I've been using this word a lot when discussing this scene, but 'verklempt' was never more appropriate of a term from a performance than it is for that scene. The pausing, swallowing the words, holding back tears of happiness as well as sorrow....all the things...🥹🥹🥹😭😭
Giving your ONLY son's bedroom to a woman and her kid that he's never met, not only on New Years, but ON HIS FREAKING BIRTHDAY! Straight to jail sir. Then, SuYe has to sit there and watch as his father treats this stranger better than he ever treated his mother in the same space that he embarrassed and ignored her. Zhang Ling He's performance of those moments and how verklempt he got during the phone calls with XiFan...amazing...good job director on holding on those moments.
there were a lot of 1s and people didn't like how others sabotaged even the main rating so they tried to not have…
the psychopaths are the ones who go in advance on a show they arent actually watching to rate future episodes they will NEVER watch a 1star. They have to open their browser, go to episode guide, click each episode one at a time, & have 3 more steps before they can post the rating. It's obsessive & loser behavior. The other's are just trying to balance an unfair scale. But we wouldn't have this problem if we could get a programmer to make that feature only available after each episode airs.(This is hard to do so I understand why it is not already a thing)
PSA for the newbies...they never dated in high school. There wasn't a "break up" of a romantic relationship. They were friends and they clearly had feelings for one another, but they were never a couple. She did not dump him, she went back on a promise they made together about going to the same university. It was a mutual crush that lead to a friendship.
I've checked your watch list - you have almost everything there) and it seems (and sounds from the message) that…
So they never dated...they were more like best friends. They had established a strong friendship as deskmates and then when she moved he started visiting her to study. The train took about an hour and a half to 2 hours each way. There was mutually "something" between them, but no confessions from either side. They would sit in the same noodle shop every time he came and study together, or just be in the same space as one another. She, out of the blue, changed her mind about something they had been working toward for months....he was genuinely worried about her as he constantly saw bruises and she had lost weight since moving. In the novel he goes to her graduation, as he had already promised he would. He didn't disturb her, just checked on her. Then when he went to her college again....didn't interfere or take pictures or even really linger after seeing she was okay. He would visit every few months to pick up the news papers she wrote for, first her college paper and then where she worked previously. The check to make sure she's still breathing kind of thing... I realize that is a very fine line....but with the context of him knowing something wasn't quite right, but unwilling to pressure her about what was happening....he just supported her as best he could from afar. We get her perspective as well, about how much she missed him, yet thought he shouldn't be dirtied by her. I kind of think of him as a stray cat...the cat distribution center allotted Wen Yi Fan as Sang Yan's human so no other human will do. IDK it's fiction. My prefrontal cortex is fully formed so I can separate fictional okay from real life not okay. He's not Edward Cullen breaking into her house to watch her sleep...so as fictional men go...he's doing pretty good in my book.

I no, YOU didn't fuck up rating...but asking a group of people who are ride or die about romance in the page you rated lower. You can't see me but I'm laughing so hard....I'm sorry...it's just...the perfect innocence of like 'hey, this one has everyone active atm let me ask a valid question', and then getting jumped because you had a different opinion. Girl, been there done that, got the bumper sticker. 🤣
I've checked your watch list - you have almost everything there) and it seems (and sounds from the message) that…
Yeah. I was like hold on, why is everyone giving her sass instead of actual recommendations or helpful info? Then I went to your lists and was like oh no...oh no....she fucked up... With the recommendations in the show pages people normally write what the shows have in common and why they rec it....but I saw one in a recommendation of The Best Thing for Love of Nirvana....aka the two most opposite shows you could imagine from one another. I was...confused af.

Go into the recommend section of the shows that you did enjoy and see if any of the recommended shows work for you. I personally dropped Lighter and Princess because of how toxic the relationship was. Also, maybe, just a suggestion....maybe don't ask on a page where you rated the drama a 1 star after watching 6 episodes for recommendations, as this genre is clearly not what you like. But seriously good luck.
