I can see your point. To me he's acting that way because he had regained his memory much sooner than he let on, so he chose to act silly because that's how people expected him to act. In other words, he was intelligent enough to be sly and get what he wanted. But that's just my point of view. I respect your opinion.
Well he's hurt his head and became amnesiac,i guess he acted really well based on your comment š
It's not like he took the money and went out drinking with his friends. He had good intentions, but he went about it the wrong way. He has stated many times that he wants her to go to college. He learned from his mistake, and they'll move on.
I have a massive problem with this drama and its representation of amnesia. First of all, letās get this straight,…
I understand how you feel. It bothers me a bit when they refer to the ML has having a mental illness that may cause him to go crazy, etc.
However, I think we need to consider that this story is set in a time frame that was 50 years ago, when traumatic brain injuries were not as well understood as they are today. It was a period of upheaval, and doctors may have had very little training in how to deal with such injuries. Even if they had understood, they may not have had facilities available necessary for him to receive the treatment he needed.
I do think your points are valid, and if those opinions keep you from enjoying the series, I respect your choice.
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 canāt 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.

The young actor who plays the young Feng Mu Yang looks a lot like Arthur Chen, IMO. That was great casting.
