An unusual and controversial female lead

I think the highlight of the drama is Zheng Shuyi’s contradictory character- she is someone who is smart and accomplished at work but is very bad at personal relationships. Her job is being a reporter and she crafts these excellent interviews and articles but when it comes to articulating what is important in her relationship or how to cherish it she is absolutely horrible. She has a low EQ AND THE person dating is reserved and non communicative but has a very high EQ and is very caring.
It’s amazing how she has this inner narrative through out the show but then does exactly the opposite in reality . This creates a weird dynamic between the lead character and makes the show a fascinating watch. I really loved how well Bai Lu played this character- it was very interesting and frustrating to watch . Dylan Wang played his role very well and their chemistry was beautiful - very intuitive I will definitely rewatch this one again.

Dropped at 14

So it looks like someone deleted my review because it was negative. So I am writing it again. This is an abnormal romance. The FL belongs in a psychiatric clinic. She needs some major therapy. The ML did not owe her anything . Don’t even know the logic behind this story. I dropped it at 16 because I could not take the toxic love story with stalking, harassment and some pathological concepts. I got a lot of hate for making that’s comments but this is the reality of this story. This is not normal at all - yet it is getting an almost 8 rating . Not sure for what that rating is . I guess if it’s hot and heavy no one cares what the story is about.

The worst handling of mental illness that I have seen

When you are dealing with sensitive issues like mental trauma, depressions etc , they need to be dealt with delicately. I liked how the ML tried to always be careful around the FL because of her attachment avoidance disorder but I am very disappointed with the FL handling the ML’s illness. She really did not understand his problem or try to even support him well especially when he needed the time alone to take care of himself. She really is all only about herself .

And the writers have trivialized the ML’s issue. I mean these two being together especially after he had the side effects of the medication will create a huge issue because she is so childish that she will never be there for him or try to understand the situation. An intelligent, sensitive, empathetic and mature character is needed here and say she does not represent any of these. It is not surprising that he is full of doubts about the relationship- he needs a strong partner while he goes through this phase but she is definitely not that person. She herself is so needy that she will not be able to take care of him

Well I watched the end and yes the FL and the psychiatrist basically sent him tp his death in Suman. He is gone and she is left with nothing . I guess this should be the right ending LOL. It’s the weirdest drama I have watched and the main lead relationship was very strange. They each blew hot and cold - infact it was kind of annoying to watch them. The FL’s love was the worst - she was really childish about it . In the end they tried to glorify her love but sorry it did not work. This could very well be one of the worst dramas of the yeae

Love and Shine no matter how the snow is falling!

One of the best dramas of this year. This drama really brought back the sweet memories of our own relationship beginnings and a lot of us wished to go back to our younger days when we experienced this.
Love and shine no matter how the snow is falling is a great anthem for this drama. Very refreshing and beautiful story. The leads were wonderful but Leo Wu was fantastic as Lin Yi Yang, a layered deep character with a hint of darkness. He pretty much drove this story.
I also really loved Zhao Jinmai’s portrayal of Yin Guo as the innocent, protected girl but yet independent and determined. The music and the production was very beautiful. I don’t have anything negative to say about this drama.
The thing that struck me the most was how refreshingly normal this relationship was the ML and FL were equals, did what they loved and showed their love for each other in a very honest way. They both nurtured each other and grew through the relationship. LYY finding his direction and his way back to snooker was very well done.
Even the friendship between LYY, MXD and JY was done well and really cracked me up. MXD was the funniest of the lot of-course.

The FL is the jerk and narcissist - not the ML

Everyone here is criticizing the ML in this drama but I disagree. The FL is the worst character in the drama. I don’t think she ever understood what it takes to build a relationship because everything went according how she felt and her moods. No wonder she had 12 failed relationship. She thought only about herself and her ‘feelings’. She never really cared about how her partners felt. She treated both the ML and the SML like trash. Their weee all disposable to her. She just used all of them if anyone needed therapy in this drama it was the FL. The ML was doing fine because he had a huge learning curve. He may not have consciously loved her I. The beginning but he was always very caring and she was the only one in his thoughts from beginning to end. The FL did not deserve him. I wish they had broken up for good and he had found someone better while she remained alone for life.. Her breaking up with him while he was working abroad was the most pathetic thing I have seen. She left him high and dry. She could have waited or gone to see him instead. She took all the decisions herself and the whole world just revolved around herself. It was just ‘poor me, me , me with her. She never owned up to her faults or mistakes.There that’s my review

An Empty vessel

This drama could have been better but it’s just boring and blah. There is no story here. Yes there are many dramas about th couple fall in love but they had substance. This one not so much. The ML is far too good to be cast in this drama and all the FL does is smile and eat. They both just smile at each other and talk about mundane stuff . How much can you watch this for 33 episodes. There is nothing going on there. The FL is a woman child and there is nothing interesting about her. The ML is too mature for her - there is absolutely no character development nothing. Just weightless fluff. I usually don’t dig such stories and I am officially done
