I've been looking forward to this since last year. It just started airing and y'all got so much to say already.…
I've watched two of her dramas fully before, and have one of her future dramas on my "Planning to watch"- list. Everyone has some actress or actor they just for some reason do not like. I guess it's called chemistry or something, someone I feel a chemistry with and someone I don't. I personally don't really like Ren Min, but it's just my preference, and I still watch her dramas and give her a chance unlike people who don't even watch someone's drama and still make a comment as if they knew what they are talking about. There's no point in getting upset with people who do not like some actor or actress that you love. Countless times I absolutely loved an actor or actress or some drama or movie and saw other people making negative comments and say they hated them or it. I learned pretty fast to just overlook it. It's because we are all different and couldn't possibly all like the same thing: we like different foods, different hobbies, different music and art, fall in love with different kinds of people. Just accept. You'll feel better if you just ignore haters. Spare yourself the trouble of trying to correct them. Not everybody needs to be the same. Just enjoy your favorite. Clearly there are people who like her acting, otherwise she wouldn't keep getting more roles, right? As long as you support her, it's enough. Others might think differently, but it's okay, as long as they don't go too far and start behaving in a malicious way, that's not cool. There should at least be some kind of respect towards other people's different opinions, I disagree with bashers and haters because the moment they start behaving nasty, in my opinion, they lose their right to have their voices be heard. People will never agree when it comes to their taste or liking etc, but they should at least have some manners. Sorry if your favorite is getting hate here on MDL or some other sites. Just enjoy the drama anyway!
The Double did this "daughter accused as a child of hurting the pregnant favorite wife of the father and sent away for years and returns and is still mistreated by the father and his cunning favorite wife" already, just some months ago, and The Double did it really well, so that's a huge disadvantage for this drama. The timing of the release of the drama is not very good since there's now unavoidably comparison with The Double which was a huge hit drama. Hopefully I can get over it, but I keep remembering everything from The Double, even the nasty sister is there, and the FL's loyal maid servants, and the grandma who is frustrated with her son and dotes on her granddaughter, and the FL is smart and brave like in The Double... Finding it hard to get into this story. Wish there would have been enough time between the release of these two dramas, or that the directors wouldn't make dramas that are so similar to each other at the same time. Maybe later the drama will be different from The Double, enough to make me get over this and be able to keep watching it...
If anybody is watching through Rakuten Viki, I added some comments, you can just turn the comments on and they will appear on the upper left corner while you watch. Some information for viewers who know nothing about Finland and Helsinki, where some of the scenes were filmed. I saw them filming here last year and met Wu Lei super briefly, didn't say anything to him, just passed by because he was working and I didn't want to disturb him. Saw also Dong Zi Fan while he was filming, and Zhao Jin Mai from behind in their hotel lobby. It makes me emotional to remember them when they were here, so I'm crying while I'm watching scenes nobody else would cry about. The first episode got me super emotional because there's a super short scene where I was present as it was filmed, I just can't be seen on the camera, I'm hiding away on the second floor watching them filming it.
I am wondering if I should watch this. Don't know nothing about this drama, but the trailer and description felt like a mixture of Squid Game and Saw to me... but apparently not quite so bloody.
