Exactly, just want to rewatch it for their beautiful portrayal of the characters

My feelings exactly.. this makes it easier to rewatch for me personally irrespective of when or if S2 comes or not. Would love to enjoy their beautiful performance again and again..

I love how you listed down all the possibilities very accurately. I think the current version of ending things in bittersweet manner is just right for me personally. This kind of makes it easier for me to keep rewatching whenever I feel like it as I really want to enjoy the beautiful acting and the small but beautiful moments again and again. This also gives a kind of good closure if for some reason, S2 has any issues..

My tears weren't triggered for 1st 11 eps but Sheng Wang's realisation of feelings and his way of processing them in ep 12 was a tearjerker for me. The way Sheng Wang tried to apply his mother's words about the mint plant to his current situation turned on the tap. Sheng Wang's pain of carrying the growing feelings and Jiang Tian's pain when Sheng Wang tries to maintain emotional distance were so beautifully portrayed by them. I think I already replayed every scene in this episode twice because of their wonderful acting.

Liu Dong Qin's portrayal of Sheng Wang is just the best for me and same goes for Benjamin and the whole cast. I was reading some novel snippets and couldn't feel but amazed at how beautifully the characters were brought to life and I couldn't have imagined the same impact with anyone else.

I think I personally would have still preferred this bittersweet ending over dramatic separation. Now even if season 2 has issues (I strongly hope and wish it happens) for some reason, this kind of gives closure to me. They are still closer to each other and I can happily live knowing this until S2 comes to life, if that can ever happen.

Wow, I wouldn't have noticed this if it wasn't for your comment. She looks so young..

I must be dumb as I didn't get how Zhao Xi's words in the restaurant imply that Li Jia / Pepper wanted Sheng Wang's attention or was crushing on him. I understood his words sort of implied something like this only after reading comments here😅.
Anyway, fingers crossed for tomorrow's episode..!!

Ep 3 was gone in a blink. Shiba kun's imaginations are crazy wild 😅. Their interactions in this episode weirdly felt heartwarming to me. It could be just me or my mood. It was also fun to keep guessing the true intentions behind Haruto's actions.
Anyway, I will be very excitedly looking forward to future episodes.

I too would like it please @chenggegge , Can't wait to read it..
