I just completed it and honestly i loved the last ten episodes. The time that i thought her life was messy (a bad choice of words) was at the beginning where she couldn't understand the ml's coldness and distance. Later though, i enjoyed her character development. As you said, she thrived at her studies and she founded new friends along the way. Her character was so kind and empathetic. She tried so much to help Qiao Xi "come back light" and allow himself to feel happy, because he was sabotaging himself. Honestly, i just couldn't really resonate with her life, so maybe that's why i couldn't see her perspective very much. My character and life experiences helps me to resonate more with Qiao Xi and the episodes 19-21 was a pretty hard watch. Maybe my comment was a bit immature lol

Fr they were too judgemental(as i appeared rn 😅) and they could easily abandon/turn their back on her.

They truly were and (almost)everyone in her class ostracized her very easily without willing to hear her side of the story.

You are right, she had any right to be angry at him for her letters and the fact that he never tried to stop the rumors.

I would like to share my opinion on Ying Tao, as a teenager myself(please dont be harsh) until the 17th episode. Ying Tao's childhood friendship with Qiao Xi was very cute and i loved how she and her parents embraced him so quickly, upon the realisation of what he was going through. It was so heartwarming how she always tried to reach out to him and wrote him letters even if she knew him for like 6 months which stated that time doen't take any place in people's memories. I felt kinda confused when she studied so much to change schools just for him. She even stated that if it wasn't for him, she could't study to change her school or get into a good unversity. I reminds me of the lyric "all because i liked a boy" and i really find this thrope unsuitable for the drama. A school drama which is mostly gonna be viewed by teenagers shouldn't really go to that direction imo. Also , the whole high school time felt weird. Qiao Xi just broke contact from a childhood fried but she acted like he betrayed her. She was always thinking about him and it really made her life tangled and messy. Also i founded her kinda repulsive and emotionally unstable( is that too harsh??). Though, as a person who had really strict parents in the past, i must admit that her understanding QX's familly situation was a very heartwarming thing to view. Thats all thank you for reading

His acting in Trigger felt so raw and real 🤍

excuse me for my words but wth did i just watch in the last episode???

Haha maybe, I'm also seriously thinking about this. In the first episode the Song man said " you should become friends" and the translation was "you should get along". It's not that bad, but it's kind of confusing

It's perfect. It portrays with realism the struggles of poor people, the struggles between parents and children, the struggles of families, the problems of an overly judgemental and gossiping society and it shows how beautiful a pure, teenage love is. If you gonna watch, you won't regret it 😊

If I remember right, he did it because he wanted to take her virginity away, so she couldn't marry the prince and then kill her.

@Tintentaucher In the novel, the female lead was drugged and r*ped by the male lead, so changing it to a ''i took an aphrodisiac and I'm horny" thrope it's way better.

I think a wife and 3 concubines are better than 19 that Shen ZaiYe had in the novel

You're right, there is a fine line between giving advise and straight up insulting someone by saying they're pitiful and getting picked up like an abandoned animal

I don't know if Mumu liked Ming Shen in the novel,but i hope the drama won't take that route. And Honestly, if i was at Mumu's place, i could done the same. Ming Shen is in a good position, where his parents can support his college studies and even help him study abroad so i wouldn't advise my friend to act on impulse just because he doesn't have the best relationship with his father. Also, when she said that Ming Shen always helps the needy i was shocked, it's not like Qingyu is a stray cat or something 😅

It is natural that Mirae's and Sejin's romance progress is slower, they both are introverts and Mirae has experienced sexual harassment.

Exactly, is not the mother who cares too much it is the father who cares too little

You are right,the father is physically present but not mentally, which has definitely left an impact on jinyu who tends to back down kn difficult situations and doesn't like to make decisions or take the initiative

The scenes with the parents are so hard to watch for me, i'm seeing my own mother and father in most of them. Especially the mother, she's blinded by the reputation she has to uphold and she doesn't trully care about the truth, as long as the people don't gossip about her familly, which is inevitable.She's also blinded by the common patriarchal values, which is not trully her fault since she was raised that way, which has made her to throw away qingyu's clothers that are considered "flashy" , so she couldn't capture the attention of men, she has forbit qingyu to develop friendships with male individuals and she even resorted to physical violence when her daughter choosed to speak up(i'm not going to mention beiyu). She isn't evil, but a person who is afraid of the judgemental society. This is not an excuse about her actions, but we can't, as the audience, just say "i hate her".
