I'm gaslighted on behalf of Zhuang Xu, the second male lead of Shine on Me. You know how at one point, he and his work associates are targeted with rumors, but they can't pinpoint the origin? It's actually professionally damaging for them. Well, it seems like the drama is mirroring Ye Rong's sabotaging of the female lead back when they were in school. I mean, think about it - this is totally Ye Rong's modus operandi. It's one of the things I admire about the writing of Shine on Me, that it makes me empathize with Zhuang Xu and his colleagues, because I'm not 100% sure either. Weeks after I've finished watching the drama, I still wonder if Zhuang Xu has an at least half-formed suspicion of Ye Rong as far as those rumors. I mean, I know we see her telling a friend she's gained some self-awareness, but, seriously, girl has proved herself as a reputation-tarnishing schemer.
