I’m watching because I have nothing else to watch at this time. It’s a slow and draggy plot with a second…
Although taking out the second couple would improve it very much, I dont think they're the only issue. I'm all in for slow burn (I mean, I have watched Story of Minglan thrice lol), but the script is just sooooo dull. It's like there's no development ever
Hahaha.... i can understand why some ppl think that so. Most affected ratings for this drama is due to 2nd CP.…
I don't think the second couple is the only problem, even the leads get me bored. But it is true it would be better if not for the waste of time on the second couple. I also don't see anything new in this drama. I've watched too many romances and romcoms, all of these plots and characters are common in these genres. Even so, they managed to make it sooooo boring. I mean, an I-will-make-him-love-me-and-then-break-his-heart is so common and it's usually such a fun plot, how did they make it so tedious?? Esther acting as her celebrity persona isn't anything new, too. Bubble female characters are everywhere and I've known Esther since before her debut, so watching her being all cutesy is no big news.
when do the leads got together?Any breakups?How's the romance?SPOIL ME...........
She sends him a letter when they were college students but was stood up. They meet again years later, when she's a beauty blogger that hides her identity as a smart but "ugly" country girl, and he is a famous botanist. He doesnt recognizes her and she plans to make him fall in love to break his heart like how he did to her. Both end up falling in love. She find out he never got her letter at the time. He leaves the country without saying goodbye or leaving a message. He comes back later decided to get her, but she's still heartbroken. I still havent watched what comes next but pretty sure he'll pursue, she will forgive and they'll get together. Anyways, this all is done in the most boring note ever, I watch every episode almost sleeping.
Your last two points are things I love about iQIYI and what makes me wish all my favs work with them. Even their modern dramas have great photography. They're a feast for the eyes
I heard they gonna modify some controversial (?) parts tho 🤔
I have no idea, I saw some rumors mentioning it but not specifying. I've read the book and my guess is they will take out the part about both being smokers as adults and teens, her learning smoking from him and them having s*x when teenagers.
