Yea and I think that is what next episode is going to be about. I don't think I want to see it though lol. I feel its going to be emotional and tears will flow. Because I do think JNZ loves GYY and GYY still loves her but he just thinks he has obligations. And I am just not going to be happy when he breaks it off :/ . . . ..

It's like teh first time JNZ broke up with GYY and he was distraught & now he is going to do it and they both are going to be!

Well there definition of cute is completely different from mine lol. I just find it annoying. Like the fact u bought all those dresses for JNZ when u know ur platoon leader just got married and u got him nothing or his wife - but practically took every soldiers money just to buy someone else's gf a lot of dresses *facepalm*.

When GYY had that look on his face when GL mentioned JNZ - I was like oh SNAP! I think he is about to go off on him because it looked like he was completely done with him stalking his gf and constantly being around her every second. Because its true - why is he even getting in the middle of their relationship when its between them 2. I mean I know he wants them to break up because he thinks he has a shot (after being rejected a million times). HA! When he said "I won't be pursing JNZ anymore" I knew that was a lie lol. I knew he was going to turn right around and go look for her lol - dude has said that so many times I think its probably just as many tiems has he recited his sob story.

Girl, no need to say sorry lol. If u don't like a character u just don't. I mean to this day I still don't like Usopp from One Piece lol (don't ask me why I just can't sometimes with him - my brothers will ask me and I just have no answer just something about his annoying personality and thinking he is all that lol).

I just feel that he could repay him without having to sacrifice his love life though. I mean I know it is easier said but I JUST FIND IT UNFAIR. I mean why couldn't it be Hu Yang - someone that he could find a way to love but not because it was out of duty or guilt u know. I just find it unfair that its only him that is sacrificing everything while others are just allowed to love who they want.

I would like to meet someone that does like GL because I just want to know whats likeable in him. I feel at times that maybe I am too harsh on him but when he does things like in episode 23 - I am like NOPE. I can't. I am just like he deserves it! Like come on. GYY is pouring his heart to u and the only thing u care about is JNZ - and when u didn't like the response u throw food on his head? This man is goign through so much and ur supposed to be a "friend" and thats how u treat him. KICK ROCKS GL! I really hope he steps on every lego ever made and it gets thrown on his head too while we are at it.

I feel that might be the reason. He probably is reluctant to break up with her because he does love her and if the situation never happened he would always be in love with her. But because circumstances changed he feels he has an obligation now to A Xiu and hence the reason to break up.

But ur right the situation is just awful because he doesn't deserve it but because he made a decision I feel its just time to say ur goodbyes before u guys get even more emotionally attached. JNZ is definitely going to be distraught from this decision u know. I mean I feel that is why he was ignoring her letters so she could forget him but it needs to be official - even though I feel I have never seen them officially date or say they were dating lol.

I think it's already 1986 when they first joined the academy. Because they said how it was a process of them getting the 10 quotas. Also, I am looking at the baby and he looks like he is around a few months to 1 year old lol.

But yea ur right - definitely need time stamps to indicate how much time went by. It gets confusing after a while

Just don't quote me on it lol.

Very true. It just hurt seeing it to be honest. And than the fact that no one understands his pain. Whoever he talks to just tells him to get over it and move on and try his best. I think only his father was like "I understand" - not saying to move on but sort of acknowledging that it was okay for him to feel the way he did. Because he knew that it wasn't easy to just pick urself up after knowing that ur life is in a way someone else's who died in the process - and that person left so many people who needed him behind.

So, when I see people telling him to just move on - I am just like can u jsut sympathize with him a little besides for throwing more onto his plate like he doesn't already have enough.

Ahhh, okay that makes sense. I mean if its at a personal level than there is not much u can do lol. I have also disliked some characters in previous shows/animes for no reason but because I just didn't like them lol. Sometimes u don't need a grand reason to dislike someone it just IS lol.

But I get it, yea it has been easy on her but the thing I did like was that she got into the academy through her own merits unlike GL who of course got it through the help of his favorite division commander who clearly would do anything for him at this point. He probably will throw the biggest wedding when he finds out he wants to marry JNZ.

To be honest, I know people like A Xiu & I do too. But I don't want GYY to marry her - I feel its unfair that he has to sacrifice so much just so she can have someone. But what about him? Doesn't he also deserve to marry someone out of love and not out of duty? But I forget that this drama isn't a romance drama but a military drama so of course that kind of genre is not going to happen too much. I just have to come to terms with the fact that GYY is going to sacrifice himself - and its slowly happening already.

Girl, Gao Liang is just . . . .. I really don't get what they were thinking when writing his character. He just seems to annoying at times.

Well that is why I said I see it differently. After all everyone has different interpretations of certain things. Hence why some people might consider the villain of a story a bad guy or a good guy depending on circumstances. I see no problem with different interpretations - just means no one is right or wrong lol.

But yea ur right - couples are already predetermined by the writers of the show and not much we can do but say we like it or not lol. Let's just see how the rest goes

I feel I already disliked Gao Liang from like episode 5 or something so didn't really need 22 to tell me how bad of a character he is lol. If anything 22 & 23 just made him look like a villain - I was just waiting until we start calling him "He Who Must Not be Named". But Nanzheng . . . . idk I don't dislike her too much lol. I feel she isn't so bad but just made a few mistakes that everyone else had made or just processes grieving a bit differently. Idk maybe its because I have seen GL make so many mistakes that her mistakes just don't reach that threshold for me to care as much lol.

Agreed friends do make great partners. But I do see the connecting with JNZ and her father differently. I mean let's not forget on that day JNZ was supposed to meet up wtih GYY for her birthday - she invited him (NOT GL). But because GL decided to be a cock block he took the bike that GYY was going to get and saw JNZ instead. GYY had to find a different means of transportation which broke down and prevented him from seeing JNZ. He even pleaded with GL to give him a ride but because of his selfishness to see JNZ instead of GYY he said no. So, that information that JNZ told GL was never supposed to be for him for GYY. Just how I see it u know.

Oh, trust me I know what u mean. It was definitely a very hard 4 episodes to get by. I think I paused the show several times just because I needed a break with how heart breaking it was. So, totally get it.

Yea, I think it was all leading to a break up in the end. I mean both GYY and GL have been in love with the FL the entire show but she picked GYY. But I think GYY just can't get over his grief so he will choose to sacrifice his love to keep his promise to his platoon leader.

But, even though she saw him alive I still don't think she was in love with him yet because she still rejected his advances towards her and went back to GYY. In the end I think she just considers him like a brother u know. She tried to be there for GYY but he just didn't want to see anyone - so I think she cares more for GYY because she didn't know about GL until like 6 months later. While for GYY she knew right away. So, I do think she always loveed GYY but started to see GL as a friend/brother and thats why she cared about him still being alive. But I don't think it was romantic - and even now it isn't romantic. But will be once GYY end it with JNZ

So the drama started off in 1983 - they became recruits and started training
1984:
I think that is when the war started because they said it took GYY less than 1 year to become a sergeant when the war happened
1985:
The war ended and u can see A Xiu now has a child with Zhang Fei (so definitely has to be more than 9 months)
(Now this is where I am unsure):
I think another year went by before they all joined the academy to further their studies so It might be 1986 right now???

I understand some people might think that Gu Yiye could get help from his other army brothers who were also under Zhang Fei's care. But when GYY got the letter from the village leader about how Zhang Fei's mother was sick - he went by himself. No one told him "don't worry we will go with u as well & help her get to the hospital". Instead they handed him money and told him to go & take care of the situation. While they all boarded the train to head to the academy & enjoy their new lives. While GYY boarded a different train to go get ZF's mother and carried her on his back for miles to get her to the hospital. If someone else went with him his burden would have been less but they just thought it was enough to give him money & that would help with ZF's situation. Now, I can understand everyones means of help will be different but than don't tell GYY that ur willing to share his burden when in reality ur not. And that is what GL did - telling him that we can also help but than not offerring it to him & instead placing more burden on him.

It's great they offered money but GYY could have done the same as well - the fact he went ALONE to get his sick mother help just showed that he is willing to go the extra mile. And that is what that family needs - they need Zhang Fei. Someone to be there and help them with their situation whenever a crisis happens.

Agreed. Like when GL says that oh all the comrades can come together and help Zhang Fei's wife out. I am just like but why haven't you? It has been GYY this entire time helping her and getting her medicine and on top of that studying at the academy. Like it's nice to give those pretty words to him and tell him u can help - but u also have to do them. And that part also annoyed me. He is preoccupied with JNZ that he doesn't realize that other people are having their own problems.

Agreed, it was definitely something I didn't understand. Like, if I am grieving somoene that just died and telling my friend about all the troubles we are having. I don't think I want them to than ask me "oh, but what about ur date with ur boyfriend tomorrow". Like, I just feel that is wrong. GYY wants to talk about his troubles at that moment & not about JNZ who he can always talk about later on in his life, But just seems like GL doesn't get that or doesn't want to get it.

I understand, I just feel it would have been better for them both to just end it right away. He clearly was no longer willing to maintain the relationship because of his grief. I mean, no matter what, she did stay by his side - but true she should have been more firm with GL. She tried but clearly he guilt tripped her and she in the end decided to be close to someone that told GYY that he was goign to steal her from him. I mean she knew that he was in love with her

But I feel thats more GL's fault than hers u know? Idk how to explain it lol.

Exactly! I understand that he is in love with her but he couldn't even be a decent human being and just talk about the situation that was bothering GYY. It's like I am talking about someone who died in my family to a friend & all the troubles we are having and besides for trying to console me and make me feel better. They decide to tell me oh but what about ur date with ur boyfriend tomorrow. LIke ummm excuse me? Like that isn't the right time at all. We could always talk about that at a later time.

I agree that it was GYY's fault afterwards when he planned on breaking up with her. BUT during this interaction with GL - that was GL's fault. GYY is explaining to him that Zhang Fei's family is suffering and that they have no money. And besides for trying to console him he just says something like "what about JNZ". I don't think at that moment he wanted to hear that - especially since he knows that GL has been constantly trying to get JNZ when they are dating. Like everytime he is sad or thinking about his squad leader who took a bullet from him - he mentions JNZ. I understand that is his gf but people do have other responsibilties. And clearly he is depressed about it as well. If he was a good friend he would try to sympathize with his situation rather than mention JNZ.

JNZ didn't complain about the situation because she understood his situation. So, what right did GL have to keep bring it up? Because he clearly only thinks of her even knowing that is GYY's gf. GYY isn't stupid he knows what he is doing - secretly meeting up with his gf and getting hugs from her but he never said anything because he was like okay I trust JNZ and they are friends. So, he kept quiet but eventually people are going to get angry and mad. Especially during a situation when he is already at his breaking point. Like I said, time & place to mention her. ANd that was a wrong time.
