I'm Team Second Male lead, Shen Fuxuan has my heart, not because the male lead is competitive, even I would be competitive if I can be around such a genius but He feels like someone who wants to be "Special", rather than just being Smart. He has that Obsession of Being the best that he cannot let go, like others want to be Good at studying, they have interest in studying but the Jiang Yubai is more interested in being at the same level as her. It's a personal take but, I don't really like that category, Competitiveness is good, The ambition and passion towards your goals look so cool on and off screen but Obsession Towards Winning is quite Petty, you can see the similarities between Him Bai Hui and him in such cases, Jin Bai Hui wants to be the Best even though she has no interest in the subject,Jiang Yubai is similar in that but only difference is that Jin Bai Hui is More obsessed to the point she will push you off just to win, her moral compass is on lower end.

Lin Zhixia and Lin Zeqiu are step siblings?

I Normally, never really cry but this show hit so hard. As a Adhd patient, I always had it difficult to fit in, I was a Jack of all trade but definitely master of none. I had to Fake my personality, act excited when I'm not, and hide my competitiveness to the point now I have no motivation, I could relate to her, especially when she says I tried so hard to fit in and make friends.

I do envy her for having such a good brother, in my case, my sibling is never on my side when I need them the most, they are never there for me if I'm in danger or sick. At least her sibling understands her struggle, it must be difficult for him to live with a genius and being compared to all their life but he is still on her side.

I think it's because of timelines, See, 2 -3 years he was in that golden triangle, and they showed in the drama he has suffered from PTSD due to it, and from last 3 years he is taking a therapy for it. It would be weird to show him be all normal and date when they have put a Trauma and PTSD in the story. A person with PTSD Would be reluctant to be close to anyone.


FYI , even I don't like the part that one dates and the other doesn't. But logically it did make sense timeline wise.

I swear, If I ever find a kid like Chen yi,I will definitely do my best to protect him. A life from start to end with no happiness is miserable, A Kid, who deserves A decent life , if not happy isn't much, atleast during childhood, but this kid was hated, Beaten, tortured 1/4th his life, if such a person exist, his body might give up on him soon.that makes me question God, why give such a miserable life, Not that we ask for this life.

I know that's why I loved the show, just that the chemistry was a bit lacking for me in that show, obviously because they didn't focus on it and it was a show that was relatable for me on a personal level

I was bored in amidst the snow storm. The royal princess is Zhang linghe one, the historical one, where they travel back in time. But, Reborn is good too, just that I felt the male lead had no role, the main focus was just her fighting against her family and society to live as a girl.

The Alien drama was good because I read the novel, and I know the story isn't about aliens but the ancient myths in China, about goddess of creation Nv hua who created humans also created the Owls ( The aliens). The novel has more depth, in the show however due to Chinese laws, they become aliens, compared to all the other things written by this author, this is the best one, the seven relics of Ill omen was bad, atleast after 20th episode I was done,

But if I have recommend an actress with Alot of good shows in her discography it's Sun Qian, she has never once disappointed me,I have accidentally watched 4 shows by her and all 4 were a solid 8. Love story in 1970 is definitely good but apart from that Love song in winter? Something similar , it was good too like 7-8, it has few loopholes but then I watched The guilty ( this one broke me, All the 3 main actors were so good), I feel bad that apart from Sun Qian the other 2 actors aren't famous at all, I have never seen them. The last was Wind direction, this was also a nostalgic grounded show.

I agree, SWL can be flat but he is good with action scenes. Even I didn't find him that cool in shine on me as much as the hype, it was ok but his recent another drama some eternal fragrance is definitely bad, I couldn't get past episode 1, this one is pretty decenct watch, atleast the 2 years of him being missing is keeping me on hook, But the female lead can be flat too, i loved her drama reborn , but I felt she didn't have much chemistry in that drama ( may be because it wasn't focused on romance), dilraba has chemistry, in dramas where the plot isn't romance focused, like love on turquoise land, she and Cheng xingxu definitely had good chemistry, with Arthur, I have only watched one drama and it's my Favourite cdrama Love story in 1970s, it's the most grounded drama I have ever watched, with Zhao zinmai,. watch her drama Royal princess that one is decent like 7/10.

I watched My journey to you, she was good but I couldn't concentrate, the expressions of Zhang ling he and Cheng lei were hilarious. I have no idea why the director wanted such an exaggerated expression but that drama made even decent actors look like they are in a daily soap. And after 16 episodes, it went downhill, all thanks to the writer

When I say fans have "Type Casted", I mean, most of the times, all her "Cute" role drama has been most well received, speed and love ( it was a literal fan service , you can clearly see, Director is only interested in making the leads look good but the background is not even well edited), My journey to you is her only serious role, unfortunately it didn't get the hype of speed and love also, the writer really messed up in between and the expression of Zhang linghe and Cheng lei in that drama was hilarious, I couldn't concentrate (Normally they are decent actors, no idea what was wrong), Love game in eastern fantasy is really well written, love between devil and fairy was good too and she has acted well, but you can literally see, out off all her discography, she has only 1 serious role, isn't that type casting to a cute, bubbly character? Because it matches her idol persona, so those are the roles that she is offered, And in this drama also she is a bubbly character with a tragic past but they have toned it down a little, still she is on the cute side. It is because, the fans always view her as a Cute Little Girl, it's similar to the Actress in Go ahead drama, even she is type casted for certain roles, it's sad that they never get to show their full potential. Even Yang Zi was almost type casted for Cute Dumb Character, until she did switch up.

I have watched all the episodes till today, but I'm feeling it's too slow paced for me. The mystery isn't even raveling in a engaging manner. And I feel, Esters fan have literally Type casted her, I know she has a "Cute" Concept for her idol persona, and it works for certain drama like love game In eastern fantasy, I really liked her in that but at this point, I feel as soon as any Cute female lead is needed, they just pull ester and never let her go to a rather serious, mysterious or rather mean girl characters at all. I would love to see her as psychopath or in any thriller series. The type caste is so strong that even if the drama doesn't demand her to be cute, she is pushed to be cute just to get traffic for her dramas. I mean, even if the director doesn't do that, I guess they can still get views. It's like watching the same drama over and over again.

Thank you for letting me know, because in the first episode itself it looked like his face was pasted on him. Now I know why....
Because of one guy entire drama has to suffer.

Literally looks like he is possessed, the AI work is definitely bad

I have just started watching this, but I want to know is there some mishaps with the second male lead (Wang rou hai)? It looks as if his face was pasted on a different body. From front and from back angle it looks different for some reason, even when he is talking to her, it looks like he is looking at the void , can he see ghosts?

I think she meant Dad left me, like he left her alone in this world, now even her mother is doing the same. In the series they aren't telling us where did the debt start from, it's frustrating to think that a 17 year old has to deal with this

So his feelings were just infatuation. Even though eunjae was a bit tiring in season 2, I still felt bad for her. Thanks for telling me

That's true, compared to him atleast she experienced love even though it was short lived, but the debt that they have, was that due to her mother? Or was it due to her father's illness

In the high school part, I felt more like Kids trying to imitate adults, the desperation to grow up, I could feel that, but yeah the romance was there, until the chapter where lu Xixiao gets to know he was used and was ok with it, that's where I felt, he really was lonely. it felt like he was holding on to the one person that he has finally got in his life, it's like Finally God has bestowed a piece of bread to a man who hadn't had food in years. He can't savour it in an instant, because he doesn't know if the next piece will ever come, so he will hold on to it with all his life. Ofcourse, you are right in your perspective too, this was just a feeling of mine, I can definitely be over analysing it.

Her mother was more impulsive and irrational, so she appeared dumb in the novel, she just wanted money. Her plan was rather simple she just wanted to marry and if something goes wrong then get the alimony, also she kept in touch with Zhou Wan as well, to keep her mouth shut till she marries, so every now and then she would meet her and give her like 50 yuan , she would literally announce her plan in the mall with her friends, so she could be outsmarted, while in the drama, it's like she is cruel to the extreme. She is manipulative, has actual plans of staying in Lu family for a long time. So definitely Zhou Wan cannot win against her.

The trauma bonding in the sense, only she understood him and his extreme ways of life.
He did take the knife, in the novel, he says he did it so that she can stay, even if it means through guilt, later when they meet again, he makes it in a way that he hates her and wants to get back at her, use her too, like a payback, because he knew if he said he still likes her she wouldn't go to him, because of that promise to his grandpa. That tattoo too, also in the novel the make out was described as Zhou Wan wanted to use the most extreme method to make it up to him as much as possible (not sure if this is a mistranslation).

That's why the initial relationship felt more psychological, with people so broken. Later by the end, it felt like Romance to me. When they actually grow.
