Yizhi to Lizi " I can no longer accept your love"
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨✨✨🥳🥳🥳

Fully agree and all those banking and finance terms he uttered sound convincing and smart. Haha...waiting eagerly for the Eng. translation...

Although he looks like an idol actor with the cute dimples but he is just sooo professional and can emote all those conflicting feelings at one go!! Like you can get so drawn into his emotion and feel his pain 🤩🤩🤩

Even Liang Jie played a different role well here, not just a typical idol drama actress.

Yes, he was great and eccentric in White Collar too!!

I suppose The Little Nyonya (2020) had paved the way for Cdramas, including The Justice, touching on Chinese and Japanese tragic romance storyline where FL's dad was Japanese and mum was Chinese during WW2 in Malacca and Singapore.

The Little Nyonya was quite well received and was aired in CCTV. I guess it depends on the storyline although it is still a very sensitive topic.

A bit painful to watch so no bad ending, please. 😔

Reminds me of Stanford, the best gay pal of Carrie Bradshaw in Sex in the City.

Sadly the actor, Willie Garson has recently passed away.

@Nymphadora and editors, Congratulations!! This is the hottest article of the week with 111 Likes and moving up.

You have totally made me go back into reading novels mode and will do it over the weekend. Thanks! 😁😀

Only in ep. 20 onwards that Liang Jie's character, Siu Ling Dang or Little Wind Chime had her own side story and romantic links.

Just want to share in one of those BTS, Steven Zhang commented that Cheng YiZi is the most difficult role he has ever played in his career so far as he had the most "Retakes" or "NGs" during shooting of this drama.

I find The Confidence novel/manga interesting thriller and suspenseful. Of course, the drama adaptation was not as explicit and violent in prints due to censorship requirement but it was enough.

Elvira's FL character in The Confidence was more broken (physically and mentally abused) and had to fend for herself. Atleast in this drama, FL's husband, Yi Zhi was protecting her. People who dropped The Confidence was mainly due to the intolerance of violence and abusive relationship, not real romance.

That female character looks Caucasian or mixed race. I saw that in a trailer too!!

This drama is a good break from any typical idol drama!! Kudos for Steven Zhang challenging himself to participate in a non-idol drama.

After watching ep.1 to 18 in a weekend, I truly like the storyline and pacing.

Totally understand why Liang Jie is not FL and not pairing with Steven Zhang as the Li Zhi's role is not suitable for her. I did enjoy watching her pairing with Steven Zhang in "The Day of Becoming You", the soul switching romcom.

Elvira Chai Wen Jing is definitely better suited to play Li Zhi. She excelled well in playing a complex and vengeful character with a sweet face in "The Confidence".

Ok, maybe he wants to show the macho side of him as you mentioned he was already wet. LOL

Thank you for your view on the difference between the drama n the novel. To satisfy my curiosity I may just go and read the novel.

Glad you mentioned this and rant about this scene! I literally paused my tv just to see anyone in MDL ranted about this scene and found your comment, Jamila!! Thanks!!

Absolutely unrealistic and illogical for a driver, irrespective of rich or poor, would stopped n got out of the car alone defenceless to confront a bunch of thugs n robbers in the of the night.

I cannot describe my take any better than you @PeachBlossomGoddess

Unrealistic storyline or events I find unbearable:-
1. How come ZCS car booth kept spare dry clothes for Shiyi and himself to change after going thru a heavy rain but has no umbrella in the car that ZCS to use while standing outside the car drenched and waiting for Shiyi to change?
2. Uncle Lin's nephew was driving a drunk Mei Xing home but otw they were attacked by thugs n robbers. Rich people and their driver(s) usually have tools or weapons placed in car for self defence. The wealth size and influnece of Zhou family should have better security and defence tools, like armed weapons or something. Either the director has no logic or senseless in real life danger situations.
3. If Mei Xing is SML, why is his screen time being lesser that ZCS younger brother, ZWC so far up to ep. 20.

I also find the awkwardness sometimes unbearable. ZCS overly shyness and gentleman like behaviour remained after his marriage with Shi Yi is not just sometimes unbearable but also unrealistic in modern age.

After they have consumated their marriage, he suggested to sleep separately with his wife.

Throw away your common sense and just enjoy what this rom com has to offer.

Ok thanks!

Scarlet Heart 😁👍🏻
