Right now it looks like it will be only on Tencent. I was also looking for that information to only find out it's gonna air outside of China on Disney Hotstar and Viki.
OK, I officially think the FL has lost her ever loving mind keeping the relationship a secret after everything.…
I think the writer has no clue how the whole industry and being model works š Each dialogue and scene involving 2FL modeling career makes me cringe and questioning my own existence š
I can't believe I am writing this, but at this moment the relationship between Xu Yan and Jia Lin appears to be…
Yeah, I watched the teasers for 2 next episodes but still I didnāt get her decision to be in āsecret relationshipā. I wouldnāt be bothered if she would give it some reason behind it but nope š
Thoughts after ep20 (mostly, rant on female characters but also what I've liked so far)
I can't believe I am writing this, but at this moment the relationship between Xu Yan and Jia Lin appears to be the most interesting one. He's bringing some view on grief and remorse, how to move on after being alone for so long. Suddenly, Jia Lin stopped being a whiney child and it made her much more likable as character.
At this point, I have a hard time when it comes to the 2 'main' female characters of this drama. Both are annoying as hell.
Special award for Tong Yiwen who doesn't understand the industry she's been working in for at least 10 years. When she was whining that she wants to be "the model", not "the salesman" I just lost it xD Like, girl, that's your work. To be the face of brands. To make products sell. And the way she was so sad because her career 'is over' because she's in her 30s. Did she really think that she's gonna do this forever? All models know that it's a job that has it's expiry date and plan what to do when the time comes. Oh, don't forget about the reason why she rejected Jiacheng - becuase 'they loved each other TOO MUCH'. Girl, you don't even really know him. You were on a few 'dates', that's it. She's also giving me some gold digger vibes, but let's leave it before I will get angry again xD
The FL is just not mature at all and doesn't know what she wants. But she became so sad and poor when ML cut the ties with her after SHE decided that she doesn't want to continue the relationship. Wtf? And the last episode when she decided to keep their relationship a secret? Why? Just why? Are you a teenager afraid of your strict parents? Is he someone you would be ashamed of being seen together? Is anything wrong about you both being together? I just don't get it. This character makes no sense at all.
The friendship between male characters is the best part and I admit that the interview anecdotes at the beginning of odd-numbered episodes always brings some value. It's either funny or makes the ML lead more interesting, brings some depth to his character. You can believe he's a journalist who writes a good articles.
Ok, the strongest part of this drama is Hu Yitan. You can clearly see he had some fun on the set, while playing this character. It's not his usual 'cold male' role so it's refreshing. He's a good actor, love his more comedic side too. Looking forward his other project which will let him show more of those.
After seeing TYW do her āmodellingā, i know why she does not get any jobs. She has only one expression on…
Oh my, Iāve just got to that part. Her walking on runway gave me chills (in a bad way). Not mentioning how irresponsible it was to walk with injury. If sheās been working in an industry FOR YEARS she should know how much effort and money the organization of fashion show costs and aknowledge the responsibility she has to deliver the job she was payed for. If something goes wrong she could ruin the show and work of many other people.
Same here, Iām on ep8 and for now this story feels quite organic. Ngl my favorite part is the friendship between…
Additional fun fact on the couple I know - she was dating her initial crush for some time but ended up with that friend anyway ;)
I think in this drama the situation may be quite similar when it comes to working out what are the feelings towards other people.
FL needs to REALLY get over her crush first to genuinely fall for the ML. It's more natural that it takes a while and includes a lot of misunderstandings and confusing situations/feelings.
Do you think it's better to watch it while it's airing or to wait and binge-watch it later?
Since it's 40 episodes, I would say that would be better to watch when on air as binge-watching contemporary c-dramas which are that long may be a challenge (that's my experience and personal opinion, ofc :))
Wow so many hate comments thank goodness I started this before coming here or else I would have been discouraged…

Iām also in my 30s myself so sometimes the jokes theyāre making are more funny to me than maybe to the younger audience (I laughed so hard on the new hobby and competition part š so real). Itās also quite normal among my friends that we like to constantly remind ourselves that weāre considered āoldā since weāre in our 30s š Itās a form of a joke and coping mechanism, I guess š
Characters are not perfect, neither the plotline, it has some shortcomings but I still enjoy the ride. It may not be a masterpiece but I still consider it as a good watch, especially because most of the dramas Iāve been watching recently were on the heavier side.
Fun fact: I know myself a couple whoās story is quite similar to the one between the MC. Sheās been crushing on somebody else, heās been there for her as a friend and everyone knew heās been in love with her from the beginning. They had some ups and downs I even witnessed myself but guess what? They finally got together and itās been years since then. Itās hard to imagine them separated š Trust me, they had to go through some āØcharacter developmentāØ
I think itās because there are no interesting dramas airing right now š
Yes, I am still watching and I donāt know even why š
was like a very pretty package with nothing interesting inside.
Disney Hotstar and Viki are other platforms which plan to air it. I guess Viki will be 1 or 2 days behind Tencent š„²
āFL with fried brainā made my laugh so hard š
I was afraid that it will air only on Tencent/Disney Hotstar.
5 days and 21 hours to go! :)
