they def seemed more than that...like a potential couple ..its sad shen didnt get his happy ending ...but nvm…
I honestly thought she was in 11th–12th or something 😭 So i was thinking maybe like "Hidden Love" they could just wait and start dating after she joins college.. when she’s older and can be sure about everything herself....And see that’s why I said "potential" ....it would have been nicer to see them together after a time skip.
Btw she was soooo pretty 😭 I just checked out her other works and she seems like a rookie but she actually acted really well!
I actually think Hu Yitian fits Jiang Yubai quite well. Jiang Yubai isn't just another version of his old cold, aloof male leads rather he is reserved, calm and not particularly loud or expressive, but that is part of his character. His feelings are shown more subtly through his actions, quiet concern and the way he gradually opens up and Hu Yitian captures that understated side of him well....like I said not every actor has to play a character in the loudest or most exaggerated way for the performance to work.
The criticism of Hu Yitian seems to come largely from viewers who feel that he doesn't match their image of Jiang Yubai while others simply don't connect with his acting style in this drama. And that's completely fair ...you don't have to like his portrayal. But I honestly think the criticism has been exaggerated. Hu Yitian is a good actor and did a nice job with Jiang Yubai. The decision to cast him was made by the production team not by Hu Yitian himself. He accepted the role and gave us his interpretation of the character and I think he did that well imo.
What frustrates me much more is the larger industry pattern. There are SO many talented actors yet whenever a major project comes around we keep seeing the same small pool of famous, conventionally handsome, commercially safe names being recycled over and over. Zhang Linghe is one example and there are several others too. And before anyone misunderstands me - YES, I like these actors. I watch their dramas and enjoy them too. But there is a limit to everything. 😭
At some point, I want to see new faces. We literally have examples of lesser known actors proving that they can hold their own when someone finally gives them the opportunity. Deng Kai in 'Pursuit of Jade" is one example (SL) who genuinely stood out and gained a lot of attention ...even Lin Muran who played Sui Yuanqing...CRAZYYY! he was only 19 yet viewers were impressed by how well he handled that role. **That is exactly why I want more casting risks.**
And I don't want Zhang Linghe or others to disappear. I just want the industry to stop acting as though there are only 4–5 men capable of carrying a drama. 😭 Give them a break....and most importantly give someone else a chance.
It is completely fair to discuss whether HY's characterisation, styling, script or direction worked for us. What bothers me is how quickly a difference in preference turns into hate. "We can dislike a performance without declaring an actor talentless, and we can question casting without blaming the actor who accepted the role."
IMO HY was one of the reasons JYB remained watchable and he deserves credit for taking on a role that is somewhat different from the image people have of him rather than being attacked simply because some viewers imagined the character differently. 😔

yes i agree with you...their has to be some realism ..everything cant be picture perfect and its the subtle imperfections in the show that made it realistc slice of life and comforting drama to me :")
It was cutesy slow burn I enjoyed the chemistry between Jiang Yu Bai and Lin Zhi Xia ...After POJ I knew Tian Xi Wei will be grt but honestly I'm awestruck with Hu Yi Tian ..they looked so grt together 😍😍 I'll miss this drama n their friendship :(

Wtf, Bona is married, do you wanna see her cheating on her husband? Why would you wish for her to he with someone…
I’d appreciate it if you could hv just asked n clarified whether I meant Bona n Manager Ki 'in the same drama" ....since I didn’t know their real names I used the character names instead.... I understand how my comment could hv been misunderstood but u asked me questions about why I had want her to cheat, why I had want her with someone she doesn’t love etc - it would be polite n nicer to simply ask what I meant first 😭 I’ll edit my comment anyway to make it clearer......!
Also I came across your other comments in this show’s discussion thread n I have to say u really don’t have to take the drama this much to heart ... ultimately it’s a fictional drama... the script is already written n the show is going to go wherever the writers decide .. whether they cheat, don’t cheat or take the story in a completely different direction.. And of course u are completely entitled to dislike the character, the potential pairing or express your opinion about the storyline.. even I don’t support cheating but if a particular direction bothers you that much you can always drop the drama instead of boiling your blood over a fictional character 😭
wtf this is ur wish..okay its personal opinion i understand...bt this is weird and ruin the drama
Bruh calm down ...like someone said above...I meant different drama , not in this drama..I'll edit the text and add 'different" . That's why I wrote "THE GUY playing" manager ki n bo na NOT 'between manager ki n bo na" ...also added "keeping aside all relationships" but yes I get it ppl understood it wrong so I'll edit it.
Btw she was soooo pretty 😭 I just checked out her other works and she seems like a rookie but she actually acted really well!
