It is well said . I felt that mai and le don't have a future together and their personalities don't match . Le is kind of guy who would change her life prospective but his existence is temporary . For that woman and the child , I think it was like reconciling with younger self in order to move .
My only biggest complain is like you mentioned mai-le got fewer scenes by the end of the drama, which made me personally unable to digest their happy ending because I felt they needed more communication and mutual understanding .

It was a summer vacation vibe drama and It made me travel virtually to Macau. The cinematography made falling in love with the city and the people .
The love stories were different because each character has a different past and unique trauma . I enjoyed their encounters and their feelings' development , however , I felt it would be more realistic if we had a different ending especially for Mai story because Xu Jun Le is not the ideal guy to plan a future with and he is yolo type .
I noticed that there was a potential love line between Mai and Elvis but it was portrayed as they were not meant to each other.
I highly recommend this drama for those who want to watch a beautiful city filled with the warmth of the local and of the family of XJL.

hopefully , another universe where ML doesn't become a king

It is an intriguing dark historical drama . I bet the king had never lover her but he wanted to use her for the crown . FL is away smarter than ML , which was belittled by his own father, as a result , he developed inferiority complex and to feed his complex , he slept around with FL trusted people .
I'm not looking into their romance , but the downfall of ML because he is a trash.

yeah , wishing for the best outcomes

You're right about the break

me too , I hope they come to an agreement and they resume the drama shooting with both MTY and LMD

MTY has been in the industry for two decades and he had many hit dramas . He spoke about himself struggling with depression , which affected him badly and he said it was due to his childhood trauma ;His mother committed a sui*cide .

He wants to retire from the industry .

If what LMD said is right , I believe the drama crew took in consideration MTY mental health , that's why they gave him special treatment , not because of being ML.
So , either way LMD did himself wrong , hopefully , he doesn't end up being blacklisted because he is still an inspiring rookie actor.

I understand you and I agree with you. I wish to see drama about people in their 40s or 50s falling in love without the cheating plot

he's temporary secretary for 6 months and he used to be a manager in a big company so he is mature and responsible

I think they're in late thirty - early forty and they're mature comparing to other ceo-assistant stories

It was a simple funny drama ,but it doesn't represent reality because there is no way that someone talentless with no desire to work would survive in the workplace . Nowadays even talented and hardworking would be fired due to highly competitive working environment .

thank you

thank you so much for your explanation

Who are the main couples ? I mean who ends up with who

I'm starting this drama and I would like to know the couples :
Chen Jia Hui with Xu Jun Le or Han Jun Hao , the same for Mai You Ge ?

From her opinion , it is her way to repay the chairwoman for saving her son

I understand you . Personally , I avoid watching any drama, which would disturb my inner peace because I watch drama just for fun , not to carry extra burden

In Japan , sleeping with prostitute is not considerate as cheating , I discovered this information via asiaboss . I think it's culturally related to the historical time when the Gisaeng exited and it's extension the escort services . Honestly , I don't understand deeply this phenomena .
