Is this drama going to finish filming?

Agree she looks good in all her costumes, they make a beautiful couple ^^

It's a good drama that deal with a mother and daughter relationship. The romance is really cute but not the main focus, there's also a second couple with the brother. For annoying characters there were some in the first half, but they disappear after ep 16. Some people complain about the mom, but i find she is the driver of the plot and also very funny.

Agree, my mother is not as bad but she's also has the tendency to nag and she could never take any criticism. Even my sister who is older would get into an argument with her because they don't see eye to eye even though she has married and is much older than mch. Still we're a family and love our mom even if she is set in her way and that will not change.

I agree with lots of the things you wrote here, and that's how i see xukai too. He was the only actor i will watch any dramas of his regardless of the actress, for other actors it depend on the dramas and whether i'm in the mood ^^

Thanks for sharing ^^

That depend on the characters he is given, if the character was childish then he played him childish, if the character was mature then he played him mature. You complained about his acting as being boring but surpringly xukai was the only actor that could get my attention from watching all of his dramas compare to those other actors who i seen in their other dramas. For example luo yunxi, i saw him in ashes of love but i didn't have much of an impression of him other than he played a good guy turn bad. So that depend on the audience also.

That good to know they were lucky and gotten good roles that shot them to stardom, not all actors got that chance due to all the good roles go to the more popular idols. Good to know bailu went for the popular route, she only got noticed after her pairing with xukai, and then later paired with both luo yun xi and allen ren who were both more popular than her. Xukai did the opposite and paired with less popular actresses because he care much more about acting and wanting to learn from older actresses who were more experienced than him. He also wasn't as lucky as most of the roles he were in reduced his screen times, and his dramas more focused on the entire casts rather than just him as the main lead. Recently he started to pair with more popular actresses and he will keep improve in his acting as he get more notice for his acting rather for his good look.

Understanding that those actors are older who has lots more acting experiences, i haven't seen you compare other actors to them, so why are you comparing xukai. Also let not pretend here the toxic fanbase that you complained are mostly bailu fans who can't accept xukai pairing with other actresses, why are you talking to me i like zhou dong yu and love his chemistry with her, but it's true alp was such a good drama but got lots of haters to damage the drama reputation by bashing the actress, and xukai was also bashed for his look because they can't bashed their acting. Xukai is still young, he still has lots of time for improvement in his acting, but as of now he's in the right direction and he will keeps improving. No need to worry about him, as you see his fans who love alp also love zhou dong yu and those who don't are not really his fans, but fans of other actresses.

I can also list xukai different roles, he played a prince/general, a devil son/sect leader, a young master who is carefree and narcissistic, a time traveler who loves to played pranks, a bad boy who turn good, a wastrel who became a general, a high god/an ordinary fairy, a martial artist/doctor, an orphan with no memory/a mysterious man who wear a mask, a prince/warrior/king, a young cultivator, a cold aloof ceo/a family man, a nerd/business man... Let me ask does he has range, yes he does just because those who people who have prejudice against him because they don't like the pairing does not mean he's not a good actor. I notice there're lots of bias when talking about actors, luo yun xi has paired mostly with actresses younger than him and is doing well in certain genres, there's no bias when it comes to him pairing with younger actresses, while with xukai every pairing he has, there will alway be complained about the actresses being too old for him, the actress bad acting, the actress not attractive enough. Need i go on, in conclusion it's rarely about xukai's acting but about appearances, this just speak of the kind of audiences who watched these drama, who don't truly watch the drama for plot and character devolopment but romance, xukai attract different audiences to his dramas, you don't have to like his dramas but stop making it about him because it's rarely about him.

You have a funny way of talking regarding ester yu, her character in saf6 was criticized heavily for her voice and in regarding love between fairy and devil to journey to you, xukai also experienced growth in his acting when he played in legend when his character was introverted and quiet to arsenal military academy where his character was extroverted and narcissistic. They're actors so they should be able to play different type of character.

I rate xukai acting very high since his three dramas came out in 2019, those three dramas were able to show his range and how good of an actor he's. Once upon a time in lingjian mountain was a slapstick comedy, there was little romance and it was a low budget drama but got very good rating in china because of xukai and the fl acting. There was some talk that xukai didn't need an fl in this drama, he was able to stand out on his own. Compare him to xiao zhan who was much luckier who gotten his popularity from the untamed and gotten high praise for his acting and didn't get as much criticism just because he has one drama that got really popular because it was a bl. My love for xukai is similar to those people who can't seem to stop talking about xiao zhan and wang yibo for their one drama and went about making a nuisance of themselves in praising them. Xukai has fans who love him and maybe they're not as loud, but we're loyal fans who love him for the different characters he shaped in his dramas. Don't tell me he's a bad actor just because someone said so, or someone complained he didn't pick good scrips, i like his script choices just fine, true most of his dramas might not be to their liking because they don't have romance as the center he was made to be support in many of his dramas and that's my only complained, but not everyone watch dramas for romance, so save your opinion for someone else who cares.

I thought the romance between mao and the brother are good after the awkward phase because she saw him as a brother first. I have this impression of mao as a free spirit, so to me she wouldn't care about societal pressure of her being a single mom and just do what she wants just like her first marriage and her divorce. What i notice is there's no parents in her life, and she adopt the mai's family as her own family, so i wonder what happen to her family since we were never introduce to them.

Did you say fl was more into her ex? Fl was alway embarrassed to show any intimacy around her ex in public space, and always got mad at him and he alway has to apologized, but when it comes to ml she actively initiated their first kiss, or her wearing a sunflower hat and dance for ml when he was upset to get him to smile. She was waiting for him outside his room the whole night after his father died just so she could be there for him. You must be skipping a lot of their romantic scenes if that is the only thing you came up with. Also grandma plan all along was for him to find a family to adopt him so she got her wish, and yzm got his wish of finally belongs to a family. This is a family drama, romance between main leads are understated but still give you butterfly feeling asking for more.

It's mine too, xukai acting was so raw here.

No his father change for the better. The relationship between main leads and second leads are good, they didn't have any major misunderstanding and were always supportive of each other. It's family drama and the romance is not the focus but still important.

Yeah agree there was no need to kill off the father, i got a premonition when mch's father was telling yzm he regretted not speaking to his father when he gotten ill because of his embarrassment about his father married so late in his life. Yzm loss the last remaining family member and it was really sad how the father and him was about to reconcile their differences. It was really unfair to yzm. I think this is to show in life there's rarely a second chance so grab it while you can.

I didn't see any guilt tripping, other then a depressed mother who see no value in her own important any longer, since her children have grown up and don't need her any longer. She left so she wouldn't be a burden on them to care for her while she's sick. I think cancer is a serious illness, those who has gone through with such an illness or had a diagnosis would understand better the mom and her fear of going for treatment since she afraid she won't make it as she has nothing to live for any longer. The daughter in order to give her mother a reason to live finally understood her mother and their bond became stronger as a result. The mother is less meddling and can finally enjoy her own life, what i got out of this drama is the idea of being a family and being independent, this is what mch learned from her grandma when she was still alive.

I understand that, it just is seemed to me the daughter has moved on and forgave her mom, but the people in the comment can't seem to get that, and kept bringing it up to hate on the mom. This drama is an example of a mother and daughter conflict that we can somewhat relate about a mother and daughter's journey of growth and their love for each other.

What is toxic behavior, in life people makes mistakes and they learn and make amend. So the mother made a mistake and she apologized to her daughter and eventually becomes much more relax and accepting. Family is like that, many times you don't get along with each other or not see eye to eye, but eventually you learn to forgive and move on to become better because at the end of the day we value the people in our lives because they're family, no matter what they had done to us in the past, we look past their faults and accept them for their shortcomings, just as we would like those people in our lives to also accept our shortcomings.

Mature romance as in both of the main leads are in their 30s, have career of their own and the relationship will ultimately leads to marriage. In this relationship they both are not in a rush to get marry because they're not tie to conventional means that is force on them by society, they're not pressure to get marry and are comfortable with the way they're in their relationship. Also i don't mean mature romance as being explicit or sexual since this drama is aired on tv in china so it would be censor if it has any mature contents that are not fit for viewers. The most explicit we have so far is of that kiss mch and yzm had on the bus or that time when yzm sneak into mch room wearing only a sheet because her mother took all his clothes, both of them were being playful and we get the sense they already at that stage of the relationship even if was just implied.
