Yes, I really hope that some director has a good vision and takes advantage of the huge following that the Dingxin CP has. I still remember how they blew up the internet after the Tencent All-Star Night awards back in January, with just 5 interactions that night when they weren't even sitting together!! I just know that if they were given more opportunities, they would do amazing things together, both on and off screen.

Omg yes that would be so amazing! I love seeing them interact together in a setting where they have a challenge or goal. It's so nice to see them working together and being so happy together, and I'm just sitting there squealing, giggling, and kicking my feet like a schoolgirl.

Fingers crossed that your timeline will come true because I don't think I can wait more than 3 years for them to be back on my screen again. Maybe they could even do a small 2 people variety show like the one Zhu Xu Dan and Yang Shi Ze just did. I would actually love that because the interactions between the actual actors in this CP are much better than their characters, surprisingly.

You're welcome!

I just hope it doesn't take too long because I miss them together so bad!!

If you're a fan of TSY, then I recommend this one even more. I've watched a few of her shows, and it seems like she's good at picking scripts as she has a different type of role in every drama, but this one is by far her cutest and most comedic role that I've watched without making it so babyish and fake that it makes you cringe. You should definitely give it a try!

I really hope so!! But also, I'd rather wait for another year or two and have them make an amazing drama with a good script, cast, and production rather than get a drama next year with a bad script or production decisions, which might end up getting them hated on, which may lead to them never working together again.

Agreed!! I need them to have a third collab right now because the number of times I've watched all of their Hello Saturday interactions and the Shining Stars and Moonlight is actually concerning.

If you are looking for excitement, drop it. But this is a good drama to unwind and relax, as it's a calming and funny slice of life.

Because, although it was very clear before airing that this was going to be a calm slice of life with minimal romance and the story of all leads that also revolves around them eating food, people expected different things and started watching it. So when they didn't like how it was going, they started bashing MKY and LJS and also saying that it was a bad drama.

Since FBC is just a Korean remake of this one, it's really similar. All the big plot points and ending are the same. It's just the go-ahead is more comedic and energetic, while FBC has that typical calm and romantic kdrama vibe. Other than that, no difference. So if you are hoping to see changes in the big things rather than small differences and the vibes in the show, I suggest skipping this one.

Yes, but they don't have too much screen time.

Agreed. I only found out about the hate towards this drama recently, and was very surprised, as it remains one of my top dramas to this day. But what makes me the most mad is that Yang Yang recently confessed in an interview that he hasn't taken any roles because he thought people don't want him on their screen due to the hate he got for this and that he wanted to give them a break before returning only this year with his recently aired drama. This both broke my heart and made my blood boil, as he is such a good actor and I've been waiting for another drama of his, only to find out he has spent years thinking everyone hates him. 😢

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.
