Is it serious or lighthearted?

That’s nice. I want to see more of their adulthood.

So, how is it? Is it actually living up to the hype? I’ve hyped it up so much in my head—I really don’t want to be let down.

Han Shang Yan of Go Go Squid?

Any idea how the screen time is split between their school years and adulthood?

Same here! I like modern dramas with 24 to 32 episodes too—as long as that’s what the director and screenwriter originally planned, and not because they had to cut it short due to legal or policy stuff, like what happened with Ski into Love.

It’s finally here!

I genuinely hope the TV adaptation captures Beru and Igris the way they deserve to be portrayed — with all the power, loyalty, and depth that made them unforgettable in the original.

Really? MAL is still showing 40 episodes.

Thanks for the details! Not every hero wears a cape—some simply carry ‘71’ in their name, quietly making a difference where it matters most.

I’d highly recommend New Life Begins. I absolutely loved it—it’s one of the few historical slice-of-life dramas, and a truly refreshing watch.

Hey fellow drama watchers—would this drama be a good fit for someone who loved The Rebel Princess and The Story of Ming Lan? Not sure if that says much about my taste, but figured I’d ask anyway!

Let’ssssss go!

Thanks for the info. I have already watched ‘Safe Skies, Archer’ and all other series of the same universe.

Thank you for the clarification. :)

So, should I watch it if I’m in search of a mature, deep romance story?

Doesn’t seem like it’s Tang to me—no sign of a huadian on the FL’s forehead in the photos.

She did an awesome job in The Litchi Road!

Ah, so she intends to seduce him just to break up with him, so he can feel the same pain his best friend or crush went through.

I can more or less predict the narrative arc: she seduces him, he resists for a while but eventually falls for her. They start dating, and somewhere along the way, she genuinely falls in love with him too. Then comes the inner turmoil—guilt begins to weigh on her as her original intentions haunt her. She plans to confess the truth, but before she can, he finds out on his own. They break up.

After a short timeskip, much like in Filipino dramas, they cross paths again. Old feelings resurface, the unresolved tension leads to a wave of angst, and eventually, they confront their emotions. Amid heartfelt confessions and forgiveness, they reconcile, get married, and finally share a genuinely happy life together.

Despite everything, I’m waiting for it to air. Haha.

The airing schedule is both frustrating and tantalising.
