Is there a lot of angst? Does the ML and FL break up again after they got back together (after the 5 yr time gap)? Are there a lot of misunderstandings?
How annoying is the 3rd party? Do the leads deal with the 3rd parties properly? I hate it when leads try to preserve the pre-existing working relationship / friendship and don't make things clear and thus create unnecessary misunderstandings
There is no episode gap, they broke up at the end of episode 24, then episode 25 is already 6 years after that.…
Nice. So the "break-up" wasn't very angsty? I was very afraid of a repeat of "Your are my Destiny (2020)". In that drama, there was also a time-gap of 3 years there. And it took another 10 episodes for the 2 main leads to be together again. Like that misunderstanding didn't get resolved by them merely meeting up... Damn irritating.
So I was very very afraid that this drama will be like that. Time gap for 6 years, and then after that the 2 leads misunderstand each other for 6 years - so it takes forever the misunderstanding to resolve
How many episodes did that "breakup last"? Like how many episodes is that 6-year gap? I cannot stand draggy dramas that takes forever to resolve a breakup.
They are quite sweet together. But both of them need to learn to control their temper and to communicate better. They say the worst things when angry only to regret later. But the conflicts mostly resolve itself within 2 episodes so quite fast. And happy ending
Is there any annoying, pesky 3rd party? Or some angsty triangle? can't stand those protracted love triangles with irritating 3rd parties who don't know that no means no.
Very irked by He Yu in the show. I am ok with antagonists and friends who also like the same girl, provided that they abide by the rules of fair play (公平竞争). But seriously, He Yu have reached a new level.
He Yu pretended to be in a relationship with Xing Yun so that Xia Ke will allow Xing Yun to leave - that I can still grudgingly accept. But what I cannot accept is when despite seeing the state of the company and how Xia Ke is hurting (even Xing Yun wasn't happy at all), he still opted to hide the truth from Xia Ke and Xing Yun. He was perfectly happy to watch at the sidelines and let his best friend fall into darkness and his best friend's company fail, all so that he is able to get a girl he likes (but who obviously isn't happy being with him at all). If I have a friend like He Yu, I would have broken up the friendship in a heartbeat. This is pure betrayal and selfishness. This is the prime example of the kind of friend we MUST NEVER EVER keep. I wonder why Xia Ke still kept him as a good friend after this whole debacle. Totally unbelievable
Was irked by Yao Qing's actions at the beginning, but she redeemed herself by deciding to tell the truth to Xing Yun (and ask her to look at the company's application). Yao Qing's intervention allowed Xing Yun to understand what is going on - and as a result, saved Xia Ke and his company. At least, she still has some shred of human decency left - and is still a good friend, who is able to put the friend at the forefront. Furthermore, she did this despite the opposition of He Yu who was too selfish all the time.
Didn't really like Zhang Yu Jian character in this show. He was too immature and like a child. Yes, there was a gradual improvement in character, but it was very very little. Even till the very end, I did not see a big improvement.
That decision to disappear for 2 years at the end without a word to You You was just plain immature. I admit that the decision to leave the entertainment scene and let the online vitriol calm down was acceptable, but that does not mean you leave the girl you like in the lurch, without any word whatsoever. Love is about facing the ups and downs of life together (有难同当). The mature thing to do is the talk to You You and discuss with her what he intends to do and see how they can overcome the adversity together.
I much prefer the character Zhang Yu Jian played in LCDF (Yan Mo), where he is much more mature and responsible. Seeing this 360deg change in the character he plays here makes me irritated.
Also, is that any stupid misunderstandings by annoying 3rd parties that take forever to resolve?
