RURU

the hate isn't towards his rejection (that's the only realistic thing), it's toward the method and unnecessary words. he's cruel in his actions by leading her on while allowing the other girl to act as a girlfriend or somebody in a situation ship with him. he made the fl feel like she's coming between them cz he doesn't clarify anything (led to misunderstanding of her waiting for him later on too which was funny cz who's gonna wait for a guy who's not clear). His hesitation makes sense but acting as a boyfriend with the materials being sent over and asking why she didnt use them then commenting on her heals and saying she's lazy and unmotivated. no he's just rude and unworthy of a rich not poor girl. he needs manners before he decides on pursuing a relationship (it'll be too late for him anyways but I hope he doesn't settle with the 2FL, she deserves someone who likes her back so she doesn't end up evil)

why explain urself to this man !! He's a walking red flag, both words and actions (especially words). I don't even see what she likes about him cz he's not even nice to her let alone does anything for her so what attracted her to this man other than his looks? I get the childhood friend cz she grew up with him and seen sides of the guy but all she's seen from him is being a top student and majorly rude with his advices (I would've slapped him already so I really hope her rejections later on in the series are stronger than this cz if not then the fl will not as strong as I thought she'd be)

"leaching off ur parents" !! I can already imagine what type this guy is. definitely no second lead syndrome here. he's the type to say rude and abusive words in the name of love or "for ur good". I just hate the exes vibe they're giving off so I hope when she falls for the ml she'd be indifferent with this guy (anger shows care with these types)

yes! I was the plants scene was brought up again with the mother so I thought she'd be the one to confront him but it took her 2 second to fold. I didn't want a fight but the mother's arc was so underwhelming and had potential to address their relationship problems. also their love is immense and that's true but love doesn't keep a relationship intact especially if the couple isn't honest but I guess him disclosing his rehab records was a step forward (tho the racing offer given to him later on was so random "you're all healed now" then what's the point of his struggle while climbing or telling her to look at his records and might not recover?) there were many loopholes but the overall vibe was not bad. I HATE the ending tho. the wedding deserved a proper RING AND DRESS and a serious tone not the way it was handled (wayyyy too teanagy) and the side character's outfits? it's like time didn't pass for them and they stylists didn't bother a new set for them cz they just appear for 2 dinners.

oh my god yes but honestly I think the mistreatment of the mother was a good touch cz although it negatively traumatised him into feeling alone, it aided in him seeing mumu as another human being to be loved but not a real sister (the mother made sure he knew that) so I believe his early feelings were just concern for a fellow human and not fully familial. it's a gray area but that's why the separations were needed for it to not be wrong

He continues to hide the sad stuff. When will this guy understand that she wants to go through the good AND the BAD with him. That’s what a relationship is. Treating her like a precious jewel not to be hurt is just hurting her more (this is same mentality parents have not wanting their kids to be hurt so they shelter them from the world) when will ppl realize that it’ll only feel real and respectful if the person is transparent. Mumu has been a major green flag with her understanding to his suffering, she deserves to be trusted to worry for him and not feel like he’s a burden. She stood by him through the poor times and the dangerous stunts so he should know she can be there while he’s getting an IV drip! She’s not fragile enough to cry seeing him in pain. She has more tears from this guy’s lies than she does from the actual truths! It’s a pattern that will never stop with him cz he’s still living in his trauma of being a burden without seeing the resulting damage in MuMu. Unfortunately no one can tell him of her suffering cz they all sided with him and her mother can’t be the one to tell him cz I’m sure mumu hid it from her so now her side of the pain will never be told and he’ll continue to act this way even in marriage.

honestly the whole situation is frustrating but I still wouldn't root for someone else cz no one has as much devotion towards her as him nor can she love anyone else the same way so she'll end up settling rather than loving that person BUT they need to address the damage he did and she needs to see it's partly her fault for not even noticing this problem in their relationship whenever he hid anything bad. she always ends up finding out rather him saying and the resulting conversation never gave him the impression it's wrong to hide stuff, it was sanlai who told him (he even had the audacity to shout at sanlai "she's my girlfriend I know what I'm doing " when he addressed this problem "I'm doing it for her") so he needs the lesson so it doesn't repeat but otherwise he's boyfriend worthy and madly in love

no way cz he said to the mother it was jin Zhao's choice so this would be make him so shameless. a big part of the separation is everyone aiding in the lies (which was weird honestly cz even the kid thought it was cruel) and u're telling me the alcoholic deadbeat was the one to cause this? if so then it explains why even after success the ml still didn't contact her (the one person who stood by him all his life says he's not good enough for his kind then his reluctance to believe in himself makes sense now)

I was proud too but i don't like she did that thinking he's married, I wanted that despite him fulfilling her dream and is single, she'd be mad but her excitement and leaving the pen and being the one to find him and initiate the reunion is slightly disappointing cz she's the one to allows bring him out of his shell so seeing him doing the opposite for once would've been better. the crying tho was perfectly directed

they showed the scene of him meeting up with her post accident which caused the confusion but basically she says to sanlai before going in "u were in contact with him this whole time right" so this is the meet up 3 months post no contact cz he's on" a mission" (she even thinks he wasn't in the accident cz he looks normal) but they show the flashback to what happened after his accident with rehab and how he's normal infront of her but he still breaks up with her so she can go to her mom without worries and have a better life (I think her photos and texts of how nice it was in Canada during the 3 months fuelled his insecurities of being uneducated and poor so he let her go even tho he could now walk)

exactly and it just added onto her trauma, even sanlai could see the damage but what I hate most is everyone's compliance to this fiasco (at the start it made sense but the continued lie especially with lightning was just cruel that even a child commented on it) but from the previews we see she's folded pretty fast (the misunderstanding and the painful climbing was not enough honestly). I get how much she loves him but what he did was cruel so he needs to see that before she forgives him, if not right away then at least he should discover bits and pieces while dating

honestly a misunderstanding is what he deserves after all he put her through. did he ever wonder if she'd want this separation? was it truly for her sake? he kept tabs on her and knew she was not committed to anyone so the moment he got enough money to buy the old house, or buy the cafe or even just done with his studies, he should've gone to her. he was good enough before all this but even after it all he still thought it was better to have everyone lie and dig the trauma of abandonment further? his love immense but he needs to have courage and be the one to pursue her back or this will just not be a good wrap up (it's good so far so plz dont ruin it)

oh then I hope she doesn't have residual feelings for such a man while dating the Ml and got over them before dating cz it'd be a fresh start. if she ends up doing the same thing to the ml cz of those feelings then it'd just make her as bad as the 2ml for not being a 100% with the ml. the trailer shows a happy relationship so I guess it won't be too much of a problem

can I get a spoiler before watching? is it the kind of story where the fl chooses between 2 leads who like her or does she get over her crush and falls for the ml long before the 2nd one confesses? I don't like when the fl gets confused just cz her crush likes her back when she's fallen for someone else. it has to be a clean rejection or it'll feel wrong (something like "jealousy incarnate" drama pisses me off)

honestly I get his resentment towards the king; he saw his so called friend's weakness and stepped on him to get a girl (the queen's initial feelings with for the left state but cz he had no power to say no to the king, she had to accept the guy as well and get over the left state dude) it's not his fault cz he truly would've died then but the resulting revenge post power should've ended with the king's death and the old lady. unfortunately once u get a taste of power it's hard to let go

we know that from novel spoilers but it wasn't portrayed in the drama so it made it seems that way. we can't speculate stuff if they won't show it so now the separation seems pointless. he's already mid rehab and her mom doesn't need her for long anymore so it's just his insecurity at this point and her gullability to not realise how big an event this was. the fact that they get together after the reunion pisses me off cz I'm sure she'll be all excited seeing him again and he'll find the courage to be with her just cz he's healed (he'll just be with her if everything is roses but that mentality is not bad in a relationship; if u can't get through the bad together then is that really respect for ur partner?). she'll just accept him again without thinking of that like she did during his undercover work (when he hid info ) and the 3 months pre breakup when he was "finishing his mission" as if that was enough of an excuse to lose contact if it was the real reason. she loves him alot but this much leniency is how a gap unintentionally forms over time

I get the ml's position but is the fl that guillable? a major racing accident and he's fine? yes she saw him standing and talking so let's say she trusted her senses enough but losing contact for months? and no body's telling her anything about him? was he not so in love that it warranted slight suspicion with this silence, even the breakup itself? come on first few months she was with her mother but she's having the time of her life at school and can visit once or twice in between (it's not impossible and the radio silence should worry her)

she saw the accident tho (in the preview) so cutting off contact will make her think he's dead which is worse but i expect it from him considering he's the type to hide bad news rather than tell her (as he did with his undercover work). sanlai told him it'll backfire on him and he still continues to do this. i hope he initiates the reconciliation this time cz she keeps chasing him and forgiving him and he's not treating her as an equal

Oh a breakup is not necessary then just a long distance relationship (they’re so devoted it’s practically impossible to be with someone else so why breakup)

Is she actually sick or a ploy to get her in Canada? She won’t be there while he recovers from his accident then?
