I am not saying it is her fault -please do not put words into my mouth. All I am saying is that it must be hard not to not receive any reciprocation and he definitely has a lot of patience .- which is what is needed here

How can you say it is unrelated. It’s so obvious that she is very disconnected from everything and everyone including the ML. It would be very hard to get close to this kind of person and yes the ML does have a lot of patience . If it was not for the fact that he loved her deeply it is hard to do this with no reciprocation. Sometime love is just not enough . And yes I am not trivializing her trauma - and yes something like that can cause a person to shut off like her . But it can be very frustrating from the ML’s point of view. And yes the audience can look at it that way too. I do empathize with the ML too - whatever he does is not enough till now and he does not know how to close the gap. If you are not seeing that then I don’t know what exactly we are watching either

I am not trivializing her trauma. And I am aware that she may have been sexually assaulted . All I am saying is that people around her don’t know. I don’t think the ML knows either . And yes even if you love that person deeply , it takes a lot of patience and fortitude to deal with something like this with your partner . We always think about the victims but the people who stay with them also suffer . That is how it is

It is not up to you to decide whether something is for me or not. This si a forum and everyone is allowed to air their SUBJECTIVE opinions. You can’t attack people for that . And of I want to continue to watch the show it is completely my business. And one more thing - I never said he did not love her. I just said he sure had a lot of patience in keeping that delicate distance. Stop lashing out at people who have a different opinion. What are you a ‘know all’ ?

Yeah she is cruising through life like she does not get affected by anything around her. She has built this wall around herself so she does not get emotionally affected by anyone’s feelings or reactions. If you don’t see that then yeah we are not watching the same drama

Yeah let’s make her a serial killer sure

Wow I did not know an opinion could elicit this kind of response. I disagree her actions show that she is not interested at all and yes when she is asking him to move out, trying to pay for everything etc she is pushing him away. So it is only on the ML’s side that the interest is coming . I don’t think she has ever expressed anything to him. But I feel that she does owe him some sort of explanation and clarity. Even if she does not want to jump into a relationship at least she should tell him because they have a history . Minding her own business is not an option here. Her being aloof and emotionally distant is not the right approach . I don’t think she was straightforward with Liang till the end. And if you are telling me that she never knew or understood- then give me a break. The trauma aside - she needs to open up . It’s good to acknowledge that the Fl Is flawed . So you don’t need to get aggressive about it

Honestly sang Yan has a mountain of patience to deal with the FL . Ugh she is very frustrating - granted there is trauma et. But still she is pushing him away in every single way. And now that the Xiang Liang situation is resolved, the student actor will replace him for the triangle. And she will just cruise through all of this.

Well with the bracelet incident . I guess the friend was interested in him too- that is why she kept probing the FL . But even a best friend should not be this meddlesome - in fact if she is one one she should give the FL some space .

Well she is definitely caring about every little thing about him when they are living together. So hopefully there will be some thawing. We definitely need to know her side of the story- because some thing big definitely happened and it has to do with that aunt and cousin and I don’t think her mom was there for her at all or anyone for that matter

Ok and the subtitles on YOUKU are not that great

Ok . I have not read the novels so o have to go by drama interpretations. But they may have done that in HL because the drama needed to emphasize more on the brother - sister relationship. While here it is more about lov, heartbreak etc. so maybe the two could coexist

For sure

Exactly

If that is how he was in the novel then they definitely failed to capture that in HL. If they had retained it his character would have been interesting and charming as you say. . Oh well! And they could have added some of that warm side of him here ,

She is too reserved to show anything and yeah the trauma is real

So far I don’t see the FL show any interest in the ML. Only he seems to be yearning for her. I felt that from the beginning that is how it was

Yeah find the SML and the friend a little annoying. They are both very nosy

I feel like they could have kept some of that for him here . I feel like he is too sad and melancholic here LOL- very unlike him. Especially because someone says below that the timeline is an overlap

Yep I agree about he FL. She keeps everything so close. I don’t think she fully opened up to that ML either in high school. As I am watching ep 6 I still find the friend too nosy and annoying.
