This drama is a slow burn romance, and if we fast forward, we would have missed some subtle elements that the writer wants to convey. Example: In One and Only, The Zither that ZSC used to play and Shiyi picked for her practice named : Chang Feng in Forever and Ever: ZSC’courtesy name is also Chang Feng In both past and modern life, they have the same meaning: “ the waves rise as the distant wind comes like a single field on a high mountain” How clever is that? I think most slow burn romance drama requires attention to details, subtle elements, which will be easily missed by most of us.
Most of us are ardent supporters of this drama, and it appears to be a leading drama in China. Just my theoretical…
I don’t even care for Oath of Love, I watch One and Only and forever and Ever mainly because my favorite one is in there. If not, I just go back to my kdrama lands.
Lolz, the stepmom canceled the engagement party, he went ahead and registered the marriage. By doing this, he claimed to the whole world in his own way: ShiYi is the only person I need, and nobody can get in my way.
did she hurt SY, was ZSC able to defend her? Thats all I want to know, I don't care if she is evil, but did ZSC…
You nailed it in the head. She/ he expects him to throw the fist, or yell at the stepmom, showing how disrespectful he is, but ZSC is not that type of person.
To be honest, in the novel I just don’t feel the love, respect and attention ZSC has for ShiYi the first 10…
Also, another one, in the novel, when the engagement banquet canceled, he just announced it to her, expecting her sympathy. But in the drama, you feel his sadness, his guilty and he took full responsibility coming to her house, apologized, getting scold by her family , his nervousness you can see by him turning off his cellphone, etc, and his worries when ShiYi teased him : mom told me to ditch you… This is a real reincarnated ZSC, the one who has and always loved ShiYi, I appreciate the writer or director paying attention to every details.
This was my most anticipated drama to watch ever since they announced it last year. I read the novel 3-4 times…
To be honest, in the novel I just don’t feel the love, respect and attention ZSC has for ShiYi the first 10 chapters, I just feel his cold and control in relationship. ( example: register the marriage without asking her, or register multiple citizenship without her acknowledgment, seriously????) If he was not Xiao Nanchen Prince reincarnation, I would have told ShiYi to run away from him ASAP. The ZSC in drama is perfect, gentle , detailed oriented, kind, truly care and very respect ShiYi. I love it.
To answer people’s confusion about ZSC’s family, please read below, this is a complicated family, SPOILER ALERT: 1.ZSC’s dad and mom: the family didn’t approve their relationship, ZSC dad left the house with his mom, when ZSC was 3yo, his mom died. His dad returned and married ZSC’s stepmom so ZSC can take family name ZhouSheng 2. ZSC’s dad and ZSC’s stepmom: marriage due to family benefit and pressure , no love. 3. ZSC dad also passed away when he was young 4. ZSC’s uncle and his wife: had Zhou Sheng Ren. 5. ZSC’s uncle and ZSC’s stepmom: was in relationship and the stepmom was pregnant before she was married to ZSC’s dad, ZSC’s dad knew about that but still married her so she could take care of ZSC. 6. Both Zhou Wen Xing and Zhou Wen Chen are children of ZSC’s step mom and his uncle.
Example:
In One and Only, The Zither that ZSC used to play and Shiyi picked for her practice named : Chang Feng
in Forever and Ever: ZSC’courtesy name is also Chang Feng
In both past and modern life, they have the same meaning: “ the waves rise as the distant wind comes like a single field on a high mountain”
How clever is that?
