somebody in twitter recommended kdrama King The Land

then maybe it was a joke to emphasize how she and Shi Yan could have settled their differences much earlier by being more open with each other

i can't help feeling this is iQiyi's apology for playing dirty against Only For Love with Kunning Palace

Faults like "no plot" which those who understand, don't skip and enjoy this drama know is false, and other faults like dragging, bad filter, bad camera angle, bad wardrobe, etc. that many other cdramas have but are being exaggerated with this drama 🤨 At this point, Shu Yi doesn't know Shi Yan still likes her. When he blocked her, she thought she had lost him for good. And seeing him with his ex-gf must have exacerbated her feeling of hopelessness. So she likely thought it was useless to make him know she loves him

ahh yeah, i remember now.

did they release it while it was airing on TV? if so, they must have only aired it in China, not to international markets coz i can't remember any good English subtitles for this drama

'wonder why he didn't mention Youth in the Flames of War yet it was shown in the announcement video

good advice. yup, i'm trying to ignore them, though my senes of justice is making it quite challenging when i keep reading about flaws of this drama that other dramas also have, e.g. being dragging, yet there's nary a peep about it with other dramas, but here it's blown out of proportion.

he's had a crush on Shu Yi since 3 years before they formally met. maybe the 3 years were counted 😊

I like it a lot. The fl is a smart hardworking reporter who doesn't have much experience in romantic relationships so depends on her best friend, who actually is just as clueless about love as her, for advice. The ml is a CEO who the fl interviews. Unkown to the fl, the ml has been crushing on her for years. Don't mind the ratings. It's better than a lot of cdramas with higher ratings. it just got nitpicked to pieces. Flaws that are common in cdramas are exaggerated by antis here.

iQiyi Scream God two years in a row! He is the first in iQiyi history to achieve this feat 🥰 'So glad his work in Unchained Love, Never Give Up and Youth in the Flames of War were also recognized 🥰

i also just wanted to watch and enjoy sharing my experience with other kindred-spirit. but many just wanted to find fault with it. Flaws that have been ignored in other dramas like camera angle, wardobe, filter have been blown out of proportion 🤨

there are commenters who relish finding fault with this drama, mostly imaginary ones

exactly! nitpicking it to pieces as if all other cdramas are perfectly without flaws 🤨

as if no other cdrama has misunderstandings. there are many cdramas i dropped due to misunderstandings. this one i did not because of the compelling characters

i feel the same. been wondering about that too 🤨 i guess there are just those who thrive in negativity

“I have liked you for a long time, Mrs. Shi.”

I can't help swooning everytime I think of Shi Yan liking Shu Yi first time he saw her 3 years ago 🥰 And he has been keeping that secret to himself all these years 🥰

Good analysis. I have the same. I like how the story trusts readers to figure out the characters and motives.

I think that's the purpose of the writer for adding a Yi Yang character. To prove Shu Yi's love for Shi Yan. She feels zero romantic feelings towards this highly attractive and successful Yi Yang who does not hide the fact that he's crazy about her. For all her flaws, she is faithful to Shi Yan.
