I can't believe how fast times flies. It's out but I have to wait for English subs before watching. I did check out the first 10 mins. of episode 1 and some thoughts:

- The Intro title was very modern and sleek which for some reason surprised me (but I like it)

- The cinematography and the way the drama is shot is so crisp, clear and gorgeous 

- Costume and set look realistic and not too ''sound stage"

- I am liking the dramatic classical instrumental music for the OST

 

Anyone else watching this?

I watch prod the first two episodes raw and like the old fading coloring too, it really brings out the feel of the time period.  Really can’t wait until it sub.  Wondering why Viki doesn’t sub it.

[Yinye]

I hope it will be subbed soon too. Until then have to wait. Wonder how it is being received?

I had tried that but didn’t work.  Maybe will try again. Thanks

I can’t believe no one has subbed this show yet. It is 1/4 in already and blah. Waiting is the worse for foreign drama fans. I need to go back to Chinese class lol.

Join this group. Subbed until ep 20.

Watermelon is so adorable, so cute! All the kids were well chosen for their roles - they acted so well, and look quite like their adult versions, too.

why not? lols too many unrelated content?  

 

@angelangie FB has demonstrated over and over that they only care about making a profit; when situations arise —  they do not do the right thing. They continue to sell user data without always informing users, allow for fake, harmful content, sell ads w/o due diligence e.g. Cambridge Analytica, and they don’t care to really change. I don’t want to support an unethical company like this in any way.

The show is up on YouTube with English subs now. Yey!!!

[GiaGia]

 Will watch it for the OTP, hopefully it's good. Wallace and Yang Mi looks so youthful here!!

I am up to episode 19 and I have to say it is one of those slower-paced classic melodrama type. YM and WH don’t appear until episode 6 or so and I have to give credit to the child/teen actors and actresses because they did very well to carry the story in the early episodes. I felt bad for them and am looking to how their story lines collide. I am enjoying it thus far. Although nothing ground breaking, it is charming in its own way. I hope the plot picks up soon and some more character development.

 

update: ok wow episode 20 amps up the plot and oh the drama! Getting good!
