Well said, I watched 2 and half episodes, and I could already be ticked off by her moral superiority complex especially when she was risking her mother’s life. She just had to be right about the situation she knows nothing about.

That scene at the jail bored me, and for the first time, I could not find an excuse to understand a female lead like this early on.

Decided to wait for all episodes so I can skip certain scenes of her naivety and unnecessary superiority complex.

I only pay for YOUKU, iQIYI and Mango only for specific dramas.

Paying for one express package on WeTV becomes the same monthly VIP subscription for iQIYI and for YOUKU is 2 dollars more than iQIYI, while SVIP for Mango is almost 3 dollars less than normal WeTV subscription.

Netflix 4k is more expensive than all, I never know what to watch from it, so I cancelled it long ago.

That’s my point, iQIYI becomes cheaper because you pay for all once. While these two require one to pay extra for each drama, that’s a scam.

Even Mango became better than all three, but we suffer bad subtitles:-(

What about Mango? It’s cheaper than all, and its SVIP is for all dramas.

IQIYI becomes cheaper than YOUKU and WeTV if you think about it. You pay extra for once drama, while on iQIYI and MangoTV you pay for all.

IQIYI will always be better than YOUKU and WeTV when it comes to express packages. I can’t believe the latter and former expect us to pay extra after paying for VIP. Agh!

This is when the meaning of “patience is virtue” gets to be applied.

I just saw it, but contemplating if I should pay for it or not.

I haven’t watched episode 16 yet.

That’s very petty.

Serial cheaters are very intelligent and cunning.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Just wait until tomorrow then:-)

I’m also not watching today’s episode, trying out the new released: The Vanishing Beauty.

Is express package coming out today?

I think that was Overdo.

Yes, the he won the case, but sadly he was still replaced with AI in his modern drama this year, Fireworks something, I dropped that drama early on after learning that fact.

One thing I have observed about the Chinese entertainment industry is how skilled it is at portraying age gap romances. Dramas such as this one, The Double, and Key to the Phoenix Heart are clear reminders of that skill. They build the romance through such a patient slow burn that viewers become restless and petulant, throwing their toys out of the pram because they are desperate for a kiss or a moment of intimacy. In their hunger for that payoff, they forget that an age gap exists both in real life and within the drama itself, and that this gap shapes the relationship in ways a single kiss cannot resolve.

This drama is special and different because it does not shy away from that age gap. It mentions it openly and keeps reminding us of it, treating it as part of the emotional and ethical texture of the story rather than an awkward detail to be ignored.

The story is also well written enough to give the supporting cast a fair amount of screen time. It does not focus only on the two leads, as though a drama were carried by them alone. It remembers that there is a whole cast and crew behind the production. This balance feels fair and earned, perhaps because the side stories do not feel like filler. They add texture, consequence, and a wider sense of the world.

The female lead is not an idealised human being with no flaws. She gets jealous, she can be possessive, and she believes that what she fought for should belong to her. What makes her different, however, is that she listens to counsel and accepts feedback well. Lin Long, for example, opens her eyes to her hypocrisy in wanting to know everything about her friend while refusing to be forthcoming herself. That moment does not make her less sympathetic. It makes her more human, and it shows a character who is allowed to learn rather than remain perfect.

Yes, there’s about four I read about starting from the 9th.

I feel like we’ve been fed too much this year, that for the first I just want to wait it out and watch when there noise subsides.

I dropped three recent ones, and repeating Joy of Life.

This is the only modern drama that really spiked my interest this year after Sunsets Secrets Regrets.

You should subscribe on WeTV, they release a lot of modern short dramas and randomly normal ones with no announcement.

Oh okay, I also don’t like being used especially the one where they create dramas using synthetic people.

The crown prince has a scandal, but if they haven’t filmed it will he fine.

Because of the crown prince?

Mmh! That mankes sense, I think it’s risky to release now and expect a better ROI. Looking at the upcoming potential bangers in this month and recently concluded, even I can’t keep up:-)

Fair point.
It’s when this romance seeking “gang” starts, it’s usually on dramas they fail to see that from the beginning it wasn’t about it being the focal point, which then becomes unfair to rate it badly because some crowd misunderstood the plot, anyway, I guess I shouldn’t expect fairness and common sense from others.

POJ also disappointed me and I could tell after seeing the bts scenes that I will waste my time, so I dropped it at episode 9.

I was looking forward to an excellent performance after Kunning Palace and New life begins.
