For the new viewers who only started watching this drama when the English subs came out 2 months after it finished airing in China: this drama was a consistent hit with most of its characters especially Dilraba’s JHY and Allen’s Chang Yi holding the highest posts. JYH was the only female character holding either top 1 or 2. And eventually maintaining top 1 with a very socially distanced lead with whoever was number 2. If you weren’t aware of the news during its airing, it broke many records in Youku a which they hadn’t have since 2018. Only goes to show that the Chinese population loved this drama. They didn’t need the international viewers opinions at all., especially not here on MDL. It had proven its commercial success to its targeted market .Which was sad for those who read the novel and are fans of both Allen and Reba outside China who waited for a long time. To those who don’t like this drama no one is forcing you to watch it, just skip it. Don’t go spreading toxicity, the world is already one with everything that’s been going on. Don’t rain on other people’s parade or if you can’t help yourself, be morally responsible with your comments. For Reba fans see you in LOA or Prosecution Elite whichever comes first.
Ep 14 THIS HURTS I remember how much it hurt me in the novel and now it hurts me so much more. Dilraba tho. Wow.…
The novel was a total tear jerker! We could only wish that they did it that way but we all know that it wouldn’t do. But Dilraba as always owned Yun He/Aji!
If Dilraba carried on doing support roles she would overshadow the FL and get awards like she did for Diamond…
@Gizzy, I tried watching Diamond Lover just for Reba, she’s effective as the crazy Gao Wen but didn’t finish it since she’s not the lead plus the back and forth among the leads in the plot discouraged me. Wang Peng was good in Crush and My Girlfriend is an Alien . Waiting on Yang Mi’s drama with Xu Kai .
In my opinion Dilraba played the role well and convincingly as her conflicting emotions, pain/suffering, looks…
@Karma V, Totally agree with you on how she convincingly played the multifaceted emotional roller coaster of being JYH to Aji and back to JYH. That’s why our girl’s character was consistently number 1 or 2 in China the whole time TBW was being broadcasted. Even having a very socially distanced number with whoever was number 2, when XZ’s drama ended. It’s not all about shouting, screaming, and crying (for some they think it’s the height of being a a good actor). But it’s how the actor effectively gives life to the complexities of the role being played. If they wanted to see a crying Reba they should watch Sweet Dreams, but be prepared with boxes of tissues. Although, I also did the same in TBW even hugged a pillow. So, I’m assured that our girl can cry buckets; but JYH doesn’t have to resort to the dramatics which in my opinion some drama watchers have gotten accustomed to.
I want to give Allen Ren some love for his portrayal of our “Big Tailed Fish”. 😍❤️ I just finished…
You have very well articulated what some us wanted to say /thought but never found the time to write it down. I agree with @Karma V that you might consider putting this in the review section since it’s a well written analysis and would help viewers who are only hearing this drama for the first time.👏🏼
I can’t watch TBW on Croton and Viki for free coz I don’t like commercials and Viki won’t let you cast it on your TV without subscription😤😖😫😔..okay clicking resubscribe now
Here I am waiting which platform will release all,the episodes faster before I click subscribe to Croton and resubscribe to Viki! But Lo and behold Viki and Croton both released all of them, and for free? Is this a dream?!

For Reba fans see you in LOA or Prosecution Elite whichever comes first.
