Shine On Me
Song Weilong - Lin Yusen
Zhao Jinmai - Nie Xiguang
Off the first episode, the visuals are giving. Zhuang Xu as the 2nd lead, Nie Xiguang as the FL and Lin Yusen as the ML. What a trio. Zhao Jinmai is gorgeous, Zhuang Xu is the first time that I’ve seen Lai Weiming act so I’m excited for that, and Song Weilong never disappoints. All 3 of their face cards are insane. But, I have to spotlight Lin Yusen. When he showed up at that job expo and heard Nie Xiguang’s name and got interested in her, his face is just pure beauty. Song Weilong in a suit is just *chef’s kiss.
Lin Yusen, can u please meet Nie Xiguang already? It’s been 3 whole episodes and right now, Zhuang Xu is the only man for Xiguang. Bro Rongrong annoyed me so much. Anyone with eyes can tell that she’s just jealous. She needs to be put in her place, as she was never a good friend to start out with.
Finally, on episode 5, they met. Tell me why I’m hooked on Lin Yusen. From the first 30 minutes of him being the GM of the Suzhou branch, I can tell that he is a good boss and I love that. Aside from the romance, he genuinely cares for the company and the employees. I have a theory that he moved Nie Xiguang over to administration because she works directly under him now, not to punish her but actually to help her and care for her. He heard that she was going to get a bad rep with the finance department, so he secured her job under him and now has direct watch over her. I also think that all his time spent in the archives cannot all be for work. There’s no way he’s spending an hour in that filing room everyday just for the job, I think he secretly wants to know more about Nie Xiguang.
Aww…how cute. I’ve been loving their relationship in these early episodes (finished episode 9). After Nie Xiguang’s accident from falling from the balcony, Lin Yusen and her relationship completely changed. To catch her from falling, he got on his knees to soften her fall. Not only that, but his care and worry for her in the hospital, constantly checking up on her, and bringing her food was so sweet. But, it wasn’t only him that had a change of heart. I loved the scene where Xiguang noticed that Yusen was getting discouraged by the usage of his left hand, so she set an easier mode on the game and asked him to help her win the level just so he could feel good about himself and have more confidence. I think Lin Yusen noticed her sly attempt as well, because the smile that he gave her was so appreciative.
I love episode 10, with the wedding and Xiguang being Yusen’s plus one. That was so sneaky of him to pretend that the bride asked Xiguang to come when Yusen himself just wanted her to come. I got goosebumps when Yusen said the exact time that he met Xiguang (even though Xiguang doesn’t know it was her). The scene in the snow with Yusen literally being Xiguang’s savior and coming to her rescue. I loved loved loved it. This was the scene I saw on Tiktok that made me want to watch this drama and it did not disappoint. I love Yusen’s protective nature. The fact that they know that Lin Yusen is some bigshot businessman makes this scene even better. “I can’t take you out here all happy just to bring you back miserable.” I love how attentive Yusen is. He can instantly tell when Xiguang is feeling down and he understands her and comprehends her in the way that he knows what to say and when to say it to cheer her up. WHEN HE GRABBED HER HAND AND TIGHTENED IT TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF TO HER COLLEGE CLASSMATES, IT WAS SUCH A SMALL TOUCH BUT I STILL LITERALLY FAINTED WATCHING IT. IT WAS SO CUTE…..UGHHH HIM IN THAT LONG TRENCH COAT TOO, I CAN’T. HE JUST EMANATES COMFORT, PROTECTIVENESS, LOVING, AND CARING ALL IN 1 MAN.
Yea…Yusen is done for. When Xiguang put her head on his shoulders when she was asleep and he started replaying all of their moments in his head, that’s the classic cdrama scene that lets the audience know that a person has fallen for the other person. I also would like to say that by episode 11, I see no superiority complex between Xiguang and Yusen which I love. Usually, these boss/employee dramas always have some type of carried on standard that the man is the boss and the woman is the employee. I loved that little snippet where Xiguang’s friends were asking about Yusen’s old past and why he isn’t a doctor and Xiguang got really protective because she knew it was a sore spot and sensitive subject for Yusen. But, Yusen reassured her that it was okay and I could tell he appreciated the gesture.
Episode 12 starts and right away, the tension between Zhuang Xu and Lin Yusen is so prominent. The stare down that they had multiple times after Zhuang Xu spilled wine on Xiguang was like Yusen telling him “Try her, I will be here to protect her.” Bro, Zhuang Xu’s whole speech to Nie Xiguang about how she helped him wake up his senses and him blaming her for breaking her promise was actually just him being butt hurt. You can’t expect a girl to keep on liking a man with no reciprocation. It’s plain and simple. Lin Yusen is more mature and emotionally intelligent. He was there for Nie Xiguang: “how can I ignore you when you’re so vulnerable?” WE LOVE A CONFIDENT MAN. “Confessing here isn’t exactly my style, but with you crying like this here, how can I not take the opportunity? Tell me, what can I do to make you feel better?” YES YES YES YUSEN. Then, he simply confessed. Just like that! We love a man that knows what he wants, it’s the best thing. When Xiguang honestly admitted that she still has lingering feelings, first off, I thought that was very mature of her. Realizing that being in a relationship takes all of your attention and care and love, so she still needed to work her way up to that with Yusen. When she was rejecting Yusen, I LOVED Yusen’s answer. I think it’s one of my favorite answers from any cdrama ML ever. He said: “If you’re going to reject me, don’t do it like you’re doing with your head down looking like you owe me something. Say it proudly with your head high. This is the first stepping stone to me pursuing you. It’s a natural progression to me working to gain your change of feelings.” I just love how mature Yusen is. He doesn’t make Xiguang feel like she has to say yes and he will simply work harder with her rejection. I love the direct contrast because you can really see why Yusen is the better man. Like if that isn’t the perfect man what is? “With a heart as soft as yours, how much of a failure would I be if I couldn’t win you over? Have more faith in me.” UGH YUSEN STOP SAYING THE PERFECT WORDS. Like he is practically promising her that he will end up winning her over just because he is that determined and “good at everything.” “Me pursuing you should be something good for you, not a weight on your shoulders. You say you still have feelings for other people. That’s not a problem. You take your pick.” Like holy, Yusen you’re killing me here. His words are so smooth and they can’t help but just make a woman feel loved, seen, and understood.
Umm…this is one of the best dramas that I have ever seen regarding pursuing a woman. Lin Yusen instantly does whatever she wants and tries to pay for everything that they do together. He carries her bag and purse around when they are out and I love the thing that Lin Yusen does when he leans his head down to talk to her with a more equal level between them two because of how tall he is. But, my favorite parts of seeing Lin Yusen pursue Xiguang is seeing him admire her when she is being successful and interested and passionate in whatever she is doing. “How do you always see the best in people?” This is a line that Nie Xiguang said to Lin Yusen and I think it sums up one of his best qualities perfectly. He never makes anyone feel like anything less than they deserve, in fact, he works and acts to help people (Xiguang specifically) feel better about themselves than they do. He doesn’t try to make them feel inferior in any way, but in fact, he sees the good in people and helps them develop it and become a more confident person themselves.
Aww..when Yusen came to Changbai Mountains to find Xiguang, her excitement was so deep. She’s already fallen for him, for sure. The scenery, the song, and the cute snowman. Also, I want to say that I love Jiang Rui. I love that he was able to stand up for Xiguang when Zhuang Xu treated her bad and he’s also just so observant. He’s the best little brother.
Lin Yusen’s calling is to be a neurosurgeon. When he went to the hospital with that person who got into an accident on the slopes, he was so dejected when watching the other doctors care for him. When Xiguang showed up worried for him, Yusen finally realized that there must have been a misunderstanding with the car accident. She was so worried for him and even got mad. He realized just how much Xiguang cared about him. I love how Yusen showed up at her hotel room and made it up to her and apologized that same night. I love seeing mature relationships. I know I’m talking about Yusen a lot, but Xiguang is also so observant of Yusen. She noticed that he was longing to go back to surgery and seeing that relationship with the doctors probably made him a little sad, so she cheered him up with fireworks.
Episode 22 and they had their first real physical interaction. It’s crazy how their hands touching makes me excited. Song Weilong’s hands are also huge in comparison to all of his female costars. Zhao Jinmai fit 4 of her fingers on one of his. When he was filming Seven Relics of Ill Omen with Liu Haocun, his hands covered her entire face. The fact that he’s so tall really fits the CEO look as well. FINALLY! THE MISUNDERSTANDING IS BROKEN. All this time, Lin Yusen thought that Nie Xiguang was the one that invited him, but it was a whole lack of communication. I love how Yusen didn’t just disregard Xiguang’s statement and he heard her out. Such a green flag.
Yusen’s postcard/letter back to Xiguang was so well written. I guess this is the first real confession from him explaining everything. “You captivated me. Everyone else called you arogant, but I thought you were radiant and so full of life. Everything I’ve been doing has been for you.” Xiguang connecting the dots when Yusen answered when he met his future wife with an exact date and time and it was at that banquet he told her about in the letter. Everything is finally out in the open, we’re just waiting for them to meet again.
Episode 24 when they met again, it was the perfect meet up. Lin Yusen was so cheeky with all of the words that he was saying and they were both so happy to see eachother. I absolutely love love love Song Weilong’s smile, so during that scene, that gorgeous smile was just breathtaking. Not only that, but the matching trench coats (gray and pink) really went together. That outfit pairing by the crew was really such a good touch. I love the full circle moment with Lin Yusen and Xiguang going to see the plum blossoms which is what was promised that day Yusen was going to drive up to meet XIguang but got in an accident. The scene, the final shot of this episode was truly so so beautiful. The most beautiful scene I’ve seen yet, maybe forever. There’s just something about those flowers, the matching outfits, the hug, the height difference. Ugh. So perfect. Xiguang accepting Yusen’s pursuing and even popping the question herself with Yusen answering “yes” this time. This confession is one for the books for sure. Lin Yusen’s sweettalking after saying “no plum blossoms could beat the ones here right now” (the ones they confessed under). Stop stop stop. I can’t handle this anymore.
Episode 26 was one of my favorites by far. I loved the scene at Yusen’s grandfather’s banquet with Xiguang and him publicly declaring their relationship. Truly a power couple, even if coming from rival families (sort of). Also, the first kiss hello. I loved how they didn’t make it any like huge declaration of anything, like that kiss didn’t change their relationship at all. I think we all knew he was going to go back to medicine no matter what. That’s his calling. Also, Yusen’s whole story about his background and why he chose medicine was so emotionally deep and I’m glad Xiguang got to hear it. “I want to tell you everything about me.”
Episode 30 Zhuang Xu was so annoying bro. It’s been years that youve rejected Xiguang, so you can’t come back now and act liek everything is okay and expect Xiguang to still like you. That just doesn’t make sense bro. I’m so glad Xiguang stood her ground and said everything she’s wanted to say. That’s one of the things I love about her, she isn’t some weak FL. She stands up for what she believes in.
Episode 31 with Xiguang fighting back against Xingjie is so satisfying. I love when she stands up for herself and her own ability and then Yusen laughing after. He loves seeing his woman fight for her own independence and her own ability too. I just love how both of them stand up for the other and are always willing to help out. One thing that I love about Yusen is how understanding he is. Anytime Xiguang is upset about something, he lets her tell him first. He doesn’t ask about it, but he’s still observing. I love how secure Xiguang is making her and Yusen’s relationship even with Zhuang Xu constantly trying to mess it up. Bro, Song Weilong with that black turtleneck, black watch, and that facecard. Whoo! A sight to behold. Truly the best looking male actor imo.
Episode 33 was so satisfying. I love how Xiguang was able to stand up to her father and finally reveal all of the truths and secrets that she alwas wanted to ask him. He is genuinely so manipulated by Ma Nianyuan that he is willing to turn against his own daughter and balmes his daughter first. Yusen also overhearing the part where Xiguang is worried for him was so caring too. He comforted her, but let her finish her own opinions and thoughts too.
Episode 35 was so cute. I love how everyone’s story is ending up on a high note. When Xiguang revealed the name of the garden to Yusen, his face was unforgettable. He felt so much love for her that she named it after their two names being combined together.
Episode 36 was the best ending and conclusion. That proposal was so them. (That wedding ring is a STUNNER, holy. I don’t expect anything less from Yusen). Also, I saw this Tiktok saying that Song Weilong and Zhao Jinmai filmed that wedding scene on Song Weilong’s bday, so that day must’ve been just happy in general. Song Weilong just looks so good in everything, especially a suit. Not to mention, Zhao Jinmai is an angel. She is so gorgeous. Song Weilong’s acting being a dad is really really cute. His baby voice and the facial expressions he makes talking to their daughter is just adorable. It only fits that they have a daughter. He is such a girl dad. And um…that kiss scene was probably the most intense and passionate one I’ve seen. That scene was insane.
This drama did not disappoint at all. I loved the ending, especially when they show a montage of all of Xiguang and Yusen’s moments together. They are genuinely such a mature and strong couple together. There were barely any misunderstandings that annoyed me and this whole time, Yusen and Xiguang were both green flags to eachother. The ending was perfect too. They ended with a child, being wonderful parents and I just couldn’t have asked for anything better. Honestly, I have never given a business/workplace centered drama a 10/10 before, because usually some part of the business is just boring to me. But, I guess there’s a first time for everything. This drama is truly such a gem.
