I dont know if you ever read Love O2O & YAMG, but Yu Tu and Xiao Nai are quite "similar". The same perfect, cold…
I don't know why she does that maybe it's common? A good amount of male characters for Chinese novels tend to be at time a strong silent type or the a smart strong type. I still like reading her novels still. Most of her drama adaptation have done pretty well if you seem them.
I watched up to episode 8 I feel like Yang Yang is basically replaying his love 020 character just a more adult version kind of. Dilraba is great so far hopefully they will have more chemistry later since I don't feel the major connection yet. It's just cute and love the visual of two good looking people. It's great that it's following the novel.
