Or got put off by him when he extracted that ‚15 years wait for me promise, and until then pls be my side piece‘ thing ‚ugh‘. That’s my turning point.
It's amazing that for some people, this was all it took while others read the entire novel and still think he's the bees-knees. I admit that the first time I read the novel years ago, I didn't mind him at all. But this time round it was different. The 15-year promise probably wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me if he didn't continue to be so helpless and passive for the entirety of the novel. There were so many moments where there could have been growth in his character, and yet, the author chose to keep him the same. I remember reading the novel and wondering if the author actually wanted me to like him and root for YaoJing.

drama failed to give me more hot scenes after all that kissing scenes. My gutter like mind was very disappointed, not to see any bare arms/chest of TJC by the end of it LOL
I made it through the entire 33 episodes, but only because I "watched" it while socializing with some of the ladies here. The number of times I complained about the lack of pay-off to those kiss scenes that they leaked early to lure us in...my gutter brain was not happy about it either :-)

That drama gave me warm fuzzy feel and put Yang Shuo into my travel destination (that view from the ship is just breathtaking and all that yummy food) if I can someday travel to China again
They should have scraped all the boring side-couples and just made 16 episodes of the main leads falling in love while travelling through China; talking and eating delicious cuisines from each region between make-out scenes. That would probably be a lot more fun than what we got :-).

Kikinaki Yeahhhh the same as me. I still haven't read the novel though, should I start it?(I guess it's more elaborate) I already know it's gonna exacerbate my situation but can't do much about it right now :)
