I do feel like as annoying as Esther can be sometimes, she also helped him grow his social media fan base. she’s so good at filming content, making videos on set while in costume, doing dances to popular songs, following viral trends, acting funny behind the scenes with him etc that this keeps HER fans and new fans well fed.
we can tell he follows her lead in those videos, kinda like she invites him to be silly and it’s okay! so honestly, despite all the STUFF she can improve on, I do feel like he Yu owes it to her for gaining traction on social media. he’s hot yes, he def can act yes. but she fanned the flames for him. I gotta give credit where credit is due.
THIS!!!! “the oversexualization of her outfits” esp when she was playing a younger age! omg i mentioned how her scantily clad outfits were distracting in the SAL page and this person came at me “scantily clad? it’s 2025 be real” UHHH yes. I know people show skin in real life. I see it. I living through it.
I’m talking specifically about HER in this CHINESE DRAMA wearing BACKLESS TOPS, SHORT SKIRTS (tshirt with questionable bottoms?), HIGH SLITS, LOW CUT TOPS. that’s not the usual Chinese drama wardrobe, it just isn’t!!! I can’t be blamed for saying it’s literally distracting. were the fits cute?? oh absolutely, I googled some myself. but did it fit the drama, GURL NOOOO. ✋🏼
Wang Xing Yue is 23 but doesn't look like 23. He looks about the same age with HMH. Besides it sounds like HMH…
agree that WXY looks older than he is. I like that about him. and absolutely people have large age gaps in real life! but there’s a difference between…let’s say a 25yo and a 15yo than a 35yo and 25yo, both with 10 yr age gap 🥲
I mean regardless of what actually goes on in real life…sigh. both actors are great. visually pleasing. they’ll probably do well together on screen. we just have to wait and see.
I don’t think anyone thinks it’s the best fit. I think most can agree on here that 17 yo’s shouldnt be casted as a romantic lead. my suggestion of casting a younger actor vs older was in regards to making the best out of a bad situation. 😕so it sounds like your take is she likely shouldn’t be in the industry at this point, which is also valid
Straightforward and easy to follow the story. Appreciate that focus given on main characters love story of at…
I think in addition to the wedding scene and other shortened kiss scenes, the drama spent unnecessary time on arcs they didn’t bother finishing. or even just a relatively large amount of time on scenes that they didn’t even care to expand on further.
dad’s alcoholism? she met him when he was lying on the ground and there was that entire scene of him on the streets and she covered him with newspaper. how the stepmom and dtr wrote it off as totally normal. it really felt like there was a story there. but nada.
Mike showing up again in Nanjing and asking him to ride again multiples times. seemed like a lot of emphasis on a possibly new arc with only a few episodes left. and of course, not much closure with that.
also, this was cut but the whole condom scenes? I was waiting for the punchline but that was snipped too. even an awkward moment between the two after they were found on the floor with have sufficed.
just so many loose ends - big and small, that’s like gah!! love that FL and ML got their big finisher but… still somewhat unsatiated.
