He's insecure about his humble background, and very conscious about the class difference between him and Xiguang. You can see in his actions that he tend to take Xiguang down a peg or two so that he can feel the difference less.

All of those compound into him not taking any advance toward Xiguang, and he simply missed the chance eventually. He likes her and he tries to make himself better by climbing the career, but she has already moved on by that point.

I've never watched vertical drama before. This drama took me to one of Yu Yin's dramas, "What a Good Girl". It was pretty good ngl.

You came in at the right time! We all were suffering from 1ep/day schedule for the last 3 days lol. Tomorrow, it's back to 2ep/day. And happy new year to you too!

For the blood sisters, it's Rong Yunyin (4th) and Rong Yunwan (6th).

I like the 5th sister. She's such an enigma. The actress is nailing the role as well.

I actually liked ep 20. It cannot be rainbow and sunshine all the time. They need something like this to iron out their relationship. There can be a lot of unreasonable things involved in a relationship, and where Xiguang was coming from isn't that farfetched either. It's an honest misunderstanding, nothing a good conversation cannot solve. I'm sure they'll resolve this next episode. (IRL, I'm someone like Yusen, doing his own thing without telling ppl about it. It took me a great amount of effort to get into habit after various issues big and small.)

I also actually quite liked the hospital corridor scene. Symbolically, Yusen was in a state of gloom, and Xiguang appearing from the other end and reaching out to him like a sunshine. I think that was beautiful.

Not a vertical drama wacher, but 'Glory' brought me here as FL was stunningly cute there and this drama was recommended by people.

It was pretty good ngl. I might check out more of FL's dramas.

Agreed. Probably the loudest one (4th sister) might be the simplest one.

I so ship the scholar guy and the 5th sister... please let this be a real ship.

Love Like the Galaxy with Wu Lei and Zhao Lusi. Good drama.

And I lost it when he said "as if I'm some schemeing consort whispering poison into the emperor's ear" to FL. 🤣🤣🤣

Snooker is just part of the connection between them. Romance is the main focus. It's totally fine to fastforward the competition scenes if you are not into snooker as long as you keep track of the developments. Just try to make it to their dating era, there are so many lovely moments between the leads.

They are still in pursuing era. By what we have seen so far, FL is already over SML.

I melted at that scene as well at how she frankly told ML her current state of mind to set the expectations right. She is such a sweetheart.

Some finds it slow, but I absolutely adore 'Amidst a Snowstorm of Love'. Very similar vibe with 'Shine on Me' as well, sweet and cozy. Zhao Jinmai is so good in such characters.

I liked ML's mother since LLTG (she's the Empress there). She's so elegant in every role she plays.

In that case, I think you might enjoy this drama. Even with amnesia, ML retains his smart, and scheme for his survival and to learn his identity.

In terms of shrewdness, both ML and FL are on equal footing imo.

Head servant besides the Grandma Rong.

Rong family (and in extension, its business empire) is a 'super' matriarchal circle. And, in the beginning, ML is literally a 'servant' in FL's family. So, you can guess.

Though, ML in his amnesiac state is no slouch either. I'm sure the dynamic will shift as the story progress.

It's a convenient plot device, so ain't going away any time soon. Better to get the amnesia early than getting it at the middle or towards the end. xD
