I would like to know which melo drama you are talking about.. have watched enough fluff for now, would like to…
I so can empathise. Nice to share. Even though I'm now more experienced and wiser in what I choose to watch there are still emotional hits we take. I love a historical drama and the trailer visuals of The Red Sleeve looked lovely. I knew it was a sad tale but thought I could just drop out. Too late ...was hooked after first episode and with trepidation watched the rest with boxes of tissues. tea jerker was an understatement.I deliberated whether to watch the last episode as viewers were given option to stop at 16 and have a HEA or watch 17 for the reality. Mistake,watched last episode at night and next morning woke up literally feeling depressed. This year I purposefully watched Law Cafe to see Lee Se-young ALIVE and HAPPY as compensation. I really needed to see that!

Yes, I agree with your sentiments about the unexpected consequences of mismatched expectations. I shall always remember how I clicked onto Marriage Contract thinking this was going to be a fun K drama Rom Com - I mean look at the title AND I hadn't found out about MDL or searching for reviews first. OMG, I just sobbed throughout - heart wrenching and no one told me one of the Leads was going to DIE. Was waiting for the HEA.....learnt my lesson from then on.
The usual set up of Zhao Qian Qian 's shows are that English/Lit/Humanities student of some sort, really interested…
Enjoyed your observations on the embedded subtlety of the character reveals. I have watched a number of rom coms and they have written "quiet" twists in the plot - not "in your face" actions but revelations. Why revenge when you can move forward in your own life with respect for yourself.
ML is like a breath of fresh air among so many male chauvinists in most of the dramas. He has a very positive…
Totally agree with your comments. ML is warm and charming...when was the last time we saw any ML in a modern romance like that? Hes a really likeable character is JZ and I'm really enjoying this series whereas I've given up after a few episodes on so many. These types of dramas should entertain us as an escape from real world ( not fantasy) so please more like these...should anyone be paying attention to Int viewers.
Finally, Wan Wan is becoming braver. Thank goodness she has such a good friend like Gu Qiao and our dorkable ML…
I've seen a lot of youth romance drama...probably too many... and I was surprised at the choice to play GA - normally even while they have undesirable personality traits and bad behaviours - this is the first time I fail to see any physical attractiveness of the wannabe girlfriend. I'm not sure what the casting decision was about...anyhow only imo and makes its easier to dismiss her.
I may have missed something in the translation but is JDJ has a different biological grandmother in the story as alluded to in Ep 8? That is Grandaddy had an affair and JDJ father is the result of that....is this right and who else knows?
Li Xun is not toxic. But quite a porcupine type. He just wants to be left alone to do his things and not depend…
As a Mum of a daughter who has experienced depression,anxiety and victimisation trying to find her own way in life and to be authentic to herself you've written an excellent response. You've understood the complexities of a relationship and the environmental factors and impacts. Thanks!
I am surprised that nobody has said it yet.The story is interesting, but not out of ordinary. To me is clear:…
Well said. The visuals and casting of the leads cement this story into the C Ent stratosphere. LX charisma is self evident and jumping out of the screens into viewers hearts. He is a star in the making. ZY has that innocent fragility she portrays well though her strengths could be overshadowed by CFY/LX star qualities.
