No Xiao means Little, and Da means Big. Da Qiao is Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao is Little Qiao. Da Qiao is the older cousin, whose full name is Qiao Fan (Qiao last name, Fan first name). Xiao Qiao is our FL, full name Qiao Man. So Xiao Qiao is a nickname and should be in that order. And the characters are Chinese, whose name are last-first in order.

I lol-ed when the Bianzhou soldiers, after a very short fight with Yan, now all followed him. I greatly enjoy this drama, and find it hard to ignore how easily convinced all the NPCs are (e.g. when Manman gave a speech and turned around a whole town).

Ep 19 was so intense. Wu Jin Yan is SO GOOD in this. Also the number of people who died lol if a new character appears, I'm inclined to assume they won't last for more than 4 episodes (usually less).

I heard the sub is fixed now up to EP 8.

He made the sister reveal Lu An Ran's burial location to save her; in the first timeline especially where he didn't want to kill her (I know, low bar), and in the current timeline An Ran also remarked that in the first timeline it took him 3 years to take in that concubine - and we know that the concubine knows him growing up and has always been infatuated with him, so it's not like they just got to know each other later. The 3 years was in consideration for An Ran (again, low bar, but Mu Ze has a really low baseline for caring here lol) just a few examples! As you can see, these are all toxic behaviors even if they're caring behaviors.

I think both are true: he cares for her, AND he is full of red flags. Will elaborate in the next reply under spoiler tags.

There are people like this in real life though. I do think she's a weaker villain, esp if you compare her to the other more interesting antagonists, but her motivation is realistic to me.

Agree! I accept that people can use growth and forgiveness for past mistakes, but LJM hasn't apologized even once for all the horrible things he said to Ning Meng, even as he now acknowledgez her talent. So until then...he's still not a viable romantic candidate for her :(

It explains, but doesn't excuse his behavior. Taking care of Ning Meng when she was sick is the first step. There are many many more things he will need to do to redeem himself!

The FL is just that good :D it's a good career/office/achieve your dream kinda drama.

I don't see any viable redemption path for Lu Ji Ming, let alone a romantic path. I wish this drama was not a romance at all but a drama about how Ning Meng fights against all odds to achieve her dreams. It's so toxic that she would eventually end up with (as already spoiled in the trailers) the CEO who verbally and emotionally abuses her continually.

This drama is trying to be both a romcom and a workplace drama about the entertainment industry. Our main leads' dynamic is actually the most interesting part of the drama, but they only show it for less than half of each episode. The other subplots and side characters are not that interesting. I remember The producers did a good job of focusing on the 4 main leads while still showing interesting entertainment industry storylines that the main leads are involved in. I'll keep watching for the OTP, but will have to ff the other scenes!

Oh I don't think she ran away- she said she just wanted to go to the hospital to have another premonition dream. For a career woman like her it feels realistic to get a bit nervous and curious about how many kids she will have. She did say she was gonna come back and I believed it :)

Wait what tasteless joke?

It's on YouHug media youtube in the US and on Viki too.

In the US as well, so weird! Anyone knows why? At least it's still on Viki and YouTube...

I have a show hole in my heart since this ended! How can we move on :(

I don't know how many times I've watched the closet scene in ep 30 :p he's such a tease! And the whole setup is hilarious. Some things don't change, whether they're 18 or 28!

Besides the weird jump between 27 & 28 (so much angst only for them to treat it like nothing happened and Qian Wei, on the brink of giving up on her belief that Lu Xin loves her, just...went and started her pursuit again?), I'm very happy with the episodes this week. I did wish that we had that dramatic sequence in the novel of intense kiss in public - classic airport chase + her declaration of love + him rushing back from his trip to "confirm" (ehem). When you love someone for so long, I would expect a bit more...I don't know, excitement or some sort of adjustment in dynamics, from boss-assistant to gf-bf? In any case, so excited that our couple is finally together in real life!!

Same!!!! It would have made such a dramatic reunion!
