I hardly noticed the sml and I didn't see it as a love triangle as such.
I can see that. The characters in the story that were only after money without trying to better themselves or society didn't end up doing as well as our ML/FL did. SML was so concerned with success and status that he missed out on a loving relationship with two possible partners.
Actually after finishing the 12th episode, I think he can’t be blamed for his behaviour, that so called childhood…
All he had to do was talk to Xi Guang to figure out what was going on. Instead he comes across as trusting others but not her, and that put her in an embarrassing position. Did he ever apologize for doing that? I'm not sure...

I finally decided that the whole purpose of the SML was to point out that actually communicating with your intended partner about how you feel and what you want in a relationship is the key to success. Lin was up front with Xi Guang about his intentions, and she was honest with him about her lingering feelings for the SML. Lin was mature enough to let her choose (but I think he was pretty sure he thought he'd win!). The SML never gets around to telling Xi Guang about what he feels or even that he likes her until it's too late. Moral of the story: don't beat around the bush. Be straightforward in your dealings with people.
So are they gonna do that thing where we find out the SML has been up to no good this whole time, and the FL finally figures that out, so ML has to swoop in to rescue her and the child? Personally I think it'd be more fun if FL lead calls ML and he tells her he just doesn't care any more and she can deal with it herself, because he's done and has moved on to someone new.....
Shen Chang was raised by a strong, brave woman, and because of her influence as his parent, he was ready to sacrifice everything to ensure she'd have a happy life with A'Xun.
I think that's him we see at the end of the series. He may have a different name, but I don't think he disappeared from existence. IMO he was adopted by someone else instead of Ye Hai Tang.
IMO a lot of the PV stuff is way over the top, even for me, a former science teacher. However, it does serve to allow our FL to 'shine' (pardon the pun) as an intellectually gifted woman who is capable of learning about, understanding, and applying many different aspects of the science, engineering, and technology involved, as well as the cost analysis necessary to planning such installations. I'm so tired of watching FLs who aren't allowed to be brilliant because they might appear to be smarter than their ML counterparts. Xi Guang is intelligent and isn't afraid to let people know that, and Yu Shen encourages her to go even farther in her studies. To me that's one of the best parts of this drama.
I'm about 2/3 through and I'm enjoying it. For me it's a calm, relaxing series. It may not set the world on fire as far as the plot goes, but I like that the main characters actually talk to each other about stuff. I've watched many dramas where I'm thinking "JUST TELL HIM/HER WHAT YOU'RE FEELING!" but that's not going on much here. I think the lack of communication from the SML is going to cause him to lose out on getting what he wants.
I have been able to watch it in spurts so I can give myself a break from the intense sadness but in the long run, I'll be glad to make it through until the end..
So I came back tot he forum to see how things are going and it looks like people are getting really nitpicky to…
I like that the script writer didn't make our female lead perfect. To me, that makes her a lot more believable. So she makes mistakes and then learns from them. ,,good for her! That's what intelligent people do! I've also enjoyed the tech aspects but I realize that's not everyone's cup of tea.
Their relationship is written as a natural progression, and it seems a lot of people want more fireworks...but that's not how real life works. They'll get there eventually.
I know some people think this series is boring but I'm enjoying it. In real life, people usually take their time to get to know someone before making any sort of commitment. FL was honest with ML about still having feelings for someone else. He said he'd wait for her to decide. Both of them have fairly mature attitudes, considering it's an idol drama.
Anyway, if people think it's boring then they shouldn't watch it. Find something else to enjoy instead of spending time picking arguments with people who are having a good time watching this.
The young actor who plays the young Feng Mu Yang looks a lot like Arthur Chen, IMO. That was great casting.
