My thoughts on the break up: Si Xian, who had worked so tirelessly to get where she was in her career and was…
Thank you for your explanation ❤️ At first, I thought it was the breakup itself that I didn't like. But then, I realised that what I actually hated was RSX's outrageous, yet absolutely unnecessary rudeness during the breakup scene. Even if she thought dumping FMY was an inevitable step that could do both of them more good that evil, even if we as viewers accept her motives and decide that her actions are (at least, from her own perspective) somewhat justified, it still doesn't explain why call him 'trash' and so on. Of course, I know this drama cliche when one partner initiates the breakup to protect the other one and uses harsh words on purpose to evoke anger and bitterness, which are supposed to make the breakup itself more bearable... And, btw, I absolutely detest this cliche, but what's worst, it feels like it doesn't really apply here. Truly disappointed with the writing and sorry for the actors who had to reenact this stupid scene and make it look real.
There is one thing I didn’t like in episode 23 when she was giving conference… when she was talking about…
So true! This triggered me as well. Besides, this makes no sense within the broader context: why would she then hate her mother for choosing her career in art and yet praise her mentor for practically the same thing (ok, the mentor didn't ruin her family for the sake of her career, yet, it is clear that the baby girl is almost abandoned). Very weird logic.
I don't think the change in the ML's attitude has anything to do with the social distance between them, for a…
Thank you for the support, and, wow, so beautifully said ❤️ And yes, totally agree, falling not for the pretty face of the flight attendant, but for the maturity and growth of the lady pilot, actually does him a lot of credit.
Hi, everyone! I've been following the comment section with some interest since the broadcasting began, and thanks…
I don't think the change in the ML's attitude has anything to do with the social distance between them, for a junior / trainee pilot is just as 'lowly' to him as a flight attendant. The gap is huge in either case. So I am pretty certain it's about the inner transformation that the FL has undergone in the three years. If you have ever encountered people who enjoy themselves and their life, who live in line with their goals and values, you know how magnetic their presence can be. And this is what has happened to our FL: as a flight attendant, she was meek, quiet, as if a bit of ashamed of herself, and definitely not satisfied with her position. She desperately desired to live the life of her dreams, to reinvent herself, to tune in to who she was always meant to be. Three years later she IS the reinvented version, the person who has worked hard and ultimately achieved her goals. Her newly gained contentment, confidence, and integrity have changed her self-perception and naturally began to inform how other people perceive her. So for me, it totally makes sense that FMY didn't recognize her at first (she is in a way a new person), yet instantly felt magnetised.
Hi, everyone! I've been following the comment section with some interest since the broadcasting began, and thanks a lot to all those who share their opinions on the drama, because it really enriches the whole experience and helps notice things I otherwise would have overlooked. I've noticed that quite a lot of viewers seem to dislike the 'sudden shift' in the ML's attitude towards the FL: basically, the problem is that "he ignored and then insulted a 'lowly' flight attendant, yet instantly fell in love with the super cool lady pilot, and it kind of makes him cheap." In the comment below I would like to share my perspective on that shift, which, I hope, will provide another way to look at the whole situation (for the record, I haven't read the novel, so it's just my understanding of the plot, which might differ from how everything is explained in the original source).
im currently on ep 22 midway and the female lawyer sheng lan is so frustrating. when the fl asks sheng lan what…
Frankly speaking, that scene made me feel more frustrated with the FL. In the first place, why on earth would she go to that cafe to see someone who, as she knows for certain, has a secret agenda and has even tried to ruin her relationship previously? Then, even if she went there out of pure curiosity, why would she take so close to heart something this Shenglan-lady had to say? I mean, come one, you're a grown up person, why can't you be a bit more confident and assertive when it comes to your own life? Why do you allow other people have a say?! Nope, she has nothing better to do than to listen to someone else's rubbish and then sit in her apartment feeling that her world has fallen apart.
I personally liked it a lot at the first few episodes but now it’s not as enjoyable for me because they’re…
Anyway, I'm not imposing anything here ☺️ Thanks to your explanation, now I can see why for some viewers the drama is a bit slow and the central conflict a bit stretched. Just saying, that for me personally, it's all fine, so far.

I think that ultimately depends on the person. Some people are braver in that respect when they are younger, and for some the courage to express their feelings openly comes with age. Anyhow, I support you in that ML should have explained how he and his sister are involved in the matter. The only logical explanation I can see to it is the scene in the beginning of the 2nd ep., when ML let FL be the one to decide whether she wants to acknowledge that they know each other, and then just followed her lead (which I think was rather considerate and respectful of him). Since FL preferred to pretend to not know him and ML supported this legend, it probably would have made no sense to involve the sister and explain everything in detail... That's just my guess 🤷🏻♀️

Thanks for your reply! I see your point, though do not entirely relate. I think it's exactly because both the ML and the FL are adult people who have been out of touch for some time, they are so hesitant and cautious. When you're 18, it's probably OK to say: 'Hey, I like you. What do you think?' It's not so ok when you're 28. Besides, no one wants to look like a fool who hasn't got over a school crush after so many years.
I haven't seen all the episodes that are already out, though. Maybe the progress gets really draggy in eps 10-12...
I known rating is not important for a drama to be good or bad. But for the first time viewers check the rating.…
I've rated al the episodes I have watched so far 10/10, because I really like this drama, -- and I am a picky eater when it comes to films and dramas. Hope it helps increase the overall rating a bit, because as you've said, viewers do check the rating before deciding whether they want to invest their time and emotions into a product or not. Though, truth be told, I think seasoned MDL residents have already grown rather sceptical about those figures in the box. For instance, some of my most beloved projects have under-8 ratings, and quite a few dramas I dropped midway are rated 8.7 and higher. So you never know.
I wonder what's wrong with the rating: why is it so low? 🤔 The drama is highly enjoyable, I'm liking it a lot, even though romance dramas are not typically my genre of choice, and as for the actors, it's the first time I see both of them. I mean, it is really sweet, like, Hidden Love-kind-of-sweet 🤍
Now, I'm not sure I understood the after credits scene? Is Bi Zhi working for the Time administration and remembers…
Most certainly, Bi Zhi remembers everything. He went to that bar on that very day on purpose to see Bei Lu. He seemed very happy to see Bei Lu. And, what's more important, he didn't seem discouraged by the fact that Bei Lu didn't recognize him or the circumstances. And they exchanged contacts, which apparently means that this time Bi Zhi doesn't intend to leave soon and is sure he will either be able to help Bei Lu remember what they have been through OR to create new memories together. I think, this ending is just perfect and it gives a huge opportunity for the second season, because they can basically repeat some of the tropes (thanks to Bei Lu's amnesia) and this repetition will be totally justified.
Can’t help saying this, but there is a big SPOILER in my comment. You’ve been warned.
One of the many subtle, yet truly beautiful things I loved about Ya She was Bi Zhi and Bei Lu’s last meeting before Bei Lu’s memory was wiped clean. Come to think of it, it was Bei Lu’s friendliness and sincerity when he portrayed Qing Zi Yi that made Bi Zhi cherish his friendship with Zi Yi and Zi Yi himself more. It’s a lovely parallel, which becomes visible only when you think about it a bit more: in the first episodes, Bi Zhi was drawn to Bei Lu only because he reminded him of an untimely lost friend; but, in fact, his special attitude to Qing Zi Yi was partly due to the fact that Zi Yi reminded him of Bei Lu. Love it, when they do things like this in stories about travelling in time.
I have just finished watching Ya She and I know I am not going to get over this wonderful project neither quickly nor easily 😍 It's a lovely story, beautifully told and enacted, visually pleasing, touching to the core and so full of hidden gems. Even the episodes some MDL residents called ''fillers'' were actually nice and in their own way enriched the plot by allowing us to know side characters a bit better, so that we do not concentrate exclusively on the mains, however incredible they may be. I think I would actually like another ''filler'' episode dedicated to Xiao Min, because we somehow do not get to learn more about her past ☺️ I seriously need Season 2 ASAP, as I am sure do many of the viewers. Please, Tencent, if you can hear me, give this show a Season 2 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
