Chen Guo gets way less screen time after a while... You're at the second half so from what I remember the focus is going to be the match and how their new team gets new members.... your appreciation will depend on what type of viewer you are ^^

Lol Yeah I forgot to add that one. Honestly who does that? Like literally given the size of her apartment, WHERE THE HELL are all of these clothes stored? Also if she really that busy, she wouldn't have time to change clothes and makeup every single scene... let alone every single day. Busy women wear t-shirts and jeans and only bother with fashion when they meet investors, journalists or potential clients...

But again this is a parallel universe, days are longer, magical closets exist and make up and clothes can be changed at a snap of one's fingers. So who am I to complain?

Lol. Chen Guo does get better at some point... BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT not gonna spoil... As I was finally not finding her so annoying, she did something dumber than dumb and still ANNOYED me. This being said that only happened once after she gets better, you'll see.

Xiao Tang is the same. She does get better... But her arrogance is still gonna cause trouble down the line... But to fair, literally almost ALL characters except for Ye Qiu, Yi Fan and the nerd suffer from some ego issues so she's not worse than the rest...

I've decided to accept that this drama is happening in a parallel universe where 1 month lasts at least half a year in our universe otherwise I'm gonna lose my sanity with how ridiculous the timeline is.

Literally quitting one's work as a host, finding a new place to live and move, then finding a job to stream indoor, then stream outdoor, then maintaining good relations with ChenChen making herself available whenever, entertaining Hao Ming's potential business partners, launching a clothing company with all the red tapes it requires + finding financements + making promotional videos + launching at least 2 collections + starting very small but managing to become very big thanks to the right investor and moving headquarters from an apartment to a whole floor and hiring I don't know how many employees + facing I don't know how many financial troubles + entering a clothe competition etc. ?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

AH! I forgot she still takes care of the demented mother in law of one of Hao Ming's business partner offscreen.

The show is still entertaining but I just can't take it seriously anymore. I understand they wanted to keep all of that under the "cooling off period" to rise the stakes so to speak, but the suspension of disbelief is literally through the... through nothing actually, it's lost in the vast void of our universe.

Like Naa wrote, she's open to forgive them... But based on what she and you wrote... They haven't properly apologized... I'll have to see if they even look a bit repentent but if not for that honestly... that's a disappointing point for me.

OH THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
Ok I can now wait for the finale with a calm state of mind.... I'm not entirely satisfied with points 1... and ESPECIALLY 3 ( I wanted the parents to properly apologize) and 5 ( I don't know what I want for her but getting away with everything she's done big NOPE). But Ok. You can't have everything I guess... I'll see for point 8 then.^^

Overall a satisfying ending even if not entirely on certain points but maybe it was just impossible to get a truly satisfying ending on everything if not for adding another 10 episodes and it would have ruined the pace.

Thank you again for taking the time to give me a detailed reply🤗

SPOILER REQUEST:

1. What did Lin Tao do and how was it resolved?
2. Did our leads divorce or not?
3. Did Xu Yan patch things up with her parents or is their relationship completely ruined with no redemption in the end?
4. Did the sister end up with Yu Yi Ming in the end (I read a weird comment below)?
5. What happened with Miss Cleavage aka Fang Lei?
6. Did Xu Yan's business become successful?
7. Did Hao Ming join the Directors' board?
8. What happened to Chen Chen?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance!

I'm currently catching up started from episode 24 but episode 32 won't be available on Viki... before next Thursday based on my calculation and I'm too curious to wait.

OH MY GOWD!
SO HAPPY this is coming to Viki! The Trailer looks sensational!

Hopefully this one ends on a Happy Ending (... I can't handle another TTEOTM repeat 😭😭😭
(The trailer screams sad ending though 😨)

Dropped that one at episode 27. I remember it vividly because I was so near the end but I couldn't force myself anymore. Your review is so on point with how I felt. Really disappointed I couldn't see in this drama what most people apparently felt. Being part of the minority is not always fun. The fandom on this show when it aired was savage. As per usual, I was accused of being a troll. Something I've sadly gotten used on this platform in spite of always commenting with my main account.

The main actress is really pretty but her acting (or rather lack of) just felt completely flat from the episode to the episode I dropped it. She was expressionless throughout. I didn't understand what attracted the ML in her except for her pretty face.

Hopefully the novel is better. I bought it.
Glad to see I wasn't the only one who felt this show was a snooze fest.

Lol Let's be real here. America does exactly the same. Most rich people come from very rich background and only a tiny fraction of the vast majority of people manage to get wealthy through pure hardwork, yet America sells it as "The American dream" when they're just selling a delusion.

Also Hao Ming might be wealthy but his parents have modest roots. They just manage to make their business flourish over years of hard work ( the usual dream of succeeding through hardwork when the reality is if the majority fails at it, your system is just broken).

On the contrary here, the way Xu Yan met Hao Ming is pretty realistic. She was a hard worker, managed to get a job for a big channel which gave her the opportunity to meet some filthy rich people including Hao Ming... Something that actually happens a lot in real life. How many journalists have ended married or going out with personalities they met on set? I know in my country I can name quite a few of them.

Also, I don't get where you got that idea, that we were supposed to bother with the world of the rich? I mean, we're all here only for the romance...

Regardless, that wasn't the point of my comment though. I don't mind the fillers per say, the issue is more that you can feel nothing is happening because it's only one episode a day. I wouldn't feel like it, if it was more, hence the fact that I'm just going to personally wait and binge.

PS: Also I'm watching on Viki personally so no express. I have to wait for the official run to finish on We-tv to get all episodes on the platform.

True the series's been slowing down since episode 20... Very common' in C dramas overall. Airing only one episode a day doesn't help either... Tencent probably wants to drag their success longer by dragging it for three weeks instead of 2.

Personally after watching episode 23 on Viki which was mostly fillers... though not necessarily the bad kind, I've decided to just wait until at least episode 30 is available on the platform and binge episode 24 to the end.

Romance centered C dramas all have some fillers at some point, usually I don't mind... but it's only when I can binge. When you can't it's really annoying when you watch a whole episode where not much is happening, followed by another episode of the same and followed by another episode of the same until finally after 3 to 4 episodes sometimes more, things are picking up again.

If we got 2 episodes a day that wouldn't be as annoying but if you have to wait for almost a week to get back to the meat of the story, you're bound to disappoint people.

I'm glad I took that decision. Reading the comments, it was the right call. This pace problem will make me downrate this series but for now it's moving from a 10 to a 9, not a dramatic fall in my book but we'll see how I feel when I reach the end.

😳😳😳 Yeah I've had a very very tiny obsession since My Journey to You. Brooding Cheng Lei is the best 😍🥰

Why? That's exactly the type of information people look for BEFORE watching a show, for the details there's already a spoiler tag. If you don't know want to know ANYTHING about the show, just avoid the comment section.

Or just block me, you won't have any spoiler tag problem I don't care.

Haha Thanks for the recommendations ^^

Oh thank you for your kind words ^^Wish you the best to you and your friend ^^

It's more a matter of "not encouraging it" but "not condemning it either" if that makes sense.

Given where and at what time you grew up... Your parents were truly exceptional people. It's really heartwarming to know that kind and open minded people existed even back then.

Best wishes to you and your family. Even if I'm sure the divorce was difficult for your son, everybody deserves to be with someone who truly loves them. It was better they separated. It would have been unfair to him to stay with his ex-wife and cruel to her to force her into pretending.

My mum is always outraged when she comes across that type of story... But my father and her never got along... that does not make for a happy childhood nor does it give you a great outlook on marriage. I've got two brothers. All of us have spend most of our lives single (and I'm turning 40 next year). I love romance, but let's just say that I like it in fiction. I've been literally traumatized by all the unhealthy relationships I saw around me, including those of my parents... who are currently "happily" hating each other in their retirement age...

I don't think it was attempted murder. It was a warning. Otherwise they would have shot straight to the head or the heart... Or they would have finished the job. He was shot in the belly near his place of work so Khamsu knew he would get found quickly.

I'm not excusing it though.

Yeah To Sir With Love had a good ending with the father... But still, he actually lost two people dear to him because of his bias. It's a very expensive price to learn tolerance.

I read an article on the subject regarding homophobia in Thailand. From what I gathered, basically it's okay in big cities, but it's still a huge problem in the countryside... and the country being mostly rural you see what it means. Buddhism, which is the main religion there, "tolerates" homosexuality but does not necessarily "openly accept" it... Whichever country, fighting discrimination, whichever kind, is an endless battle.
