Finished this convoluted drama, that will not appeal to everyone because of its themes and unusual format. It is not the usual romance to binge, and fast forwarding will lose the audience, who tread the tight rope line along Bei, Gong and Xiaoxi, where other characters weigh in to trip others up and drag them down into (senti)mental abysses. I am putting more in a review., but would like to point to the music.
The OST has nice songs and was compiled on YouTube. I have added in the Descriptions section the links and some lyrics to the songs, together with who are the singers and lyricist, composers of those songs. Among the singers, a Sichuan Tibet autonomous Aba-Qiang prefecture born singer called Mamcù, lends her voice to the theme song, sung in English : The Secret of Love (not to be confused with the Circles of Life from the Disney animation, lol!!)

No, it’s the money his sister gave her for him and she’s managing the money for him.
I am not sure there was accountancy there. Anyway, once FN and FMy got living together, money was shared and he helped her prepare for traveling once she was announced to be chosen to go study at university :)
No, it’s the money his sister gave her for him and she’s managing the money for him.
She did spend a good part of her savings, because she wanted to leave his sister's money to him once he recovered from the initial accident.When he did, she could "charge him" for stuff,
That's mean... Arthur was quite fat , even frankly obese, in adolescence, okay, that's maybe not so well-known.…
Chen Kaige and Chen Hong did not encourage their sons to enter c-ent but neither were they opposed to CFY's choice. It was ok to have him as child actor for a small part in one of his dad's movies : "Sacrifice", released in 2010. (He was 10 years old then)
But they were worried that he would meet trouble, be branded as benefiting from nepotism because of them, get in trouble for his dual citizenship although it had been ok for him to be enrolled at the Beijing Film Academy as international student in 2019. ( In July 2021 under pressure from C-ent audience social media who brought to attention that he must choose or be denied Chinese citizenship since the RPC does not accept officially dual citizenship,Arthur eventually renounced his US citizenship , obtained because he was born on April 9, 2000 in the USA). Arthur's parents were happy that their elder son, Chen Yuang, chose to study something else and enter another profession in business away from the c-ent celeb pitfalls.
After his drastic diet to lose over 30 kg (he admitted he had weighed 135kg and said he had slimmed down through jogging and fasting) , CFY already had started acting around 2016 in the movie "Secret Fruit" released in July 2017. Chen Kaige was ambivalent but still thought it would be helpful for Arthur to work as assistant director under him for "The Legend of the Demon Cat" (filmed in July 2016 and released in December 2017) : he was assigned to be primarily responsible for the daily care of the black cat, Luna, who played a key role in the film. (lol)
Once CFY was sure of his choice, his parents of course were supportive of his choices. They helped him deal with the unpleasantness caused by the paparazzo,.
Both dad, son and mom came together for some projects t together : Chen Kaige’s Volunteers trilogy, where Chen Feiyu stars as Sun Xing, a front-line soldier embodying resilience and determination. The films (under the title "The Great War" 1,2 -and yet to be recorded 3 on MDL ) premiered in Beijing on September 30, 2023, September 30, 2024 and September 27, 2025, Chen Hong, who has been a producer on many of Chen Kaige’s films, served as a producer on this project, continuing her long-standing collaboration with her husband and son.
They also came together on the movie "Flowers From The Ashes " set in the 1960s, which seems still to be awaiting release, according to MDL although other info mention it was scheduled to be released in August 2023.
I savored the last episodes after enjoying the sunny weather outside and found the ending very satisfying, once I finally accessed the 5 last episodes. Overall, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I will miss this story, which was so well told, Chen Feiyu and Sun Qian were playing very sweet and engaging characters. Yes there could have been more kisses, but the period background was very prudish, as hinted by the "love bite" from the 1.90 tall mosquito incident, lol. Now looking forward to watch Sun Qian and CFY's separate upcoming dramas, hopefully not too far in the future.
no wonder they came back with injuries on their face! I thought it made no sense to be injured on the face when…
Returning without any scratch from digging up people in shifting rubble and falling debris would also have made no sense... So, the production decided to cut that "buried alive" scene, probably thinking with good reason that it might be too melodramatic and sort of cliché after the many earthquake scenes already seen in other dramas. Instead, although the story is fictional and not pseudo documentary, production chose to insert one of the two very short excerpts from newsreels from the period, in order to make the timeline and June 1976 background (Tangshan earthquake) in the plot crystal clear.
Why are they calling Fang Muyang fat? They are literally bulling Feiyu for it and so😭I just saw a clip of his…
That's mean... Arthur was quite fat , even frankly obese, in adolescence, okay, that's maybe not so well-known. American food can be lethal for figure and health (I know: I used to have a sterling metabolism which allowed me to eat and drink whatever I fancied, until I had to eat the awful hormone filled chicken dishes of the East Coast of the US. That wrecked my system so badly, I too had to embark on a drastic diet to not be scared by my appearance!)
Chen Feiyu lost a tremendous amount of weight through a grueling fast diet (maybe worse than that, perhaps surgery) when he started in c-ent, way back when. No wonder his parents were not overjoyed when he declared that he wanted to work as actor in c-ent!
Since then, he has stayed very weight conscious and certainly can't be called fat. But it looks like the next drama that he will be filming has special slim requirements. I just hope he won't sink into anxiety and conversion troubles like Zhao Lusi experienced.
He too has had to suffer from cyber bullies + from a trash "e-reporter"and a "trophy hunter" fan -- the story is best to be forgotten although after that blatant disrespect of his boundaries, it's probably difficult for him to remain as sunny and nice, polite, as he used to be.
Do you happen to know which song is playing in the first trailer?
Sorry I don't know that song and did not see anything that seemed to fit the trailer in the music info for the t drama on Baidu
On the other hand, I stumbled upon the more complete OST on Spotify + the individual instrumental melodies composed by D-Jin (Jin Dazhou ) so I added these with translation of the Chinese titles , links to the MVs, and a link to the interview of the composer-producer to add to the information about the singers of the four main songs pinned in Discussions section.
I have added separately the link and visual of the trailer you wish to know the music of, with the question. Perhaps someone will know and answer?
why people saying that not ZLH voice ? that’s his voice no ? I recognize the tone unless there’s something…
ZLH is supposedly "voiced by Yi Fan" according to credits. 4 among the 7 lead cast actors (not Tian Xiwei) are dubbed by voice actors in this drama. Dubbing is frequent in costume dramas.
Yi Fan was already the voice of Zhang Linghe in 2023 Tiger and Crane and in 2024 The Princess Royal; he is also the voice of Wang Zhiqi in Imperial Coroner (2021 and 2026) and two other dramas; and of Liu Jun in Generation to Generation, among many actors he dubbed since 2018.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrmWl4a8UMQ (ok that song is more for halloween evenings -wondering why they did not release it then with those scrunchy bloody snow scenes 😂) Btw the OST is nice too, but sometimes I stray for other songs in the intermissions.
About to watch the first episodes and i hope they don't butcher the show just like how fan changyu butchers her…
😂 Pretty cool butchering (reminding me somewhat of the bloody revenge scene in LLTG) although in my countryside, they hang the pig first to let the blood flow in a pail for sausage making. -- Tbh this drama starts very well.
Thanks for the kind critique, it really helps me a lot! It was the first time I translated a larger chart, so…
I'm also going to watch POJ :) after finishing Love Story in the 1970s (same: I don't purchase into express usually. I believe subscription to VIP plans for oQIYI, WeTV, Viki, Youku should be enough splurging on my end and am dissatisfied with some because of the payment options hassle and the shows that get georestricted 🤔)
So, also watching else now, like short and vertical dramas 🤯🥲 or older shows that I missed and could catch up with, like "Psychologist" (Yang Zi and Jing Boran -totally different there from his appearance in "Road Home" 'his 2023 romance drama with Seven Tan Songyun) and "You Are My Hero" which had been stuck in my On-hold list because overlong (okay shows even if not masterpieces 🥲) + slowly savoring "How dare You!" which you already watched..."How Are you?" "I'm Fine, and you?" 🤣
Presently also watching ODD 🥳 and About Love 🤫, the more adult drama about a morally grey "relationship tester" played by Wang Ziwen who entangles with a "bags authenticator" played by LYN and a quirky comics artist played by Vengo Gao. There are other characters in complicated states of relationships anxiety around them, including a psychologist who at the episode I reached, looks not very honest. The story is from a manhua and was initially titled Cicada Girls, filmed in 2019, for some reason delayed till 2026. The OST is nice, so I pinned a list of songs and melodies up in the Discussions section of that drama.
... Too much. The weekend should be sunny so I'd better get my fill of natural Vitamin D, and go stretch limbs - even if not going all out to dance in public the "Zhan Ma /War horse" aerobics dance🤣 I am too rusty now, sigh. Just a few moves in front of large screen while singing that "new anthem of the year" with open doors to balcony once furniture in the way is pushed aside perhaps, then). People don't know that sort of fun dances to share in parks and plazas in my present area of residence - far from Beijing : I am missing the vibrant capital.... (I had put a snippet of 战马 short video in my Profile page, with a link to it, as Happy New Year wishes for 2026) Have a nice and sunny weekend too!
For anyone interested here is the About Love OST Full Playlist that it includes background music (BGM) & instrumental…
Thank you! Nice music ! ❤️ I am pinning it up in "Recent Discussions" under the title "About Love OST" so it does not get lost in the avalanche of comments

But Fei Ni and FMY still were attached to that room which housed his first "landscape" .
