tysm! the detailed explanation rlly helped!

I think the only thing missing from this drama that made it a 9/10 rather than a 10/10 is the lack of romance in the second half of the drama. After their 5 year separation, I never really felt very excited to see them, and there was a slight lack of chemistry compared to how they were before. Even during the wedding scene, I didn't find myself as excited as I was during their time in Ganlin. And after the wedding, it was truly just tragedy after tragedy. In the ending scene with their daughter, I didn't feel any satisfaction with their ending but rather a weird feeling of emptiness, like they didn't seem like themselves. I don't blame the actors; I just think that the way some of the scenes were executed could have been changed. Because it felt unrealistic that they were still together and happily married after all that time, when they looked so out of love.

ohhh okay. thanks sm for the explanatin!

thought this had an interesting cover and name and came to check out the plot to see if I should watch it, then realized it has FIFTY episodes?!?!?! And they're all a normal duration of 1 hr. Is this common? Because after 2 years of watching K-dramas, this is the first show I'm seeing like this.

Yeah, I think I will. Thank you!

I've watched both of those and loved them, so maybe I'll give this one a shot if it's similar.

I'm thinking about starting this drama because it seems interesting. Do you guys recommend? Can you maybe tell me another drama that is similar to this? I dropped Melody of Golden Age after like 6 episodes because I didn't like it, so I'm scared the same will happen here.

He has been doing different genres for a long time now anyways, with ping pong life, mobius, and reset. However, rom-coms happen to the only genre I can watch with very few exceptions, which is why I said I hope he does more rom-coms. I support him as an actor to explore the field and not be type-cast, but I also hope that he does another romance drama as he does very well in those.

I'm halfway through episode 4, and EVERYONE except Shen Fu Xuan and the FL is pissing me off. Especially the ML. Everyone is excluding her because she's smart, and multiple people like Tang Ting Ting and Jin Bai Hui are very prejudiced against her when all she's done is be neutral, if not even kind, to them. As someone who also has trouble making friends, this is really infuriating to me because everyone is being rude for no reason. ML is also very unfavourable right now as he's constantly embarrassed of her and never sticks up for her. He says that they're "best friends" but never seems to be there for her and is only seeing her as an academic rival. This is the most SML syndrome I have ever experienced in a show before, and right now I don't see it ever getting better. I really hope things turn around for FL, or I'm dropping this show, as it seems like nothing but rage bait until now.

It's definitely VERY near the end. We only find out the whole backstory around ep 30-31. But they get together around 26, I would say. In my opinion, it's worth completing if you've already watched a lot of it. But if you still find it not worth it, dropping it might be the best option for you.

Yes, she finds out everything near the end.

I mean i totally get that and did enjoy all the other scenes, its just that as a fan of both YSX and CJK i was hoping we'd get to see more romance between them since they both do it so well.

thank you! will go check it out.

ohh ok tyy

I read somewhere that there was a variety show filmed for this drama, but I doubt it due to them donating all the promo budget to relief efforts for that disaster that happened. Does anybody know if there really is a variety show or if it was just a rumour?

Although this drama has many deep plots and themes, it was always good for a daily pick-me-up. I loved watching the scenes with the players and Victor Ma, as they never failed to crack me up. The only thing I would have changed about this show is to have more scenes with the leads after they actually got together, because the second they were in a relationship, they had barely any romantic scenes together. Other than that, 10/10, loved the drama.

Because Jason's mother didn't want to get an autopsy done before they cremated his body, the case of his death was closed as a suicide. Hence, they were never looking for a murderer, and this guy can't be charged for it, even if there's evidence. He was only held for a little while on charges of intentional assault on Wang Fa during that fight at his house when he pulled out a knife on him, which is why he was released.

I think we're only getting this one in August atp. But that's honestly better because there are just too many dramas airing right now.

I think that for one, she assumes that he knows about it because he didn't contact her, but in reality it was his mom making him unable to get in touch w her. And also, we should consider the fact that he basically stole her dream. And by that I mean, she was a very enthusiastic and bright kid who had passion and drive to reach a dream. She meets a guy and basically shares her dream with him, bringing him out of the cage that his parents built around him and giving him ambition to work towards a better future, and they fall in love. However, that same guy becomes the reason she doesn't achieve her dream and is instead stuck in the slums of a 9-5, while he is living his dream life (the dream she gave to him) and seems very happy, as if everything that happened with her never existed. If I was her, I would be resentful as well. I really need the ML to grovel a bit or at least realize what she's been through before she forgives him or the romance arc starts. Otherwise, the FL's life would be too tragic.

No, he's described as "vulgar" with that exact word. He swears a lot, speaks in an impolite way, talks about sex a lot, and more, which is why I used that term. But maybe there are differences in the books we're reading? Translation can vary, and the end product on two different sites might be basically 2 different books.
