People have crushes on them but they only have eyes for each other. Literally just there to let us see Sang Yan(ML) be assertive in his "position" in Yi Fan's life.

It's very good.
But please check in with yourself before watching. This deals with sexual assault and harassment and trauma from system failures in protecting victims. Parental loss, and abandonment/abuse. It will feel heavy, but the love story is one that shouldn't be missed. The male lead, Sang Yan, is the sun & shelter for the female lead, Wen Yi Fan. I can guarantee a happily ever after, and character growth from our Female who starts off very closed off from the world/people.

Lets just say he is only green because the feelings are very much mutual. If their is such a thing as a green flag stalker Sang Yan would be it. Cause though he gives her ample space...if you were to break down his actions out loud.....lets just say when trying to explain TFF, after reading it, to someone I had to finish a lot of sentences with "But not in a creepy way though."
He only ever loves her. He respects her wishes for distance, but still checks on her in his own way. Only a little...tiny...barely even a whisper of um...creative license, when retelling certain events that she doesn't have a clear memory of.

OH found it! He finds out she's keeping something from him like right before he goes to visit Sang Zhi in Yihe. It makes him feel like she doesn't trust him.
She finally tells him everything when she goes to Yihe to get him. So they are in April now....so yeah 15ish months to go.

Much later on. I don't think he finds out until the next year, after they get together officially(his birthday is their anniversary)....I really can't remember when he knows knows what happened to her.
I know that he beats the shit out of him in the summer of the next year After catching Sang Zhi and Duan Jia Xu together. So I think he finds out between January and August of the year after the one they are currently in. They are currently in April as of episode 10 so like 15 or so months from now. I'm trying to find the chapter but can't right now.

She transferred schools prior after her father and grandmother died. She was living with her uncle. His wife's brother lived in another city about an hour and a half by train from the hometown. They moved to live with her aunt's brother.
If they haven't already shown it(I haven't watched tonight's episodes yet.) Sang Yan goes to see her like every week in that city. They eat noodles at the same place every time and study together.
They never technically dated in high school. They both made a promise to go to the same college and stay together(as in be in the same city again). After what happened with her aunt's brother she wanted to run away as far as she could. She compartmentalized her trauma and her life before and started over. She went full self preservation mode and truly believed that Sang Yan deserved someone better than her...someone who could love him without hesitation, someone who had as much love as he had. She felt unlovable and unwanted. So she walled herself off from everyone, and never got close to anyone again.

Watch it again...the scene where he is talking to his sister in his bar he says someone is pursuing him...that is Wen Yi Fan he is talking about. He repeatedly tells Sang Zhi that there is someone but she does not believe him.
Also Yi Fan is a reporter...maybe she just couldn't get leave to see her future sister-in-law get engaged in another city 2 hours away by plane.

He sexually assaulted her & tried to rape her, but she was able to fight back long enough to get help. Her Aunt then tried to get her to take back her report, and her mother brushed her off or didn't believe her(can't remember the details) she ends up staying with a policewoman for a bit before she is able to leave the city for good.

I plan on rewatching them on my TV on Netflix on Sunday(my first day off) though I really should try and catch up on my other shows first.

Mr. Be cool, be cool, be cool, is she looking at me...oh shit she's coming...be cool. And little Miss Dimple obsession...oh the cheese shall be incoming, I just don't know how much they will show.

They have to wait for YouKu to release their weekly schedule, which they have yet to do for next week.

It's the typical "nice guy" mentality.
I had a friend confess to me right after I spent the night complaining to the friend group that someone else had confessed & I was upset because my boyfriend had just ended things and my head was all over the place and I was dealing with a lot of personal medical unknowns at the time. I was like "What part about me crying about my medical mystery and breakup made you think NOW was the time to confess your feelings for me?"
The "nice guy" is never actually "nice" he's just waiting for his moment to pounce, and when he is even gently rejected he will act as though you are dead to him, because you no longer serve a potential for more benefits.
He wasn't very prominent in the novel so I had honestly forgotten his existence.

Literally the first thing I screamed at my TV.

I can't wait for "scandalized" Sang Yan, and mischievous Wen Yi Fan.

Boy played every scenario in his head on repeat while she got the best night's sleep in a long time. Comedy gold.

Extremely happy ending. Lets just say they decide on a "take two" when a certain physical trait doesn't get passed down the first time😉. (Wen Yi Fan is obsessed with Sang Yan's dimple)

dyslexia wins again 🤣

Her uncle never hurts her, he's just a push over. It's the aunt's brother that hurts her. Her son also stole from her if my memory is correct.

I realized on release day about 30 minutes before the first episode dropped that I would not be able to wait for other sites and chose stupidity with my wallet...(aka I bought not only the YouKu sub but the extra sub for the show) I can't wait for Netflix and I wanted to show actual support for this show that I have been waiting for. The only way to really show the production that is by watching through legal channels.

Bless. I thought so. Cause I remember the birthday texting countdown, or something like that. I also remember a snowflake bracelet and a leaf bracelet or something like that...I'm I right? For her nickname and his name.
