So agree. Johnny Huang and Li Xian are two of my favourites.

I didn’t see the relationships as a love triangle. There didn’t seem to be any competition between Xiaodan and Chun Chun for Xiaoman’s affections nor did I feel Xia Lei was competing with Xiaoman for Xiaodan’s affections. That’s my take on it. I cannot think of any dramas where the SFL ends up with the ML.

Just for the OST alone it deserves a 10 and with such brilliant casting and such a beautiful, heartwarming and moving storyline, it’s a 10 for me. It’s such a great series.

There’s a lovely scene in Episode 25 towards the end (around 35 mins) when Xiaodan goes to the hospital to see Xiaoman and he is mounting the decorated bottles to the ceiling of the greenhouse. The POV of Xiaodan to the closeup of Xiaoman’s profile, the lighting and non-diegetic music adds to the poignancy of this scene revealing the loss of a once past love. So brilliantly filmed.

Have you seen the K-drama, Dare to Dream (also known as Jealousy Incarnate) ?-actually quite a lot of k-dramas have love triangles such as The Heirs, Our Beloved Summer, True Beauty, Clean with Passion for Now… the list is endless!

Love Song in Winter is pretty good with not just annoying but toxic 2ML. (FL is never attracted to him but he is obsessed!)

I can’t help but see a close resemblance between Lu Yu Xiao and Korean actress Kim Hye Yoon. Both amazing actors. Felt sad for Pei Zhen and his final scene was very touching. Dai Xu was fabulous in this role. I wish there was a more conclusive wrap up about the relationship between Zhao and Gong-it was too much left up in the air and left just in the friend/business collaborator’s zone although there could be a possibility that their relationship would grow (or that was my hope-would have liked to have seen it!)

Thank you for the link. Having seen these series I found the analysis quite interesting. I agree that I prefer the more gentler and understanding male leads that support the female lead rather the toxic, domineering types that are in many k and c dramas.

It is a comedy and one must suspend belief but really? That’s not how you get rid of wasps and chop down a tree (Episode 4)-perhaps a disclaimer needed! Ha!Ha! Bom-sik is adorable just like his parents. Overall, so far enjoying this series.

Thank you for The Daily Motion link. I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely romantic film. The end also had some behind the scenes images which were so cute. With much appreciation.

This is such a good vertical drama. Both leads do so well with this well written and developed story. I’ve always liked Wang Ge Ge and Wang Kai Mu is one of my favourite actors. Well done.

First Love is quite good as well as Glass Hearts.

What a gem of a series. Absolutely loved it. The FL and ML were perfect and portrayed their roles so exceedingly well as did the supporting cast notably her dad and her mum (love their outcome) as well as her friend, her teacher’s aide, the hosts (especially love the ML’s relationship with his flatmate and the ‘Number One’ host), his mum and particularly her fiancé. Such a refreshing and heartwarming story. The symbolism throughout added to its depth. Great OST. I particularly love The Castle by Yugo Kanno-such a hauntingly beautiful voice to the meaningful lyrics. It’s series like this that encourages me to watch more Japanese dramas.

I watched it through this link https://youtu.be/Rfirufx7iy8?si=M2B9vO_egt3MJeNQ
It has a different title to the original Yield to You which is My Marriage to My Reincarnated Rival. This one has English Subtitles.

Without providing a link, I searched by following this pathway: I typed in on You Tube, Yield to You Chinese Drama which led me to Yue Yu Ting 191 Videos and clicked on this then scrolled down to the 4th video titled (EngSub) My Marriage to My Reincarnated Rival#DRAMA#PureLove and there it was. But if you prefer a link, try https://youtu.be/Rfirufx7iy8?si=M2B9vO_egt3MJeNQ

Just finished watching it. No way was it vulgar. I liked it very much. They did a great job to condense the storyline to under 3 hours.

Love this actor and the films he is in. He has such an expressive face. Glad he is not only in Taiwanese dramas but also being cast in Chinese dramas. I am currently watching Twogether, a travel series on Netflix and enjoying it.

The Meet Yourself OST is fabulous especially the song, Days which is my favourite.

I agree with you. Although I love the Korean, a reason why it may have seemed slow is whereas both productions are recounting the same storyline, the Korean is 16 episodes and the Japanese is from what I’ve read, only 10 episodes. So far, into the 4th episode, the storyline is developing well including all the essential detail although Mother-in-law character so far hasn’t appeared.

I have seen the Korean version which I love and am now enjoying the Japanese production very much. The production values and character portrayals are outstanding. The editing of the 2015 and 2025 scenarios of Misa’s experiences are excellent and loving the POV commentaries by the FL and ML. Koshiba Fuka is nailing the role superbly. Cheering Misa on as she navigates her 2015 insightful assertiveness. All the actors are well cast and I particularly like the actors who are brilliantly portraying Reina and Tomoya.
