Episode 5 (starts at 30:47 time stamp on Viki). Right after Tang Yu hangs up from the phone call with his sister we see him going through old messages with Tang Xin on his phone-about her naming the cat, and reading her weibo posts where she discusses Director Lu taking over filming.
Translated lyrics: How many nights my longing for you grows... (Chorus) loving each other doesn't necessarily mean we go to to the very end we were wrong but love wasn't
actually i think its necessary, she needs this confession.
You definitely made some vaild points and I agree with you. If you scroll through here you'll see some of my earlier comments where I also say that the FL should do better and communicate clearly. I even pointed out that for such a level-headed person ( seen in the the way she responded in the first few days after his rejection, as well as to the plagiarism) I was disappointed in how she was treating the ML. Instead of blowing hot and cold, after seeing how he consistently goes all out to support her plus him saying plainly that he wants to pursue her, that she should've talking everything through with him properly. When we had that elevator scene and she bit the ML, my heart was breaking for him.
But her response to him reading those weibo posts showed me how deeply hurt she still was. It must have been a big shock to her to have him suddenly strip her bare that way. She didn't see it coming and you can see how deeply she was affected. I was happy it happened because he needed to know, and more importantly, him finding out acted as the catalyst to break down the barriers she'd erected since the rejection. After that hug, you can see she was finally open to him again, anticipating her birthday with him. The hour he gave her was nice. I was happy that he didn't just join the party, but set up a cake in privacy, in his car. But i was disappointed that he didn't seize the opportunity to talk to her about their relationship and confess. He explains why he doesn't, he doesn't believe she's ready, I believe he saw her breakdown differently than we did and wants to give her more time. But the red packets? Come on. I really wish he'd have gotten her a more meaningful gift. (Even something silly like a photo album, saying 'when the time comes we'll fill this up with photos of us',,,,just something with thought and heart. )

I hear you. But in his defense, she didn’t actually show her cards-he just saw them accidentally. Ultimately he ends up with the knowledge of what she’s been feeling , but “how” he found out is important too. He told his assistant that he wasn’t planning on confessing “yet” bc he thought she needed more time. We see her emotional breakdown as the endgame and are shouting “come get your girl” but he’s been dealing with her hot/cold moods and might interpret that breakdown differently. I was indeed upset about the birthday tho. I think it was a missed opportunity and he should’ve done more.

I agree that words are exactly what she needs. The way I understood ep 17, Tang Yu's sister was pushing him to make some kind of grand confession. Something over the top with like "will you be my girlfriend" with flowers and an audience and who knows what else. Think of the cheesiest, loudest drama confession scenes, and that's what I'm picutuing. But his sister is a kid, much younger than them. She also doesn't have all the info from Tang Xin's point of view. So I disagree with her. Tang Xin needs words, a full conversation that goes into the depths of Tang Yu's feelings. She's bared her heart to him; he needs to do the same.

I think she needs sincerity more than anything else. She's doubting if he's telling the truth, if it's only a wim, how deepy he truly likes her, when he started to like her, why he started to like her, and wonding why did he reject her in the past if he does indeed like her?
So I don't think she needs a "gesture" as such. I think they need to sit and down and talk. Truly clear the air. Based on her reaction to him confessing he'd read her secret weibo, she's finally realizes and has accepted that he's sincere toward her. His feelings are real. She might need one more final touch, for him to explain that initial rejection. So I don't want him to waste any more time trying to arrange something grand for a "confession". He just needs to sit down with her and tell her the full truth and she needs to accept it.
Yeah, don't. Wait till it's done. Based on the trailer it's meant to have a happy ending, but waiting until that 'happily ever after' shows up is sheer torture. Save yourself the agony that I'm going thru right now 😭😭
I'm glad ep 17 happened. It was necessary and and solid step forward-finally! BUT. Still not good enough. The idea of a formal "confession" at this point is ridiculous. They've both admitted to each other and themselves that they like the other. This isn't high school, children! Time to act your age! Just invite her to a romantic dinner, dammit, and shower her with rose petals or something. Get this train going already!! I swear if they waste the majority of ep 18 trying to organize a Grand Confession, I will reach thru my screen and strangle them!!!!

But I'd recommend waiting until it's finished airing before starting to watch. The waiting is awful lol
