In the end I enjoyed the high school portion of the show more than the college/adult part. The time jumps seemed very random and awkward. Jiang Chen and Xiao Xi's progression to boyfriend and girlfriend was rushed, and honestly I didn't find it that believable. I know JC is very standoffish, but the show telling me they dated almost 4 years and never kissed (Since the kisses on the show were rather awkward too, it's probably a good thing there were so few) just didn't sell me on the romance. Then that ridiculous breakup, another time jump, and JC is back wanting to pick up were they left off. I did enjoy his attempts at wooing XX back minus that whole, "Apologize to me bit." Apologize for what, dude! That breakup wasn't just her fault, and the writers having her apologize like a good little girl ticked me off. Episode 23 managed to redeem the last half some for me. It was good to see them actually talking like adults, and the way they utilized the height difference between the leads to create cute moments was adorable. I also enjoyed getting a glimpse of the past from Jiang Chen's perspective since it made the relationship less one-sided. Overall a nice, quick, easy watch, I just wish I'd liked the last 4 episodes more.
Qiang Wei's constant harping about Qiang Da's supposed connection with Jingjing is getting on my nerves. The woman is dead. Being jealous now just seems petty and ridiculous. Also, while I'm ranting, Tie Bu Fan's dramatic rescue of Side from the oncoming car was an eye roller. Why do even smart drama characters have no peripheral vision or ability to look both ways before crossing a street?!
You guys might want to add an option for people to simply donate money if possible. You'd probably get more that way than simply going with a VIP plan only.
I'm one of the ones who didn't really enjoy a lot of Strong Woman, but that pairing was beyond adorable ( there really is no other word that fits so well)
Me at the end of 11, " Finally Li Zheng is going to admit he has feelings for Shao Xi!" After watching the episode 13 preview, " Why, why show do you do this to me." Looks like 13 will probably be an episode of angst leading up to some kind of reconciliation in 14 or 15.
Majo no Jouken was one of the first teacher/student relationship dramas I watched. So much angst in that drama. I think it was more disturbing to me in a way because the leads were almost the same age as their drama counterparts so the age gap was very obvious. Not a fan of the theme overall, but I thought the drama was well done for the most part. Years later I still haven't decided what I think of the ending though.
I'm still enjoying this drama but 10 episodes in it feels like the plot is just rehashing the same thing over and over. Time to get some forward momentum.
Attention, Love episode 8: So funny how different Shao Xi's parents reactions are to the news Shao Xi and Li Zheng got into the same university. Shock and elation for SX and confusion and disappointment for LZ. Li Zheng must have applied to any university he thought Shao Xi might get into.
I've seen half of these. Bromance especially had me shaking my head a lot, but I couldn't stop watching. Megan and Baron had such strong chemistry they kept me sucked in the whole crazy ride.
Thoughts on the final episode. I wish Zhao Yu and Kia Jia had gotten together a little sooner. Because the last episode was centered on Ruby we barely got to see them as a couple. I didn't mind the ending. Maybe Jun Ren and Ruby will be able to work at last without the pressure from family or money. Overall I enjoyed this drama even if it did go around in circles sometimes.
Man, I knew Jun Ren was cold and heartless, but the way he gave those divorce papers to Ruby in the end was a true dick move. He's totally reverted to the person he was in the first episode. On the plus side, I'm happy Kia Jai and Zhao Yu finally got together.
