Are you disabled? Because if you're not, you don't have an understanding of how this specific type of trauma works. Also, they talk about what happened afterward - which is how good communication works and people are able to heal.

But they could easily pay off the media and prevent the scandal? Large companies (including in China) do that all the time. Especially if they have friends in government / are ranking members of the CCP (which is not uncommon).
Why would the Board care about their company using dodgy methods to acquire land. This method is used across the world by corporations and big companies (including China). The Board would only usually care if they were being sued or if there was a big media scandal or if there was a government inquiry. But these are only usually possible if the people involved are more powerful than the company itself.

I have to say that one of the things I have enjoyed about this show is that face expressions and flaws are back! No more AI post-production where skin becomes pore-less and everything feels coated in plastic and fairy dust. Back to actually seeing real acting with all the imperfections that make a show good.
are they in school or college? I presumed college because she would have to be 20 to get married, but the setting is more like school with the classes instead of lectures.
Couldn't finish the article, but seriously, are people so jobless? Where do they get the time for all this?
I think a lot of people have emotional issues and tough lives and end up funneling this into fan wars. The truth is the industry love this and exploit the fans too because it basically means the actors get more publicity, and their companies get more money through various avenues. It's part of a system of entertainment that is sick, and this article on MDL is evidence of that.
Is it just me or is this show really classist? (More in spoiler below)
Rich girl likes poor boy but poor boy doesn't feel good enough. Rich girl rubs it in by giving him money which humiliates him. Poor boy's childhood friend uses that tension to manipulate poor boy. Rich girl doesn't understand any of this because she is incredibly privileged (hence her confidence in pursuing poor boy). And all of this because poor girl feels (rightly) challenged by rich girl because rich girl can get away with whatever she wants.
Rich girl - after feeling heartbreak - runs away to Europe while poor boy immediately has to get a job and earn his way up. She doesn't seem to understand WHY the poor boy might feel not her equal.
Rich boy also has privilege which allows him to actually speak to her as equals despite being her boss. He wins her over by spending money on her and using his privilege to support her (none of which poor boy has). And of course, she ends up with rich boy.
At no point is rich girl made to fully recognise or acknowledge how her privilege basically opens whatever doors she wants. Instead she does not disclose who she is to her company because she wants to avoid dealing with the discomfort of her privilege.
I'm not saying she doesn't have any challenges - she does, and they are painful. But her upper class background makes it so much easier for her to navigate her life and get to positions of power.
I just really feel for poor boy because while he makes a lot of mistakes, so much of it is about his position and lack of money and power which the main leads take for granted.
I started off enjoying the concept of this drama and esp because I like the female lead. Then early in the series,…
I can't comment on what you call "queerbaiting" as I haven't seen the show yet, but you know bi people exist, right? A person can like people of any gender and that's perfectly valid.
Hm, I guess it's just a plot device.
