a little advice: if you don't like the main couple, you should stop watching this show. GJZ only loves CYY, wants to marry and stay with him. She doesn't have any kind of romantic attraction towards SML, and that won't change til the end of the drama. It won't also help to twist certain scenes or moments and their meanings to fit your narrative.
I'm reposting and translating a Weibo post from someone who believes GJZ loves YX (in a way different from loving…
GJZ is crying because he's her friend, but also because she's responsible for his pain. She feels guilty for it and that's why her reaction is so dramatic.
seeing the rising conflict between GJZ, CYY & CYQ - I'm looking forward to it because it will show that despite her cleverness, GJZ has still a lot to learn. It's not smart from her to hide the fact that she once had a crush on CYQ from her fiance, who is not only ML's nephew but also lives in the same house. that just promises trouble.
the thing with YX is that he's been building a wall around side him - stopping him from getting close to anyone. GJZ was being friendly with him because she probably saw that he's the same as her, and treated him as an equal. He liked that and developed love for her, unaware that her kindness came from understanding and compassion, and not from romantic love.
she's not in love with him and he has to accept that. only then can he be a true friend to her.
i must admit that even as someone who likes tragic endings, this seems to be unnecessary cruel for an ending. it's okay to let main characters die, but not in a way that makes you hate the "good" people.
so far so good. i like that there is not yet much romantic tension between the leads, but I'm looking forward to when the romantic part starts between them. Can't also wait for He Simu to experience the 5 senses she's lacking.
I tried watching this show but put it on hold after ep02... I'm not interested in either the FL or Ml, which is unfortunate. I just watched twelve letters with Zhou Yiran and that's why I know he's good at acting, but his character in GTG feels flat, and same for the FL.
is it the directing? or the story? Or is it because it's needs to be an "Idol drama" and thus can't reach it's full potential?
The trailer and the promise of Zhou Yiran as Ml got me interested GTG in the first place, but now I'm just disappointed.
Does anyone have any theories or know anything about who Shen's father is? I think everyone interprets it in their…
it's likely just a random guy. the audience never meets him because he's totally unimportant to the story.
Haitang probably only married him because she was determined to live a "normal life" like she promised to Xun, and Shen's father was the first guy she felt comfortable enough to settle down with. But at the end even that didn't truly work out.
Xun making Haitang believe he's dead was a very radical decision on his part, but I can understand where he's coming from. He went to prison for murder and even though we understand why he did it, it will forever taint his life, and will make getting jobs harder for him. And Haitang would also have to suffer for this too - she would be married to someone who was in prison for murder, and with her wanting to be a teacher, she would have a tainted reputation too. So, as much as I wish he didn't fake his death, I can't blame for doing so, actually. He was very selfless and wanted to give his love a chance at life, even if it means that he has to lie.
she's not in love with him and he has to accept that. only then can he be a true friend to her.
btw, I get why some fans are drawn to YeXian - he's pitiful. that's it.
can't wait for the romance scenes to start
the cinematography is beautiful, but I just have to the agree with others that the dramas of GJM have no true "soul".
Something is missing imo.

The relationship between the leads is "weird" and fascinating at the same time...
As someone who has not read the novel, I like the idea that the Ml is a beacon of light for the FL, who lived her life in "darkness."
+ The visuals are amazing.

+ the Fl is a fantastic actress. I was also very moved by her performance.
twelve letters was fantastic. it deeply moved me.
