From quite early on, there has been a group of people who have given bad ratings. If you check the Episode Guide above, you will see that Episode 23 (yes, the final episode) has a rating of 7.2 from 45 votes!

If she is serious about her acting career, then focusing on a specific niche is probably the worst thing to do. She is only 30 and I sense that she has the ability to expand her repertoire.

I could be wrong, but I think the names used in the show are fictitious, even if the resorts and towns are real. Regardless, here are a couple of links that might help:

The Flying Pink Turtle rules. 😊

To be honest, I got the same impression from the interaction between her mother and Nan Feng, starting at around 2:35 of EP 15.

I am not certain but the nickname was something introduced very early on and it was something that had been around for a while. That being said, I did not like the fact that it is used.

I am not certain why her voice will preclude her from taking on "serious" roles. There are many actors who have trained their voice so that it can be "adjusted" to account for the character.

I will happily admit that the new side of Yi Ming is immeasurably better than the old one. I am not certain why they had to portray him in such a bad light before.

I was going to avoid responding to or commenting on the various people making the paedophilia accusations because I did not want to get dragged into the mud.

However, I do want to say that this is one person from the West who did not and does not think this show or Yu Shu Xin's acting are in any way related to "paedophilia".

Sadly, there are people who throw around accusations of paedophilia without thinking of the consequences to the falsely accused, and the even greater tragedy that is the suffering of the children who are attacked by paedophiles. Just think of the fact that Kendrick's song (Not Like Us) contains the accusation that Drake is a paedophile. That song won 5 Grammy awards, including Song of the Year!

While I am holding out hope that Wei Zhi's mother actually comes around to support her, I did not get the impression that having her "secretary" investigate things as a positive. I felt that her mother considered the scandal as another reason for Wei Zhi to quit drawing comics.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I am a little confused regarding the release of episodes. In the calendar above, there single episodes on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday; two episodes on Thursday; and 4 on Saturday. However, @rogue_jean posted (6 hours ago) a link to the YoukuOfficial site on X which indicates that the show will not finish until next week. Is this the real site? https://x.com/YoukuOfficial/status/1901567854778179613

And how, despite it being well below 0 C, we almost never see the vapour when people speak or breathe.

I got that impression as well. My suspicion is that this is the first time she has had these feelings towards a man. At first, she treated as a holiday fling. Now that she is actually experiencing emotions towards him, it scares her.

To be honest, I am "old enough and ugly enough" to know that for any relationship to succeed, both people have to embrace the other person completely.

If her mother says no, the excuse given will be because snowboarding is as "useless" as drawing comics. But, the real reason is because her mother did not pick him.

I believe that they travelled to a ski area in Inner Mongolia, so the clothes are traditional Mongolian (https://correctmongolia.com/mongolian-traditional-clothes/).

I second the joy at hearing that he loves her gibberish.

Sadly, that is shaping up to be the big problem. Ideally, things will be sorted out by Wei Zhi winning the comic competition, both beating Man Man and showing her mother that she can succeed in her choice of career.

I apologise for implying that you are a smoker. I was merely using a colloquialism to emphasise that I did not understand your position.

I re-watched the airport scene and her mother did not tell him to pick her up. When asked why Nan Feng was not picking her up, the response was that she was busy with work. Plus, while it was a "small thing" for Nan Feng, it was the most important thing for him. And let's not forget the flowers and the decorated trunk. I acknowledge that he took her to her parents house because she told him to. However, that raises the questions of why didn't he tell her at the start, or why did he do as her mother told him?

You stated "he mediated between zhi and her mother so many times". I would point out that he was in Germany for over 8 years and did not come back, so I am not certain how he could have mediated between the two.

Finally, you did not address his listening in on her phone calls; trying to read her texts; and turning up on the ski trip. He has just started as an orthopaedic surgeon (I thought he was an oncologist initially), yet he can go to the other side of the country without any consequence (probably because his parents own the hospital?). For the record, my daughter is a general surgeon at a local hospital and there is absolutely no chance she could just be away from the hospital on a whim.

I cannot comment for others, but if a ML exhibited these types of behaviours towards the FL, I would raise the same criticisms and concerns.
