You have said it well. The whole first half was mostly filled with QJJ work. She was working. Now focus is being placed on his job and it's an issue.
Yep she will not as she stated 'I will not ask you why again'.
I think many persons need to remember that stories are told from different character perspective the first half was QJJ and all she was doing was playing games to keep her endorsement. She even spoke more and had more interactions. Now it's from Yu Tu's perspectives and he coincidentally Yu Tu has more going on in his life than QJJ.

Next week they will get all the QJJ scenes they want.

But I just find it funny that people have been complaining about modern cdramas and how all are the same and it follows the same set of actions and now their is a little difference and it's more complaints.

😂😄. It is realistic and nothing is wrong. Cause nobody wants to struggle in life.
But you can never try to date a man knowing what he wants and how he thinks and then try and change him into what you want. You are just looking for heartache in my opinion. She dated him for the wrong reasons and wanted him back for the same.
But she played her role well and is quite pretty.

Also I play no games. But I enjoy watching gaming dramas and know nothing about Yu Tu's career but I am enjoying that too.

Why would I be offended? I never go hard for celebrities nor shows.
Also I just stated my thought process. I enjoy stories for what they are and the genre that it is. I read different genres and also watch. So for me their is no comparison between a historical or modern drama as they are not made equal.

Yep. In the novel how she acts is a little more clear as the condensed he dialogue. But her implications in the drama is something else. She was like I am prettier than QJJ and brighter too so since Yu Tu rejected her I will date him in college. Then after he agreed she deliberately told a former classmate that they got together so the classmate would say it in the class group 😂😄. So QJJ would hear and be upset.

Can we talk about how brazen the ex is. The drama really toned her done I remember being so annoyed with her, because of her reasons for wanting to date Yu Tu in the 1st place and then even now 10 years later.

His struggle is man vs man.
I also think he thinks about what he can offer her to because of his experience with his ex too. In the flashback how she approached him and said we should break up. Because he choose science over finance.
Man vs society. Society expects that a son can look after his parents and provide for a wife and kids. He most have a house, savings and maybe a car.
She has those things.

Yep. I made him think about how he would handle work and a family.

I watched it on Youtube.

Yep, you have said it so beautifully.

Falling Into Your Smile was really nice. You might fall in love with it for different reasons. You can watch that while waiting for YAMG episodes each week.

lol, I like how you said that.
To be sorry or go to war.

This is not a realistic wish as without all these things that you want to be cut out this drama would be an empty shell. What would be the charm? Just watch Yang Yang and Dilraba walk around under the moonlight hugging and kissing, chilling at a candle light dinner and flirting with each other, then going out and he carried her on his back and other scenes along that romantic fluffy love? A story cannot go anywhere without it's supporting cast.

Adults with responsibilities and jobs interact and do just what is being portrayed. How can the drama not touch on the career that is or was a main source of his confusion and sadness? How can it not touch on his sense of responsibility for his friend and chief engineer and his sadness again? Because Guan Zai is sick Yu Tu was able to think a little more about his career to stay or to go.

The games were apart of Dilraba's job. How could we just watch one episode or even two episodes of her playing games and then expect her to become so good that she would not lose her endorsement, lose face in her career and even the chance to be apart of the movies for Mr. Lu?

To me these comments make no sense.

The director will not know that.
Also not all drama or show an actor takes part in you will like.
I personally do not torture myself like that. If I watch a few episodes or just an episode or fast forward through a show and I am not pleased I drop it and keep it pushing. Too many other goods shows, dramas and movies to go around.

Loved loved loved episodes 15 and 16.
It was very nice to see more of Yu Tu's interactions with his colleagues and how they work and get things done. As the novel did not go deep into his career. It is really a nice balance as we had the leads working on the FL career and now we see his. It's also nice to see a drama where the story goes deeper into the life of the characters and what they are facing in their daily life e.g. Guan Zai illness. He is one of the chief engineers and he has cancer so someone needs to take over and continue the work. Yu Tu will take up this mantle and gain back his confidence in his abilities and see how valuable is his work.

I find some drama watchers so puzzling. Why would you continue to watch a show every episode every week just to complain or voice your dislike. Isn't that just making yourself miserable. Plus why read the summary of the drama, watch a few episodes and read spoilers and others comments but keep coming back every week.
WEIRD!!!

The gaming amazing. While I was reading it really didn't give me the thrills, but watching how well they show the gaming is very nice.
Not as exciting as Kings Avatar, Love 020 , or Falling into Your Smile but still pretty great.
Loving everything second of this drama.

Episodes 13 & 14 was everything I was looking forward to and so much more. Lawd!!!!! I smiled through out it was like the novel just came to life for me. Such a great experience, as not all the time can a novel be adapted to screen so well.
Looking forward to the coming episodes.
Yu Tu (Yang Yang) did a wonderful job in both episodes and Jing Jing . Dilreba is doing such an amazing job.

Yes. When you thinking sh*t about to hit the fan and a family member or coworker would fold under pressure they all team up to solve problems.
I really like both bosses and I am super pumped that the 2FL had such great character growth and the 2ML was not a toxic crazy jerk.

I loved the Rational Life.
Have not watched the others.
This story will not be your typical romantic story and it does not have the usually misunderstanding and angst that most dramas have these day.
It depicts how the main leads become friends and then fall in love, but it does not focus on their romantic relationship for most of the plot. What you see are two mature adults with their own friends, family and work and how they each deal with the different parts of their life together and by themselves.
Give it another shot. I think you will like the female leads if you liked the lead in Rational Life.
