After finishing ARRTI I got such a hangover and withdrawal symptoms that I spent the entire month just rewatching and watching their couple edits on bili bili. In fact, I still do that to this day since I couldn't get into any other drama and I never tire of watching ARRTI. I discover something new in their expressions every single time haha. I confess I am obsessed.
Yes, we all were worried that the drama will follow the novel ending. I would've heartbroken, not even exaggerating. I got so invested in their story. And i was going to say in response to one of your other comments, but I'm also a serial binge watcher myself. I've only ever broken that rule for ARRTI, but once I watched a couple of episodes I couldn't stop. I used to wait desperately for the next episodes and tues and Wednesday used to be highlight of my week in those months since I got to watch the new episodes on those days.
He has a sweet tongue , So sometimes it does seem like he has feelings. But he hasn't (:
Haha I'm not mad tbh, I like their love story. It takes a less than perfect route but the emotions are that much stronger and the relief and happiness is that much sweeter. Plus it shows that real life is not all peaches and roses. Save the surprise of their reunion scene though. Another scene that made me scream haha
Oh yes! I can never imagine either of them being with anyone else but each other. Like I said in my review, they always give off this soulmate kind of energy whenever they're in the same frame together. Like they're a unit, one team, joined at the hip kind of way. So I could never imagine her with anyone else but LSY and the possibility of them not ending up together was unacceptable to me hehe.
No one knows but it's obvious that everyone except Xiaoju was in on the plan. Tao Tao is the bestest friend ever.
No, that's actually a good way of storytelling. After the whiplash thing, was on the edge of my seat to find out what went wrong. They've done a good job building up that dramatic tension. (And they've added so much detail in the symbolism dept too, watch out for her jar of stars in that scene) The plotholes mostly have to do with the whole shen duo thing. She creates a lot of misunderstanding between XXJ and LSY. And it's never fully explained till xiaoju asks him about it in the proposal scene. She asks him even before, directly calling out Shen Duo's name, but he snaps back at her. So that thing wasn't really resolved well, leading to unanswered questions.

Please do. I edited my comment, you can probably tell me your thoughts about the last statement too. Actually, he breaks off all contact with her even before he leaves but she desperately tries to get jn touch with him after he leaves. Calls, emails the whole thing. But few things lead her to believe that he and Shen Duo are together and that's when she gives up trying to get in touch with him.
Yes, Tao Tao's whole arc is very satisfying. Their moments are also heart touching especially towards the end. The actors have absolutely slayed the emotions and Huang Jun made me cry 😭

True. They both show signs of impulsiveness but he took a very big life decision almost instantaneously and it's shown in such a way in the drama that you get whiplash. Like everything is going well and suddenly, boom, outta nowhere, he's off.

Yup, cheesy but I like it lol. Many people thought the whole proposal scene was too public, cringe and tropey. But i like it tbh the lights, balloons, confetti the whole shebang. Yeah, the whole Shen Duo thing never went anywhere but caused huge misunderstanding which also made Xiaoju give up on him. It's a jumbled mess, like I said. One thing I noticed about Xiaoju is that she continue the chase in her own crab-like way till the guy actually gets a gf. Once she thinks/knows he has a gf, she makes herself give up. It's so sad though :"(
Yayyy!! HYX has a love interest?!! Man, i am really looking forward to her next CP.
I have checked out Under The Power but i got bored midway. Maybe I'll take it up again someday soon. I don't watch a lot of contemporary dramas but i want to check out YAMG, I've heard good things about it. I don't do well with sad endings tbh and I've heard the reincarnation aspect is not that well explored in the sequel, I mean no callbacks to their orginal characters, they have completely different personalities or some such. I just didn't feel called to check out those 2 dramas. Yes, I love the TuJu couple with all my heart so you can see my love for bickering couples, as we discussed somewhere else.
I don't remember such interactions between the characters of Allen and HYX in the novel , they were always at…
Looking forward to it, not the nerves part but the rest. From the trailer and stills, i can tell that they'll be an interesting looking couple, aesthetics wise.
So true! Although despite everything that happened, I still don't hate Huan Jun, i don't know... The actor was able to make that character endearing to me lol
No one knows but it's obvious that everyone except Xiaoju was in on the plan. Tao Tao is the bestest friend ever.
Yup, you nailed it. However i do think his decision to leave for zurich (i said US somewhere else, my bad... Can't find that comment now) was very impulsive, purely to leave all that emotional pain behind and get a clean break as you said.
Yaaass they both looked so good, Shiyi cleans up well in a suit. I have watched that scene so many times, it's embarrassing lol. I can write a detailed analysis of all their microexpressions at this point lmao.
Hu Yi Xuan's reaction to some iconic scenes in the drama. Unsubbed, unfortunately:( . Can someone sub this pretty please?
