They are both surnamed Jian, so maybe same father / different mothers?

I'm getting the feeling that the relationship between JB's father and mother wasn't good, so maybe that messed up the sister from a young age, but still, the sister says she doesn't want love but she is hell bent on getting her sister a man?

When he talked about 'guiding her back to her true path' I was wtf? It makes it sound as if he thinks she is going out getting drunk & getting laid every night, and needs to be guided back to a 'decent' life. Mind you, as a divorced woman she would have every right to do those things and it would be nobody's business but hers.

I know they are completely different characters, but I like Sheng Yang way more than Dr Gu in OOL. SY seems so natural and personable. I know what you mean about XZ BEING SY, not just another version of himself. I notice many Chinese actors completely take on their roles, as opposed to eg Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise in every movie he makes.

I commented further down that SY has got the drive and talent and he wants to prove himself to be as good as JB and be a success in his career. He doesn't want to be her toyboy and live off her money. I hate that everyone else is assuming that he wants to use her, from the ex to her sister to his mother.

He's going to have even less means if he has to rent a place for himself. He has just started a fledgling business with no income yet, and the mother thinks the best way to help is to kick him out? He is going to end up in a worse flat than Song Chen's place. Unless he moves in with JB, but I don't see that happening at this point.

I didn't think the boy was as bad, but we've just seen him trying to push uncle to visit JB & her father at the hospital, giving the hospital location and everything. He has already seen JB with SY and admitted he knows JB doesn't like the uncle, so why this push again?

I know what you are getting at, but it is not nice to tell your son that he is not good enough. He has already shown his ambition to do well in life to catch up to JB, it's not like he wants to be her toyboy.

I'm older than the mother & she made me angry!

What is the deal with hockey boy still trying to convince his uncle to go to the hospital where JB's dad is? He has seen for himself that JB is with SY. He even said himself that he knew JB didn't like his uncle, so why is he still pushing it. BRAT!

I seriously hated the way she tried to undermine his self-confidence and faith in himself. That is a horrible thing to do to one of your children.

I've got down-time this afternoon, so I gave this some thought. Maybe they are only promoting Wu Xing Jian (hockey boy) but they need the girl there to give a plausible reason why he is part of the story, even if it is an unnecessary part of the story.

Irrelevant comment - I like Sung Dong Il as an actor, but by now he has played so many 'chief' roles - forest ranger, policeman etc, he should be eligible for a government pension when he retires...

I just looked up those actors. Jian Shuang's actress is only billed as a guest role, but Hao JunJie's actor is a support role? One must have a better agent than the other one...🤣

That's how I feel - like there are 2 scriptwriting teams. Some people have commented that the hockey kids are being promoted for future dramas. I don't know about hockey girl, but the boy is Xiao Zhan's replacement in JOL2.

You are right. There is much to love in this drama. If they had concentrated on Sheng Yang and Jian Bing's developing realtionship, kept it as a workplace drama, it would be excellent. The scenes of the design studios and the filming scenes, in fact showing all the creative processes they do is very good. The relationship of Pan Rou and Song Chen is a delight to watch develop. Sheng Yang's parents are a mix of excellent and equally annoying, but they are good characters. If they had tightened the script, cut out unneeded characters (looking at hockey trio), they would have had a tight, well told story in less than 30 episodes.

I beg to differ. You connect with a person by TALKING to them, not trying to force them into a relationship with someone they have no interest in.

She even told her sister that the sound of Fang's name gives her a headache. How clueless can hockey girl be??

The mother obsessing over dating apps seems out of place & shoehorned in to create tension. Surely no-one would be that insistent with someone who is barely a friend, an aquaintence at best. I know SY's mum wants to be friends, but it still seems overly pushy.

Whoever wrote their parts should not be allowed to write a script ever again. It is like we are watching 2 different shows - one really good, and one really bad. I mean at the end of ep 29 Jian Bing has gone to her room in a different section and clueless uncle is just standing outside, hanging around the gate to his own room??? I hope he freezes to death.
