These Vertical Short Dramas like us to experience the thrill of the chase (and the FOMO) so often hide with different titles, slight edits, swapping platforms etc. @Jwells will often be lower down a page with a list of links under a spoiler tag that do get updated as things shift . Good luck with the hunt!

Aw how disappointing- I'll edit my post ty. You could try searching DM for other videos with the title I put?

Is it not on IQIYI since you already pay for that? It is for me.

I thought the same and put it on hold. Shame, such a promising start.

I particularly hate any jealous rival arc when the FL is already reluctant to be part of the ML's scene, like with contract marriage. Whilst she is still unsure it all looks clear. As soon as FL is hooked then the mess ML should have dealt with gets landed on her like a punishment for giving in to feelings.

I can't remember the details but it was a HE.

It's been a long time since I watched it but, from what I remember, IMHO she didn't like who she was when she was with him, and that was made even clearer to her when his family made her feel so small . After the fireworks between them fizzle out, what was left was not enough for her to trust building a life with- she was experiencing a different kind of loneliness, one that *could* be hidden by the app but she couldn't ignore. It was as if she felt like he wasn't healthy for her even though he wasn't toxic either- she could not grow, she could only shrink. He could never understand that which was only more proof that he could never have fixed it. Romantic love or chemical love as shown by the Love Alarm is not the only love nor something to be enslaved by- she was able to choose what she felt was healthier for her and grow a sincere love over time based on many factors rather than be blinded by an instacrush but left hurting and gaslit because the app showed they were soulmates.

Ashes of Love edition: feet (and suddenly seeing some of the opening credit sequence in a whole new way)

This is on IQIYI as "Relieve My Pent-Up Crush"

I just reread my first comment and realised it was ambiguous - I am not actually hearing this advert embedded in the music, it's just in my subconscious -and especially with ML eye roll -that it is as if I can hear the voiceover.

a couple of eps before this as well but the one that really made me lol was ep 20, about 11min20 in

Right??!! For me that's why I'm quietly losing my mind over the eating of herbs and mentions of murdered host.

When they play Bach in the bgm .....anyone else hearing a certain ancient ad "happiness is......"?

I didn't get 2nd ML syndrome as such but I did really feel the depth of the r/s between them, the ambiguity of where the lines of it were, and the pain of their fates with each other. I think it was acted and directed so well so that everything has extra poignancy even as it feels inevitable.

I am also partial to the odd enemies-to-lovers trope but I felt like there was something about her vibe with him that could turn brotherly whereas she was never like that with Xing Zhi, who was instead more soulmate coded. I think she really valued their close brothers-in-arms relationship more than their friendship, subordinate/superior or admirer/idol relationships so those other feelings couldn't survive the fact and manner of the loss of brotherhood and he knew this well in advance.

For me this was a love triangle done right - he wasn't only there to make XZ jealous or make SL look desirable and he certainly wasn't there to be a sweet caring substitute babysitting her until the toxic ML grows up. It helped that Fu Rong Jun and others also appreciated him and he still honoured his own heart instead of letting others completely control his fate or allowing unrequited love/rejection turn to hate. I never felt he was right for her because he never believed it- but I felt for him A LOT, it was always kept on this perfect edge for me.

You scroll down and you will see we can't get you out of this because we're all still stuck ... welcome to being a wandering ghost....

not me also back here with similar thoughts 💕

a gentleman never tells

Agreed, it was humorous. Such a shame the rest of that show was a let down for me (save the mother encounter).

That's a wild introduction to mini dramas!!! (which one was it???) . When the camera doesn't just pan to a candleflame/ gauze curtains/ the moon and you have to check it is still a Cdrama you're watching. I hope you were in a safe place when it surprised you!

links 2 to 7 inclusive now gone. The one ending YcmjE (8th link) has better subs than BzdM (1st link) although shorter runtime so maybe some missing (not checked out subs of 9 and 10)

That's what I'm saying! Her freakish thing with the basil!

Seconded. So envious.
