So at least so far we know that the ML and his family are somehow tied to what happens to FL’s family. Either they know too much or the dad was involved .
I ma falling asleep while watching this show. If you are sleep deprived this drama is good medicine for that. What a snooze fest. I mean they are 30+ yrs old. But the way they are behaving is worse than teenagers. It’s really a weird drama
I just finished my first rewatch and loved it so much. But one thing that struck me was Chris. Although like that…
Chris - I liked her and did not like her. I did not like how she was being a busybody and was making all these assumptions about the FL when she did not even know her. And yes when she suggested that to Zhuang, she was so confident as though she had heard it from the FL. But Zhuang Xu never tried to analyze the situation between the FL and him and what he did wrong. He only ever listened to other people. That was his biggest fault
I don’t agree with you on this. I think the first turning point in their relationship was very clear and then…
Zhuan Xu and Lin Yu Sen were polar opposites. The ML had everything that ZX did not have . The story was told in the FL’s POV and they had to show why the FL would choose the ML over ZX with whom she really was deep in love. So ZX’s character really moved the story between the leads. Yes and also the growth of the FL. The ML’s character was very warm, soothing and calming. He never showed any dramatic emotions but you could feel his angst and yearning for the FL . I think SWL brought that out beautifully. And even in that portrayal there was an intensity . And I agree that they did not make characters overly dramatic but still conveyed what they had to.
Yesss in novel both are red flags...but FL was very much manipulative.....and ML was kind of innocent even after…
I would not call them red flags . They are rather the products of the circumstances they grew up in. You can’t expect people growing up like that to turn out well adjusted
Right? That's why I wondered why there was even speculation about who the ML would be while it was airing
Nice description! Silent Separation/ My Sunshine also she stopped short of making the ML a little toxic but he was a damaged for sure. But Zhuang Xu is the most toxic character she has created .
