 makes it seem like people don't respect other's marriages in Japan. Thats not this case. The show is dramatizing. And... I really dislike the other guy.

@soultoseoul I'm of a western background and have been living In Asia for some time. I completely get what you are saying. It's the exact truth that companies in Asia ask women questions in interviews like "do you have a boyfriend?" "Are you married?" "do you have children or are planning to have children?" "do you plan to take maternity leave when you have children." "When will you get married?" Etc. These kinds of questions won't fly in the west and companies could get into trouble asking it, so I see why @jonjees doesn't really believe you, or can't understand what perspective you're coming from. In some companies, some even sign contracts that they cannot get married or have a baby within a certain number of years (usually 2). If you want to keep your job, you have to renew that contract. If you want a family, you have to leave that job and then start over if you want a new job. It sounds crazy to a westerner, but it's reality in Asia. This is why women in Asia usually have part time jobs, or are teachers of some kind. If they want to have more like the woman in this series, they run into the problems she is running into.

It's not even a "to each his own" kind of thing either. It's simply different cultural dilemmas facing women in the workplace and in their families.

In Asia, women when they get married are expected to leave the job to raise the baby. The company hiring you don't want to waste time or money training you of you will up and leave. This is also heavily endorsed by boards and governments. An example is the medical school scandal in Japan in 2018-2019. When women wrote the medical exams to enter the school to become doctors, they were scored more strictly than their male counterparts so that they would largely fail, therefore not become doctors. The reason for this is because the medical board of that particular national institution thought it was a waste of time and money for women to become doctors since they will just get married and end up as housewives anyway. No one bothered to ask these women if they would really leave their jobs when they get married or pregnant. It's just assumed that women consistently do that because that is what a large part of the Asian women population has done in the past so now it's just expected.

This drama is to expose a small part of that, and to suggest a change more in line with what the modern woman wants, and how the family should adapt. Yes it's a drama, but remember, especially in Asia, art imitates life and life imitates art. Just look at all the Japanese manga, for example. It may seem like it's just fiction, but if you live in Japan, you'd soon realise that the life, scenery, behaviours, and culture is exactly the same. Just, of course, less axaggerated.

It should be a drama! But much shorter and cut out all the fillers please.

No thanks. It doesn't work in my country. A lot of Thai drama sites don't work in my country. Anyway, I lost interest in this show lol. I just like Mik.
