Yeah...I don't know about that 🤣 i mean did episode 34 made it up for all the torture of awkward scenes we've…
Perhaps the scriptwriter and/or director believe in the notion that people need to suffer to deserve happiness. I felt this angst in one of my fave dramas The Sword and The Brocade where the leads got together I think in ep 32. Another fave drama Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms was also terribly angsty. But in the end, all the angst was worth the ending

i also have a feeling the scriptwiter and director adhere to the belief that people need to suffer to deserve happiness that's why they prolonged the angst

The discussion topic "Choosing a Partner Like a Venture Capitalist with Shi Yan [Long] [Analysis]" has a good description of Shi Yan's love journey up to when he decided on Shu Yi halfway through the drama. And the journey was just starting to get torturous then. Actually, his love journey started 3 years ago, when he first heard her name in the awards ceremony and has not forgotten her coz he probably develoiped a crush on her journalistic prowess. Shu Yi's love journey started when Shi Yan rolled down the car window when she pretended to be looking for a powerbank. Her eyes couldn't hide her admiration, but because of her flakiness, she didn't come to grips with her emotions until after Shi Yan got mad at her.

I didn't find it draggy at all because I was focused on immersing myself in the scenes. As for immaturity, it's realistic. Even intelligent people become confused and unpredictable when it comes to matters of the heart. The immaturity and misunderstandings are part of their love journey. I was totally engrossed in that journey.
Based on cdramas I've watched, there seems to be a belief in Chinese culture that people need to undergo terrible suffering to be able to deserve happiness. This must be why Shi Yan and Shu Yi were made to undergo as much torture as their lives could provide - to deserve the happiness they got in the end.
Yes, you have a good points here . . When a drama become popular, it will be subjected to so many opinions and…
Well said. Indeed I don't understand how people can enjoy watching dramas when they're more interested in nitpicking it . For this drama, it seems the most criticisms that lowered the douban score were camera angles, filter and fl's wardrobe. Can you believe that? I didn't even notice them! No wonder critics kept complaining about "no plot" coz they were more focused on camera angles, filter and wardrobe 🤬
May I repeat your last statement: "To watch a drama and to enjoy it is to understand the difference between analyzing it and appreciating it".
douban users complained moe about the camera angles, the filter used and the FL's wardrobe. Their main gripe about…
'just shows how nitpicky the criticisms have become. How much would camera angles, filter and fl's wardrode affect viewers' understanding of the story and characters? i didn't even notice those "flaws". No wonder critics kept yakking about "no plot" because all they were focused on were camera angles, filter and fl's wardrobe!
But trolls know that it doesn't matter what criticisms are lobbied at dramas. Because any criticism, especially when propagated by a swarm, undermines the target and that's the main purpose.
Regarding the main gripe, the flirtation is not a secret! It's even in alternative title "Flirt and invest with love" or something like that in TrueID release in Thailand. From the beginning, it's known that the FL is going to flirt to get the story. That is what makes the story dfferent. It does not say that all reporters do this, but that one particular flaky reporter did and look what happens! This shows that critics would say anything just have something to say, even if they're making no sense.
Shiyan’s car was at the hospital where Shuyi saw her ex w/ mistress. Shiyan was at home. So some of us think…
Shu Yi is one very confused girl. She’s so used to explaining predicaments away with lies, she hasn’t learned to deal with them straight on. This time, the predicament she’s facing cannot be explained away with lies and she’s lost
True this drama is an excellent study on psychology
the ml is intelligent, hard-working, a visionary, dependable, passionate about helping startups find their bearing, tries to be stoic when with business associates, especially those who undermine his capabilities coz of his youth and inexperience. he loves the fl unconditionally except when he gets jealous at which time he can be unreasonable
True this drama is an excellent study on psychology
the female lead is a quirky individual. she is smart, hard-working, cannot be bribed, passionate about giving something to society (by way of online magazine), but lies all the time. perhaps because she is in a perpetual state of conflict between lies and truth, she wavered when asked whether she loves the ml or not.
