He just wanted to prove himself in a very toxic culture unfortunately.

Agreed. I completely rooted for the FL's choice and how she stood up for herself. I would be pissed if she didn't because it would just send a wrong message for those are actually suffering, It's just my wishful thinking in an imaginary perfect world honestly.

so far the subbed are only till eps 22

A good slice of life and feminism in historical drama.

Haven't' watched any of Wang Yibo's works but he definitely did a good job in acting here. Looking forard to his projects. Aside from him, everyone were such good actors/actresses.

I'm glad he took a risk on a more diverse role.

Definitely doesn’t deserve the low rating (7.7 when I wrote this). For me, it’s closer to an 8.2. The actors are excellent, and this drama beautifully explores how love, marriage, and human relationships are incredibly complex. I found all the characters relatable in their own way. At times, I wished the male lead would change, and the female lead would stay, but when I think about it, that’s really toxic, isn’t it? This is a very mature drama that provides a lot of insight into real-life relationships. Highly recommended for those who are looking for mature dramas w great acting ofc.

I love the lighting in the drama - giving moody vibes. Gave a 8.0 because I feel the drama is too long for this kind of story. This story could end in 16 max 20 eps.

I usually avoid Chinese historical drama because I can't stand the cringeness and the cgi. Gave this drama a chance due to the high rating and bio that intrigued me. I loved it! No CGI, smart and strong female lead, ML that is rational and doesn't always save the FL, good actors especially the ex. Highly recommend it!

Gave a 9.0 due to the rushed ending and for that one CGI scene. (told ya I hate CGI).

It was good for the first half till episode 12. Then it got boring.
Great acting from the stars tho.

Loved the twist in your comment!

Guess the advertisement on this show works xD

I was thinking the same thing. How come a live-in tutor can hold that much power. And where did the mom go? Clearly the dad missed the mom, and he doesn't look like a bad guy.

oh crap, guess ill be waiting till it's finished

did you not read lollll wkowkow

agreed. I had to overlook the whole plot just to see the chemistry between the leads. Worth it tho

can't wait for this drama to reach 2x episodes so I can start binging them

Yes, I got hyped it from my friends - still can't get pass the age gap between the leads. That's just my opinion tho xD

I can see the appeal of this drama, just not for me. Too chill LOL
