I hope so. Because it is very unprofessional for your psychologist to be following you around and even starting to develop romantic feelings for his patient.

Let's hope its because he has always known her and not the case of stalking your patient from your mental health institution.

In fact the drama should have clarified this earlier before all the presence and stalking Chen Mo is doing. Even socialising with her work colleagues and meeting her at odd hours outside his work hours.
By not showing why he is always around and even fighting her dad, the drama depicts mental health professionals in China as unprofessional and people who will likely date their patients.

Nope! She was like that even when she was younger. She targets children of rich and well off families and studies their weakness and uses it against them. Remember the friend she borrowed a dry cleaned cloth to visit and later pasted pages of her diary on the school board.
I do agree she has a personality disorder, but no, it is not common or the usual thing for kids to have this disorder.
I do blame her mum, she broke her. The mum was very poor, yet she took her a way at 5 years or so from her rich dad whom she has been living with all her life. No explanation, nothing, just forcefully taking her. That will scar any child and unfortunately, she did not get any psychology help for this trauma.

For Bai Liang Liang, the girls from rich homes she targets are what she imagines her life to be if her mum left her with her rich Dad. It didn't even help that her mother kept marrying different men and dragging her along too.

She's a broken person that is filled with hate for her mum.

Yep. They just wanted a beautiful random shot that has nothing to do with the plot 🤣

I’m also watching it while I wait for new episodes of Pursuit of Jade and the mental health angle is badly done. Hopefully one day C-dramaland learns to approach mental health issues with proper research and tact.

I noticed C-dramas aren’t so good with mental health stories. It’s like they can’t research it properly or want to. The subject matter is either stereotyped or scathed around.
I also wondered on the follow up plot, and then calling the lady as her emergency contact when she has parents. I mean on what grounds is a supposed best friend the first person a psychologist calls for a supposed patient when the patient has living relatives. Unbelievable 🤦‍♀️

The shoe is interesting but I fear 30 episodes is too much for its kind of plot. I fear in trying to make up story for the 30 episodes it will start going on a merry-go-round like the FL’s other drama with Zhang RuoYun (Light of Dawn), and alight of Dawn was only 18 episodes.
Hopefully the producers have enough story to keep the current steam.

Started this when it was airing and forgot to finish it. Waiting for new episodes of Pursuit of Jade and I remembered it again.

Glad I got to finish it. Now I have to find another job lace holder while I wait for new episodes of Pursuit of Jade 😭

Nope. I understand Chinese culture and people very well. Got first hand experience. And I know Chinese people cut off family that abandoned them a lot.

Ok, seems I will drop this show. The FL character is written as unrealistic. She’s written like some form of model human. I mean who tolerates a family that abandoned her and didn’t even raise her, yet distances the family that nurtured her. No one will tolerate such a family that didn’t raise her. Even then blackmailing her and making monetary demands, nahhh! It’s simply absurd.

I understand curiosity to know your roots if you are adopted, but when that family are literal vipers, then it makes no sense to tolerate and accept them considering there is no emotional attachment from the beginning.
Not only did this family abandon you, they are not even remorseful and still blackmails you to extract from you in your hardwork and little you are making. Yet the producers want me to accept its is a completely normal for such a saintly FL character. Naaah!
Anyway, watching such saintly unrealistic character is pissing me off.

Ahhhhhhhhh! This show! After every episode I want more! I am in addict mode 🥲

Oh, a based on real life events? Ok, then. I give it a pass.

💯

Yes, the first few quests felt valid. But then they added unnecessary quests too. I agree, the man in black plot didn’t have to be so long. It was pretty obvious after a while.

This show started out good until it ran into the vicious cycle of merry-go-round. Seeing they didn’t have much story to tell, the producers should have kept in at 25-27 episodes. It would have probably not ended up as terrible.

The happy ending felt like compensation for the whacky storytelling, direction, and overall production of the show.

Fast forward just to get to the end since I had invested a bit of time to it. 😮‍💨

Yep! I felt that decision was unrealistic of the screenwriter. For the ML’s character who listened to her mum at every stage (even fought her dad for the last letter), meant she would have taken her mum’s wishes to get a degree even more seriously. Especially after a year of being away and speaking to her father again.
The continued refusal feels like “convenient writing” just to keep her in Shenzhen and make her some successful person who came up through odd jobs. In reality, this won’t be the case.

For that era in China, a degree was still very much prized and for someone who held her mum’s words dearly, a degree is even more prized to her. So, I do not understand the plot at all. It doesn’t flow naturally.

Exactly 🤣

This show keeps going round and round just to get more episodes. 🤦‍♀️. Tie the story together already, why drag it out so much until it loses meaning.

I also just realised I’ve loved every drama with the FL that I’ve seen. They were quite good too.

This show leaves me wanting some more after each episode ends. It’s so addictive.

Finally I was able to complete this drama. Such a beautiful and emotional story. Will miss it now that’s it’s ended.
