Because this dumb screenwriter wanted some extra angst in the drama. So he sacrificed Yi Fan's character progression for his stupid angst.

It's not extremely realistic. She was already healing and progressing. Having her run away again is just a dumb screenwriter's idea of adding more angst to the drama.

She was already developing the strength. She already did her noble idiocy thing and it made her more miserable. Her running away again was pointless. It added NOTHING to the story. It was added simply to add extra angst to the drama. Nothing more.

Give us a fucking break with your lecturing. It's BAD writing. They only adding this shit for some extra angst. It adds NOTHING to the story. It's dumb. The female lead WAS healing. She was progressing as a character. They destroyed all of that.

There’s no logical reason for her to run away again. She’s already been down that path, and it didn’t help her heal. It made her sadder and lonelier. So she mustered the courage, came back to reclaim what she lost. Throughout the story, we see her growing, learning that she has supportive friends and a boyfriend who will fight for her. But in the end, we were robbed of that beautiful character growth just for some cheap angst. There’s a reason this part wasn’t in the novel—it’s objectively bad writing. It’s just pointless. Anyone defending this crap is supporting bad writing.

Sure, many people enjoy bad writing. I don't.

BINGO!! She's no longer a child. Through the entire drama we're shown her progression as a character. It was all for nothing. This dumb screenwriter destroyed her character progression for some extra angst and some people here are defending this crap.

Agreed. It's bad writing. Anyone defending this crap needs to have their head checked.

Yes, she's selfish and a coward. And San Yang is one of he most unrealistic boyfriend I've seen. No ONE is that patient. Yi Fan has an entire network of friends and a very dependable person in San Yang ready to help her. Yet she chooses to run away, again. The first time she ran it DIDN'T solve any thing. It made her sadder and lonelier. Right when we though she was growing and progressing as a character, she regressed. It's dumb writing.

And I don't think you understand what good writing is. There's a reason this nonsense is NOT in the original novel. It's dumb and contrived.

It's so dumb.

Fair enough. Often fans don't mind creative changes when they're good. You'll hear complaints when the changes are unnecessary and objectively worse than the source material.

The reason people are saying "poor San Yan" is because the writers made the poor choice of ruining the FL’s character development just for the sake of adding unnecessary angst. She went from a sympathetic character we all rooted for to someone frustrating, cowardly, and annoying. When she ran away the first time, it didn’t solve anything. So, for her to do it again makes absolutely no sense. Good character development would show her facing her trauma differently this time, but instead, they threw all of that away just for pointless angst. If you can’t see how poorly written these last two episodes are, then I don’t know what to say.

The problem isn’t that changes were made; it’s that they were changed to something poorly executed and downright stupid. If the changes you make don’t enhance the original material, then don’t make them at all.

So stupid.

It doesn’t make any sense. The writers decided to derail Yi Fan’s character development just to add unnecessary angst. Yi Fan’s journey of coming back and trying to move on with her life—slowly reclaiming everything—is the kind of heroine you can really root for. But the Yi Fan who runs away again, just when we thought she was strong enough to confront her fears, comes off as a frustrating, cowardly character that’s hard to like. Whoever wrote this script is a moron.

It's dumb. It's objectively bad writing. Whoever wrote this is an idiot.

It’s absolute nonsense, all for the sake of adding pointless angst. We empathized with Yi Fan because we understood that it would take time for her to face her struggles. The story set up this journey of growth, where she’s getting stronger, reclaiming her life, her love, and her friendships. As the audience, we were invested in her character arc and rooting for her progression. But then—out of nowhere—it all gets yanked away. Everything we thought was real turns out to be a mirage, and she’s back at square one. No longer is she the heroine facing her fears and growing stronger; she’s just a coward who ran away from them again. It’s beyond frustrating.

Instead of having the audience root for the heroine for triumphing over her past trauma, they regressed her character. Yi Fan has basically learned NOTHING and has regressed. This is how you destroy a character. The audience are no longer rooting for her. They're annoyed by her.

These writers are stupid.
