Comments below saying no one is poor. Zhuang Xu says we are from different worlds when they talk about hypotheticals,…
If you are talking about Rong- she was just nasty and I don’t think it had to do with being rich or poor. Her other friends were just toxic. There is nothing weird about it . Everyone comes across toxic people . I honestly did not mind the main couple came from money. So what??? In the world there are all kinds. Nothing weird about it. And there is no bias here . Her work friends were not well off either but they were a very pleasant bunch. Zhuang Xu’s cowardly personality had nothing to do with money. He was emotionally abusive to her. I think you are nitpicking here for nothing.
I'm thinking I might start this drama, but wondering if the focus is on education/business stuff or the relationship/romance?…
It is a really good drama and personally I did not mind the business aspects. It actually added a nice layer to their relationship. It’s a beautiful story.
The FL’s cousin was such a vibe! I loved him! He was so ride or die for his cousin/big sis 💜
But I still did not like some of the stuff he did. For example how he had Zhuang Xu take their pictures on the slopes. I thought that was totally unnecessary because he could see and feel his sister’s discomfort.
I enjoyed AASOL, but had to downgrade it lower than SOM due to the stupid and cringe 😬 scene where Wu Lei gives…
Shine on me is better than AASOL the characters here are so well written and the story here is wonderful. Don’t get me wrong but some things could have been better in AASOL. Shine on me has a depth to it that I like
i just worry that this show adds in the typical element of: this is actually a dream/ female lead is writing a…
But this one could be like Lost Romance where these is a real guy in 2025 but his personality is different from the one in the book. Let’s wait and see
So I came back tot he forum to see how things are going and it looks like people are getting really nitpicky to put down a well put together story / drama. One of the biggest issue seems to be that the drama is not smutty enough for certain audiences. Well too bad that they cannot enjoy the blossoming of a mutually respectful relationship full of dignity and aspirations.
The other gripe is trashing a well written FL character . She is 22- 23 yrs old when she meets the ML. How much maturity and worldly wise behavior do you expect from someone who has just graduated from school? She played her age well- which is normal. And she grew during the relationship which is importsnt . None of us are perfect so this criticism is far fetched ,
And the story was more about building a relationship, which takes time even in real life. . Adding to that they both needed things sorted out. So given that they handled this aspect well. A long term relationship is not just about physical intimacy it is about getting to a point where you know and trust each other to want to spend your life with them. Coming to the focus on work/ PV technology. I think what they tried to show here was that the couple found their shared goals and aspirations through this. And the FL found her direction in life. I think it added a nice layer to the drama and I did learn a lot about this sector . The ML became her compass in a certain sense the way he nurtured her . Why would this be a negative thing? This drama had the most realistic depiction of a relationship. And the 13 yr jump gave a good closure to the story showing them as a family and also as individuals who have their individual dreams.. Finally for those who feel sympathetic to the SML. He was a coward period. Someone like that should never be in a relationship. Even if they got together it would not have lasted. It was a very satisfying story in many ways. So trashing it for frivolous reasons is not necessary .
