Ep 26 felt so short 😭!! But aside from that, as much as I hate that Wei Mingzhen, that whole sequence was so sad - not about HER, like not about WMZ, but about the pressure and torture Miaojing had to go through. It was heartbreaking. And it's the fact that despite everything that happened, Miaojing still felt obligated to be there by her side after everything she'd been put up with. I guess what I'm trying to say is: it's just really raw and realistic. Goes to show human emotion and how we remain attached to things from the past, even after being put up with a whole bunch of bs. The actress who plays Wei Mingzhen played her so well - the whole scene when she was lying on the hospital bed was conveyed so well, I actually started to feel a bit of pity.
First it was Ling Xiao's mum in Go Ahead, then it's Wei Mingzhen and Chen Libin....stress.
Are u sure that make out scene isnt after the shaving or on another episode ? Because then there is another scene…
I'm not sure, but following the steps in the novel, they have a makeout scene before the shaving scene - as far as many novel-readers have said. I just hope they don't cut out these scenes😭😭
Wait, express is Tuesday? Omg, it's so soon 😭!! Someone give these two another project, a rom-com, anything. Give them another drama together!!! I will never move on!! + SWL describing ZJY's smile as a parenthesis is so damn cute!!! He's such an attentive person, and don't even get me started on being her mic!!
Also, they better not cut out the makeout scene just before the shaving scene 🫣!! We're already deprived of Miaojing and Chenyi scenes, don't cut out anything else!!!
Guys....we're getting the shaving scene tmrw🫣....I'M ABOUT TO ACTUALLY LOSE IT!!!!! Haven't yet watched the recent ep but I hope people can understand where Miaojing comes from with her mum-situation. Not a good mother (DEFINITELY NOT) and is one of the most hated mothers I've ever seen, but to Miaojing, it is her mother and ofc must hurt, especially in that dialogue they exchanged about her only being there for money - that woman will never change, even on her own deathbed. But I'm lowkey here for the complexity this drama gives. As much as it's irritating me sometimes with the communication and all, that's what makes it realistic and more raw. I'm so excited to see what's next!!
Trust guys: they'll come back to the senses by at least Sunday 😌. Gonna distract myself with my exams on Monday first and then come back to watch after Sunday's eps along with Monday's ones. Lowkey, I feel like we might be getting express on Monday as well, if they end up airing eps 26 and 27 on Sunday, but I'd like to just cherish the current time-being, because I don't think I'll mentally or physically be able to move on from this drama at all. Lemme enjoy seeing my beautiful SWL and ZJY couple for longer!! Someone get these two another drama together, I can't have enough of their beautiful chemistry!!!
Also, you know what I need. I need them to show more of Miaojing's life in those 6 years - at least MAYBE it will earn some empathy from some viewers....as well as Chenyi's too. I need them to show their whole backstories in order to fill in the gaps of their complicated on-and-off relationship - at least so that we can better understand them as individuals. Honestly, if you watch LFY, you gotta understand both POVs. Don't just blame one side, both are pretty understandable. Been seeing WAY too much talk about Chenyi and Miaojing (especially her) and about their situationship too, but I mean they're pretty much summing up and adapting the novel pretty well. If you think this is "toxic" or complicated, don't even get me started on their messiness in the novel......y'all would never be able to see the light of day.
(Imma be defending this drama till the day I die, don't worry :))))
Yeah it technically is, but I think those using the mainland china Mangotv ver are able to access some additional previews earlier - Idk, I just found them on Weibo
The best part of this show is the chemistry between the two leads. The story gets boring as the episodes go on,…
Literally the only reason I'm still here - JUST FOR THEM!!!! Love this pairing so much, and I will honestly never move on because damn, this chemistry has me feeling butterflies nonstop!!
Seems like ep 25 and 26 will be about Miaojing's mum....something tells me that she might pass, but idk. I mean, as long as we get Miaojing and Chenyi moments of them taking care of one another, I'm fine - I'm lowkey so deprived of their own moments outside of work😭
Idc bro. I'm staying here for the leads. For Song Weilong. For Zhang Jingyi. And hopefully for Miaojing and Chenyi to finally resolve everything and for the drama to fill us in with the info we need for the events in the past and what's soon to come. I guess right now it's just the need for patience in order to get the answers we need. But hey. We'll get there soon. I just hope they know how to execute it well and not ruin the experience. Give me all the angst, jealousy, and all, but let me experience some peace for the leads for once 😩
Only real thing I hate is that they air some of the most boring eps on the days where there's only 1 ep per day. I mean ep 24 wasn't bad.....but it was kinda a waste of time with how: the whole miscommunication situation of their's is still being dragged out till the next ep, and how her stupid damn mother had to fricking return back on screen....why are you here I swear....she's just so useless. Idk what her reappearance is used for, because it DEFINITELY doesn't seem to be used as a catalyst for Miaojing and Chenyi's relationship. Watch her pull out another "I'm broke and couldn't help but leave you" again.
Officer Zhou is honestly the only guy with the brains here, and so would Wenjie (if she were here 😔). It's always the most useless characters that get the screentime istg....her mum and that SML. Wish they just gave them the silent treatment and got rid of them quickly because it's really testing out the patience I'm holding onto. SML continues to get on my damn nerves as the eps come out, and the mother is so useless, I don't expect anything out of her other than abandonment again.
Can we you, just have Miaojing and Chenyi's relationship as a standalone plot without any other interference please 😩!! I understand that the whole auditor storyline is essential to the whole plot itself and will definitely be interlinked with what happened in the past, but the SML and the mother's appearance.....are they really that needed??
a lot of yall are watching the show for straight romance instead of the plot and understanding it. “she’s…
Thank youuuuuu 😌👏!! This is so well said!! Like yes, there's romance, but it will only further develop once everything in the plot is settled: his ptsd and trauma, the company situation, footage from the past to reveal what really happened. The double standards in the media are honestly so annoying and I'm tired of seeing all this discourse and having to defend both sides. Can we you know, just let the plot take us on the ride? Can we just sit back and just enjoy what we have on screen? It's already so great and lucky that the we were able to have SWL and ZJY as the main leads for such a well known novel AND for such a well developed drama from a very talented team.
You ask for pure and realistic emotions, but once a drama gives you it, you criticise it for being too complex. We are humans after all and the drama perfectly portrays the complexity that innately sits inside us: we all make mistakes anyways. And plus, quite a lot of these scenes were improvised by the cast themselves too in order to show a more realistic approach. Patience iskey for watching cdramas, let alone dramas as a whole, especially ones that have a complex storyline like this one. Let's just enjoy this moment in time as we're already so close to having it conclude (I'm already dreading the day we no longer have SWL and ZJY in the same frame every day 😭!!!)
Omg guys I just realised....that emoji on the airing schedule for ep 24....I'm pretty sure it represents Miaojing's mum.....god save me. Why her again?? I thought we were done 😭😔
Lowkey, if this is true, I'm pretty sure we'll see Miaojing and Chenyi FINALLY reconcile and be happy in ep 25, assuming from the house emoji on the airing schedule - could indicate that they've both finally clocked how no other can replace their home: each other. And boom. We'll probably be all fine after that 😌. Wishful thinking I know. Delulu as heck, I know. But hey. Can't help but be more invested in creating some storyline right? Trust me. We all just gotta be patient 😌🙏. Good days will come so soon, they're just around the corner!!
lol, the immediate thing I thought of from the end of ep 23: Guess Miaojing's joining the Hong Kong escape club too 😂! Let's call up Wen Yifan and Jiang Qiaoxi so they can bring help her settle 😆
Anyways, jokes aside, let's just hope all this is quick and that's it only turns into a bigger wake up call for both of them to realise they need to actually communicate 😔
they want him to be Loved so bad at the expense of Chenyi and its driving me crazy. If he wants people to get…
I swear....this SML syndrome trope actually needs to stop cause who's actually eating it up?? Especially with THE Song Weilong and Zhang Jingyi as the mains...we don't want anything besides from them and their characters on screen 😤
Ok hear me out: I'm lowkey not that upset with the current situation around Miaojing and Chenyi because hey. At least they're getting more screentime TOGETHER right? But can that Cenye bro just gtfo because why is he getting SO MUCH SCREENTIME? What is it that he's got to do besides being a very heavy rival of Chenyi's?? And like he showed up for only like 1 chapter in the novel, so why are they giving him so much attention...??? Give him the same treatment as Tuli - though, I'd rather see her get more screentime than him because she's lowkey so chill and isn't much of an eye sore. And plus, what's with him? Like he's such a freak - wiping his hands everytime he comes in contact with Chenyi, wiping up the spots that Chenyi touches, then throwing his handkerchief away....does he have a freaking problem??
I'd like them to double the screentime for SWL and MJY because I'm sick of having to skip past the stupid scenes of the SML....it pisses me off. I'd rather see Miaojing and Chenyi constantly have a rocky and toxic relationship where they continue to banter and argue than see any of the second leads waste my time. I'm rewatching from the beginning again and couldn't help but miss the amount of screentime they gave for just Miaojing and Chenyi alone in the first 10-ish eps. Can I just see these two happy for once 😭
Update: I will still be eating this drama forever and won't be moving on AT ALL, especially since SWL and ZJY are definitely my top CP pairing of all time. I just need to see more of their characters communicating and solving their problems, as well as fill-ins for the past storylines.
+ why aren't we getting any Hi Saturday promotions 😔!! This drama is doing so well both in the mainland and internationally, so like literally, if they seriously want more money and exposure, they should allow SWL and ZJY to appear on Hi6 for promotion😭!! Ofc, both of them are quite under tight schedules right now, but Mangotv should have handled everything more professionally
Please, this drama is set in which period, the 1900s or the 2000s?
Technically it's set in 3 different decades: > Younger selves = 1990s > Past selves, but a bit older (when Miaojing is 16-18) = early 2000s - with their separation happening in 2005 > Present = 2010s (2011 = reunion)
Gotta be patient guys. I understand that it's frustrating, but then again I gotta remember that this is the same director as Lighter and Princess so we've just gotta wait for the process - the absolute frustration I felt during L+P airing was insane, but it wrapped up well enough so I still have so much faith put into this drama. Love SWL and ZJY so ofc I'm camping here forever. Unfortunately, patience is the key for watching cdramas, let alone dramas as a whole, especially ones that have a complex storyline like this one. Please, chill for a bit. I've seen so much heat on here, but like the tiktok, twitter, and insta stans are just ready to eat up every single ep.
Just hope we're able to speed things up a bit and get some proper communication. I want to know about the past fire. I want to know more about his past. But I guess we just gotta wait and brace ourselves. After all, while the auditor thingy is quite long and can be quite confusing, it plays a key part in the plot itself so we can't just ignore it. I guess the main thing I'm hoping to see the most is some CLARIFICAION from them both 😭🙏!! Clarification on their part in their current situationship. I can see that they're definitely adapting the complications of their relationship that was portrayed in the novel, but you know. Can they let us chill for a bit and give us the actual happy moments? Honestly, all I need to hear is a "I love you" and I'm all done😌. And lowkey, the end of ep 23 may just be the pin point for Chenyi and Miaojing to finally reconcile - who knows??
This is really the only drama that I have right now and is what got me out of my short cdrama slump!! I've been waiting for WAY TOO LONG for this drama to come out so just let me enjoy my time caving into the depths of this drama😭!
Story aside, can I just say, gosh. The chemistry between SWL and ZJY is so damn good!! Their CP energy is eating so much, and I'm willing to indulge in it. Love how they're both so comfortable around one another and I adore their interactions!! Even after finding out that they would be reuniting again to film the spin off character show-thing, they were both so excited to see each other again (taken from an interview btw)! I hope we see this friendship flourish and maintained and cherished for a long time!!! I will never shut up about this pairing btw 😌🫰. Cdrama directors, you can see the vision - GIVE THESE TWO ANOTHER PROJECT TOGETHER PLEASE!!! If both Mainland Chinese and International fans are gushing over them and willing to eat up their pairing as many times as possible, you know....you could give them another script~~
