With Song Wei Long, I would've liked more! lol

Definitely!!! But even more so when it's negative as it tends to leave the deepest imprint because it teaches you how to protect yourself, not how to grow.

ep 14 - Food for thought - By Xi Guamg's account, one needs to have courage to pursue someone... but one also has to have the courage to allow themselves to be pursued ☺️ never thought of it that way before... I take this to mean, not sabotaging genuine interest because it feels unfamiliar or undeserved.

I've always hated the trope of the character of the FL's bestie who never shuts up, always up in her bidness and just annoying... Yin Jie is actually the first one who hasn't annoyed me!!! I dunno what it is but she is quite funny and just adorable!

yesss like my whole world will end if you block me ya idiot

She liked him at first sight, it's a crush... her very first one... logic doesn't really factor into those 😊

you can say you like him without putting down other characters thereby justifying your reason for liking him... what you consider bland and overly nice, others may think it considerate and polite... that respect you demand goes both ways

aawww so cute at least someone's a fan of his - jiā yóu!!!

No, I think he thought she would wait and would always chase him. That's why he pointed out that his number's still the same. He did want her to feel guilty because he realised she had moved on - his ego got smashed and he regretted not making a move earlier.

It's not just bout whether he should reject her at all or be direct. That takes a back-seat to how he actually treats her as a person. The way he talks to her is condescending, rude and patronising. From what I've seen so far, they hardly know each other yet he felt it acceptable to talk to her the way he does.

Family pressure isn’t a free pass to be a dick. His actions under pressure are the whole point of his character, not an excuse for it.

He's so friggin' rude!

Wish Jin Zhao had the Godzilla instead... but it still had an acceptable amount of screentime 😍

I rest my case.

Calling it pretentious is just a way of rejecting the effort required to understand the show.

doubt your inbox could handle that much depth

That take completely misses the point—and then you congratulate yourself for doing so!

The problem here isn’t that Ah Jin has the audacity to be annoyed. It’s that some viewers can’t tolerate a woman whose made mistakes, but still be upset, angry and messy at the same time. They expdct her to be calm and accept what she's dealt just 'cos she's guilty.

The series isn’t asking you to side with her. It’s asking whether you can recognise that being guilty doesn’t require becoming silent, grateful, or be emotionally accepting on cue.

“Was the writer smoking something?” is always a reliable way to announce you didn’t understand what you were watching but felt confident anyway.

In trying to make sense why this script was even agreed to by any of the adult actors - I wondered, was it secretly a launchpad for the son actor’s debut? If it is his debut lol Because honestly… it felt like the adult cast was just background props. Even his friends displayed maturity beyond their years.

The son got the meaty dialogue, the mature monologues, the moral compass moments, the revelations, probably more screen time than both leads combined — at one point I thought he was about to start counselling the adults.

Meanwhile, the adults — you know, the actual romantic leads — were benched mainly to stand there looking concerned while the kid unpacked the entire plot.

Kudos to the boy actor. He delivered. He showed up, he acted, he nasically said, "if you won’t take the spotlight, I WILL take it!"

Gonna now look for a drama with a revenge arc against the mother so I can feel some relief!!!

Honestly, I don’t think the show was ever trying to hand us a clean “moral.” That’s why the ending feels unsettling for some people. The author isn’t preaching a message — she’s showing how messy people get when they’re carrying years of unprocessed trauma.

If there is a takeaway, it’s this -
Trauma doesn’t excuse what they did, but ignoring it traps everyone in the same cycle of hurt. The characters keep mistaking guilt for love, desperation for devotion, and silence for safety — and that’s why everything spirals.

So the point isn’t “who was right” or “what’s the lesson,” it’s that when people refuse to face their wounds, even their love becomes something that damages instead of heals.

That’s the uncomfortable reality the show leaves you with.
