Linayeol

It's a little later, they will already be a couple at that point, do you still want to know?

They were so cute🥰, plus I remember what Qiaoxi said to Yintao about her cheerleader outfit in the novel 🫣😂

totally agree I'm also waiting for its adaptation

You're right, CXM wasn't really an active character, it's true that Qiaoxi's mother was the most problematic factor, but Yintao's best friend always had really disturbing speeches, I find her annoying here.

Yes I confused her with her best friend 🤦‍♀️, but it's true CXM wasn't really active in the novel here she's downright harassing

You're not the only one who thought so, she's become completely unbearable. I always had the impression that she wasn't a very good friend and that she was always talking about weird subjects to Yintao but in the drama she's downright horrible.

Despite some shortcomings in the narration of the story of the Ml, until now I find that the drama is still very good! (as the reader of the novel) I still had hopes of seeing a more detailed staging of the scenario because this novel and Speed and Love are part of my favorite web novels. I hope that the romance part will satisfy me because Linghe is a true king of romance and Jinmai always manages to create a wonderful alchemy with his partners. I am still impatiently waiting for the sequel! I see that many here are there for Zhang Linghe (which is great for him because it shows that he now has a very big notoriety) but are simply waiting for the romance part to be able to enjoy his very good acting and his incredible visuals.

The problem is that before entering university Qiaoxi disappears because of problems related to her uncle, and he disappears for quite a long time before she finds his trace and he comes back into the story. What follows does not normally refer to the past only some brief explanations on the reason for his disappearance, without really too much spoiler later we follow the continuation and the evolution of their relationship as a couple their difficulty the accomplishment. What scares me is that there are really important elements of the plot that should have happened in this first half of the story to justify and explain the choices of Qiaoxi later without dragging on, but all these details were visibly abandoned. To counterbalance all this the plot must be modified to not create inconsistencies, because if they want to follow the original story without having introduced certain crucial details of Qiaoxi's life in the first episodes, many people will feel lost and will hate the trajectory that the story will take. especially since even despite very good explanations in the novel many readers did not like certain things related to Qiaoxi's decisions afterwards.

I totally understand your feelings! In the novel, the story is really focused on Yintao and Qiaoxi's interactions. Their childhood should have been extended and better explained so that the audience could really understand Qiaoxi's story. Qiaoxi was a really reserved and not very social child. Her relationship with Yintao in their childhood was very deep because Qiaoxi lived the warmest moments of her life with her, stuck in Yintao's small room and ate almost every night at her house because of parental neglect. Yintao grew up with her other neighbor friends as siblings. She is seen in the group as the little sister to protect. Qiaoxi has always been on good terms with the group, but only to be with Yintao. The boys have never been very close to him and didn't know much about him and didn't really understand how he really worked. The story of the letter was handled very well in the novel, despite its awkward communication. Qiaoxi's mother went so far as to have his classmates monitor him, some even called his mother to report what he was doing and with whom. He knows his mother's madness, she never liked Yintao and his friends calling them (bad influence ), she even asked the teacher to keep an eye on him🤦‍♀️. Qiaoxi knew that his mother is capable of making exaggerated scenes so he kept his distance from other children to avoid putting them in embarrassing situations and also because he does not know how to communicate properly with others, used to keeping everything to himself and dealing with his problems alone. The drama did not show how lonely Qiaoxi felt without Yintao (becoming very cold and even starting to do stupid things like smoke), she is the only person he cannot keep his distance from even if he wanted to because she represents everything to him. childhood with YT and the time he spent with his uncle during this period plus the significant gifts he gave to YT during these few years are the most striking moments of the male character, the director did not exploit this side enough, we unfortunately feel the cuts in the story as it progresses and certain inconsistencies multiply preventing us from feeling the emotion of the situations and the attachment to certain characters. This drama lacks episodes but I still hope that it will improve.

Flourish in Time is a drama filled with emotions the relationship between Lu Miao and Jiang Hao Yue is so beautiful, Lu Miao's father is such an exceptional parent. This drama is really underrated I need a sequel or a new collaboration between Ancy Deng and Zhang Linghe to really close this drama because the ending resonates like the beginning of a chapter for Hao Yue and Lu Miao as a couple entering adulthood who will experience the twists and turns of life but in hand.

Only 8.2? This is absurd! so far everything is so well executed, I love our protagonists so much, I really don't understand why the rating is so low. I go through all the emotions here laughter, angst, sadness Zhao Jinmai and Zhang Linghe have really excellent chemistry.

I also know the censorship system in China, that's precisely why I think the episodes had to be shortened, both because of censorship and also because of the fact that nowadays the public prefers to watch modern dramas with a short format rather than a long one. With all the BTS filmed on the characters' childhood and their adolescence that were not included, it is obvious that this drama was initially filmed for a long format. But for me either one or the other I am not bothered as long as the cuts are fluid and the story makes sense it is also a great opportunity for me to see this incredible duo again.

I watched BTS and I saw a lot of detailed scenes that were supposed to be the first two episodes but which were ultimately abandoned. I'm not going to complain because I still love the episodes that aired and the main actors are clearly a plus for me. But it is clear that this drama was initially shot for an episode format close to (Go Ahead), certain things seem too vague or not in-depth enough despite excellent chemistry and quality production. I know that the director claims that the number of episodes has always been 24 but this does not seem true, this statement was certainly only made to reassure the fans.

in fact when he left they had continued to talk by calling each other frequently, [moreover I saw some BTS where Qioa xi was at her uncle's and he had called her but it seems that it was visibly cut in the editing]. In the novel she knew that Qioa xi's family was complicated (especially her mother) when he stopped calling her to talk about these letters, she thought that something must have happened to him that prevented him from answering her. You should know that Qiaoxi spent almost all his days at Yintao's in his room, he had a closer relationship with her than the other children. Later when all his friends left for town she felt lonely and depressed so despite Qioa xi's silence she continued to write to him because he was the first person she realized she loved romantically and also because she thought that they shared a special relationship she saw him in his most vulnerable moments and she knew how much he lacked parental love and care.

In fact, it was obvious that the rating would drop, but during the broadcast it might increase if the drama finds its audience and generates interest.

there is no square or even triangle (maybe there were modifications) but Yintao despite some suitors she was never interested in anyone else and for Qiaoxi there was never only Yintao. But in their friendly circle Du Shang and Xiao Man have a complicated relationship and another friend of Yintao also had a crush on him even though Du Shang was never interested. Du Shang has his own novel and I always felt that he always secretly loved Yintao which is why he didn't like Qiaoxi who was the only one who could make Yintao's feelings react so intensely between joy and pain.

he really showed interest when he heard her cry but when he heard the whole story he was like "why did I worry Yintao is never serious"😂. the child actors are so cute

Little Yintao made me laugh so much with the snake story 😂😂

My baby Yintao and Qiaoxi are finally here! This novel was so good that it was Ling He and Jinmai who got to play these iconic roles makes me so happy. Zhang Ling He's visuals and acting are so amazing and Zhao Jinmai is one of my favorite Chinese actresses let's all enjoy this work 🥰

It is not a matter of imagination: she eventually died in her first life because she was never meant to be with him. The trials she endured because of Lin Jin Lou shaped her personality. If she had married him earlier, he would most likely never have changed.

The woman Lin Jin Lou eventually came to love was not the nobleman’s daughter — dignified, bold, and willing to defend herself despite her tender heart. No, it was a woman of humble birth, forced to go through countless hardships to escape the fate of a beautiful slave. She endured the harshest torments, forged an iron will, and suppressed her true nature. She abandoned her aspirations and resigned herself to being nothing more than an object in the hands of a man, clinging only to the faint hope that one day, after he had grown tired of her, he might finally set her free.

Lin Jin Lou’s abuse and violent temper overshadowed his rare qualities. This is why she kept Song Ke in her heart for so long, despite his decision to pursue ambition rather than choose her. Song Ke’s uprightness, honesty, and kindness were the true reasons for the unconditional love she bore him.

Her so-called love for Lin Jin Lou was not born of genuine affection but of captivity and profound loneliness. Locked away by him, she learned resilience, forcing herself to value the few qualities she could find in him amidst his cruelty, simply to give herself a reason to endure. Confronted with rape, humiliation, and violence, she developed a psychological defense mechanism common among victims: adapting to trauma by minimizing or denying its severity. This was Stockholm syndrome — and it was for this reason that she ended up giving him a chance.

For his part, Lin Jin Lou’s lust and obsession with Xianglan evolved into Lima syndrome. Unlike Stockholm syndrome, in which the victim grows attached to her aggressor, Lima syndrome describes the reverse: the aggressor, despite his position of power and cruelty, begins to develop attachment, empathy, or even a form of affection toward his victim. Yet in Lin Jin Lou’s case, this attachment was anything but noble. His interest in Xianglan was not born of remorse, moral awakening, or a desire to change, but of a devouring obsession. He projected his desire onto her, convincing himself that his fixation was love. The rare gestures of attention he showed were not true compassion but rather the distorted reflection of his possessiveness and lust.

And yet, despite this shift, he never acknowledged the harm he had caused to the women he had broken. He continued to belittle them, to exploit their feelings for his own pleasure and ego. He showed no real interest in building harmony with his concubines or in raising children. Once his interest was gone, he ignored them, treated them with cruelty, and allowed his harem to tear itself apart in chaos. Though he wanted an heir, he cared little about whether he had children or not.

Xianglan was his only exception — not because of true love, but because of Lima syndrome: a paradoxical attachment, born of obsession, that made her the only woman he could never discard, even as he destroyed all the others.
