really? so she and dylan are alike. dylan also did not graduate from acting/film university

Shi Yan's low-key confession in ep 15? In a temple, he surreptitiously put fortune sticks that say "... the right one is already in love" in one container and gave it to Shu Yi for her to draw a fortune from 🤣

ikr? 🤣

this is the best acting i've seen of her. it's easier to act out crying scenes than making people laugh without becoming a caricature (i've done some amateur acting). Shu Yi is a complicated character. she is smart but also naive. she tries to be as sophisticated as shanshan but her conservative nature holds her back. one of the funniest scenes in the drama that viewers probably didn't notice was when she was wobbling after her horseback ride with Shi Yan and trying not to show how scared she was. it's small gestures like this that add layers to her character and make her funny and lovable.

i guess Shi Yan is the taciturn type and his eyes are more expressive than his mouth 😄

Shi Yan's business talks show not only how intelligent he is but how passionate he is about making a contribution to society. It also explains why he is extra careful about a romantic relationship. As a venture capitalist, he is all about risk management. It's part of his psyche. But Shu Yi understands where he's coming from. She also understands the world he lives in. So, this shows that, at least, in intelligence and interests, they're compatible.

hehehe, she reminds me of Bridget in Bridget Jones' Diary. Somewhat shameless, she gets into all sorts of embarrassing scrapes. But she's lovable like Shu Yi. And Mark Darcy just accepts her as she is, like Shi Yan does.

when Dylan mentioned this in an interview - how he has learned to accept how he looks, even his eyes - i realized that's the reason his gaze strikes different. their unevenness makes them extra mesmerizing 😄 then i got conscious of other peoples' eyes (including mine which are uneven) and realized how common this condition is, even among celebrities, such that when i see even eyes in celebrities, i wonder if they had been surgically fixed 😄

i rather thought your post was aggressive thus i replied in similar manner

i like slow burn, allowing the couple to get to know each other better. and this actually made me appreciate Bai Lu’s and Dylan’s acting skills more. this drama could have easily become a slapstick comedy but their nuanced acting avoided that

i also have the right to express my opinion on your opinion

she spoke then i also spoke. i suppose we have the same rights?

Just because it's not your cup of tea doesn't mean it's bad. I'm sure if you let other people know what dramas you like, some people will say they don't like some of those dramas. As you can read from the comments, some viewers are actually enjoying this drama. People have different likes and dislikes. If you don't want to be flexible or to expand your horizon by trying other types of dramas at least be respectful of others' preferences.

3 big bosses approached him while he was filming fyh to talk about future collaboration? and one of those was the big boss from mangoTv?

i thought it's on iQiyi? which bigwigs visited him?

i also cringed at the jokes in starry love. but the difference is that the cringe factor here is part of the joke. Shu Yi is clumsily trying to be sophisticated like her friend, pursuing a guy for revenge. But because she is acting out of character, she is doing a bad job of it - being very tacky and cringey, ending up being outrageous and funny 😁

FYH?

possibly. or maybe it has gotten confident it can go head-to-head with the big guys after the success of Only For Love

ahhh, giving iQiyi a dose of its own medicine when it aired a drama starring the same lead in a currently airing drama? 😄 it's David fighting Goliath though. I just read that iQiyi's market share is probably 7 times MangoTV's. that's why iQiyi is looking like a bully cutting into MangoTV's success.

i really admire Bai Lu's and Wang Hedi's restrained acting here. In the hands of overacting performers, this could have turned into slapstick comedy. Shu Yi is a quirky character - she's smart but can be too bold and impulsive. Shi Yan's calm demeanor balances Shu Yi's quirkiness.
