Asian Land of Pristine Beaches & Friendly Folks
Replying to Megumi-H • Jul 12, 2023
After a few years of watching C drama, I realised the C ent./industry, C social media platform, can be very toxic.…
I also notice the toxicity, that's why I rarely check weibo and other Chinese social media platforms when it comes to Chinese dramas and actors/actresses. I only check them every once in a while if I want to find out more or watch some videos, or find out ratings of dramas.

Who is this fl. Why have i never seen her before. She is gorgeous. Does she have any other drama?
She is in "Oh My General" too, playing the role of Liu Xi Yin, the cousin of General Ye Zhao (played by Sandra Ma). That's her first drama. Check it out if you have time, I highly recommend it :).

Good turning point in episode 16! I like the idea that they're getting to know each other again, and in a way, the scene where they shook hands and said "Nice meeting you" symbolizes it. The demo scene towards the end is funny, such as the medical team's (all girls) eagerness to "try" the step that XQ did 😄.

Sorry, just want to ask a question. Where do you all watch this? I saw there's an iQiyi one from the details above…
I'm watching it on Viu :) and yes, for each platform, it is available in certain countries only. The info is found in one of the forum threads above.

This drama has one of the best characters build up. You clearly see how their past affected their present and…
Same sentiment! There is great character development here, which makes the story build-up even more exciting.

I'm liking and enjoying this drama a lot :)! It's a story of second chance romance that gradually builds up, such that I'm anticipating and excited for the character development and progress of the story. I can already see the chemistry between YY and WCR. And I have to say this: love the drunken confession scene in ep 10! IMO, Wang Chu Ran was able to show all the angst, frustrations and pain that she had bottled up inside. I actually rewatched that scene before starting on ep 11. Looking forward to eps 13 and 14 later! That's the downside of watching a drama that is airing/not completely released - it's a waiting game, and I can only binge-watch a few episodes at a time (but this can also be good because it's like a control when I have other things to do) 😄.

You're not alone! I'm liking and enjoying it a lot :) . It's a bit of a slow burn, 2nd chance romance, and I'm anticipating the build-up. As I expected, there are side stories related to their professions, but the drama does not deviate from the main story.

Saw the trailers in Youtube, the drama looks interesting. So I'm watching this in Viu, finished 3 episodes last night. So far so good, I like it :) . Since I just finished "Here We Meet Again" recently, when I see Vin Zhang here, I can't help but think of Xu Yan Shi 😃.

Thanks for the info :)! I think I missed that, or just didn't notice it. Do you still remember in what episode this was shown?

Title Here We Meet Again Spoiler
I just finished this drama yesterday. This is a romantic comedy that is fun, light and entertaining to watch :)!…
Xu Yan Shi's mother appeared towards the end of the series, when XYS requested her to help Xiang Yuan's company, meaning she has the financial means to do so. It was also mentioned in an earlier episode that she has a successful career abroad. This shows that XYS was in touch with her somehow. Does this mean that he was in constant communication with his mother? If so, when he needed to pay Chen Shan/Wei Lin for the breach that happened while in university (which was not really his fault), why didn't he ask her for help? Or they just started keeping in touch when he was already working? Thanks for any info. I might have missed this.

I just finished this drama yesterday. This is a romantic comedy that is fun, light and entertaining to watch :)! There is great chemistry between Vin Zhang and Janice Wu (they have many kissing and romantic scenes), and they were able to bring their characters, Xu Yan Shi and Xiang Yuan, to life. There were some misunderstandings between them, but the good thing is, these did not last long. I agree with the comment that there is some push and pull between the leads. The drama also showed relationship dynamics and happenings in the workplace, both good and bad, the realistic and unrealistic ones. I find the industry that the drama focused on, i.e., satellite navigation technology, quite interesting, so I did not get bored in the scenes where they talked about it. It's good that the drama also showed friendships and family relationships (although not perfect). Lastly, I like the OST, especially the opening and ending themes - they're quite catchy! Overall, this is a good drama for me :).

I have some questions that I'm tagging as a spoiler below. Maybe someone knows the answer? Thank you!

He has that reputation, as the summary says, he is "...pampered, lazy and spends his time on 'useless' artistic pursuits." He pursues pleasure and the finer things in life. He's not exactly pretending, but more of, he didn't pursue bigger, more worthy goals in life and didn't think he can make a difference, that is, until Ye Zhao came into his life. His character grew a lot throughout the series. It was not an overnight change, but rather a process.

Go and watch this, don't hesitate! :)

I struggle with this genre but this sounds like something I might enjoy ♡
Agree! Mika and Xing Ke Lei have one of the healthiest romantic relationships in C-drama land. Imo, their interactions as a couple are very natural and authentic :).

Title Oh My General Spoiler
So I finished this drama yesterday, and I have the same sentiment as when I was half-way into the series: I like…
Here are my wishlist for the ending:
1) When I started this drama, I already knew that the ending will show them as grandparents. I was hoping/expecting that Sandra Ma and Peter Sheng will still play the old Ye Zhao and Zhao Yujin (made to look older, of course). Turns out that her grandparents were the ones who played their older versions. How sweet!
2) It would be good if they showed the family's reactions to her pregnancy, especially her mother-in-law.
3) I wish they showed the couple during their early years of parenthood, how they raised their kids, their family interactions, etc.

But that's Ok, the drama's still good overall :).

So I finished this drama yesterday, and I have the same sentiment as when I was half-way into the series: I like and enjoyed it! :) It has romance, comedy, action, themes of loyalty and courage, and heart-touching moments. Most of the story arcs are really good, but a few are just so-so for me. I love the chemistry between Sandra Ma and Peter Sheng and their portrayal of Ye Zhao and Zhao Yujin, respectively. They nailed their roles! I like how they both grow and develop throughout the series. Most of the other characters also gave good performances. I like Hu Qing/Fox, Qiu Shui, Qiu Hua, Emperor Ren Zong, Noble Consort Zhang, and the sisters-in-law of Yujin and Ye Zhao. Mei Niang, Xuan Er and Xiao Xia Zi are a funny trio, but all loyal to Yujin and Ye Zhao. I was conflicted about the mother-in-law (although she was funny), but her character grew as well, especially in the 2nd half.

I love the OST! And I'm glad that the story ended on a happy note. I do have additional comments about the ending in the spoiler below.

Overall, it's a fun and enjoyable ride! It's worth watching the 60 episodes :).
