Finally completed this show. It held my full attention up until episode 44. The tone kind of changed and it focused less on the FL and somehow filled the scenes with her Uncle and Aunty Hua. Nothing wrong with it, it just made the bit less interesting. Also, no more mention of Chu JiaHe and the 2ML anymore.
All in all, the show really depicted life (sweet and sour). To be honest, it depicted more of a sour life. Poor FL had more sorrows than joy. I hope this is not the average life of people who are famous or in entertainment. It will just be too sad.
Just when they were giving hope with Hong Bing and FL, they snatched it away again. I suspected with that later part of sweetness, it was just a dream.
I didn't like they never mentioned Hongbing's parents and FL's parents again. Instead all the time they spent on her Uncle (which I think was unnecessary, they would have touched on those). Because of this, I felt the ending was wonky and deserved better, especially for the quality they have been giving.
Ah! This show. I think they could have still made it as a couple, but then again the show depicted the reality of so many marriages. Things such as loss or sickness can greatly impact a marriage, and can sadly lead to the end too.
The story so far is captivating. The editing and sequencing of the show, however, leaves one with a headache. I hope it improves and that the bad editing was only done to the earlier episodes in order to reduce the overall episodes of the show.
I never knew people in prison can look so well groomed and impeccable, with lipstick and groomed brows, LOL. The makeup department of this show still has a long way to appropriately represent what characters should actually look like.
Qin E is now 24-almost 25? Qin E is all grown up. Living in the city for 2 years, she is more exposed to the world…
Her hardship started from her family. She was always the neglected child and having a son made it worse. She was never cared for and was the work mule. Even her sister said it to her. If only parents had the number of kids they could actually afford. Her family caused her many hardships. It’s sad this part of the issue isn’t even addressed. Instead, it shows FL still yearning for and sending money to her family.
There are people like the 2FL in real life, people who think that they deserve what other people have, and that those people who have it, stole it from them or is blocking them from getting it. However, they refuse to accept that even without those people, that thing will never ever be theirs.
When 2FL was called to tryout the lead opera role, she couldn’t even do the bending routine and ended up hurting herself. She just didn’t have the flexibility or the technique to excel. Even when they started out back at their county, she also fell short that she asked her parents to transfer her out.
She spends her time feeling jealous and covetous, when all that energy should be spent on being the very best version of herself that her talent allows her.
I’m sure she’s the one who hurt the FL in recent episode. She was the only one to ah e bought the magazine before FL’s family bought all of it out.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to next episodes and finally seeing how HongBing and FL’s being in a relationship looks like.
PS: This drama is absolutely wonderful. The one episode a day is a torture though.
And he is not other group mate he was the first one since childhood who has taken her side always and he goes…
That’s not how love works. He was a coward who decided to ghost the FL instead of speaking to her. He left her heartbroken. He didn’t even say goodbye.
I dont know if we are watching the same drama or not, where did you get all this idea of him being jealous of…
He wasn’t happy when he saw her name on the board. That face didn’t look happy. I said he was envious because he felt she had surpassed him. Also, if he truly cared for her, he would have confronted her and sorted out the issue, instead he disappeared. Even left the city entirely. That’s not a person who loves someone. He even saw the FL running after him, so he knew she wanted to explain things to him, but instead he left. Had more time to talk to the 2FL.
It’s the envy he already felt that made him overreact. It wasn’t just about the hug.
And he didn’t even fall for FL until she came back to the opera team.
Liu HongBing is over the top. But at least he’s confident in himself and doesn’t think the FL’s success is a problem.
Feng XiaoXiao even didn’t want the FL to leave the local opera team initially until the Uncle spoke to him. Compare that to HonBing’s reaction to whatever new opportunities the FL gets, even if it means going higher than him. He displays this quite well when they went to Beijing in Ep.34.
Ok, I’ve tried (up to Ep.18), too much back and forth and limited lines. Seems the scriptwriter didn’t know what to write. Same conversations over and over again. Family fighting over same thing (FL comes, FL goes and FL comes again and round and round it goes). FL faces a trial (always similar), FL becomes a hero. 😮💨 It’s reminding too much of Flourished Peony Part 2, which was terrible in my opinion.
We still don't know the background of Feng Xiao Xiao and Liu Hong Bin. Although Feng Xiao Xiao appears from a…
The uncle just got the family’s number and made an anonymous call. He doesn’t know the family.
So far, we can infer that the 2 guys come from stable an and relatively well of families. Which is why when they were younger he was fawned over by the other kids, including the 2FL. If he was from a poor family, the 2FL will definitely not want him. Also, the both MLs are spoilt, 2ML was more obvious in his younger days. Liu HongBing is just rebelling against his parents but he is still a very perceptive person.
But, I agree with you, 2ML should have fought for FL if he truly liked her, but he isn’t a confident person and also envies the FL growth within the Opera. He already feels the more she grows, the more out of reach she becomes for him.
Meanwhile, Liu HongBing doesn’t even care (I mean he doesn’t even have a job), yet he feels confident enough to chase the FL and knows he can support her.
and In the first episodes, when they were trying to choose who had the better acting performance between the FL…
Yep. Also, even though he liked the FL since they were little, he didn’t make any move until she was noticed . I’m sure following the upcoming episodes he will go back to 2FL out of envy. They’ve even reconnected.
Ok, with today’s episode, I now understand why people are saying she won’t end up with Feng XiaoXiao. He is clearly like their other group mate (2 FL), jealous of the FL. Because how do you claim to love someone and then do not even let her speak or explain and walk away. He was already feeling less than when he saw her name as a lead on the PlayBoard. Since she achieved that fairly quickly. Instead of instant happiness for her, he felt envious and less than.
This is the difference between him and Liu HongBing (even as an annoying stalker). Liu HongBing feels genuinely happy for FL’s growth and success. He is confident in his person.
There is nothing worse than being with someone who is not confident and feels threatened by you.
Also, no more mention of Chu JiaHe and the 2ML anymore.

Nothing is constant or guaranteed.

I excited to see the rest of the show and hopefully we are not only fed Cinderellas and kumbayas from the FL.
