I've spoke to some of you and some were good convos regarding the characters and some made me think of writing…
The more I appreciate opinions that are not rants, or even tantrums, but actually descriptive and constructive. Life is tough enough. When I see "too much" (tbh, the Chinese fandoms and fan culture can be super toxic and absolutely foul, similar to others like Korean and Japanese that I know of), if I don't have anything proper to give or support, I just pass by. The less ones pay attention to negativity, the faster it dies down.
Episode 14 is tight. The intimidation-on-the-bed scene (followed by the medicine drinking then bowl throwing) is the first highlight of the main couple, for me. They finally bare it all, instead of hiding, guessing and saying empty words. I think, this scene is key to their relationship development and probably one of the deciding factors for the casting of Meng jie. Her stiffness is the perfect fit here. Delectable.
I quite enjoy the second couple and their increased screen time in episodes 14 and 15. They are unique enough, yet not overpowering. They compliment the main couple but also serve as refresher, once in a while when the main gets... too much (for me).
The cases are interesting, but get solved too quickly, which makes the power struggle flimsy and weak. My stance on the leads being OP remains. Perfect/no-fault characters are a bore. So the fast pacing helps. Props to the screen writers, directors and crew.
I don’t get it either. I updated the release info as well so whenever staff approves it, it’ll be official.
My "thank you" is to you because I was waiting for the new schedule. I just wish Chinese dramas have full calendars in the get-go... And the "terrible" is to Tencent, although I doubt they ever see or care haha.
I noticed that first thing too. And not just ML, his entire brotherhood/family seems to have this in their DNA.…
I just skipped to the last episode of "Blossoms" haha. Luckily (I think?) I didn't have any interest for "Moli".
Oh, if you do, I think you've probably read classics like "InuYasha", "Basara" and "Emma" already. Have you read "Bambi to Dhole" or "A Perfect Day For Love Letters", "You and I Are Polar Opposites", "The Ramparts of Ice", "Lady & Oldman"? This one is a little bit old school and under the radar: "Fukuyadou Honpo".
(I really need to update and rate my comic list cause it took me a while to take some out.)

I hope it won't derail (like, for example, "Blossoms"). I just remember. Do you happen to read manga, or comics in general? I can definitely think of stories without simp MLs, or at least it's justified haha.
I wouldn’t characterise them as lovesick fools; rather, they are drawn to the idea of fighting among themselves.…
Interesting perspective! I think both can be true at the same time. This single-track mind that you described is prevalent in real life too. I think of it as a certain psychological trait, and sometimes, issue.
Another ML simp when are we going to get a break from Simp MLs.
I noticed that first thing too. And not just ML, his entire brotherhood/family seems to have this in their DNA. I think this trope has been too popular for quite some time now. Here's hoping for something new. Or at least try to throw something fresh, new in the blender. I'm still okay with the series so far. I think He Yu carries the character, most actors anyway. Quite decent this acting batch.
@ Charlie C : please provide an episode number and timestamp if you refer to something that is not clear for all.Like…
My bad. I thought he was more or less memorable being the aid/butler to Li Fei's dad and household. His name was only mentioned when Li Fei quickly returned to his dad's house after hearing his dad got into an accident (which wasn't the case). I heard "Jiang shu" or something, so I assume he is called "uncle Jiang".
There's a 3rd part too! 3. Because I love you, I become childishAfter Chairman Lee was discharged from the hospital,…
I see. Thank you for clarifying. I heard (was it from you?) that Jun Cheng was a spoiled, no good character in the novel too? I'm glad for this drama adaptation.

Looking forward to more and hope that it won't derail from good story-telling.
