hahaha, i did hear of several cases like this where episodes that were not yet out have already been rated 😄 Did you mean Princess Agents? It's one of my favorites ever yet it has such a low rating. Oh, actually, it can't be PA where Zhao Liying appears from the first episode. But PA is an example of a great drama that has a low douban rating.
Shu Yi sure is a challenging role to take on. I admire Bai Lu's courage. But hopefully the drama will show Shu Yi growing up, particularly punish her for always lying until she realizes that honesty is always the best policy. I've been noticing that lying female leads who do not receive their comeuppance for lying have become prevalent in cdramas. So it would be great if this drama gives Shu Yi her punishment

antis are vicious. i've been hoping somebody in China would investigate who are hiring these paid reviewers and expose them to stop these attacks from happening.
People going after those critiquing the drama, be careful. While attacking actors or comparing them is an overall…
Those who find the story refreshing and entertaining also have a right to say our piece. From the comments, it seems the main bone of contention is that the critics want to have immediate resolution to relationship issues, while those who like the drama don't mind watching the issues unfold as the writer/director want them to. It's instant gratification vs patience. Regarding douban, I used to believe in it despite some reservations about it due to some of my favorite dramas having low ratings like Princess Weiyoug, Princess Agents and The Sword and The Brocade. Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms used to have a low rating too, in the 50's, though recently has started to climb up the 60's level. But after witnessing what happened to Fireworks of my Heart, I started to believe how infested with antis douban has become. The tendency of zealous fans to overrate their favorites has also contributed to the site's unreliability. In fact, these problems also occur in any publicly-available online rating system. Antis and zealous fans have destroyed their reliability.
it's not bad at all. I've seen a lot of cdramas worse than this. It just has a different kind of female lead that does not fit into the mold of sensible, mature female leads cdrama viewers are used to. But I admire Bai Lu a lot that although Shu Yi has a lot of growing up to do, she is likeable.
Shiyan’s car was at the hospital where Shuyi saw her ex w/ mistress. Shiyan was at home. So some of us think…
i just re-watched ep 2 and it did show how Shi Yue and Le Zhi having the same surnames has some significance. Shanshan affirmed Shu Yi's mistaken assumption that Shi Yan is Le Zhi's uncle by saying Shi Yan does have a niece with surname of Qin. Shanshan has truly been the source of flawed information for Shu Yin 😄
Those who keep trying to undermine this drama by saying tired criticisms like no plot, boring, draggy, etc, you're invited to read the topic "Choosing a Partner Like a Venture Capitalist with Shi Yan [Long] [Analysis]" in the Discussions section.
This is how an earnest viewer watches the show, allowing the story to draw him/her into this world and actually feeling the characters, not on a shallow level, but trying to understand what makes them tick.
If you want to watch a drama where characters do what you want them to do, write a script and get it made into a drama. Nobody is forcing you to expand your horizons by being open to a different kind of drama and characters.
I note its got a VERY LOW Douban score of 4.8. Wow! thats a bit embarrassing.
After what happened to Fireworks of My Heart, it's not a secret anymore that douban is infested with antis. It has become a joke. Only For Love has maintained its high position, sometimes top1, in ratings charts even after the douban rating was published. Nobody cares about douban anymore.
In fact, I now view high douban ratings with much skepticism. If one has paid reviewers to down-rate a drama. those same paid reviewers can also up-rate a drama.
I just finished episode 19 and I don't understand, Shi Yue keeps asking Zheng Shu Yi if her blind date is better…
Shu Yi once told Shi Yue about her ex-bf's girlfriend's uncle and that she (Shu Yi) is falling for him. Shu Yi thinks the mistress' uncle is Shi Yan, but Shi Yue does not know that, but has also started referring to the mistress' uncle as "uncle", not knowing Shu Yi has mistakenly thought him to be Shi Yan who is really Shi Yue's uncle. It's a topsy-turvy situation but that is what makes it funny and interesting 🤣
Shiyan’s car was at the hospital where Shuyi saw her ex w/ mistress. Shiyan was at home. So some of us think…
ikr? wonder if the author did this deliberately to deepen the mystery. there are so many surnames, why make the real and fake nieces have the same one 🤨
