I’m also watching it while I wait for new episodes of Pursuit of Jade and the mental health angle is badly done. Hopefully one day C-dramaland learns to approach mental health issues with proper research and tact.

I noticed C-dramas aren’t so good with mental health stories. It’s like they can’t research it properly or want to. The subject matter is either stereotyped or scathed around. I also wondered on the follow up plot, and then calling the lady as her emergency contact when she has parents. I mean on what grounds is a supposed best friend the first person a psychologist calls for a supposed patient when the patient has living relatives. Unbelievable 🤦♀️
The shoe is interesting but I fear 30 episodes is too much for its kind of plot. I fear in trying to make up story for the 30 episodes it will start going on a merry-go-round like the FL’s other drama with Zhang RuoYun (Light of Dawn), and alight of Dawn was only 18 episodes. Hopefully the producers have enough story to keep the current steam.
You obviously didn't watch the latest episodes where she tricked them and got them to return home without a cent.…
Nope. I understand Chinese culture and people very well. Got first hand experience. And I know Chinese people cut off family that abandoned them a lot.
Ok, seems I will drop this show. The FL character is written as unrealistic. She’s written like some form of model human. I mean who tolerates a family that abandoned her and didn’t even raise her, yet distances the family that nurtured her. No one will tolerate such a family that didn’t raise her. Even then blackmailing her and making monetary demands, nahhh! It’s simply absurd.
I understand curiosity to know your roots if you are adopted, but when that family are literal vipers, then it makes no sense to tolerate and accept them considering there is no emotional attachment from the beginning. Not only did this family abandon you, they are not even remorseful and still blackmails you to extract from you in your hardwork and little you are making. Yet the producers want me to accept its is a completely normal for such a saintly FL character. Naaah! Anyway, watching such saintly unrealistic character is pissing me off.
i liked the quests, but the man in black narrative was too drawn out, obvious, and trite.
Yes, the first few quests felt valid. But then they added unnecessary quests too. I agree, the man in black plot didn’t have to be so long. It was pretty obvious after a while.
This show started out good until it ran into the vicious cycle of merry-go-round. Seeing they didn’t have much story to tell, the producers should have kept in at 25-27 episodes. It would have probably not ended up as terrible.
The happy ending felt like compensation for the whacky storytelling, direction, and overall production of the show.
Fast forward just to get to the end since I had invested a bit of time to it. 😮💨
Your opinion is very common and similar to many. This is what some have explained why she couldn't call her adopted…
Yep! I felt that decision was unrealistic of the screenwriter. For the ML’s character who listened to her mum at every stage (even fought her dad for the last letter), meant she would have taken her mum’s wishes to get a degree even more seriously. Especially after a year of being away and speaking to her father again. The continued refusal feels like “convenient writing” just to keep her in Shenzhen and make her some successful person who came up through odd jobs. In reality, this won’t be the case.
For that era in China, a degree was still very much prized and for someone who held her mum’s words dearly, a degree is even more prized to her. So, I do not understand the plot at all. It doesn’t flow naturally.
I thought the ratings or comments could have been exaggerated, but NO! This movie is perfect. I cried and laughed. Such a meaningful story without any of the casts trying too hard. It flowed naturally, like you are watching real people's lives.
Zhu Yi Long definitely deserved his best actor award for this role.
Kudos to the cast and crew. 10/10 from me (a rare rating from me) ☺️😊.

Glad I got to finish it. Now I have to find another job lace holder while I wait for new episodes of Pursuit of Jade 😭
