6. Drama journey was great compared to other years! Toward the end, I really got back into kdramas after a long slump.
7. Wish or plan for dramaland - Please get rid of this multiple seasons nonsense, leave that for the Americans!

I miss the days when c-dramas just had one season and could be 70+ episodes long without any breaks in airing. This American way of multiple seasons is just so annoying ):

In the webtoon, it was that Ji Hyuk’s dad remarried after his mom passed and had Hui Yeon with his second wife but I don’t think they ever advertised their children hence why both are able to work in U&K anonymously.

I loved it in the webtoon and I loved watching it come to life in episode 3 - I adore a good makeover montage! Plus watching Su Min’s fakeness be exposed, so satisfying. Can’t wait for the next episode when Ji Hyuk’s glasses come off :D

Because they can take them off after a makeover montage and automatically be beautiful! 😂

Na In Woo is perfectly cast as Ji Hyuk, especially the broad shoulders and the height (188.6cm!!!!). I do think the hairstyle should have been a bit shorter though. Can’t wait for him and Ji Won to ditch the glasses!

(Disclaimer: I am not a glasses hater, I myself wear them. It’s just some people can pull them off and I feel like they intentionally used ugly glasses for them to emphasize their later glow up à la Clark Kent)

Actually, everyone is really well cast. The actress playing Su Min has her mannerisms down even if I don’t think she’s as cutesy as she is in the webtoon.

Ew, I forgot how disgusting Park Min Hwan was.

I read the webtoon a while ago but I don’t remember Ji Hyuk being everywhere to save her! Makes the plot a lot more predictable but I don’t really mind because I’m just so glad to see this being made into a drama. Also, one of my favourite chapters is the cat special with Pang’s thoughts. It’s a long shot that they’d include it but how cute would that be?

This was so good but it felt very rushed, like scenes were cut and lots happened that wasn’t shown. I do wish I could’ve seen more of the villains being punished but I guess there’s only so much they can show in 8 episodes.

I didn’t think I’d get so hooked but I definitely was in for the ride! Second male lead syndrome mostly due to a charming dimpled smile :) very nice ending too.

So tempted to start but I’ve just ended my obsession with SOKP, I don’t want another one just yet! Although it does air every day so the torture of waiting for episodes would be less…

After that perfection of an ending, how is it anything BUT a 10/10?!
I thought that Till the End of the Moon and Lost You Forever were going to be my favourite of the year but this one came outta nowhere and surpassed them.

@LanLan, I swear my undying love to you. Thank you!

My goodness, I am HOOKED. I haven’t seen a morally grey male lead like Xie Wei in a while and it’s working for me! So since the end date is Tuesday 28th, does that mean we get episodes every day including Monday and Tuesday now that it’s finishing? Tell me yes please and I’ll love you forever. ;D

I come here every day just to look at how many hours left until the next episode 😅

Someone wake me up when there are new episodes, I can’t exist in this world without them right now

Such terrible doctors on this drug trial, it makes me sick to see it.

Oh my! I’m blushing. Can’t wait 🫣 any idea what episode that might be?

But he’s Ding Fei right? Wouldn’t that make him 27? 7 years old when he substituted for the crown prince which was 20 years ago during the Lord Pingan rebellion.
(I know nothing apart from what I’ve seen up to episode 9 so I could be wrong!)

Haha yes, it is! Was slightly obsessed (very) with him when he was in The Heirs.
