Dylan and Qin Lan's photoshoot with Harper's Bazaar -- they both look really nice, curious to see how they portray that in the drama. I've been reading that it's currently being rumored to air in March. So many rumored-to-air dramas in March!

Hahaha!! I think he is supposed to be in his 20s and she is probably in her 30s or 40s? I'm not sure, but younger man with older woman is the future nowadays.

This flower boy not bad. Can cook 😆 @Tofu I'm around ep 15. 

 

The 2nd lead a bit like sugar daddy, rich & well off. But he's annoying because he always flaunt his VIP status. Had he not doing so, I think the FL will like him more. 

 

The FL is 33 y.o. And the kid just graduate. So yeah about 10 yrs age gap.
