Considering if I should watch it. but "what really takes a while is for her to forgive him irl" makes me not want to see it. Im so sick of every asian romance making ML do something bad so then FL gets to be mad for several episodes until she finally forgives him. So tired of this.
I understand more girls watch these shows, but Im really tired of girls guilty pleasure moments.

- The first episodes are a bit of a mess of flashbacks and flashforwards. But we learn that in the future they are married, in the past they were deskmates and somewhere in the middle they separated.
- In one of those flashes we learn that FL did something bad towards him, we dont know what yet
- After the flashes stop happening and the story picks up in highschool, the show starts being good in my opinion
- They quickly start having interest in one another and not much later are inseparable.
- They arent very flirty or anything, since ML seems to almost be autistic at this point
- Around episode 11: ML plans to go to Britain to study after highschool, and asks FL to go with him. (they are not a couple, but very close). She says yes.
- They start planing and she starts studying a lot, since she needs high grades
-Episode 13: FLs father is shot (he is a policeman) and is badly injured. FL decides to not go to Britain and stay helping him
- She starts avoiding ML without explaining anything. ML eventually finds out, and starts planing alternatives. For her to go later for example or to study in china but do some exchange in britain.
- FL keeps ignoring him, until at one point ML declares his love infront of other classmates but she rejects him and walks away.
- so he goes abroad and she stays. They dont have any contact at all. for years. She once visits the place where he stays for one day, and they almost cross paths, but nope.
- he is missing her and waiting for her to call him. She is also missing him but, no idea why she doesnt call
- Many years pass (9?) and they meet in their hometown
- They keep having contact but he is mad with her and doesnt want to talk much. She does want to talk with him, but doesnt want to talk about what happened, which seems to be what he is expecting.
- After some interactions like that one, he moves to Beijin to start a business
- Not long after she finally decides she wants to go back with him more than anything else, so she leaves her job and everything behind and moves to beijin after him.
- because of a common friend, she ends up working in his company
- They keep it cold, but with small warm gestures bnetween them, until one day she confesses she came to beijin because of him
- He kisses her and they get together (EP 24)
- In episode 28 some big problems happen to their company and the show turns kind of boring for me
- They start focusing on those problems, leads even separate because ML doesnt want it to affect FL.... blablabla
- In episode 32 they get back together. it wasnt an angsty breakup, even tho they sometimes called it with that name, it was clear to everytbody including them that it was just temporary. but still, unnecessary and boring
- in ep34 he "proposes" and in 35 they marry

Just finished it. I enjoyed it quite a lot and I would recommend it for people who like lighthearted romances. I still will say some bad parts it had for me:

1. During the first episodes, we see several flashforwards to their life as a married couple. I found those terrible. Every single of those scenes were FL wanting to do or buy something, ML coldly saying no, and FL pouting about it. That's it. That didnt create much expectations fo them getting together

2. At around episode 28 or 29, I dont know if the scriptwriters changed or what, but the show became pretty bad for me.

3. Whats wrong with the lightning of this show? They often use some bright white light that doesnt let you see well.

Nonetheless, I would still recommend it, not as an amazing show, but as an entertaining one.

Romance recap below

Well... I think you can find a better one, but go on, give it a try.

I guess you already saw it, in case you didnt, it's on episode 10

Yeah, Im sure anybody reading my comments and yours would say its me whining. Just check who is raging. You almost seem to be salivating in anger while typeing.
IMO, ML wasnt bad, but bland, and she wasnt great, but good.
See what I wrote, IMO (in my opinion), now check what you wrote... so entitled.

You are raging so much about something that is subjective, that I can only think about 2 possibilities.

1. You somehow know this girl from some other movie or whatever, and already hated her, thats why you are making a ruckus about it.
2. Or you are a girl drooling over ML and that's why you are raging when reading he was just meh.

you are not giving any argument at all. "your argument is invalid because since you disagree with me you show you have no idea" is not only not an argument, it shows you have 0 reasoning skills.
I am not giving many arguments either, true, but that's because I only watched the show one time over a year ago, so I cant give you details so long after.
anyway, just reading your absulitly entitled "arguments" shows it makes no sense to have a discussion with you. you just think anybody disagreeing with you is not only wring, but deserves being talked harshly. you must be a gem of a person

And you go get some good manners. And some clue, since you don't know what you are talking about. I haven't seen a single show of that actress except this one, neither before this show, nor after. So this is the only show I've seen from her. I have no obsession at all, actually she is not even close to my top actors. but this was a regular, yet entertaining show, and I think she was one of the better parts of it. can't remember exactly since I watched it a long time ago, but I think ML was just the typical "Im just cold and cool", ML, which requires 0 array of emotions to display

mmh sadly I can't remember and I'm not at home to check. it is not close to the end. I'd say in episode 12

What?? I can't believe it. I may watch the drama just because of this comment. Every asian drama has the opposite trope, I never saw FL having to work on getting ML back after doing something wrong.

I just finished the show. It is indeed not an angsty or annoying breakup. But I dont think you can not call it a breakup.

I havent watched this show, Im just.. perplex about this comment. So, bad reviews should never exist? You should not watch a drama if it turns out you end up dislikeing it? You cant write about it because it's.... wasting time?
Im really at a loss of words with this weird.... perception about reviews

"so you're telling me she feels nautious and still walks over to cross the road"

wth are you talking about. When I read this I thought she would be driving or something. She is just feeling bad and crosses a crosswalk, and just happens to collapse in that moment.

Some people are almost funny to watch judging characters decissions after already knowing the outcome. Yeah, after seeing she collapsed in that moment you can proudly say "she did wrong", congratulations, genious

Going to start this drama altho I usually skip shows with a breakup. But I was told this one is very good even with the breakup.

Can somebody please spoil in what episodes the breakup happen?

sure, here it is

Many romance shows should learn from this one how to make both leads equally loving. Looking at you "Love like the galaxy", where so many girls say "its such an amazing romance...". No, that's a romance for girls guilty pleasure.

Romance recap

- ML likes her since the start
- You could say they get really together in episode 7
- Like I said above, it's a bit onesided. ML does so much for her and treats her so good and she still needs a lot of convincing.
- After episode 7 they dont have a breakup, but one time she spends a few nights away because he supposedly kept a secret from her (it's bullshit, she had the same secret and didnt say anything either). But we know every drama likes to have ML apologizing to FL

Just finished it

1. It's pretty good
2. I read several comments saying they forget about the revenge at some point and nothing happens to the bad guys.... Did we watch the same show?
3. The romance is a bit onesided, ML has to do everything. Not as bad as in love like the galaxy, but I still would have liked FL doing more on her part.

Show must be really good if somebody like you hates it so much

This comment made me not start the drama. Other comments say its bad, but this description fits what I hate. Im so tired of romance dramas always making ML do something were FL is mad at them. SO this one that says FL falls first sounded good. But ofc not, he does a rude rejection aaaand here we are again, FL mad at ML for who knows how long. Always the same
