F4luv89

I’m not sure how to put this coherently…but he is looking so hot these days (and I’m only just watching him as a judge on King of Comedy)

Based on ep9, I’m pretty sure they are step sisters (FL mom ended up marrying the photographer girl’s dad).

Yes, loved him in both (9 for coronor’s, 8.5 for moonlight). I don’t 100% remember what happened in this short, but my internal note to myself said “if it wasn’t for how handsome ARP is, I wouldn’t have ever bothered to watch this trash). So my comment is not about him, more about this short. I rated the web series an 8 though, so I must have liked that better.

Romance unfortunately is a very secondary plot line (only a kiss in the last 10 min). But the actual history and making of Xuan Paper is quite interesting so I think this is still worthwhile to watch just for that.

I hate how bad guys didn’t really get any just punishments (I know it’s not the central focus but it really bothers me). To my recollection, evil greedy FL mom really doesn’t get any punishment after the senior college paper scandal (after she faints, you don’t hear about her again, just how guilty FL feels towards ML parents). And even worse is the Chairman (and stupid VP Zhang and that assistant chick) who does such shady s*** and there’s no jail or anything for them??? They were guilty of forging the sketches but then that’s it? At least tell me that their IPO went off the rails. But I guess they are just secondary non-important characters. Zhang Du and Jiang Er Hu have character development (somewhat) and do help towards the end goal of the 3丈3 xuan paper, so good on them. Romance is not that much, a final smooch for them is pretty much all you get. But I like how supportive ML is towards FL, especially in the aftermath of her mom’s selfishness. He is the one that lets her know that she deserves to be loved and he is willing to love her, and knowing that her mom is her mom, she is she. 8/10

Nice drama, not enough watchers, but unfortunately I wasn’t super satisfied with the following:

I hate how Xiang Zi didn’t really get punished! All he had to do was publicly apologize and maybe get prosecuted for Jason’s death (but it wasn’t clear that they were 100% going after him for it). I also hate how her parents never apologized and instead were just “bought off” with Wang Fa’s dad’s investment promise. And the sequence of events in the last episode kind of threw me off. But whatever, those are relatively small things. Everything else still enjoyable for me, 9/10.

Very good but…

Here since noticing him in Versace’s SS2026 eyewear ads - what a strong look

My heart broke when his character died in The Heart 2.. stupid writers! You already killed his dad and now you had to do it to him too?! Ugh

Wow what a twist in ep 10!

He is my absolute #1 but I have a real disdain for her since her poor acting skills in a lot of previous works (especially the other Fireworks one). So I have been putting off starting this… but first jasmine is nearing the end and I need something else. I’ll consider it now it’s past the halfway mark.

Just finished after taking a long break - the 2 end (maybe) couples are Bing Gan (cookie?) and Wang Jing Wen, and Chao and Hu Di. A Hua and Yu Qian had an ok parting (going back to friends) but Yang Yang and Guo Guo ended on very bad terms.

Yea..if I remember correctly, the show never mentioned who is his bio dad.. the audience just knows he’s a deadbeat that Li Lan Fang left her own family (remember, she was adopted by FL’s maternal family). But then somehow she ends up with another deadbeat Xing Guo Dong, who is Grandma Zhou’s son. I think most townspeople did not know that Xing Wu is not biologically related to either Xing Guo Dong or Grandma Zhou.

Highly doubt it…sounds like a plot for him to fake his death. I don’t think this royal grandson/SML is going anywhere anytime soon.

No kiss but this is not classified as a romance drama, so not expected

FL thought “ben gong” (本宫) was the princess’s first name because of the way she (Princess) addressed herself (poking fun at FL’s lack of upper class knowledge). It was pretty funny

I don’t know how I got to this page but when I saw the cover photo I thought I was looking at Wallace Huo!!! Man, Lin Yu Shen looks sooo different here!

Sorry to burst your bubble! There was like an HR lady or something in the last meeting that said they can only pick one.. but yea, I guess they don’t show us who got it so we write the ending in our own heads. Either way, I’m pretty peeved I went through 24 episodes just for that.

It was kinda resolved (ish). She seemed to be more sure in their romance and that he doesn’t self-sacrifice just because of his dad’s connections/law firm. So they go into the interview on equal standing. But other than that quick kiss under the light, they don’t kiss again :/ what a waste
