Yup! He never disappoints!

Does anyone know if Jiao Xu had an ulterior motive by getting close to Yu Meng?

Do we know how likely it is for this to be released Oct 11?

True! It was such refreshing change after all!

I feel the exact same way. This was just… mind-blowing. And in so many ways.
I don’t even know if I should be crying, laughing or celebrating now.
But at least I’m going away from this with a meaningful message in mind.

My goodness… I am at a loss for words. Beautiful story, beautiful directing, beautiful message. This drama was beyond just beautiful. Beyond my expectations. Beyond anything else I’ve seen.
It’s not “just” a drama. It’s a whole learning experience. In so many ways.
A life lesson, truly.

All sorrows come and go. There’s so many things worth living for.
So let’s all live well…

Oh, the legal industry, that’s interesting! And what a shame this is your first and last C-drama of 2026. There are so many good ones out there😂

Take care! (Hopefully, we’ll cross paths in another drama discussion…)

Thanks! I really love hearing different perspectives on the story too. It’s interesting how someone else’s way of looking at it can make you see things a little differently too:)

Haha, thank you so much!
I’m glad my thoughts resonated with you:-) This story just gives me so much to think about, and I love hearing how others interpret it too.

Yup- but neither will explicitly state it

This drama is really wrecking me
And that sentence about “hao hao huo”, living well, being repeated all the time😭😭

I know, but I just felt like it was over too soon

For me, the tragedies don’t necessarily cancel out the possibility of a happy ending. Maybe the story is deliberately redefining what “happy” means. A happy life isn’t one where nobody dies, nobody leaves, and nothing painful ever happens. Sometimes it is simply having the courage to continue living well despite all of those things.

That’s why I think “hao hao huo” is repeated so often. It’s almost like the story’s answer to all the suffering: yes, life can be bitter, people can leave, and things can fall apart, but you still have to live, and hopefully, live well.

I think I have a different perspective on the story though I do get you.

I don’t think the story is simply trying to show us that everyone eventually leaves us. I think it is asking us to look at what it means to keep living and to live well despite everything life throws at us: grief, bitterness, failure, disappointment, loss and adversity and so on…

The deaths and hardships are painful, but perhaps they are there to show that life doesn’t stop just because we experience unbearable loss. The people left behind still have to wake up, move forward, find meaning, love again, pursue their dreams and, most importantly, learn to live well. In that sense, “hao hao huo” feels less like a depressing message and more like an affirmation: life is painful and imperfect, but it is still worth living fully.
I agree that empowerment shouldn’t only mean career success, independence or strength. But I think the story is showing that women can have complicated, imperfect lives and still have agency over how they choose to live them. Happiness, love, independence and personal growth don’t necessarily have to follow one conventional path.

I can’t believe it’s already done airing. Feels like we just started yesterday. And it even ended before Agains The Current

Is it confirmed or still a rumour?

“Lan’er is late”
I’m bawling😭😭

I just realised this has 47 episodes😱 But does anyone know how? I thought Cdramas nowadays can only have a maximum of 40 episodes?

I think Lanxiang is also the name of a flower. And I heard someone say that the name Shen Rugu was to reminisce her biological family the Shen’s

I think I missed the scene in which LanXiang’s master gave her the name Shen Rugu. Anyone who remembers which episode it is??
