According to its Baike page (which is similar to Wikipedia), it is filmed in Qingdao (city in northern China, part of Shandong province)

Ah no problemo at all! This was a great well-written review that dived deeply into what you liked and didn’t like about the show :)

Ugh I really want to stop watching.. this is getting too nonsensical and ridiculous

One tiny typo: Shao Yi is Duan Yu’s nephew, not brother. But overall agree with your thoughts!

Just finished. Reminiscent of “Miss Ye in Wonderland” and “Legally Romance”. A cute story. I can somewhat understand a lower score (because it gets kind of confusing in the last couple of episodes) but not this low. Likely because it looks like people are gearing it towards the lack of quality ENG subtitles.

Np!

No, I would actually characterize him as a guest.he shows up for 5 min max and no romance whatsoever (I think he played a headhunter or some kind of HR person). I’ll be honest that I forgot he was even in here.

I am watching One Boat One World and I HATE how they killed him off!!!! What a waste of a hottie! Also wonder what he has been up to these last couple of years…

Ah, got you - yup, same feelings :)

Agreed, she went through so much! And not sure if your second part is a literal question but the sister (Madam Yun Ying) was always sickly and it was made worse when she kept watch over that stupid flame in her late husband’s family place of worship (I am not sure what is the English translation of ci tang, haha!)

I agree.. it started strong but once that evil villain was introduced/more in the picture (the unloved princess from Liang Guo) it went downhill quick. I finished yesterday but was curious about the score so came back to this page to see…I am not surprised it keeps dropping

I also agree… unfortunately I think SZS might meet his untimely end because of protecting her (and/or the general)… just a suspicion

Ugh, stayed up just to finish last 2 ep and completely regret it. Evil princess was a psycho b**** (I can’t believe that poor guy she was with sacrificed for her selfish ass). I don’t recall any drama in recent memory that I kept screaming f*** you b**** as much as this show. Even though they were both ascetically pleasing (I actually watched this because I find the FL actress to be so adorable !), I wasn’t really feeling the main CP chemistry. Sorry, not sorry.

Ugh I am torn.. rn the brother’s chemistry w her is so much better than ML. And I as wondering why he looked so familiar - he was the SML in Unforgettable Love too (the doc senior to FL)! He is probably from same agency as WZM haha

Yes!

Yes, it was so strange how their last interaction was him slipping away from the surprise engagement. At least in Battle of Changsha, he left her a letter (they were twins in that one). I’d like to see them paired up again too

Just finished and sad that it took me this long and totally agree that I nearly went thru the entire box of tissue for this show. So amazingly beautiful and realistic… I usually need a HE and steamy romance but this really did it for me. Love transcends the purely intimate/physical aspects and is about sticking by their side no matter what.

My parents now live in Shanghai but we are from Hunan. Specifically, the village we are from has a dialect that is not really intelligible with the “standard” Hunan dialect, so I get this! I can understand my hometown dialect but I’m not that great at speaking and wish I could speak it more, especially for my young nephew to learn.

Thanks, great list and very up to date! QQ- your #16 Always on the Move (love me some BJT) has already completed airing, no?

Agreed, Chen Ting is the worst mom I’ve seen in modern cdrama as well.. I just finished rewatching go ahead for the Nth time and I just have to fast forward through her scenes. I hate that the resolution happens only in the last 15ish min of the show
