Can someone tell me the name of the variety show for this drama and where I can watch it with English subtitles?

Ohh. Well, have fun watching! The finale brings us back to the heart-fluttering feeling of the beginning of the show!

No problem!

HE. I suggest it if you like romcom and forbidden romance with some angst in it.

Happy! There's just a lot of scenes that were cut and its a bit obvious at times.

Really sad to think they had a whole wedding shot, but it just didn't make the final cut. I feel like I need a wedding scene to truly wrap up a show, or it'll stay in my heart for a long time, but I guess I'll use Shine on Me as a pacifier until I can truly move on from this one.

Since he sold his garage, all his cars (which were all modified so they would have sold at a higher price), and had some savings from running the garage for so long, but only needing to support himself and give a bit of money to Jin Qiang's family regularly, I'm assuming it was enough for him to go to school and buy the cafe. As for the apartment, it was mentioned in episode 27 or 28 that it belongs to Lin Sui's company and that JZ bought it later. Given how Lin Sui helped JZ out a lot at the time, I assume that it was sold to him at a lower than market price. We were told he kept the cafe running until it got famous through loans from Sanlai, and their old house was bought recently, so it would have been after the cafe started making more money, and he was saving from the side job at Lin Sui's club. I also think that due to his involvement in the case with the association, he would have gotten some kind of compensation/reward money or his medical fees paid by the government for his contributions towards the case. But again, this is what I'm assuming. There may be different info in the novel, but idk as I haven't read it.

No, she's not pregnant. Due to the amount of cut scenes, a lot of the timing in this show makes no sense. If my understanding is correct, Sanlai asks JZ if he quit smoking because they're trying for a child, sarcastically, because usually when people try to have kids, they stop drinking and smoking and try to be as healthy as they can for better fertility. Hearing this, JZ smiles/smirks because at that point, he and JM had already been intimate. Then Sanlai asks him how long, and he says 2 months, which I'm guessing is either how long he's stopped smoking or how long it has been since they were intimate. I say this with uncertainty because JZ said it had been a few months since they got together at that point, but to the audience, it could've been passed off easily as a week or even less. However, this is all my speculation and how I'm choosing to understand the scene. It may be different in the novel or be completely different in the show, but just not make sense due to cut scenes.

I previously commented about how much i missed San Lai and Lin Sui after watching episode 26, but now after 27 i feel like i predicted everything and somehow spoiled it for myself in the weirdest way lmao. i just love those 2 characters, and if we got a spinoff show abt their lives in Thailand with the racing and fighting as an action short drama from before JM went to find JZ, you would hear -100 complaints from me.

Just watched episode 26 and WOW. Really got to see parts of the old JZ from before he was domesticated. I wish we got to see the old version with the cut scenes, but i still love this show so much!! Came for Esther, stayed for the chemistry between her and Heyu and the acting of all characters. I just miss Sanlai and Lin Sui and also her friend from Thailand, who's Lin Sui's cousin (I forgot her name) in the recent episodes.

Ahh, okay, thank you! That makes so much more sense cause I'm not very familiar with school systems outside of North America, and only know things from dramas, and seeing uniforms above high school level is new to me, so I was pretty confused.

I'm 9 episodes in, but I can't figure out if the FL is in high school or uni. The uniforms and school building are telling me high school, but then I can't make sense of the age gap. Could someone tell me what grade she's in and how old the leads are please?

Wonderfully said, I couldn't agree more! I always find myself going back to the dramas most people think are cringe or "beginner level", but something about them always holds a special place in my heart.

I was wondering why everything felt so rushed in the last 3 episodes, and now I know why. But even with all that, I still give my heart to this drama as I don't remember being this interested in a costume drama and liking the chemistry as much as this since my first costume drama a year ago, which was Wonderland of Love.

I would argue that it's better than some enemies-to-lovers actually, because no matter how much hatred they may have between them, the main leads actually show respect to each other as human beings, and Wei Shao never underestimates Man Man's capabilities. This is the only way I like enemies-to-lovers because when two people are inhumane to each other, it makes it hard to believe that they could truly fall in love and move beyond their pasts.

For the sake of my mental health, they did. I got spoiled about their endings from tiktok, but even then, I was in a state of denial, and I still am now. My heart breaks just to think about it all.

As someone with pretty much the same taste as you, I definitely suggest this one. I had the same worries when starting it as I typically don't enjoy costume dramas due to how much brainpower you need to allot just to watch them and the confusing relationships and plots. But TPOB is nothing like that. While the plot definitely revolves around politics and war, there are less than 10 places you really need to remember, and even more so, just 5 that are very key to the plot. There aren't too many characters to follow, as most of them are either just side characters in one or two episodes or support characters you'll see through the whole show. If you liked TFF and HL, I think this one will be good for you, as the main leads are originally enemies, but the FL helps heal the ML's trauma, and they work together for the people of the land and fall in love after that. There are very few fight scenes, and there's a lot of romance in terms of eye contact, stolen glances, comedic bickering, and LOTS of chemistry not just between the leads, but the side couples as well. In terms of skinship, there's some near the end of the show, and it's REALLY good, and they convey a relationship so well, but I would say it's not essential to the main plot, so you can choose to skip it if you want. The characters all have really good ties. There's lots of girlhood between the FL and her cousin, and you see some really good bromance between the Wei generals. The cinematography is really good as well in terms of camera angles, and I loved the use of the OSTs because they used minimal music, and when they did use it, it added a lot of feeling to the scenes. I would say if you want to watch it, give it a few episodes (around 5) before deciding if you want to keep watching or not, but as someone with very similar tastes, I definitely think you should give it a try. Sorry for the very long answer, but I hope that helps!

The thought of coming back home and watching the first episodes is the only thing that kept me going this whole week. Can't put into words how disappointed I am right now. I really hope iQiyi locks in and actually releases it soon because I have a feeling that more delay after this mess up is gonna make a lot of people who are waiting for it lose interest.

thank you for explaining it so well!

ohh thank you!
