I had forgotten how much of a cocky manipulative individual the second ML was in. Edit- I still love this drama though. Its quite nice to see several healthy relationships and interactions depicted.
Besides Yu Le Xuan who already knows, the previews are out for the next 6 episodes, and only one other person…
Agreed!!! Most Cdramas would probably do better if they were shorter no more than 24 episodes for this kind of drama. I don't mind a longer drama but it has to be good all the way through. So many drag it out unnecessarily and end up ruining the show in my opinion

Its already more than half of the show and only two people know. I have seen the previews and it doesn't look like they (at least the roommates) will find out in them. I really want to watch how they will react
I dropped Forest at like ep 4 and doubt I will ever go back to it. I just couldn't get into it.
Descendants of the Sun - I absolutely love, simply because of Yoo Shi Jin. He was the highlight of that show for me and the only reason I rewatch. Also, the bromance between Big boss and Wolf.
Eternal love of dream gets better in my opinion - after the human arc. Fair warning there is a moment that absolutely breaks my heart (you will know it when you see it) but DJ more than makes up for that after. He is just so funny and such a sweetheart.
Pinocchio - meh! I finished it like a year ago but nothing really comes to mind except that I liked the relationship the ML had with the grandpa and that it was a good view on the ethics of the news industry.
I mean in the show - most cdramas are voiced dubbed and not usually by the actor themselves. Most production teams tend to like to give the FL a high pitched, overly girly voice that just sounds wrong to me. Her voice- at least the one she used in Arsenal military was what I was talking about.
Well this is the first Chinese drama I've watched in a while. My expectations were raised after I saw it had 58…
Just as an fyi - the story of BJ and DJ in ten miles was not based on the original novel because someone already had the copyright for that- it was created purely for this show. To be honest, I don't love it. Its the only part that drags down Ten Miles in my opinion.
Eternal love of dream is the story of BJ and DJ from the pillow book - I would give it a try if I was you. I can't stand the pairing and their scenes in Ten miles (I always skip them when I rewatch) but their story in the pillow book is absolutely adorable and so hilarious. Plus A-li is back but for some reason played by a girl but its still the same A-li
It's a Cdrama. The FL is always an impulsive, immature girl. Frequently, she has bad hair, too.
I wasn't clear before, your explanation helped me understand so thanks for that. I had thought that there must be a reason and now I understand it. I am a fan of the industry and so I appreciate the hard work that the creators put in. I do wish that there is one typical characterization that would disappear thou - that's the one of a second fl lead being super successful in her career, with everything going for her but she insists on the ml who doesn't want her. I mean, why, why.

@eon This explanation has gone a long way to calming my frustration with the typical CDrama FL characterization. Makes sense that they don't need to cater to the international fans because the local audience is large enough to sustain that ecosystem.
72 episodes!! Seriously! Why, oh why, do they do it to us. Challenge accepted!
Edit- 20 eps in and I know why there 72 in total. Each episode has multiple breaks for commercials I guess after which there is a recap of the last segment. Not forgetting the recap that's at the beginning of each episode.
I watched this right after Bad Couple and surprised how good they both were compared to more recent Kdramas. I was wondering if maybe one of the reasons for this is that dramas were more expensive to make so the standards were higher.

The synopsis is everything I never knew I wanted in a drama.
I decided to hold off on watching it until it is fully subbed or I learn mandarin which ever comes first.

As to your second question. I would argue that she loves both but in different ways.
