As a Filipino myself, I am proud of this series, I highly recommend it, especially for romance/history enthusiasts! This drama was adapted from the historical/romantic novels written by our national hero here in Philippines, Jose Rizal, during the 1800s. The cast and crew all did a great job, the series exactly copied the 1800s period, from costume to location. It's like a time machine bringing you to that era. The life of Jose Rizal, his works, and his love for our beloved country Philippines are taught in our history subject, from grade school, high school to college. I reminisce those times being a student before. I watched the 1st episode, and I am very impressed, I can only say good things about this drama, I hope it gets subbed for international viewers.

Namaste! 🙏 Nice to know that we're same ☺️

Me too, because of watching many Chinese & Taiwanese dramas, I also get to learn few basic Mandarin words or phrases, we will get used to it if we converse with the language everytime. As for Filipino dramas, there are few good ones, like the new series "Maria Clara and Ibarra" which is a romantic novel written by our national hero Jose Rizal back in 1800s, I can say it's good because it's like a time machine going back in the 1800s from costume to location, but I am not really interested with Philippine titles.

By searching the drama in Google, one of my techniques is copying the native Chinese characters of the title, I do that just so that I can confirm if there are only raw videos available. Ex. "lesson in love eng sub" / "第9節課" / "第9節課 eng sub". Before, in year 2000s, there are many Taiwanese titles with English subtitles, especially uploaded in mysoju.com before, but sadly those websites were closed and also those videos were unavailable now. I try to finish remaining Taiwanese dramas with English subtitles before they might be removed. Unfortunately, I am not fluent in Mandarin / Chinese language, but I will plan to study the language in the future. I am from Philippines but don't watch my own country's dramas.

True, it's also an excellent drama, glad to know you liked it! ☺️

Impressively written article! ❤️ I only watch Taiwan dramas for now, so I haven't watch any 2022 dramas yet, since I still have a long 'Plan to watch' list. It's not surprising that the top Taiwan drama is 'About Youth', since Taiwan is known for top quality BL content. I find it interesting to know some titles from other countries as well. My goal this 2023 is to finish watching all Taiwan dramas on my 'Plan to watch' list as much as I can. Thank you MDL, and keep up the good work, daebak! 👍

Before watching this drama, I didn't know who Park Jung Min is (the main Korean lead actor). But after searching him and also after watching this drama, I am now officially his fan and also a fan of his band SS501! Yes, he is one of the members of Kpop group SS501, so he's bandmates with Kim Hyun Joong, whose group got famous for their songs like "Because You're Stupid", from the top Korean drama "Boys Over Flowers". He is so cute and talented in singing & acting! As of now (2023), the last update I saw about him is he's focused more on his music career and he updates his IG account. I was able to catch a glimpse of him on Youtube, guesting on Dara's show, "Video Star", he looks and sounds great! He's also among the list of singers who temporarily tried acting, like Taiwan's Hebe Tien, Evan Yo, Jolin Tsai, and many more. This drama is overloaded with sweetness of the couples and cakes! There's also values we can get about family, relationships, friendship & determination. It's a worthy watch!

Dec.22,2022: I downloaded VPN just only to watch it, since its not available in Philippines, it worked, thank God, I'm so happy! I will do my best to completely finish watching this! ☺️❤️

KBS World TV Youtube hid the remaining episodes, error says "The uploader has not made this video available in your country" 😭😭😭 WTF.. I still need to watch 27 episodes left!! 💔

Trivia: The actor who plays as Mi Li's younger brother, Ai Wei Li (Ou Yang Lun), & the actress who plays Sun Jing Ming's ex girlfriend, Lin Zi Min (Phoebe Lin), are a real-life couple. They have one daughter.

It's an interesting story about a woman who picked up a bottle from the ocean, then inside of it has a paper with 5 missions written, how she accomplished each of them & helped resolve her life issues.

Not bad, way to go MDL peeps, get those creative juices flowing! ❤️

I'm now watching the 1st season of 2 Days 1 Night, I've witnessed how humble and hardworking Lee Seung Gi is. I feel saddened for him, that the agency he worked with for a long time will betray and take advantage of his kindness. Hook Agency's CEO had the audacity to manipulate for her own interest, she's very selfish, but she can't beat the number of supporters Lee Seung Gi has. It must be hard for him, I hope he survives this issue, he always stays healthy and wish him happiness and success in life. ❤️

I did not regret watching the special edition of this well-loved BL series. Although the scenes were pretty much the same as the original one, this one is also a good watch, which reminisces me of the characters, and the drama is just short anyway. Thanks to MDL user @mikimika10's review, I was guided by the new added scenes on this special edition. :)

Thank you so much for this fun article about Rainie! She is a very talented and beautiful multi-talented star. She is currently active in music and tv shows in China. I always look forward on her acting projects! ❤️

Nov.19,2022: Congratulations on his Best Supporting Actor award in Golden Horse Awards for the movie 'Bad Education'! ❤️

The story of this couple is a heartwarming one. By the way, Yu Zhen Xuan is a good dancer!

The couples and their stories were so good and well-acted by some of the finest actors ever.

So hilarious!!! XD I find myself always cracking up in each episode! Each character stood out, especially Baby Ji. Enjoyable!
