Omg yes I saw that when watching and came to see if anyone else mentioned it a while ago, but nope. I'm just assuming it's one of those walls that have a button to turn opaque when you want.

Wait, so if I'm understanding the picture correctly, we're getting an express drop at 12 pm China time tomorrow?

Agreed! When she blamed NXG of sabotaging her interview and then acted all high and mighty when she decided to be the bigger person and not call the HR manager at the company, I wanted to give her a reality check so bad because money actually CAN buy things, and she should be glad that NXG is down to earth and not spoiled. Also, in that scene, ZX really pissed me off because how could he let everyone talk badly about her and call her a spoiled rich kid and insult her when her money quite literally saved his mother's life? Sure, he paid it back with interest, but that was after he was able to get the money. If not for her giving him all of her saved up money with 0 guarantee of when/if she was gonna get it back, he and his brother would be orphans!

What's funny is I can perfectly imagine that in my head, facial expressions and all! 😂

I love your comparison of the FL and her having her own light, as the show's name is quite literally 'Shine on Me'!! I completely agree with everything you're saying, though. I hope in the future ZX can overcome his inferiority complex and find someone who's right for him, that's NOT Ye Rong.

I didn't even know multiple platforms bought shows like that! I thought a few showed interest, and they negotiate, and the highest paying gets it. But thank you for the info! While I was aware of the popularity of the leads, I had no clue about the promo for this drama, as my only sources for any promo are TikTok and Instagram, which aren't usually used.

I would say that's very location-based. With Viki, I agree, however, as someone who lives in North America, Netflix has a minimal selection of Cdramas as their main specialty is Kdramas. However, what I'm mostly shocked about is the fact that two Chinese streaming sites have the same ongoing drama, which I've never seen before. But I am still pretty new to the scene, so it may be common, but I just don't know.

I hate when people can't separate an actor and a character in their minds. If anything, LWM is just that much better of an actor for everyone to hate the SML this much. I hope things get better soon and he can stay unaffected by everything and doesn't become another victim of cyberbullying from crazy netizens.

I like the way you think!

Could someone explain how this drama is airing on so many platforms, please? The MDL page says the original network is Tencent, in which case it would be on Tencent and WeTV since they're the same, and maybe Netflix or Viki or something, but this is the first time I've seen a drama be on both Tencent/WeTV and iQiyi at the same time and also be on both Viki and Netflix. Is there something special about this drama and its production, or is it just that many platforms happened to buy the streaming rights for it?

I hope that's how the end will be. I really loved You Are My Glory and rewatch it at least once every few months, so I think I'll enjoy this drama more knowing it's the same author. One of the things I love about YAMG is the episode of their married life at the end, so I really hope we get the same thing with this drama.

4 episodes in and the ML has been in about 4 scenes total, and the SML is pmo. But I think the ML is gonna be in more episodes now. I like the vibe of the show so far. I've been waiting for this drama for a long time, so hopefully, it lives up to expectations.

Thank you!!

Can someone tell me the name of the variety show for this drama and where I can watch it with English subtitles?

Ohh. Well, have fun watching! The finale brings us back to the heart-fluttering feeling of the beginning of the show!

No problem!

HE. I suggest it if you like romcom and forbidden romance with some angst in it.

Happy! There's just a lot of scenes that were cut and its a bit obvious at times.

Really sad to think they had a whole wedding shot, but it just didn't make the final cut. I feel like I need a wedding scene to truly wrap up a show, or it'll stay in my heart for a long time, but I guess I'll use Shine on Me as a pacifier until I can truly move on from this one.

Since he sold his garage, all his cars (which were all modified so they would have sold at a higher price), and had some savings from running the garage for so long, but only needing to support himself and give a bit of money to Jin Qiang's family regularly, I'm assuming it was enough for him to go to school and buy the cafe. As for the apartment, it was mentioned in episode 27 or 28 that it belongs to Lin Sui's company and that JZ bought it later. Given how Lin Sui helped JZ out a lot at the time, I assume that it was sold to him at a lower than market price. We were told he kept the cafe running until it got famous through loans from Sanlai, and their old house was bought recently, so it would have been after the cafe started making more money, and he was saving from the side job at Lin Sui's club. I also think that due to his involvement in the case with the association, he would have gotten some kind of compensation/reward money or his medical fees paid by the government for his contributions towards the case. But again, this is what I'm assuming. There may be different info in the novel, but idk as I haven't read it.
