There is another variation on that fun story, also starring the real life couple actors Zhu Yiwei and Bai Xinyi ๆฑไธๆช&็ฝๆๆก, but this time with FIVE cute kids and a mom who is magically gifted, as are the kids, wielding bell and fengshui luopan compass, or a computer!

I think there must be a mistake in the birth date (couldn't trace that one stated here, don't know where it comes from, maybe a namesake?). Other sites give his birthday as April 5, year undisclosed. Even if Cai Gang may have started "late" acting on screen, his first appearance dates back to 1996 (according to Baidu and Douban), he may have had small roles in 1994 too or have been involved previously in other capacity, in c-ent, at the time before turning seriously to acting later around 2004. But I think he must indeed be no older than in his sixties or early seventies, even with a good hair dye and skincare!
This particular story had a following before it even had a drama, the novel had a dedicated fanbase, infact i'm…
A following is not always the best thing. Take my case : I read both books. HL first, TFF later. Liked them both. Preferred the drama adaptation of HL to the book.
Looked forward to watch TFF, so can be counted in the "following" there, once it started after HL publication and later, drama airing; Albeit with some trepidation after it was clear the new production was recasting all characters that appeared in the original first drama adaptation, for the spinoff. Liked the drama version less than the book, now. But everyone sees things differently.
If I had not read the book before and followed the planning and shooting of the new drama (not closely, because to me BJT was not best choice, although I was not clinging to Victor Ma, once he made clear his reasons why he would not play the role even if it had been offered to him), perhaps I would have been more lenient then. I still came in with half a favorable bias and even reassured a few who doubted Zhang Ruonan as a choice there. The promotion and hype was normal, as was the curiosity from HL fans who wanted to see the spinoff, and boosted the heat index. I don't mind normal hype and I am happy that a drama gets positive ratings instead of having to battle vicious down-ratings and cyber-bullying of cast (like HL suffered, still rising to heights despite those hurdles that did not touch TFF which came in, surfing on the appeased waves, not ground breaking.)
The OST is good, so I added more info in the relevant thread.
This is not a bad drama, I was happy for Zhang Ruonan that she at last found a role that fit her perfectly.
To boil it down : I was disappointed that I did not enjoy the TFF drama as much as I expected I would... Glad that I could be brought to tears with laughter from the wonderful FILTER drama on the side (one that did not benefit from proper promotion and hype, but also, like HL had to rely on a totally new-won fan base after it aired, to get known and rise to good Douban rating : 7.4 today. Well, I like "dark horse dramas" when I find them ๐ Stuff like The Imperial Coroner, The Forbidden Flower, To The Wonder, Escape from the Trilateral slopes, in various genres ; HL and Filter were among those.).
I watch a lot, so, TFF is behind me now. I only came back because I wanted to check one song in the OST that I will mention in a companion piece for a wholly different drama : the slice-of-life and period piece Northward (it's not ready yet so don't rush to read it, besides that Northward drama is also very long, so there's time to catch up later for those who might be interested, but didn't dive in from start; my Companion piece may help then, although the story is not very complicated nor the cast too numerous). I like music a lot, and there are old songs as bgm in that drama, even some tunes that did not get mentioned on the official OST, but which I could recognize: very satisfying for me.
Btw there still is one tune in TFF that I could not find definitive answer for: the dreamy tune on the dance parts of Shuangjiang and her popping bubbles in Sang Yan's Overtime bar. If anyone finds the answer, I'd like to know. ๐

@LovelyDramas You are just wrong: you need to check some facts before you dive in like this. Hidden Love was the author's first published novel and drew on the author's personal story with an imagined adult arc....
Stayed up until 3 am last night making gifs of Sangyifan for my MDL profile page ๐ญ the brainrot is still brainrotting.
Oh my goodness, your page is even better than the drama : very very cute and appealing! Myself, I have unfortunately not liked that drama as much as you did (ah well, I stay with HL, so would have preferred all those characters from HL to be plain erased from TFF to focus on the story and not be annoyed with comparisons, also some superfluous arcs felt like fillers for me), but I always admire true fans who do nice stuff like you did there. You cut/found the best Gifs to extract as much sweetness as possible and showcase both BJT and ZRN. I probably will not rewatch TFF, but I may come back to admire your page once in a while! Sending a flower to you, since I can do it ๐ umm did you receive it ?
Nanwu is the community they leaved in and Beiyu is were Yifan transferred to so sang yan used to take the bus…
Ummm not "community they leaved" but the large town in which they live and lived. Beiyu looks like another satellite town, or distant suburb, or upgraded small town with decaying parts. Nanwu in TFF is modeled on Chongqing (China's largest city or municipality, which also encompasses small towns and even countryside and mountains!)
sending 77 flowers for JC-T's role as Tang 7 ๐ฅณ That was the best drama I watched in the light category since a long long while ! 8.2 rating ? people are stingy.... He's got my 10/10 wholeheartedly.
Since the commenter on FILTER forgot to re-post here, I will do it :
""it is Li Landi's 15th anniversary year as an actress since she debuted on 3/12/2010 at the age of 10 years old! ๐๐๐ Congrats to her commitment as an actress and may she have many more years to come with amazing work and roles."
FILTER was fabulous, playing on all emotions and delivering a very wholesome message. Li Landi was great there, alongside Tan Jianci, and a support cast that also had interesting characters and actors. I awarded it wholeheartedly my 10/10 for rating.
I've only watched through episode 27, but I did wonder about the invisibility arc, and figured it was something…
When you get to TQ and SCC watching the program about squids, you'll find that there is even more to it than banal psychological explanation of low self worth. This drama is really perfect. The real science observations woven in add a lot without feeling ponderously hammered in.
Btw, it is Li Landi's 15th anniversary year as an actress since she debuted on 3/12/2010 at the age of 10 years…
Today? Yes, congratulations to her, and may she enjoy still many returns, to be treasured like the "Bai actress" in Filter, when that time comes. โค๏ธ
What a beautiful drama with a nice message. The last few ep were a bit dragged but overall this was still a wonderful…
oh, last episodes were fine in my view. All loose ends were neatly tied, the future taken care of, and the happy end just beautiful without too much fuss, nothing was shortchanged. โค๏ธ
It's a very satisfying end, not a protracted drama full of fillers (well I am not going to rant about THAT other recent drama which stands at top, only not on top of my personal list, now: it has its own audience which is happy with it, come partly because they love the "sister" drama, so why review the spinoff, supposedly more "adult", to spoil their pleasure. I stay lenient, did not gun it down but awarded it my 8.5 so as not to drag it down. Filter: if if was possible to go over 10, I would, not leniently but wholeheartedly. There were high times in several episodes when I though 100 or 1000 might be in order!!)
