So was his Thailand devouring aura organically developed off camera after first kissing her in nanjing 🧐

Hehe jk

I actually thought the opposite haha — the first half was exciting but the second half explores the characters and plot a lot more in depth (especially Jiang Mu’s), and it was so satisfying to see how they both evolved from six years ago.

Commenting not for the sake of arguing, but just offering a different POV in case there are any new watchers who are curious btw

But the acting and the angst are sooo good 😫🤌

First time ever rating each episode cuz what the helly this deserves higher than a 8.3 🤬

Fwiw — IQIYI subtitles when Mumu imagines ZhaoZhao is “the taste of my coffee… do you remember it?”

But he actually says “my taste… do you remember it?”

🥺

His employee told her he’s married with a kid; when she asked him directly, he didn’t answer her qn and asked her if she was seeing someone

Major props to you if you can say you’re single while the person you pined after for six years is likely married with a kid haha

Oh he also bought her house L O L

Also shoutout to all the great supporting characters that helped provide such an immersive experience, especially San Lai, the dad, and the stepmother :)

I think it’ll help also the relationship once they get tgt. JZ won’t keep thinking “what if I’m not good enough for her, what if there are better guys out there for her”. She HAS tried dating, but none of them compared to JZ.

Eps 21-22 really showcased Esther’s acting! What a beautiful yearner. The way she conducts herself also shows how much time has passed and how she has matured. Even her voice intonations changed.

Also the way they shot Nanjing was exactly how I imagined it from the books. What a great two episodes

I really hope Esther and He Yu can collab again

Nah it already passed censorship reviews, meaning the govt already approved all the content in the show

IMO the show nailed the big picture concept pretty well so I can forgive its flaws in the details (namely the choppy a$$ editing)

Like the chemistry, staying true to the novel’s characters’ essence + plot (some screenwriters make the plot much worse despite the source material being right there; some change a novel’s HE to SE for no apparent reason), focus on the leads (some give uninteresting second leads way too much screen time and even add sometimes third leads)

So while sometimes drama’s details doesn’t make sense to me, at the end of the day, its entertainment value is a 10/10

The funniest part is that both are natural LOL

Like that scar is his something he got irl and he was sweating BUCKETS in the bts. It all matches his character 🤣

I think a part of it can be attributed to her, but the directing / editing also feels choppy. Like the ML’s thirst came outta nowhere and it died down way too quickly?

That I don’t know haha

omg so He Yu went to go celebrate Esther’s bday the day prior, and they celebrated again together during the livestream with another cake

They were looking for a candle and Esther said its fine. But He Yu insisted and told her every wish counts

Muh hearttttt

She almost always has a hairclip and for the love of god it bothers me so much. Her voice is fine. Her acting is fine. Everything is fine. But those darn hair clips…

Nope

Aghhhh I love how FL cutely “demands” ML to do things for her, and doesn’t let anyone else do them

I think it helps him feel valuable and needed by her (just like when they were young), despite the fact that he’s no longer the school genius / didn’t go to college. She still loves him and wants him ^_^

Someone made an edit to Style by Taylor Swift!
