sai

Definitely an unpopular opinion, but idk I dont understand the kiss. Don't get me wrong, they have had amazing, intense chemistry from the moment they met but I'm struggling to find the background behind the romance almost..? Sanho looks at Munju very intensely all the time of course, but I don't get why he's so drawn to her. It's not like Sanho was indifferent about the job then grew feelings over time, he was like that from the very beginning. Like what about her specifically is so different compared to all the others you've protected, give us a reason!! And Munju never particularily showed any attraction to him either, other than weirdly trusting him from the moment they met yet saying she doesn't. Idk. I feel like their relationship could have developed a bit more first

I think for the most part this season's cast of participants seem to be very genuine people in terms of romance. Though there were some rocky moments, it doesn't seem like anyone is leading anyone on. Lanlan clearly has no romantic feelings for Jiao, but she's appreciative of his ways and she treats him respectfully while also not seeking him out. Chichi has also expressed to Zihan that she's leaning more towards someone else, but she's also open to getting to know him and giving him a chance. And Zihan has the perfect balance of expressing his interest but not putting too much pressure. Yuhang & Lechen, though they are more introverted and it took some courage to get there, eventually did firmly but politely reject Yifan & Jue/Ailin.
It may not be the strongest season in terms of love, but I've enjoyed watching it for the people themselves. Ailin is definitely one of my favorite participants ever, she's a wonderful person that is so in tune to who she is as a person and spreads so much positivity in the cabin.

ruilong :((((

ok episode 3 just sealed it for me i am obsessed!! the chemistry between the leads is insane

I don't really get why the mother-in-law suddenly decided to help Munju, was it really for all the assets?

I believe that exaggerated response would not have been there if he was still interested in her. This is pure assumption of course, but I think in that whole date himself he had already subconsciously set his heart on Luyuan, so he somehow was trying to find every difference he has with Ailin to distance himself. Because let's be real, Ailin sharing that she considers marriage/kids from the moment she's interested in someone is a very normal thing. That's a woman who is very serious about her relationship. Something a 'stable' person would do in fact. I think the fact that it came out of Ailin's mouth is what warranted that response. He was subconsciously trying to push her away.

Wow I'm surprised they actually got Western actors that both speak like regular Americans and act decently too

But Ailin has told him to his face that she's the type that needs to be directly rejected. I think after her moment with Jue she has also understood his intentions but a conversation between them is inevitable anyway

She ended up single but trust me, if you watch the drama she's better off that way

Despite already spoiling myself with this week's Ailin-Lechen situation, I found myself crying with Ailin & Jue in that one scene. I think it's just more heartbreaking because DouDou is truly the sunshine of the group, she gives so much energy and positivity to everyone all the time that it's weird to see her in any other mood. She has such a big impact on the group that the moment she was a little more quiet in the family dinner, a bunch of people like Jiao, Jue, Long, & Luyuan noticed. It's just more painful to see the always happy & bright person breakdown into tears. Even more upsetting knowing she's on the receiving end of someone who isn't willing to properly communicate and is purposefully avoiding her. I feel frustrated for her. I get that he did send some signs but the way their relationship was developing, where it was definitely mutual attraction for a decent while, she absolutely deserves a direct conversation and rejection. This is not the type of scenario where their connection can end by Lechen simply avoiding her.

This is such an insignificant thing but hearing the Single's Inferno background music threwww me off lmao (during the big meal with the women relatives)

With the friend situation, she explained that she figured the friend had something going on and that's why she only kept requesting every few months. She didn't say she didn't accept rejection. After all, this friend was stated to be very close to her before college. Doudou said she would have backed off if the friend straight up rejected her, but that never happened, and now they're back to being friends so clearly Doudou's actions did no harm. For avoidant people it may have been too much, but for some they may just pull away from people while struggling but secretly wish someone would check on them. If the friend stated their reasons told her to stop contacting, she would have.
Also, does she need a proper reason to like him? He's clearly attractive, and she seems to enjoy their interactions, and that's why she's pursuing him. Never once did she describe him as something he's not.

I honestly prefer Doudou over Yuan but you can't deny that Yuan is definitely Lechen's favourite out of the two right now. Both women seem like great people so I'm not upset. Viewers need to stop with fanwars over real human beings that are more complex than just the 1hr screentime we get each episode. The love square is a little frustrating because Chichi and Yuxing clearly prefer each other rather than the two others that are also involved, but due to Yuxing's ambiguous moves, Chichi is feeling doubtful. Either way I am almost certain Yuxing won't pick Yifan in the end, he just seems too timid to actually reject her.

I think the Doudou-Lechen-Yuan love triangle is definitely going to end up with LeYuan as endgame. I could feel it from the moment the two of them went on the train date. They both emotionally connected on a level that clearly made an impact. Not only that, Lechen wrote Yuan's name on the date card first and didn't even write Ailin's yet despite Ailin being "first" in terms of how long they've pursued him. And in the latest eps it's even more obvious. Doudou is completely different to him, but they're able to have a great time together and that's what attracted him to her in the first place. But thinking long term, their personalities aren't compatible enough for him. Whereas Yuan is comparably less hyper but she matches Lechen's wavelength and they are very similar in personality and temperament, and are able to have deeper conversations. Which is pretty much exactly what he's looking for.

Yu Nian no longer has a father in the new timeline because Tang Yixun didn't go to jail and meet her biological father like he originally did, so he doesn't know about her existence and thus never adopted her.

Now that you mention it, there is a possible plot hole since in the first episode, we could see original Tang Yixun waiting by the mailbox for a long time for a letter. So there must have been letters in the original timeline too. But to be fair, the original timeline would have been the same without the letters since the future kids couldn't even warn them about anything until the very end.

this drama is like if better days was in a time travel mystery genre because the leads' characters are so alike (delinquent caught up in the wrong crowd and always getting in fights, outcasted bullied schoolgirl who just wants to graduate highschool to escape her current situation)

I'm watching When Destiny Brings the Demon along with this and wow the two completely different voice dubs for Yinglu's characters are so jarring

cute film. it's like the happy ending version of 20th century girl, and the ml was in both films lol

I've only watched s6 & 7 from this show, but for the most part i think it was obvious which couples had a stronger foundation on the show vs who didn't. Depending on how sincere their conversations were and the topics they talked about. Obviously right now we don't even have any decently formed couples to even make a judgement of but i do have bets on certain pairings in certain love triangles, we'll see lol
