It makes me chuckle because my sister's husband is exactly like Zhuang Xu. He was incapable of seizing his opportunities throughout their school years, and they went their separate ways. One day, while my sister was in a relationship, he realized he'd missed his chance.
Two years passed, and then they both found themselves single at a party. They had a long chat, and he finally confessed his feelings, even though it was late.
They got together, and now they've been married for almost eight years. It just goes to show it's never too late. That's why I don't criticize Zhuang Xu like many people here. Even though Yusen is perfect, and I'm happy that he's ending up with the FL,
I can't bring myself to hate Zhuang Xu because I know we're not all good at love, but that doesn't mean anything.
I'm with you, also more interested in complex characters so here I'd like to see how 2ML ZX will evolve and mature…
I understand you. I like the second lead but I think not really for his character but for the actor who plays very well, it’s confused me, but in the Reality he is not good for the FL. Yeah…
I understand that some people feel sympathy for the 2ml (perhaps due to his good looks), but he's the absolute…
CASUALCD You're exaggerating a bit, probably due to your personal experiences. Here we have a young man who had his first love and has never been in a relationship, so you seem to forget that when you're a child or teenager, having an inferiority complex or being shy is COMMON! He hasn't cheated on anyone; he's just an awkward guy. This drama has a lot of misunderstandings, no need to blame this poor young man!
I understand why the second lead, Zhuang Xu, behaves this way. He's always thought he wasn't good enough for the FL because she's like a princess. So he set his mind on getting a good job and lots of money, and finally becoming a worthy boyfriend. But his problem is that he imagined all of this in his head without confessing his feelings. Even worse, he's acting out of jealousy and hurting his friend, who thinks she's his future wife, even though she can clearly see he loves someone else! 🤯 Despite all this, I can't help but feel sorry for him and like him, but I really wish he had acted differently and confessed his feelings sooner. Now it's TOO LATE.
