Breaking my silence...

I feel strange writing this, but the popularity of this drama far exceeded my expectations. It was meant to be funny and cute, but it turned out terribly forced. Its main plot axis was Thee’s unhealthy obsession with Peach. At first it seemed charming, but over time it became rather strange and overwhelming, essentially forming the core of his personality. And I never quite understood where it came from. One moment Thee wanted to sleep with Aran at any cost (literally), and the next moment only Peach mattered. And why? Because Peach stood up to him. The classic “no one ever says no to me, but you did and that turns me on” trope—how original (sense my sarcasm).

The ending was extremely rushed (why does GMMTV insist on making 10-episode series???), and the wedding turned out to be less grand than the engagement itself. Not to mention that Aran—Peach’s best (and probably only) friend—didn’t even appear at it.

I regret that the mafia storyline was treated so superficially. Even though Thee wanted to distance himself from it and was not supposed to take over the illegal part of his father’s business, he still grew up in that environment, so he should have internalized certain patterns (which were only visible a few times).

Moving on to the characters: most of them (apart from the main leads) were NPCs who appeared only when needed. None of them caught my attention.

Every couple was stripped of chemistry, which actually takes talent, because I don’t think they normally lack it.

Peach was a typical “I’m not like everyone else” wallflower.

As for Thee—I understand that he’s the son of a mafia boss, runs a large company, and probably has autism, but I really disliked his lack of respect for Peach’s boundaries. Especially in the last episode, when he said something like “you’re my husband, you can’t refuse me.” Oh yes he can. Marriage is not consent to everything—remember that. Few things trigger me as much as the romanticization of sexual exploitation.

OMG SO GOOD

Even thought Duang with you is yor typical university bl, the plot has never been done before, it is so fun and interesting! You can’t help but love Duang and Qin from the first episode. Diang is genuinely the cutest person ever, it never feels forced, and he’s so funny. Qin ist so relatable and endearing. Teeteepor have amazing chemistry, there’s only 5 episodes out, but they’re already one of my favorite couples. Every DuangQin interaction will have you giggling and kicking your feet.😛😗Watching the episodes theres a lot of moments where you have to laugh out loud, where you get butterflies, but also where you feel sad for the characters and relate to them.
Anyways can’t wait for the first Teeteepor kiss ever in episode 6!😛
Definitely watch this if you like rom coms!

I think the title is ironic, it takes an under the surface look at the sales/drinks industry.

This almost dystopian in its view of work and relationships where most relationships are transactional, and people will just about leverage anything to achieve their ends. So it's not a fluffy romance.

Good points.
A great cast of experienced actors and script that manages to make the people and their choices are real, and even if you think their morals are questionable you understand why they have made that choice. That if your job is just to sell a product that involves 'entertaining' clients you can fall in to the trap that this the way everyone leads their lives, and how after office hours work can lead a physically and mentally unhealthy lifestyle.
Most of the female characters are depicted as being smart, even though most of the male characters see them as a commodity to be used, only really needed when they do not get in their way.
The characters are not wilfully bad, just self interest quickly becomes a way of surviving. The FL seems to be perhaps the most untainted by the culture, and spends a lot of her time trying to do her best when behind her back she is seen as a threat.

I can not give it a higher rating although it tackles the subject really well, because no one seems to want to deal fairly, even the office gossip is poisonous for no good reason and bullying just the normal, and although I am a bit cynical casual cruelty by all people is not normal, they are literally only nice to each other when there is drink involved.
The two female friends although supportive of each other do not really discuss their partners and the big hole in the plot is if they communicated like most women the FL would have been better informed, as they work in the same industry.

I think my main gripe is that at the end of all of this it is its only message is life is transient so do not expect anything or rely on anyone, unless there is something in it for them. The FL's only objective seems to be do well at work, which as it has spent nearly the whole 24eps how bad for the soul the work was why bother? She is a bystander in life, and even her 'love' interest she seems detached from, when he has given up things to find a purpose outside work.
I can not decide if the episodes were edited down, because the idea that karma sorts all the 'bad' , and they were mainly not very nice people out, seems a bit simplistic.
The main thing I got from it, the work culture as depicted in China is terrible, and perhaps if had managed to inject some humour, because people in bad situations often have the best sarcastic take on life, it could made it a better watch overall.

Mischievous Fox and the Elegant Emperor

Eternal Love (the parent story) was mostly drama with comedic relief supplied by the exuberant fox and her crush, the Imperial Emperor. The sequel, Eternal Love of Dream, began with mostly silly comedy and very little drama. It was too great a departure from the feel of the parent story, so I put my viewing on hold. When I finally resumed the drama, the story switched to mortal tribulations, the FL matured and was less cutesy, and it became interesting to me once more.

The Bad:
• There were far too many foolish misunderstandings that lasted way too long. One would think people who had lived for millenniums would have learned how to communicate with one another.
• As for FL being the leader of her clan, I'd like that job: she never led anyone, didn't serve on a committee, and was absent from her country 97% of the time. When she was home, she was either drunk or getting into trouble!
• The villain was disappointing, and it was hard to believe all the different leaders couldn't have dealt with her over time.

The Good:
• FL had character growth. She retained her stubbornness, playfulness, and impulsive nature, but she tempered it by listening to counsel and being willing to accept what she couldn't change.
• ML retained his narcissistic manner, but he learned to defer to the FL. His greatest change was realizing he shouldn't protect the FL from harmful knowledge; she had the need to know what was happening, if only to prevent more misunderstandings!
• The romance between the ML and FL was charming to watch. Gao Wei Guang and Dilraba Dilmurat each gave life to their roles and made their characters memorable.
• It was bliss watching the ever elegant and reserved ML become petty and spiteful over the tiniest things he felt encroached on his love. His expressions and snide remarks were deliciously amusing.
• The OST was enjoyable. I especially liked "Deliberately" by Dilraba Dilmurat and Silence Wang.

A CASUAL WATCH BUT DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH..

My main reason for picking up this drama was the actor and the actress, I love them and was excited to see them together in this drama. The ML from "All of us are dead" really had my heart and this was my second drama of him. We are back to nine-tailed fox and the modern Korea through this crazy drama.

A one-time watch for the ML and the FL, but the story didn't stick that great! (personally for me)
It began strongly, the acting was superb, and with so many twists and turns at the start. Like the beginning episodes, never gave me a moment to breathe and it was just like watching on an edge. The characters are well-developed, it many be confusing at start to understand the plot and their real sides, but soon I got hold of it.

You will get to see the love bloom b/w the ML and the FL only after halfway of the drama. FL not wanting to be a human or falling in love, and ML being so full of himself and just wanting to switch back the fate, was a strong plot. It shows the real side of friendships, struggles, relationships and career. I found it a perfect mix of action and humour.

There were strong emotions, though at times I found it hard to decode true feelings of the characters or where the honesty lies, but gradually the drama and the story builds on. It may get boring sometimes, especially in the middle, but the ending again picks up.

I honestly didn't like the antagonist or the side plot going on, and some scenes were repetitive as in many fantasy K-dramas show this, like the FL coming back after her vanishing and the ML not forgetting anything about her. At times, it may get cliche but their acting was superb and the overall plot was okayish. It was not that melodramatic or successful in arousing those deep emotions, it is not something that will directly touch the viewers' hearts.

The pace drops in between and some scenes felt unnecessary. Or the bond that audience shares with characters was not given much chance to develop and the drama appeared to flew by like a breeze. It was a good timepass, the plot was decent, the acting carried it, but not that memorable or having a rewatch value.

The John Woo Filmograpy along with several other Hong Kong classics are being released on the big screen over the next few months. I saw A Better Tomorrow today on the big screen for the 1st time. It was epic. It really is a story of redemption or trying to go straight but the old life not letting you leave. I own this on DVD and probably VHS but I still wanted to see it on the big screen. It plays well there. Epic action sequences and bloody bullet ballet. Here's a bit of trivia for you. The character of Mark played by Chow Yun Fat was only supposed to be a small role but Woo saw Chow's charisma and added more lines for him. The Charcter was so popular that ***SPOILER ALERT** even though he dies, Chow was in the sequel (well technically as another character).

John Woo and Chow Yun Fat are the reason you have your John Wicks of the world.

I have been a fan of John Woo's since the first time I saw The Killer way back when. A Better Tomorrow was the 2nd movie I saw in Woo's filmography. I still like it over all and it did define a genre.

Before The Confession: The World Behind "Love Reset"

I went into "First Page" already feeling confident about my interpretation of "Love Reset", and I have to say, I was pretty spot on. The dynamic unfolded almost exactly as I had imagined when I reviewed "Love Reset". What "First Page" does particularly well is clarify the interpersonal tensions that were only subtly implied before. I remember seeing a comment on YouTube of the video "Love Reset" suggesting that the friends of each male lead secretly liked them but chose not to interfere out of respect. Even at the time, that interpretation didn’t fully convince me. It felt like a reach, more projection than textual evidence. Watching "First Page" confirmed that instinct. The narrative makes it much clearer that the supposed “unrequited longing” from the friend group isn’t actually directed at the male leads at all. Instead, the friends’ dynamics make far more sense romantically when paired with each other.

Within this shared universe, that alternate theory simply doesn’t hold up. In "Love Reset", Cha Jae Hyeon is shown to be friends with Alt (who is a coworker figure in that series rather than same friend depicted in "First Page"). If you expand outward into "Connect", the shared-universe continuity becomes even more obvious: Alt is canonically dating Ian there. So the idea of lingering romantic tension toward the main leads doesn’t align with the established relationships. This universe is surprisingly consistent about its pairings, if there were a love triangle (or square), it would not be subtle. It would be narratively central.

That’s something I appreciate about this franchise as a whole. Across Connect, Cross Link, First Page, Love Reset, and Laundry Romance, there’s a shared-universe structure that rewards attentive viewers. The recurring actors and interconnected relationships give the impression of a living world rather than isolated romances. If someone asked me for an ideal viewing order to better understand the emotional and narrative flow, I’d suggest:

1) Connect
2) Cross Link
3) First Page
4) Love Reset
5) Laundry Romance

That order allows the relational groundwork to build naturally before the emotional payoff in "Love Reset".
That said, I do wish we had seen more from the side couples. I’m almost certain there’s additional footage available through the membership version, which is fine in theory, bonus content is a valid incentive model. However, extra material should enhance the experience rather than fill narrative gaps. The transition from confession to “we’re officially dating now” (for both couples) felt slightly abrupt. It wasn’t damaging to the story, but it did feel like we skipped over emotionally significant development. I suspect there were moments in between that would have strengthened the pacing.

Still, I appreciate the simplicity of "First Page". There’s no excessive melodrama, no unnecessary conflict manufactured purely for tension. It functions as a necessary prelude, clarifying motivations and relationships that enrich "Love Reset" in retrospect. Whether someone watches "First Page" before or after "Love Reset" ultimately doesn’t matter, but I would personally recommend starting with "First Page" for a more layered understanding.

Overall, I’d rate it a 7.5/10. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s thoughtful, cohesive within its universe, and effective in providing context that deepens the emotional logic of what comes after.

Nice start but progressively got bad

I was actually so excited to see a crime BL but honestly so many scenes just made me laugh, cringe or question how out of reality this is.

Its like the writer only cared about the romance and forgot the plot altogether. the cuts were so wierd like someone would be getting killed and the two leads would be enjoying themselves - every single time? was that supposed to be poetic lol??
The police department does not care, nor do the "victims" thier whole squad dies one by one but theyre still keeping secrets talk about stupidity. the department is just chilling, the media is ignored, the polititians do not care? where is complexity and nuance of a crime tv show? the two leads would be flirting in the office and sleeping in the office and literally cause no tension? thats literally not how things work in real life! It seemed like this show is made in fantasy world . i dont see anyone talking about how out of touch this show is from reality. Jade's literal brother is part of the squad but jade is still part of the case? Half the show the police havent been able to catch anyone and were so bad at their job it was crazy actually.

Now the romance part is cute and all but the progression of their relationship is a bit inconsistent and kinda fast i guess. but they had good chemistry overall. its honestly not about the acting but about the script and the storyline. this had so much potential it makes me sad.

Okay, not great

I expected nothing, didn't know any of the cast.
I have to admit that I come back to this show once or twice a year. Skip through a lot, finish in a couple of hours.
The unexpected pairing of Chef John and Jiwan is the only reason to watch, really. He's such an arrogant a-hole and she's so naive. I wish they had more screen time, would have loved to see that relationship grow and deepen.
I did find a couple of other shows to watch by a couple of the actors, but, honestly, this felt like a throwaway drama by throwaway actors.
Overall, very disappointing.

The relationship between the leads develops gradually through trust and partnership.

Blossom is a graceful historical romance about second chances and quiet strength. The story follows a woman reborn with memories of betrayal, determined to change her fate with wisdom instead of anger. The slow-burning romance builds through trust and partnership, making every emotional moment feel earned. Beautiful costumes, refined cinematography, and heartfelt performances create an elegant atmosphere. Though gently paced, the drama rewards patience with depth, sincerity, and lasting emotion.

Interesting Premise

It had a better ending than the start in my opinion.
Was a bit boring at first, but glad I stuck it out!
Felt like it had a lot of plot points going at once sometimes, so some weren't as flushed out as they could have been, but still a decent drama!

I think the acting was good in general and was a bit surprised with Suzy as I'm not the biggest fan of her acting (loved when she was a singer lol). I think this kind of role fit her!

It did get a few tears out of me the last 3 episodes. I would definitely say give it a shot!

Food, feminism and a soggy plot

The plot itself wasn't very much pleasing to my taste in the first place .. the pace of story, events unfolding and even the characters nothing really could hold my heart even though for its rating I had high expectations from this show. I understand there are a lot of people who like a subtle storyline with women fighting or helping each other with men in the centre of their attention but I personally don't appreciate such troupes. As the show begins se see all shades of objectifying women in the society ...a competition to select wife .. fine ..but degrading them right away like their life depends on it .. then comes a clown with 24+ concubines ..and if that wasn't enough our ML who was talking big and making his eternal love promises to FL bring a new wife ...at this point my patience ran out .. the biggest turn off for me in any story is when the lead of that story goes back on his/her words especially when that is a promise he/she made to his/her partner. After watching a bit further it was clear that this new wife is not interested in him and wants to divorce him ..good but that doesn't mean his own actions are nullified.

I will not suggest if anyone should watch it or not ..but for me this drama has passed the threshold of my emotional and moral compass ..I don't mind watching gore ..blood shed .. swords and guns but this is something I can't take. Seriously..it pokes right through my heart and makes me moody for days.

tian xiwei was okay .. clearly her acting wasnt even half as good as it is now ( moonlit reunion)
ML ... I dont know what his name is and he is easily forgettable .. I might watch him if I see him in other drama but I won't be looking for his drama exclusively. They don't have even the iota of chemistry between them.. I don't know about ML but I have seen TXW in multiple drama .she can pull a great chemistry with almost every co actor. Here she failed. In fact the awkwardness was quite visible between them.

The side cast was okay .. two three actors were those you commonly seen in other dramas from time to time ..

BGM is soothing

So that's all

I watched all episodes 1 to 20. No excuses!

The reason I write this story is that I watched all episodes from my opinion, because I feel bad for Han Ba-Da mostly. Do you know why? Let me tell you this story. I NEVER thought that the main characters would make me under my flaws.


Eun Kang and Han Ba Da have been best friends for over 20 years, I believe. Eun Kang is a very ill person. I have never seen that in episodes, because she has been obsessed with luxury and dark desires since high school. She met Han Ba-Da because she is rich and very friendly, BUT she has a backbone and very stronger than Eun Kang.

When they grew up, Han Ba Da did not realize that her best friend had darkest desires and wanted to be like her. In my opinion, Eun Kang should be grateful to have family and her best friend who supported her, but she thinks its ok to have dark desires to destroy people and hurt her own best friend. That is HORRIBLE.

Han Ba Da has been married to Cha Won for over 8 years, and beautiful girl. I don't understand why. Eun Kang tried to destroy between her best friend and slept with Han's husband, Cha WON. Because Eun Kang is not in love with him, because she wants to be Han Ba Da's life. Money and Luxury, Desires can kill you!

Cha Won, come on, He should stand on his ground and not lead to destroy his own marriage because he saw Eun Kang naked in the pool to tempt him, leading to lust to something happening. Also, he did not think about Han Ba Da's feelings and his own daughter, and his reputation.

Eun Kang thinks its ok to sleep with him, and pathetic. Ruined all of her friendship and her life.

Han Han Da found the letter Eun Kang wrote for her husband Cha, and, shocked, was deeply hurt in her heart, because she never thought her husband and her. Cha's life was good after Eun Kang always showed up at their place to do errands. I wish Han Ba Da would not let her get involved too much.


Han Ba Da decided to confront them in Episode 17 in public to ruin them. First, Han Ba Da slapped Eun Kang so hard, and she was shocked and realized she got busted. She realized her best friend, Han Da, had already found out about their affair. Cha Won tried to sit next to his wife, but she demanded he move to sit next to Eun, because he realized she knew what was going on. She slapped him three times until he got cut on his face.

Han told them about everything she found out from his daughter, and letter, also the picture. She is a very strong woman and smart, and challenging person. She decided to invite Cha's family. to confront them, to tell them that their son cheated on Han Ba Da with her best friend. She told her father-in-law, the quote " I give your son back" means she doesn't want him anymore, because she is not a kind person to sweep under the rug.

Finally, she left him, and he tried to stop her, because he truly loved her. He already lost her. His emotions. He is not a real man anyways. She moved out and lives with her mom. Her mom found out and confronted Eun Kang at their apartment, Han Ba Da, and Cha's apartment. I can't believe Cha allows her to enter the apartment.

Eun Kang is very selfish and has no remorse. She asked Cha outside that night in episode 18 or 19. She asked him to try a chance to get him into a relationship with her. He is going for it. Viral videos and stuff at the cafe in episode 17 from the beginning. When they got together, he also brought her to meet his family. His family has NO idea about her family. She is happy to have passed the teacher exam. Fuck her. Cha and Eun Kang decided to go to the restaurant, but Han Ba Da and her mother were there after they left to confront Eun Kang. But her mother yelled at her and called her bad names. Han Ba Da tried to get her out of the restaurant. A strangers already know about Eun Kang and Cha, because of the viral video on the internet. Eun Kang walks and sits at the table, and is confronted by a stranger, because a stranger asked her the quote" Does it feel good to steals your friend's husband, how much you are pathetic". She feels humiliated too much.

Han Ba Da found out her husband had brought her best friend to meet his family and got pissed off. Decided to show up at their place. Han asked them to come with her, and they are confused to follow her to Eun Kang's house. What happened?

Han Ba Da decide to open the door to Eun Kang's house, and they saw them, and Speechless. Han Ba Da's father-in-law yelled at them that they felt so deceived by Eun Kang and her family for using them for money.

Let me tell you about Ji Nam Chul, who is the brother-in-law married Cha's sister. He is a normal guy who grew up in poverty and farmer. He's a hard worker. He truly loves his wife and two kids. Unfortunately, Eun Kang's sister, Jo Eun San who is very pathetic and tempted. Jim Nam Chul is very loyal to this family and very smart. He is a very strong man. Anyway, He runs to save Eun san because she can't hear it behind her from the heavy cremated something to almost kill her, instead he saved her. She started to pump in her heart, and her eyes were on him like a prince in a magic. She is very pathetic and a loner. Somehow they started having an affair, because he has very confused, mixed feelings. He gave her an apartment to rent for a while, and they had a short affair until his wife found out and confronted him. He was busted. His father-in-law got angry between them.

I am very impressed that His wife is very stubborn and very strong, and very wise. She decided to have an affair with Eun Kang's uncle, and she enjoys it. Ji Nam Chul found out, and his heart was very hurt. His wife DEMANDS a divorce. Somehow she found out from her father's past that he hired thugs to beat up Eun Kang's uncle 18 years ago, and she supported marrying him, but they ran away together instead, never happened, and married Ji Nam Chul. She decided to confront him, and yelled at him the quote " I want a divorce, and I let him go to live with the wrench that he cheated on me with that wrench". Ji Nam Chul overheard from his wife. He got deeply hurt in his heart and was confused. Jo Eun San, who is pestering him all day and all night, calls him every day to talk with him. He won't refuse and stands on his ground. He knows he was wrong in the beginning because his kids already know. as long. After he got very hurt, and gave her divorce papers, left. He needs time, goes to his hometown, helps his sister and his father. Eun San realized that he won't leave his family, and decided to meet him in his hometown. And he saw her and ran to hug her, and she made him say something he should have made her stay instead. He let her go because she joined the mission. Yikes! In the end, he was confused and decided to drive to the airport, his feelings mixed. decided to pull out on another road; instead, he found out something in business with his father-in-law for an emergency. He decided to look for lawyers to investigate scammers and catch them. Father-in-law found out and saw his son-in-law, to think and thank him. He got back to his hometown. Eun San's uncle got embarrassed and ended the affair with her to let her go. She realized she loves her own husband, asked their kids if they wanted to see dad and gave him a chance to reconcile with dad Chu. They went to visit him, and saw kids running and screaming " DAD DAD". Jim Nam Chul got emotional and realized his feelings for his wife so stronger. They never leave each other at rest of their lives.


In Episode 20, Eun San is very pathetic and a loner, and is going on a mission. Eun Kang got law lawsuit from Ha Ba Da for Adultery. Eun Kang wants to talk with Ha Ba Da, but her mental breakdown and the realization of her dark desires can ruin her life. She got a job teaching for a day, because Han Ba Da's mother decided to set up the flyer in front of the school. Ha Ba Da decided to call Cha Won, but he did not pick up because he was sleeping. She decided to run to knock on the door to wake him up, and asked him if that was true. Eun Kang decided to break up with him because she had made the biggest mistake in destroying this family and friendship. Han Ba Da and her mother got confronted at each other front of the school in the early morning, no one was there. Eun Kang overheard them talking bout life and blah. The flyer down. Eun Kang did teach the children at school, and her resignation was at the last minute.

Han Ba Da and Eun Kang saw each other in the morning, and went to the cafe again, to talk about her behaviour and stuff, etc. Eun Kang told her that she realized her mental breakdown ruined her reputation and destroyed Han's family. She did feel sorry for her. Han Ba Da asked her about the question of her breakup with her husband, and wants to know. She explained to her that she feels the love affair is not love and humiliation, and she realized to open her own eyes to hurt people she loves.
Ha Ba Da was surprised and forgave her, also doesn't want to hold a grudge anymore. Eun Kang knows her friendship is already been destroyed and she has a 20-year friendship, also lost a good friend. Han Ba Da and Eun Kang were apart and not the same as they used to be.

Eun Kang decided to leave Seoul for real. and leave a letter to her family. What a pathetic sister, Eun Sa, running to Cha, informed him that Eun Kang had already left. Guess what? What an asshole, he got all crying and emotional for Eun Kang's leaving. He is a JERK.

Eun Kang got a job teaching children at a remote farm and is happy. She lost everything. Han Ba Da and Cha got divorced for real, and he realized he lost her forever. His quote says I am sorry I broke your heart so bad, he and Han Ba Da hold hands together to shake, and they decided to be good friends at the start. Han Ba Da decided to go to Italy for studies and more knowledge for three months. Later, Han Ba Da became a successful businesswoman in jewelry and won many awards.

Ji Nam Chul finally became a successful chairman of businessman and proud, and stayed with his family. never leave his family.

Eun san decided to send him a video to say good bye, and he saw her video, did not feel comfortable, decided to delete her video and blocked her. Eun San is on a mission to visit her older sister Eun Kang at the remote Farm, because she is a very pathetic person. Do you know why? She told her to go to the dock. Eun Kang runs to the dock to see Han Ba Da's ex-husband, Cha, on the dock. I saw a scene that is different between them and Han Da. Do you know why? When she saw him and smiled at him, and he did not smile at her, and bit smile, not a big one. He knows he is wrong, and they are not close like apart each other to stand and see each other. not like Cha and Han Ba Da are very close and stand each other to hold hands to shake. They never are the same. In the end, Eun Kang decided to do something gift for Ha Ba Da, and she opened the door to see her gift for her, and was shocked. Eun Kang and Ha Ba Da did not see each other, and Eun Kang hid and saw her running and screaming, but did not find her. Eun Kang walks on the sidewalk and smiles in the end.


Let me tell you, I feel in the end scene that Cha always loves his ex-wife, and I hope they get back together. And I feel sorry for Ha Ba Da. I don't feel sorry for Eun Kang and Eun San; they are so arrogant and destroy someone's family.

I know Cha and Eun Kang have never been together and keep a distance from each other. Han Ba Da and Cha always keep in touch with each other because of their daughter's life. I feel vibes that they are going to get back together. I am pretty sure that Cha is disowned by his family and learned a lesson that he actually lost a loyal wife.


Damn it. I WISH The writers would add episode or vol 21 at the final for Eun Kang and Eun san will find men who cheat on them, to think about what they have done in the past. and Han Ba Da and Cha getting back together and having more children together. BUT COME ON.... In the ending episode, 20 is pathetic and sad.

You fall in love with them as they fall in love with each other

I've re-watched it again after years since the BL with the secondary couple is out and I wanted to remember why I was so disappointed at the time we didn't get much of them. Instead, I was like "oh, yeah, that's why I loved Addicted so much at the time". There are a lot of problematic stuff that my younger self didn't pay as much attention to as I do now, and probably without the nostalgia glasses I wouldn't like it as much? I don't know. What I do know is that the chemistry between the main pairing is unreal. The way their relationship is built-in screen is subtle and has a really nice pace, the conflicts make sense and there is no unnecessary drama, I was surprised that they didn't fight about Gu Hai lying about being rich, since it seems like the kind of plot we see a lot, but Yin is not dumb, he knew the other was lying because he is, again, not stupid. Also, maybe that's why this "enemies to lovers"/bullying plot works so well, because both give as good as they get, they're on the same headspace, is not something you watch and actually hopes one of them get away from an abusive relationship os something like that. They're teenagers, and they're dumb and stupid, but also, the way they start getting soft on each other, start taking care of the other is amazing. It's just lovely. It's really sad that we never saw it through because of censorship, but still, this will always be my favorite version of this story, and the OST? Oh, the OST.

‶It is you. Silk shoes. Flower rain. There you are. My delicate Flower. “

A physician by day and righteous thief by night gets the attention of an idler prince-turned-detective in the Joseon era: a tale of love, class, and political intrigue.

✅️ Beautiful story and exquisite writing.
✅️ The best part of the drama was definitely the dialogues between the leads. It felt like reading a classic book.
✅️ The performance of the actors was excellent, the emotions were portrayed really well.
✅️ No unnecessary story lines, clean and neat progress of both the plot and the character development. The pacing was well executed with nice comedy and romance mixed in.
✅️ The secondary characters were good and held weight to the story instead of being a baggage.
✅️ Good camera angles and the cinematography was top notch.

⚠️ The soundtracks and the music could have been better.
⚠️ Nothing new or different.

Overall, very good. Highly recommend for those who like to watch good romance with a touch of fantasy and politics.
