He does. And it's not a pure and innocent first love kind of thing, but a psychotic obsession that develops out of control later on in the show.

Same. I ended up watching all of the middle episodes on 2x speed, but I really liked the comedy and acting. It got a lot better after episode 26, though.

I agree, I feel like maybe the filler for me wasn't too appealing because of how much business and company politics there was when I prefer a more romcom vibe, but I did love the show and think all the actors did an amazing job.

What I meant is that I personally think that the drama is great and I liked it, but because of how harsh the industry is, the drama might not have done as well without Lusi due to the pacing and amount of filler. But I see how that might have come off wrong.

The show was great, but the pacing absolutely sucked. The middle episodes tried to be funny, and while I liked the comedy, the 180-degree genre flip and the filler episodes made me almost drop the drama. The only reason I stayed was for Lusi. Also, the whole problem with Haochen could have been dealt with better timing-wise. It all happened so suddenly, and we barely got to see him get better and fully accept it, nor did we have a scene where Haoming and his parents sat down with Haochen and apologized and explained everything to him, so it makes me feel like Haochen shouldn't forgive them. I also hoped there would be a lot more scenes for a happy ending, like a second wedding for them with her grandma there, SHM's parents meeting her grandma for the first time and having a family dinner kind of thing, and Haochen calling SHM and XY his parents. They also shouldn't have included that plot twist of SHC not actually being his son if the only purpose of it was to have them say he is their son, no matter what. There are lots of ways they could've gone with that, rather than make all of their sacrifices and everything Haochen went through look like it was for nothing. Fang Lei also deserved to be put in her place for all the things she's done, instead of getting to fly to London after affecting the rest of Haochen's life and finding some sick and twisted love with Han Weiping. Overall, it feels like a big waste of time because they lured us in at the beginning, but then made the drama really boring in the middle, and then rushed everything in the end, leaving so many loose ends. I think the biggest reason the show got so popular is because of Lusi, and I'm almost certain that if there was any other FL, more than half the viewers would've dropped the show or started hating a lot. I just wish we could get a special episode with all of those scenes I mentioned earlier, which would make the show so much better, but I know it's not possible. I guess I'll just be waiting for Lusi's next drama while patiently rewatching Hidden Love every time I miss her on my screen.

Well, after all, he was his godfather. And he trusted him as his family, and the fact that he promised to give him his own firm and all of Jinda's legal cases if he got the company. And as we all know, greed is always man's biggest weakness. I just don't like how they made him seem innocent and face no repercussions for anything, and gave him basically a happy ending with Fang Lei in London.

I think he did, because in episode 31, he says he was detained by the police and lost his lawyer's license because of what happened with Haochen.

I'm extremely grateful already that I get to watch dramas at all, since my parents are very against asian dramas and TV so there is no way they would get me a subscription or anything like that, so without these sites, I would have no way to watch anything (and that would be devastating for me as I've now grown to love and become very attached to all of the languages and cultures I learn about while watching dramas), but I'm just curious as to why the subtitles aren't out yet when there's never been this problem with any other drama. Basically, I'm not complaining, just wondering. And I only came on here to see if other people are also having the same problem, and now that I know they do, I'm more than happy to catch up on my other shows while I wait for the subtitles to be released.

So if my Google Translate is working properly, the express package is tomorrow? Because if so, called it!

I hope we get the express on Saturday. I stopped watching after episode 23 and have been saving them to stack and binge together. I keep getting spoiled on tiktok, but I just can't wait to see them happy together for once. Xu Yan deserves so much more than what she's getting right now.

I just saw a comment on tiktok that said, "What if Sang Yan met Shen Hao Ming?" and I am currently unwell. Sang Yan would've never let our baby cry over a man like him, and she wouldn't have fallen for the little things that SHM did if she had grown up with the love Sang Yan provided her in HL 😭😭😭.

I actually think the reason so many people want to watch it is because it was filmed and edited so long ago that it has that romcom vibe that older dramas had that so many of us miss, so it makes us want to watch it. I just hope that Tencent realizes what a big landmine they're sitting on and releases the drama.

I usually just put it in a faster playback speed, like 1.5x or 2x. I don't really like skipping scenes because then you might miss out on some facts important to the show or a nice scene in between, but I agree that it might be a lot better for your mental health than wanting to throw your laptop across the room due to the miscommunication tropes, lol.

The Lusi effect!

Well, the resort trip was only 3 days, and she was only live streaming for a few days and the only reason she got the investment that early was bc of Jiang Liang's help. But you're right, it's still not enough time for it all if it were real life. That's why I've learnt to think of time as just a concept in dramas, it's a lot better than trying to keep up with the logic of it all and ruins the fun of watching when using so much brainpower trying to figure things out.

When I first heard that Lusi's drama was finally being released, I was happy. And when I found out it was 32 episodes, I was thrilled. And the drama is great, but with the amount of filler they currently have, I'm losing interest a bit. As of now, I've temporarily stopped watching so I can stack the episodes and binge them on Friday because the one ep a day this is not gonna cut it for me, but I have my fingers crossed that we can move on from the comedy and business parts of the show and get to the romance because they are wasting so much chemistry right now!!

I really hope so! I loved Chu Ran in Fireworks of my Heart, but I'm not too interested in the plots of any of her other projects other than this one. I'd be extremely happy to see her back on my screen one day.

Yeah, those two will be very similar, just Yummy x3 isn't a palace based drama so there won't be any annoying and complicated palace politics and the FL migrates with her family too, so it's gonna be full romance and comedy and fluff.

I'm like 90% sure she has some sort of mental illness. I think that when she was young, she just had some sort of childhood crush on him, as he was an older guy who treated her well. Just that typical right of passage for girls, but it may have become more of an obsession when her sister died and she needed that comfort or something. I'm not excusing her behaviour or saying I like her in the least, but I definitely don't think she's in her right mind, especially considering that her sister and him even had a kid together, and if she didn't die, then they would've eventually told Hao Chen that he was their kid and raised him once they were more responsible and stable.

Agreed. I'm pretty used to it by now, so I usually have a drama to watch on the side or I watch those vertical dramas, but it'll always be funny to me how people don't see this coming when it's typical airing behaviour when it comes to cdramas to have only one episode a day in the last week before an express drop to help build suspense and get more views.
