Finally, after finishing Always Home, I can get back to this! Have they gotten together yet? I am a bit behind on the eps and wanna know if I have to leave it to marinate a bit more ><
😭😭😭 me too crying as I read the quotes you listed argghhh im gonna have a hard time moving on from this…
The way these quotes are only from the final ep and it's still filled to the brim with such beautiful and thought-provoking quotes... I wish I could try and compile all of them throughout the series, honestly. The scriptwriter might have fumbled a bit with some of the pacing here and there but they did a spectacular job with the dialogues! And I will be missing this cdrama a lot as well!
Ep 30 QiQi has to be the most likable and mature version of her in the whole series! She has truly finally found herself and is shining brighter than ever before...I am glad to see even if we had to wait.
The final scenes of the last episode spoke to my soul. "The more precious something is, the less you can achieve it just by working hard. Growing up means accepting that I am ordinary and normal, and there is nothing wrong with that."
"Life is not a test. There are no standard answers. Everyone will answer differently. I have the people I love around me and the people who love me. That's enough to make me happy."
"Maybe some of our friends are meant to accompany us on a short part of our journey. But our lives are complete because of this short journey. Those who have been in our lives will be part of our souls for the rest of our lives."
"They always say that change is a constant thing in life. Houses get torn down, friends get separated, and even the closest people can leave. But I always think that even if that day comes, the traces of those people left behind will always follow me and accompany me."
Literally bawling my eyes out for the nth time in this ep as I am typing this comment. I will truly miss this drama. These characters have accompanied me, remained in my thoughts for weeks now, and managed to evoke deep feelings and stir up all possible emotions within me.
Currently rewatching ep29 and this line struck me...This drama has so many beautiful and deep quotes, honestly...I wish I could compile them all! "Every star is far away. The stars are lonely. The same goes for people. But as long as each star illuminates one another, they can gather and form into the brightest galaxy."
To find like minded people who can accompany you and help you create your very own bright galaxy must be one of the greatest blessings life can offer.
Also the whole forest/campfire scene on this ep, broke me and mended my heart all over again! I love my HuanJing cuties so much!
Did they mention in the drama if huan er won any place on the chemistry contest in high school? Hahahahaha
It wasn't mentioned clearly but based on the talk she had with her mom that day Huan er didn't seem to have made it and her mother was sort of comforting her.
I am still planning to re-watch the last 2 eps before moving on but l plan to go and continue The first frost…
I meant The First Frost. It's just kinda too heavy when it comes to the FL's background which leaves me feeling melancholic at times while watching. Always home has its emotional moments too but it's not depressing for me. FL ends up with Jing Qi Chi.
From here to where? What are yo u guys going to watch next?
I am still planning to re-watch the last 2 eps before moving on but l plan to go and continue The first frost (honestly this drama is too depressing at times for me so I need another drama on the side and breaks while watching) and I heard The Best Thing is nice so I will give that a try too!
In addition, from early comments, a lot of people didn't give the show a chance because they thought the ....
Honestly I never get how people in MDL can rate dramas just after few eps...Usually I am the type to not rate smth until I reach the end of it or at least 3/4 into it...Cause for me someone's rate holds value only if they know the material they are talking about to the fullest...
EP25 was so fucking cute and funny omg main couple are soooooo cute together I love them so much 😭 unfortunately…
IKR?? The late night rendezvous at the boys' dorm & the kabedon scene had me in stitches!😭😂 As for the secondary couple Song Cong truly deserves better and it's sad to see them drag out the SC/QQ relationship so much...Just break up already! Scriptwrter really did SC dirty...
Why is the rating still 8.1? It's strange because comments are 90% very positive. And the funny thing is that…
Tencent kinda messed with the promos for this drama and I think it's been less known internationally/ many have yet to watch it...Hence, the low rating...But it definitely deserves more attention and a higher score!
i haven’t finished the drama yet, does song cong end up with du man or qiqi?
In novel with Duman but here in the series I have heard from spoilers he ends up alone or in just "some" type of non confirmed relationship with Duman. Good news is that he does break up with QiQi around ep 26 or so!
Is Qiqi's character sick? Why should such character even be a main lead. I really feel bad for song cong, he deserves…
True...But I guess it was to shed some more realism...After all, not all of the friends or lovers we have end up being nice and decent. Sometimes, there are some crooked and "sick" individuals mixed in! And I guess that's QiQi here. What upsets me personally it's not her character or existence in the drama as a whole BUT the screentime that was dedicated to her...Like they should have closed her arc wayy sooner and finally give Song Cong the happy ending he deserves with Duman instead of dragging it out...So yeah they kinda failed with the pacing there!
As a comfort let me inform you that in the novel he ends up with Duman eventually! I guess they didn't have enough…
Agreed I would have been way more invested if they did that! Honestly, QiQi got too much screen time for nothing...She started as an annoying self centered individual and stayed the same even after years... The only way I would appreciate her character would be if there was some growth to her character, but sadly, she remained the same self centered and shallow person she was...Like what was the point? She only left viewers with a bad taste in their mouths...I would have much preferred to see more of Song Cong's sweet romance with Duman cause he deserves a happy ending as much as HuanJing!
