I think there is a lot more time between scenes and episodes than it looks like to the audience. What appears to us may seem like a day or two, I think it might actually be months. But yeah I don't like rushing, unless they actually tell us, hey 3/6/12 + months later this and this occurred.

LOL, "Go to the light like Carol Ann in Poltergeist", so funny. I love these comments.

I like seeing different takes on things. For me when they are together, I see more of a sister/brother relationship. I don't get that romantic partner relationship between them.

I agree about their compatibility. After they officially got together and Ji Xing found out about it, I don't think they added anything to the story and we didn't need to see their "happily" ever after. Their marriage or whatever happened to them could have been put in random conversation. I do wish Qiu Zi would have approached Ji Xing before she confessed her feelings to Yi Chen, at least if she really considered Ji Xing a friend to begin with.

My personal opinion, I think the wedding was pointless and we didn't need it. Yi Chen's and WQZ's relationship is so boring and every time I see them together I fast forward through their scenes. It didn't add anything to the storyline, except Lili's breakup (which could have been done in a different environment or the topic of marriage could have come up at different time).

Question: I haven't finished episode 30 yet, but how is HT allowed to merge Xingchen and Hanhai without approval from JX and SZZ, don't they have majority shares. How can HT even talk about doing a merge? I am not a business or investor aficionado, so pretty clueless about all this.

This exactly was how I felt. I could not see any chemistry with Xu Kai and Seven Tan in the trailer and I just thought what an unexpected pairing, but I am biting my tongue now. I am loving this. I almost did not start watching it either. This is probably one of my favorite pairings of both of them in a very long time.

I never wanted SZZ to get together with Lili, they just don't seem right together. She is a very powerful woman (as you said) and confidant and knows her self worth, he on the other hand is still growing up. To me, his affections seem like puppy love, not mature love, which is what Lili needs. I liked Lili with XYX at first, now it is like he is purposely sabotaging what could be a good relationship. I think he still has issues he needs to work out.

yeah he does, definitely different than what I have seen him in previously

I guess I have never heard it before.

I think he lost a lot of weight. At least that is what it looks like to me.

I never score until the dramas are over. If I drop a drama, I won't score it at all, unless I watched at least half of it. I think once the drama is over it quite possibly will go up.

luckily it looks like they will bounce back from it, JX turned a bad situation into one where it might be profitable.

lol I love your gorilla glue term

I will have to check it out. I have heard a lot of good things about it.

I agree. I was so mad at XYX, when he said that to her. Why even agree to let them meet then? XYX seemed so serious about Lili but now he wants to put the brakes on. So frustrating, I think it is time for her to end it as well. I really liked this relationship at first, but the more it progresses, it is getting aggravating.

yeah I have been on a long drama break, haven't really come across anything to keep me interested, just finished watching The Double a few days ago, then caught up with this.

about as fast as her ex and friend getting married as well

The drama of The Story of Ming Lan is one of my absolute favorites, right along with LLTG, I have rewatched both several times. I haven't read the source material for both. Sheng Ming Lan in the drama is not physically strong, but she is very smart and patient, she sees several steps ahead and can wait for the "villain" to get what is coming to them in the end.

I think that is the reason I couldn't watch Anle. I did not like Dilraba's character or voice over actress in that series at all. I never read the novel, but I couldn't get past the 2nd episode of the drama. I usually for the most part like Dilraba's costume dramas.
