This sounds good.

I like dramas that are based on novels.

I am looking forward to this.

And I am on my way to search for the novel.

There was a trailer released not too long ago, can only hope and pray this doesn't get shelved due to 
allegations of tax evasion.

So, it's been said that the FL is not facing an outright ban as her case is still under investigation. Melons say that this will airdrop in Q1 of 2024, to ride on Liu Yu Ning's wave of popularity from his latest drama, A Journey to Love with Liu Shi Shi. Also, the producers would want to recoup on the investment before the final verdict is out.

Let's see, if it does. Apparently the story is a bit like LLTG but the novel is more 'juicy' as the ML is really physically attracted to the FL and they have many bed scenes, though this would probably not get approved in a drama.

I’m still hoping that this gets released this year, but it seems like the powers-that-be decided to release a different LYN drama instead 🥲

I was so looking forward to LYN drama.

Anyway, I hope the issue gets cleared up satisfactorily.
