So realistic I cried ?

As you might have seen in so many reviews, it’s realistic. At one point, I basically cried my eyes out. Many of these things really happen, including being laid off, competition, the love life it contains, etc, etc. One thing you REALLY need to know though, is that many things are based off real thoughts, feelings, etc, like biases towards males versus females and the idea that men are more capable than women.

Even though we’re in the 21st century, these thoughts still exist and survive.

After a few episodes, you’ll notice that there’s, spoilers, a third wheel. As Liu Yang is more “immersed in love” (as he thought), he became a bit abusive.

Those actions and words he had said and done reflect to things that CAN happen.

I’m not saying that all men are cheaters.
I’m not saying all women are gold diggers.
I’m not saying that ALL men are strong or more capable than women.
Im not saying ALL men are abusive.

No.

What I’m saying is that these things are true. As I watched Liu Yang slap Zhang Zhi Zhi across the face, I flinched. That slap basically slapped me too, with reality and how this drama is realistic.


MAJOR SPOILER FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVEN’T FINISHED THE DRAMA YET.

When Lei Hao Wen proposed to Gu Xiao Ling at the end, he was shocked. He said, “Now I’m the one whom you’d marry.” That’s interesting. He tricked someone so CLOSE to her, her stepsister, whom Xiao Ling loved so much, into losing all of that. Yet he still had the balls to continue to propose. That’s so interesting. After being rejected, reality slapped him. He was blinded by trying to get Xiao Ling to marry him that he barely even thought of anyone else.
