I gave you a thumb up and agree with your wordings and your comments except for the word bitch. Correct this character is pathetic, not worth of a woman's love neither attention. It is a narcissictic character. Not worth neither of a man's friendship, nor companionship.

I understand that you are not pointing at a woman's character here in this story. Even expressed to suppress a man's attitude is insulting to women as this word is related to female gender. Women are allowed to whin and cry but doesn't mean that their are bitch. The relation with a woman's distress and this wording is insulting women's feelings. This slang word has a deeper history. Alas history repeats itself and when will we be able to change it ?

Freedom of expression is correct but driven by one's emotion can be hurtful to both genders. I am looking forward to the day that this word is erased from our spontaneous language as I hear too many youngsters using this slang too easily. Those youngsters will be, husband/wife, parents, schoolteachers.

I just feel sad for the director's choice to accept a so pathetic character. This is when most of the time I drop series because of this type of cliché. A shame because this was promising. The only character that attracts me is Qing Shuang.

Happy Cdrama watching.

Mo Xu Yao has given up the need to walk again. Does it mean that Ye Li's planned kidnapping was to incite him to accept her curing his legs ? That group of kidnappers were from Ye Li.

As for the sole kidnapper is from her half childish sister. And that one turns out to be a man Ye Li saved years ago. Future friend ? Future Mo Xu Yao's "vinegar" opponant ? Jealousy was already in the air during the music gathering.

The "passer-by-incognito Lord" is the dillusional half sister's hubby. It is too "cliché" to my view point. What the heck, I am not the screenwriter.

All I am interested in is "imaginary Qing Shuang".

If I remember several scenes some episodes back:
1. Ye Li had a maid her uncle said, However, he didn't recall her having a maid named Qing Shuang ;
2. when residing at the mountain, "the imaginary Qing Shuang" was bitten by a monkey on her left upper arm ;
3. there is a scar resulting from a wound (bite or burnt ?) on Ye Li's left upper arm. When Mo Xu Yao was nursing her fresh wound he noticed the exact old scar at the exact place as Qing Shuang ;
4. there are other signs about "the imaginary Qing Shuang". But I would have to rewatch some episodes.

At first, I thought that Qing Shuang was an imaginary chilhood best maid friend. My conclusion - ONLY my conclusion - is now different from what I mentioned in my past comments now putting those details togerher.
From what I understand, Qing Shuang could turn out to be "young" Ye Li. It is a trauma or PTSD syndrom in our modern expressions. Anyway, I am no detective. Only time will tell.

Her past life at the mountain is very intriguing. To me this is the most interesting plot in this story.

Correct. He is acting in the First Jasmine Moli

Ep 8
So Qing Shuang is Moli ?
Qing Shuang isn'st her former maid ?
Qing Shuang isn't her imaginary confidante ?

I like her cuteness. It'sn't overdone...for now. I sense that she'll grow up not as a rival to Moli. Time will tell.

So many inside stories to discover.

The Duan Shi Si character downgraded my rating.
Everything else was perfect.

I like the idea of a Qing Shuang accompanying Ye Li in her life.
I know a few people whom had a Qing Shuang in their childhood life ?
I had one and I don't remember when she disappeared from my dreamlike childhood.
I dread the moment Qing Shuang will disappear from Ye Li's life.
A Qing Shuan is so cozy, protective, comforting, healing, loving, trusting, reliable.

I relate.

This is a real beauty and it cannot be described as it is in the eye of the beholder.

I feel you.

The same vibe in The Longest Promise. I bare with this one till the 26th episode (I fastforwarded many a scenes) first to understand the reason for its high ranking; second to fathom viewers' mind.

Except for Gao Mao Tong with his chin with dimple.

identical twins 🤣🤣

At times I feel that Tang Xiao Tian and Gao Mao Tong had the same plastic surgeon. In their respective headgear they look so much alike. Furthermore their script is like copy paste, same tone of voice, same lines although politically branched off, same posture, same arrogance. It is comical to me. Fortunately all the above don't minimize their acting.

I am amazed by the wardrobe department. It is a feast for the eyes.

I came here because of The Lead (2026) for Liu Hao Cun. I passed many episodes and scenes of Be Passionately in Love as I couldn't understand how 20 year old students surrounding this main leads could act so childishly. I am blessed being surrounding with younger kids with more mature mind. The writer are insulting younger kids' intelligence. I am generous with my 7 rating given to both leads' acting. What a waste of their talents.

The lyrics is worth 2 more of my ratings.

Why the drama The First Sight of Nanyang Overseas Chinese not listed on this site ?

Ep 44 tension building...
no words as all emotions are so well on screen displayed...
the music and its lyrics take over the spoken narration...
standing ovation to the director.

I wanted more of the ink history through the lenses of the director and the narrative of the writer. I am only greedy. I started my homework on this matter. It is a fascinating subject.
The acting from all was excellent I prefer Yang Zi in costume Cdramas and was happy for Elvis Han to get this role. He is good at everything and in anything .
The ending is not to everyone's taste. This ending reunites all the elements of the ink making such as wood, water, space and the binding with two meeting lovers. The curtain came down by closing the story with this poetic scenery.
