I really don’t see the need to introduce new characters and dedicate entire episodes to their stories in the last quarter of this drama. The leads are compelling enough, so why shift the focus to completely new characters? As much as I love how badass our couple is as “partners in crime,” I’m really not enjoying the direction this drama is taking.
Also, the synopsis seriously needs a revision because none of that sh*t is happening 😂 I mean, can you really blame me for expecting romance when both the synopsis and genre label it as such?
The genres and synopsis should be corrected so people don’t come in with the wrong expectations.
I'm confused... am I sensing this right? Xing Mo has a thing for Ms. Ling, right? And not for Han Yi Jing? Because You Ning worded it like Xing Mo likes Yi Jing... but he seems to be into Han Jia Ling?
Ep. 8 … Their attempt at catwalking on the swimming pool was so poorly staged. You could clearly see them falling into the water on purpose. The surface looked stable enough to walk on as long as you stayed in the middle, but they deliberately stepped to the side just to fall in… making me facepalm. Well, I'll turn my brain off lol
Grandma's "redemption" arc was completely unnecessary and totally unbelievable. She mentally abused her grandson for years, yet they let her off the hook just like that? Classic Asian drama move. I get that it's a romcom, but if they wanted to redeem her, they shouldn't have made her so ruthless the entire time only to suddenly give her a heart in the last episode. Weak af writing… Docking a star for that.
Overall, it was a cute drama, but not something I'd rewatch. Decent for passing the time, with a few funny moments.
haha, because during their high school time, you see the potential angsty love triangle. but it didn’t get realised…
For me, it doesn't really have to do with the romance stuff... I guess I found that nostalgic youth/friendship/family part more interesting than what is happening now. And some of the characters start to annoy me lol
I actually shipped Fenghua and Xing Chi when they were teens… but ep. 20... They really turned him into such a twisted character. None of them had it easy, but his constant self-pity is just off-putting. The way he downplayed Fenghua’s achievement of earning her diploma was completely tasteless and so mean. The friends aren’t wrong... he has only himself to blame for who he’s become.
I really liked him... I hope he gets to turn his life around.
Ep. 19 was a really hard watch... How much more can a person endure? Poor Siyi... Did they have to kill of her brother too? Poor boy.
That "mother" of hers is topping almost all horrible CDrama moms ... Because she pushed her own son to death and even tried to put the blame on others. Shameless on a whole new level. There is no redeeming for her in this lifetime.
I just started this and I'm only on episode 1, but you know that feeling when a drama instantly clicks with you? That’s exactly what happened!
I’m absolutely loving the cinematography, the rawness and the storytelling. It's so well done! The child actors are incredibly talented, especially the little actress who plays Xia Feng Hua. She's such a ray of sunshine and absolutely adorable!
Also, little Si Yi is so beautiful. Is the actress really just 10 years old and the same age as the actress who plays Xia Feng Hua? I couldn’t find her listed in the cast.
I don’t mind Bi Wen Jun, but his cameo was so unremarkable 🙈🤷🏻♀️ It would have been SO MUCH…
Agree! That would've been cool haha Even if it was another actor from MJTY... it would've made much more sense if they watched MJTY because they referenced it already in the drama :D
I'm so glad a C-drama finally had the courage to cut off a toxic parent! They always try to force a weak "redemption arc" just because "but he/she is my mom/dad." No, if someone, blood-related or not, does something truly unforgivable, you don’t have to forgive them.
After years of watching terrible drama parents get away with everything, this was incredibly satisfying!
