In the live stream of their engagement party on Oct 7th 2024, they said they would be husband and wife on the 9th and go right back to work shooting for a show. In another live stream on Oct 10th, they confirmed that they got their legal marriage certificates. Also mentioned they were thinking of holding their wedding ceremony in about a year. :)
I'm glad your question prompted me to look because I like this pairing too, and it seems they have at least one more drama together. Chinesemov.com tends to have more vertical dramas listed for actors (than MDL), though there is a lag with newer releases and there's less info (like they don't give synopsis). Still, they list native names as well as English, which you can copy and paste into YouTube to search. Currently (as of 10/12/24), the only other drama on Chen Si's page that's with Yu Yin is: https://tv-1.chinesemov.com/tv/2024/Cleaning-for-a-Company I don't currently see it on YouTube, but it may be shared in the future.
I believe the actor is Zhang PeiBao (he's not on MDL yet).A YouTube playlist of some of his dramas:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR_kD1OvdvkKFGmzLxTJpIpLifSA7_Plx&si=YNkggivVBHfLZCK6
Thank you for the correction, I've updated my notes! :) I can't find the actual name of this actor when searching this title on YouTube or on Weibo, and I just scoured through all the comments too, bummer :(
Finally , one non toxic mini drama. I really like this one. 😍🥰
If you like non-toxic I highly recommend Heartbeat Deviation (also a vertically filmed drama). It's a heartwarming and realistically grown romance with a fantastic lead couple. It has a slow burn feel but with many butterfly-inducing moments, and was very satisfying. Here's the MDL page: https://mydramalist.com/775573-heartbeat-deviation In a spoiler-hidden comment, Jwells shared multiple youtube links for it.
7.5/10 A vertically filmed micro drama (I rate these on their own sliding scale).
Good for one watch. The lead actors are fantastic with good chemistry, and the gently blooming romance is very sweet. Both lead characters are smart, moral, competent, strong, and likeable. The ML also gives the FL the benefit of the doubt from the beginning, yay! The kids aren't written like real children of any age, let alone 5 years old, but overall the family dynamic is adorable. The basic plot is a frequently used one, but the production does adjust some things so it's mostly enjoyable (there is a typical deranged SFL and I'm just getting so tired of those, lol). I did fast-forward through some of the scheming side characters. The ending feels a bit rushed but is cute.
I'm not great at synopsis summaries, but I'll give it a go: ML is drugged at a hotel, FL goes to sleep with someone to save her mother but enters the wrong dark room, after she leaves the SFL slips into place and pretends to be the one the ML took advantage of to make him be "responsible" for her. 5 years later, the FL comes back to China with twins. She and the ML start running into each other, then working together, and grow feelings for each other. Neither of them recognize the other from before, but everyone notices there's this kid that looks an aweful lot like the CEO...
See the comment by Jwells below. They listed a couple youtube links in their "spoiler" comment. The English translation is mediocre, but better than some. Enjoy!
I was thinking the same thing, somewhere on the autism or Asperger’s spectrum. I read some other comments on…
Definitely. Taishin's worries about others finding him annoying was really realistic for a neurodivergent who has difficulty reading other people, and it's sadly warrented given how many viewers had little patience for trying to understand him.
I'm going to have to reduce reading up on all the comments because there's so much vitriol aimed at Taishin; it's rather depressing to see such strong intolerance for a character that's different than many are familiar with.
(Reposting to spread awareness) To me, Taishin was obviously neurodivergent, not just "a country bumpkin" or stupidly naive. Taishin exhibited many autistic traits (listed below) and was a great representation of a neurodivergent mind. The screenplay doesn't point it out or discuss it though, so I can understand why this is missed by those who are unfamiliar with it.
The way Taishin follows, approaches, and interacts with Takara makes sense when viewed as Takara becoming a special interest for him (a rough definition of special interest is a long-term fascination). Taishin is candid and straightforward and divulges more than most people would in situations (not having much sense of filtering), doesn't have a good sense of boundaries, has great confusion about dynamics between people and with romantic feelings, difficulty naming or categorizing his own feelings, has difficulty regulating emotions and crying when both sad and happy, mentally overwhelmed easily, slower thought and speech patterns, spinning thoughts, unable to discern hidden or false intentions, has special interests of birds and plants (knowing lots of names and facts about them), and his pet bird was as important as a family member.
