Alice_01

The eps are so long and yet they ended so fast for me while watching...And as expected it's as good as I thought it would be!! I am also glad to see them follow the novel well!! ❤

We will get to see them in older setting too but most of the novel is with them as high schoolers indeed!

Oh I see! Then I am actually glad if they change that part honestly into a more tame and concenting plot...And I don't mind the ML having to suffer a bit and chase her asking for forgiveness since he did decieve her! However I do hope we can see them get their happy ending eventually with their kids!!

Oh I see! Thank you! I have started it anyway so I guess we will see >< Let's hope for the best ending!

I am so glad! I hope we get to see it in this adaptation too!

Thank you! I hope they keep it that way in the adaptation too...Btw are you a novel reader? Do you know how closely they follow the novel material?

omg no way TT Please I hope they don't change it! Do you know by any chance if the adaptation follows the novel closely?

Umm saw some comments below about separation & angst which got me feeling worried!! Does anyone know if the novel have a happy ending between the FL & ML?? Cause I tend to hate sad endings and I just started this TT I don't mind it being angsty as long they get through it successfully tho...

I am only on ep 2 and now after reading ur I am scared TT The novel has a happy ending between the F & ML right?? I don't mind the angst as long they get through it successfully...

Okay, I thought I could let this marinate a bit more but I ran out of patience and started it!! ><
Currently on ep 2 and I am already loving it!! Unlike some other faves of mine that were a bit slow/boring in the beginning, this one hits off right from the start!! I am so excited honestly!! I just hope they can keep this up until the end & don't start going down after we reach near end...

I see thank you!! ><

Hmm...Tho there are quite a few angst scenes they didn't feel too heavy except from maybe 2-3 scenes that made me cry...The have paced the story well & have balanced the sad/happy scenes nicely so that you don't stay sad for too long? At least that was my experience!^^ Also another part I enjoyed & saved us from some extra clishe angst was the deep undertanding & trust between the leading couple!

I'm coming here after Xia Zhi Guang's stunning performance in The Spirealm & I would like to ask a few things before diving in!! ><
1. Does this series have bromance between the 2 ML?
2. Is the FL of this series involved romantically with any of the 2 MLs and if yes do they have lots of romance scenes? ( I ask cause usually I prefer my crime/mystery series romance free or at least kept to a minimum)
3. How have the cases been so far? Are they immersing & interesting?

Just a correction as to avoid further misinfo, they are not blood-related or half brothers and not even step-brothers since their parents are not legally married, but just dating (at least in the novel, idk how the series will play that part) , they didn't grow up together and just met when they were in high school after being forced to live under the same roof, due to their parents decision...
As for the storyline....It's a coming of age, slice of life type of story with a slow burn romance! In the beginning it will focus more on their individual family issues, their school life/friends & then get to their romance gradually! After they naturally go from enemies to friends first! Other than that, it doesn't have too dramatic moments tho 2nd half is pretty angsty! But I wouldn't call it boring^^ The novel was very engaging for me~

Umm actually stay with me's novel also has a happy ending TT It's just that they only managed to cover half of the storyline in the adaptation & 2nd season sadly wasn't able to go through...So we were left hanging...

oh okay, thanks!

Did eps 1-2 already drop on gagaoolala?? Even tho it says "not available in your region" TT
Btw it says that ep duration is 49 min...And there are 12 eps in total!! The production is big for sure!! I am so excited!!

Tho it's been a few years since I have read the book, as someone who tends to avoid sad endings with few exceptions, I can tell you with certainty that it was a happy ending! That much I can remember...But I also remember myself crying on the 2nd half of the novel so it is packed with angst & also before their happy ending i think there will be a few years of separation between them if my memory is accurate!

Mu Su Li is truly a great author with a very versatile writing and that's one of the things I like most about her works! ^^ Be it historical/fantasy, sci-fi or modern time she has done it all!! I def reccomend this one & two other novels would be 1.Global examination, 2. Copper coins.

Nah I am not the fetishizer you want me to be...I don't support them & their relationship just because "all i care about is to see two guys get together".Mind you I am part of the community myself... It's just that If you read the novel like the other's said you would realize the complexity of their situation...And by that I mean their relationship with their parents too and also the way the two started... They are not blood-related, didn't grow up together and just met when they were in hs after being forced to live under the same roof, due to their parents decision... Mind you, their parents decided to cohabitate / not even get officially married, which makes the guys "step siblings" only in name not even legally....If the parents can be selfish enough and get together without even asking their kids' opinion on it, then why can't they follow their own feelings too? Especially when eventually it was proved their connection was much deeper and heartfelt than their parents,...Their parents got together more out of convenience and less for love...
