When she compared herself to that trained animal. >. < I mean she's aware but she still cannot do anything about…
That trained animal dialogue hurts. She knows it's conditioning, but she knows she's not strong enough to break her conditioning. All she can do on her own is prove that she's good at her profession despite her mom trying to influence people around her to her detriment.
yup she has the role of normal sfl we always see but that is what make it interesting to see a twist to the normal…
many cdramas start with fl head over heels with ml and will abandon everything for ml. i like that xuqin may be in love with him but she's not recklessly in love to the point of being impractical about it. but she can't help herself trying to win him over, after all she's been clinging on to that promised love for so long.
Ugh I haven't even read the novel and all of the posters on Viki are so annoying I had to turn off the comments,…
right? if the drama really doesn't appeal to them then drop it. but if you're curious enough then trust the storytelling. there are plenty details scattered throughout the different scenes. i dislike adopted mom on my screen, but watching her scenes give me more understanding of xuqin's psyche.
In addition to what has been already said, she is afraid that if she continues to pursue him and her family disowns…
sometimes I wonder why some viewers don't get that 10 years ago was just graduating from high school. this isn't in other society where you're on your own after high school. at that age, how could she have chosen him over her adopted family's pressure? one doesn't need to understand her completely, but why some people can't even empathize with the young xuqin idk.

they do a good job at showing ml still likes her, but there are hidden reasons why he's hesitating (more than just the sudden break up). if he didn't and he likes someone else, then she's really usual ml-chasing sfl lols
Actually he is waiting for her. for a second in ep10 he is about to give in but she backed down again
coz she talked to both mom and dad, and both couldn't support her if she pursued her love. she's been traumatized enough by adopted mom to be abandoned if she misbehaves. like she said in ep10, she's not ready to lose everything if he's not going to reach out to her. meanwhile, she never knew how much he tried and what her family did (she keeps asking her family if she received letters while she was studying abroad) and song yan isn't telling her either.
It's often frustrating when mid-series, people are asking for "explanations" when you've got to trust the storytelling. And then there are those saying they fast forward scenes like how can you understand all the layers of the story if you're not going to watch it in its entirety then say you don't like it.
The award of weirdest drama of the year drama goes to... Durian's Affair. Weird characters, weird dialogues, weird…
the funniest part is how they are acting with such serious straight faces but funny lines. i would burst out laughing if it were me. the actors are such pros. i'm drawn in by this humor without being comedic.
