From a story perspective, if they had met outside, she wouldn’t have seen his world — the photos and everything...…
Also, the landlord couldn't just leave her leaning on her suitcase in that chaotic hallway. It was safer for her to be inside the sad flat and he also probably wanted her to see the walls of love, when he said she would understand how he knew who she was when she went inside.
I was amazed by Cherry's awsomeness when they first met in his sad flat and she said he wasn't homeless, has a tan that makes him look healthier, and people around him to interact with. She didn't shed a tear or show how devastated she was for him and his severely reduced circumstances until she wept in the shower.
Some posters fret over her alleged obsession with him, but after seeing the walls of love, is there a question that he feels the same way? She needs to photograph them so she can show the doubters and say, "See? See? He was thinking of and loving me, too!"
As for Young Master Yu, he confessed (with the photo in his wallet) and gave her the info she needed to go find JQX all in one go, which was so honorable. He let her know how he was feeling, but also accepted she doesn't feel the same way and didn't try to pursue her.
These actors are so wonderful. I am still swooning over our male lead from his role in The Best Thing and our FL from Amidst a Snowstorm of Love. Watching these and others, I amazed these people don't fall in love in real life. And between acting in Amidst a Snowstorm of Love and Our Generation (I don't do costume dramas), I wonder what the actress thinks about love and what her expectations are.
I am so looking forward to my rewatch of this when I won't feel anxious because I will know everything will be alright.
...the way she keeps calling his name while she took her shower to see if he was still there or the way she asked…
But also kind of funny and sweet when she called him the second time, he asked what is it and she said, "nothing," because she was just wanting to make sure he was there.
It's easier said then done in real life too. Feelings cannot be controlled nor can it be directed rationally.…
Let's keep real life out of this, shall we? :)
Isn't the purpose of watching series like this and our idol romance dramas to have fun and wallow in the fantasy of it all? Some of these dramas are just so bloody romantic and I love it. No, it's not reality, but as I'm laughing and clapping my hands while watching, I could care less.
I guess it's all about context? The landlord knew that JQX still loved YT and that YT still seems to care about…
I was perfectly fine with the landlord letting Cherry in. He had obviously seen the walls of love and knew she was the love of our male lead's life and she was drifting off to sleep in the dark and rain outside the building waiting for JQX. He was doing them a favor. I did for a moment think she was being a bit reckless following him inside but then he let her know he'd seen her before and I was okay with it.
I cracked up at the landlord calling ML Princess Changping, bless him.
He was so much fun. And I love how he was, like, dozens of rando chicks follow him to our doorstep and I don't let them in, but YOU, I know. "You'll see."
I have now watched episode 19 on Netflix and then 20 on Daily Motion and they were soooooo good!!! I'm holding my breath until 21. I've seen comments about an express drop of the final four. Where is that?
I think I've shared that this is the first time I've watched a series drip by drip and that I'm a total binger. Don't think I'll do that again because the angst I've experienced as this series has unfolded is kind of crazy, especially over characters from a novel/drama.
Moving forward, I want minimal friends and family scenes because we have not spent enough time alone with our leads.
I said the same thing a few days ago that people are not understanding JQX. Well said. I think things will become…
I also think that Cherry knows something is very, very, very wrong in JQX's life and that's why he's cut everyone off. His keeping the same phone number so he can read her texts is probably a comfort to her as well because no matter what's going on he knows she still cares for and is thinking about him, just like the Edward character in the story the roommate shared with her.
Yeah, she's a bit melancholy, but she's also thriving at uni, which is what he wanted for her. And in an ideal world, they will end up happily ever after and it will have all been worth it.

I totally agree with you both. Look at how he's living! It gave ME a stomach ache. Yu was also visibly shocked and pained. Imagine how Cherry would respond. And elixirgood is absolutely right: he's still so young, had a sheltered and privileged upbringing and has been reduced to having to take on huge responsibilities that no young person his age should have to deal with.
I think the viewers calling him selfish and all sorts of other things look at him as a man, when really he's barely out of his teen years and dealing with things many actual fully grown adults would not be able to handle.
He doesn't want her touched by his burdens. I am staying up for ep 18 but not having any expectations they will…
I agree. He's carrying a very heavy load/burden and doesn't want her to feel the least bit of temptation to give up everything to help him through his struggle. She worked really hard to get into a good school (and he also helped her with that by explaining math and physics problems). Plus, he's still young, too, and while he cares very deeply for her, I don't think he is prepared to be actively involved in a romance right now.
Also, what years does this series cover? Boys were far less emotionally evolved back then than they are expected to be today.
I do wish that we got to see a lot more of him, though. Thank you, random high school girl for posting his pretty face online.
I love this series. Need to nap soon so I can wake up in the wee hours to watch episode 18!
When u keep watching u would see that these teachers can't shut their mouth it annoyed me how they spoke to jiang…
ONG, thank goodness Cherry was at the hospital and was basically, like, sorry fellas, it's time for JQX to come home with me for lunch; the parents are waiting, and JQX was so out of there. And the Evil Mother got mad because her son "obeys" Cherry but not his own mum.
I hope I never see the actress who plays the mother in another role and immediately remember her. When I first saw the actress who plays Yifan's aunt in The First Frost appear in Forever and Ever, I was seriously triggered.

When he was walking home before knowing she was there waiting, they filmed from behind him and I kept thinking how utterly exhausted he seemed.

I need to drink now.
