I didn’t finish Love and Redemption because I couldn’t handle how much suffering the male lead went through. I’m getting similar vibes here - should I just quit now?

Actually, now that you’ve said that, come to think of it, the YAMG couple didn’t have a child, though they did talk of having children.
Ah, well! A child isn’t necessary for a happy ending, I know, but it just seems like a cherry on top :)

I liked it but they really couldn’t give us a baby in the end? Always gives me heartwarming feelings when there’s a kiddo to carry on their legacy! Especially when Pu’er died and Lanxi only has ten years. Would have been a happier ending but I suppose seeing them together is really all I needed.

Also I don’t know if it’s just the effect of having seen You Are My Glory earlier this year but I just don’t get that deep love vibe from Yang Yang here like I did in YAMG. Only felt a friend vibe all the way between them. Maybe it’s just me.

I would happily drown in this man’s voice.

I was skeptical about watching this drama as I’m usually a hardcore romance kind of girl but this was super heartwarming to watch everyone’s journeys and see them overcoming their struggles. Also very satisfying when the villains get their due punishments. So glad I watched it. 9/10 from me!
Whoever styled Lee Soo Hyuk deserves a raise.

I’ve been intrigued by some YouTube videos of Joong Gil and Goo Ryun and really want to see how it plays out.
Do you think it’s worth watching the entire drama?

(I’m a big sucker for Lee Soo Hyuk)

I liked it! Darren Chen’s character was despicable; never thought that pretty face could be so terrible.

It’s a comparison that also struck me when watching Squid Game, particularly as it’s our generation who watched The Hunger Games with morbid fascination and now watching a similar story as adults.

What’s particularly chilling about THG is the age range used. In Squid Game, they’re all adults and arguably in a situation of their own creation for some (gambling debts, fraud etc). In The Hunger Games, they’re kids and it’s essentially a punishment for something that happened before they were even born but have to suffer for.

Great article and something I’m glad we’re talking about. I know BoF is nostalgic but man, GJP still makes me cringe to this day.

Thai lakorns are in an entire genre of themselves and seem to completely ignore the idea of consent…or of non-toxic relationships.

I think this is the perfect way of describing my feelings about this topic…

Watched Liar x Liar after reading this article - kept me entertained for the last two hours, thank you for the recommendation!

I can’t lie - it definitely kept me entertained for two hours.

Much like everyone else here it seems, I like it but am weirded out by the step sibling love. However, the good thing is they didn’t do much until they came clean to each other. If they had kissed or went further while still under the “Mina” pretense, I’d have been much more eked out.

Also, I don’t know if all parents, friends and (technically spurned) exes would be this accepting but the post credits scenes were adorable and a nice touch to finish on. Unsurprisingly, my heart aches for the second male lead; they just had so much chemistry.
8/10 from me!

Loved their chemistry! Kept the entire drama going for me. Only complaint is I wanted to see a baby by the end.

I would have never watched this if it weren’t for the hype. High quality and definitely well produced with a great cast who I’m thrilled are being recognized for their talents. Not really my cup of tea but a good drama.

It’s been a while since I found an engaging historical k-drama (I think the last one I enjoyed was Queen For Seven Days) and I’m so happy with this one! The eyes are *chef’s kiss* and Kim Yoo Jung is a joy to watch on screen.

I loved it! I was not interested at all when this first came out but they won me over! Such a superb drama.

Enjoyed it but as always wish we had some family time :)

I enjoyed it but the ending was a bit lackluster. I’m the type to like my endings wrapped in a nice bow of marriage with a couple of kids, lol.

I want to finish this drama but I feel unmotivated. I’ve only seen 18 episodes and Si Feng has already suffered too damn much.

I enjoyed Ban Hua for the kickass protagonist. That being said, there was only so many shenanigans I can handle repeating themselves over and over again so I took a break around episode 29 and then powered through the rest of them. I like Shi Jin, he deserved a better ending.
