Hahaha... ok... Sang Sang is supposed to be only 14 though! But no worries here, cos there is no romance.

Isn't My Best Summer a romcom or romance like that? I haven't watched it. But no, he won't be like an idol here. The only time he looks pretty probably the first day of recruitment of the gold panner (the one in the GIF). After that he's just look tired, sunburned/tanned, and dirty, like normally people who work in the mining.

Yeah, I agree with you. Since I watch many C-dramas, many of them have side stories that can be enjoyable or boring/filler. Since this one is only 12 episodes with total of 9 hours. The focus will be the ML search for his brother.

If you like crime/suspense/thriller dramas, give Light On Series a try. They're short, usually 12 episodes. This one, The Bad Kids, and The Long Night, all in the same series and 12 episodes. Since it's pretty suspenseful, you probably will watch it in one go.

I know, right? I like romcoms but I can switch mode (not mood, lol) to Dark Mode if the story is good... I think people don't like it cos they expect Chen Fei Yu in a romantic mode or idealistic adventurous mode (like Ever Night). This is probably more like horrorish?

It's different because the setting is not in the city, so it's not like a crime drama. More like... a wild west, western drama the Chinese way? I don't know, lol. It's more like a survival story.

I don't watch Who is the Murderer, I heard people complained about it. But before I watched this one, I actually read the comments and people liked it, so I gave it a try.

I think it's because it's not for everyone. It's quite dark, gruesome, but no gore, because it's a Chinese drama.

No worries, the first gif doesn't even hurt Chen Bao Jin ;D. Enjoy the binge-watch!

You will like Chen Bao Jin (Chen Fei Yu). He's like going into an adventure, and dark one though. Yes, he's still alive.

What do you think? I'm glad it was added into the MDL database. It wasn't before, since they said it's not a Korean show.

Yeah, I think I read that this translator read the previous one and felt it was not translated right, so she translated again. For me it's like reading an English novel, lol. I mean the translator did a great job like she was the author.

I did. In fact, I wanted to watch even before it was airing because I already read the novel, when I found about his upcoming drama in my article ;D

Me too, I also want to watch it for Okada Kenshi, having watched him in Chugakusei Nikki ;D

To avoid missing hidden gems, I learned only watching her regular videos about news, like what's airing, filming, wrapping, etc. Not specific first impressions or reviews. After reading MDL comments/reviews to avoid sad endings and stuff like that.I give every drama a chance to watch the first and the last episode, and kinda believe my own judgment in watching a drama, based on my mode ;D

Initially I put the link in my article, but the editor suggested to take it down since fan sites deemed as illegal sites on MDL, since it's not official translation. The translation is well done, like the translator wrote the novel, lol. Beware of steamy parts (two of them) tho ;D

There are story differences between the novel and the drama. In my opinion I like the story line in drama better. I explained it somewhere to someone in the comment down below .

I watched it and I have no clue what they're talking about. Do you understand Japanese? What is the summary of the story?

Yes he is, isn't he pretty ;D

The plot is the same as in the novel. In the novel, she goes into an accident in the construction site (in fact I think it is also a temple), falls into a coma for sometime where she experiences her second chance, then wakes up. So, in the novel it's also a subconscious dream as it's explained by the doctor. You noticed the visitor log, right? Every day her mom and Lu Xun come to visit her, mom in the mornings and Lu Xun in the evenings. That's where the input of her dream because they talk into her unconscious mind. Adding her own regret of the past and desire for a second chance, because of the reunion. All form into her dream.

I know they talk to her unconscious mind, because she dreams things like her parents love toward each other and the kids (when mom visits) and she and Lu Xun date at the uni (his wish, when he visits). That's how she also realizes about the message on the lighted billboard comes from him, she doesn't see it in the real past.

Don't worry, Lu Xun has always loved her even in the real past. There are hints here and there in the drama, even in the beginning of the story before she falls into coma. Like what I put in this article, a hidden spoiler in the picture when she asks when she won't do overtime anymore, he answers when he gets a girl friend (meaning her). Also during reunion, he says his love life doesn't come true (with her). Only Qian Wei who thinks because Lu Xun and Zi Xin don't become a couple in the past, that's why he holds a grudge and overwork hers. Because in the real past Qian Chuan likes Zi Xin so Qian Wei gets Zi Xin together with her brother (they dated). But even in the real past, Lu Xun never likes Zi Xin. He always secretly likes Qian Wei, but she dated Chong Wen.

Oh yeah, do you know why Lu Xun makes her work overtime? To motivate her to take the judicial review exam. Also... so she won't have time to date guys... LOL. He tried to confess to her in the past (two times in her real past in the novel), but she never realizes it.

I hope that helps you to know that it's not over yet. Sorry for the long explanation ;D

Finally I got to watch with English sub. I'm glad I waited till the sub is out since I was kinda confused what happened to him. I agree with the ending but I noticed the pulse increases as the background sound.

It's a good story I don't understand why the rating is low.

Yes, I like it when it's shown quite early that he starts liking her, as per scene in the sport field.

In the novel, they end up together. Since this is a romcom, I bet they end up together after she wakes up. Remember the reunion scene? ;D
