This series is a visually stunning show with a thought provoking theme.
The major point here is that Xu Huaisong was playing all along from school times, knowing that she too had a crush on him, to get her attention and he did succeed. On the other hand Ruan Yu was admiring him ( the person he was putting up to be) from a distance totally unaware that he too liked her. If only it was as easy as 'Hi, I know you from school times and had a crush on you and wrote a book about it. Let's try it out!" Or "Hi, I came back because I realised you are in trouble because of our story. Nice to meet you. Let's go!" How one deals with the "re-appearance" of a secret crush is going to be very different with no one size fits all option One is still lingering on the crush but can't reveal and can't afford to get hurt. The other, hesitates to show himself, being always in the weaker position in the relationship. This is one of those shows requiring patience and a calm mindset to appreciate its nuances. It's also quite humorous . Recommend.
DeepSeek translation: Um, how to put it… I wouldn’t exactly say that (dislike sweet fluffy romcom). It’s more like (playing) a different type, a different kind of thing. It’s a kind of pressure. When you play the same type of role too many times, you start to feel like you’re running out of material. You lose that steady foundation, and you have to draw on everything you’ve got just to try to create something new—not playing it safe. That’s also why, in this drama, I took on another role of this type—a bit of a sweet romantic comedy type—Xu Huaisong, that character. Honestly, I think this should probably be my last drama in this genre. Probably.
For me, whether from the perspective of my career planning or in terms of my ability, I feel like this should be an endpoint, right? If I don’t have more life experience, or if I don’t keep growing, and as I get older, I think it’ll be harder for me to shape this kind of role—and to make you all like it. But Blossom Through The Cloud is a different dimension. It has a lot of workplace elements that people will see, and the direction and style will be more… urban. Yeah, it’s not going to be the super sweet romantic comedy type. So I think Xu Huaisong might be the last time you all see Wei Zheming like this.
As for Yan Ke and Bai Er Tizheng—those are yet another dimension. Same situation as what I just mentioned: after everyone saw Liu Chang and recognized that side of me, now there’s another role that seems like a villain. How do I present a different kind of villain in a different way? That, I think , is what’s really interesting as an actor. People might look at it and say, “Ah, the styling is so similar—how come the costume style in this drama looks like that other drama? The hairstyle is the same too.” Maybe that’s the superficial thing they notice. But when you’re actually watching the drama, who’s really paying attention to what hairstyle I have, what outfit I’m wearing today, what fabric it’s made of? Right? What people see is the whole person, and that whole represents the personality and traits of different characters. The genre might be the same, but each character is definitely different.
The extra scene right at the end of episode 7 😭😭💕💕💕🥰 Deep down, thats who Xu Huaisong is. Caring, affectionate and gentle! Ruan Yu, don't be fooled by that act he is putting up! I can see you are noticing these little things ... This is beautiful ❤️
Upto episode 6. The concept is novel. Not because its a story about mutual unrequited love but because it is presented from two perspectives. Her novel and his drafts. Their interactions while doing the comparisons and each having their own version of the 'scene' in the flashback is so witty and beautiful. Feels refreshing! So far so good.
Ruan Yu's neighborhood and her apartment is so aesthetically designed and pleasing to the eyes. My dream 🏡 🤪
The chemistry is 🔥🔥, the actors are good and the roles are a perfect fit. From the reuters it looks like the drama is a very faithful adaptation of the novel. Plus it's a light-hearted comedy, perfect for easy viewing 🙌✅️🆒️
