Phenomenal acting and extraordinary characters.

I loved this drama and was absolutely hooked when I started watching it. Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi's acting is on another level! Such great chemistry! I've never seen such a perfectly executed enemies-to-lovers trope.The beginning was very funny and humorous, and it perfectly set up the enemies-to-lovers trope, with the female lead being especially funny. The constant updates on the male lead's favorability was downright hilarious and made for many comical scenes. The group's chemistry overall was adorable, and got even better when the bamboo shoot joined - I absolutely loved the Mu Yao and Fuyi scenes, but I can't believe they got more kissing scenes than the main leads! Even though there weren't many physically romantic scenes between the main leads, I could overlook it because of their chemistry itself. BUT don't get me started on that FASDJHFASK bracelet. I couldn't stand that sideplot.The only weakness in this drama (other than that dang bracelet) was the ending with its holes and lack of continuity. The ending was confusing because Ziqi ended up being the author Fu Zhou, but does that mean Fu Zhou was Ziqi the whole time and has his memories? Does Fu Zhou keep his memories of Ziqi in the real world? I had many more questions than this unanswered and had to go online to find an explanation that would work for me. I feel like the plot had a great direction but wasn't fully resolved at the end. And the fact that Miao Miao thinks it was all a dream and vaguely remembers Ziqi is AGHHHHHHH. And the fact that we don't see them reunite in the real world is ASJKDFJKDHFFJAKSDJFKJAK. I definitely think this drama could have used another episode to wrap up the ending. But nevertheless, despite the plot holes, the acting was still amazing with what they were given. I continue to rewatch the scene with Ziqi crying as he reveals himself as Fu Zhou and reveals his feelings for Miao Miao in the real world. His micro expressions and eye acting is on another level. And tell me why does he look so so much better in the traditional wear???? I need another drama with him looking like that!!!This drama overall was amazing and had me hooked till the very end. Am now even more a fan of Esther Yu and a new fan of Ding Yuxi!

must say am so confused, if Hong In A is the sister Baek Sa Eon was gonna marry & cause she threatened exposing's him & his family, he decided to switch the bride - i.e. marry her sister, why he treating Hong Hui Ju like dirt?!? was it really necessary to be mean to her? as is even now i don't like how he talks down to her, always ordering her around like she his subordinate, not his wife. *******************************************************************************************************************************************& if Hong In A is the sister - what did Hong Hui Ju mean when she told her father that she's living as Na Hui Ju - why she have to play mute? am so confused. also if the money comes from her father, even if he remarried & now cause of his condition is dependent on his wife, she can't just throw him on to the streets. can't Hong Hui Ju go to the courts or something, if Yeon Hui follows through on her threats?!? *******************************************************************************************************************************************Ji Sang U is an interesting addition - only for the fact that it got under Baek Sa Eon's skin. personally i feel that there is so much going on with the main couple that i don't understand the need for this plot to branch out with side (love) stories

at the start of this, was wondering if i will develop an interest cause sitting here for over an hr at a time, watching Hong Hui Ju get treated like crap by EVERYONE isn't my idea of entertainment. so am really glad for how this flipped by the end of the ep.*****************************************************************************************************************************************at the start felt bad & sorry for Hong Hui Ju, like not just a douche of a mother-in-law but that over bearing mother - just thinking what her upbringing must have been like, is depressing enough. then add in that husband (if u can call him one) treating her like a dog; stand, sit, come, stay.... like WTF. ******************************************************************get he is angry at her sister for jilting him, but why her mute sister at fault or deserves to be treated like dirt?!? just cause she happens to be around & cause of her disability, doesn't have a way to stand-up up for herself, let alone put her foot down & say "NO" to the marriage, that's been sprung on her. she now ur punching bag to vent??? *****************************************************************************************************************************************btw really wish they showed what happened to the kidnapper after the mini collision... she drag him out of the car & left him at the side of the road? or toss him over the side into the over growth???

hmmm... 1st off i really wish we didn't…

hmmm... 1st off i really wish we didn't get the usual trope of the elderly chaebol who has a stroke at a pivotal moment - like sorry, but i don't care that Yoo Sun put up with his mistreatment for over 15yrs. she had an end game - she knew he was old & sickly, was estranged from his only heir, so if she kept quite & suffered in silence she would end-up with all his money. if he was a self made man, then it wouldn't matter to me much. BUT he didn't earn his money, it ALL belonged to his wife, a woman he treated worse then Yoo Sun, one that didn't just get abused but had to see her children suffer the same fate, which culminated in the death of her oldest son. that money/company/riches r Seok Jin's & i don't care if he got enough of his own - that money is his to burn for all i care. don't think Yoo Sun should get a penny - she got REX that's more then enough, on that part i agree with husband.*****************************************************************************************************************************************regarding the main story the only reason i am happy for the way it turned out, is for the kids. the adults(ノへ￣、) Aish - Hye Seung's the type of FL that drives me around the bend, why she so miserly with her words? throughout this freakin drama people opening their heart, conveying their feelings & she says the bare minimum - which is frustrating. cause what we all need to read into her facial expression's? ＼（〇_ｏ）／*****************************************************************************************************************************************anyway this was far from perfect & yeah there could be more; closing of issues that were just left open or glossed over to get to the ending. but i don't feel like i wanted more eps' this just could've been written better. on a whole this was good, but a one off.*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: like both the male leads but (in-spite of Lee Hyun Wook really good looks) Park Hoon hotter in my eyes lol not that it means i wanted him to end up with Hye Seung, if her personality was a bit warmer maybe then i would feel bad for him. the way it is i think he lucked out
