Girl, I hate him. This man told Gu Yiye that he is going to steal his girl. When practically everyone knows that they are technically dating -_-. I want to smack him. Dude has become that SML in c-dramas that just can't take no for an answer and does everything he can to sabotage the main couple. But in his case he does succeed (GRRRRRR).

ROFL, Gao being dumber lol. U would think that would be a hard thing to do. So, for me, episode 12 was like the breaking point with Gao's character. I was really upset that he practically told Gu Yiye that he was going to steal his gf while the man is suffering. If a friend did that to me - I would remove them from my life. I feel Gao Liang wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for the romance parts, at least for me. I can take his goofiness at times and its even funny (but a little overdone at certain points). But whenever he sees the girl he just sinks for me - its like he throws his moral compass out the window. He feels like a SML in c-dramas where they constantly pester the FL into falling for them and then does his best to sabotage the main couple when he doesn't succeed. I feel thats him in a sense.

Well, sadly I don't think Gu Yiye will end up with NanZheng :/ . . . . it has been spoiled already for us lol. I am doing my best to get myself ready for it because I do like their relationship but I know I shouldn't. And that is another thing that does bother me - knowing Gao gets the girl but he used underhanded tactics to get her. Idk it just bothers me - like he is getting credit for actually stealing someone and just constantly getting in their way. Sorry, I feel like I went on a bit of a rant there lol. Yes lets enjoy watching the drama and disucssing it :D. It's still a great watch - I mean if there weren't problematic characters than it would also be boring to watch lol.

To be honest, I would have agreed with u if not for Lu Pingfan. The guy was like I will find a way to fix it and if I have to I will take the blame. But Song Jianshe for some strange reason wanted to do it his way. But in the end Lu Pingfan was the one that did fix it. He got the commander and explained their situation to him - it took some good luck but the situation got resolved. Not because of Song but because of Pingfan. I feel Song just wants to throw other people under the bus rather than work out another solution - and his main goal is always throwing Gu Yiye under that bus. So yea, I would have understood and thought it was rational if not for Pingfan. I actually like him - I feel he cares for his trainees and want them to become the best and understands that people make mistakes. While the other guy just is looking out for himself and doesn't care how many poeple he has to step on to get there.

Agreed, I did like the dialogue with his father. Shows how he came up with his answer and why he did. He thought in like a practical sense so that he could have room for leeway if worse comes to worse.

Yes, Gu Yiye is also flawed. I mean how boring would it be if he was a perfect soldier lol? It wouldn't be any fun to watch. Like the fact that he is smart but still fails shows that eventually he can evolve into someone better and utilize the information he gets in a more appropriate way. But character wise Gu Yiye is quite noble and to a fault of course. He sometimes does need to know to think about himself first. Like the watch incident where even though his watch cost him 300 he gave it to someone else for 80 - and only cared about him not getting scammed. Didn't think of himself. And when he realized he faulted Gao Liang without knowing all the details he was quick to try to resolve the issue because he knew he was at fault - so yes a flawed character but at least he knows when he is wrong.

Now with Gao Liang I can understand what u mean by a pure heart but it does get thrown under the rug when he is constantly trying to steal NanZhang from Gu Yiye when he knows that they like each other. A person who values friendship wouldn't really do that, u know? I mean we have difference of opinions so u might think differnetly than me - which is fine. And ur point on him not telling a lie about his involvement - I feel if he did lie there would be no saving his character. But in the end we might just like different characters which is cool lol - difference of opinions are fun allows for more conversation.

I need someone to look at me the way Gu Yiye looked at that popsicle :)

Agreed, but I do feel its too late for us though lol. Maybe it will help the new people coming in but it has been spoiled for us :/ . . . ..

Wait for episode 12 *facepalm* OH BOY!

Song Jian She, congratulations u officially a snake. Did this man really just tell Gao Liang to lie and say it was both his & Gu Yiye's fault? Last I checked it was GL idea and he was the one that got ALL the credit when it was a good idea. But the moment it becomes a problem u decide to throw Gu Yiye under the bus? Ummmm, good to know that even army officials aren't immune to being snakes. Like I thought he was trying to test him or something but NOPE he was really making him change his testimony to agree with Gu Yiye who decided to be self-sacrificing again and say they did it equally (which we know he didn't because it was GL who gave the idea about digging the hole). Just glad he had some sense and didn't say it was all his fault or Song Jian She would not be trying to save him the way he is with GL.

Gu Yiye, that IDIOT! . . . . . like I understand his reference about the animals in the zoo but dude u got hurt so badly!!! I get it, if you don't think outside the box or u don't think differently than how would u achieve something. Hence why he used the zoo reference, if u don't "hunt" and just let someone else do everything for u (cut the meat) - u lose who u r and just become lazy and no longer have that beast mentality or in his case the soldier mentality. But, I do feel he risked too much in that situation - I mean his arm might never be the same.

Gao Liang . . . . sometimes I feel he just doesn't get it. BRO, the girl said she doesn't like u TWICE. And u know that Gu Yiye and Nanzheng are "dating" but yet u have the audacity to tell this man who is sick that I am goign to steal your girl? I am trying to like him but everytime the romance part comes in . . . . I just can't stand him. Who does that? Who tells someone I am going to steal your gf while they are recovering -_-. Time & Place much.

Well at least it is not romance based and it is just a drop in the bucket for this drama. However, it is upsetting to know the circumstances and also know the end result. It just feels like we are watching a couple that should have ended up together but didn't because someone else got involved. Like no matter how they do end up together I feel I won't be happy with the transition

LOL, well here is hoping that the romance has less focus becaues I am enjoying the other parts for sure.

THIS IS ME! I am pracatically doing the same - like I always question "how do they end up together?" ,. . . . "I don't see it" . . . . . or "why is he still around her when she constantly rejected him?"

I agree with u!!! I feel that would be annoying for sure. Like I can take them being in the same kind of level but him being above would just be wrong in all levels. That means all the work this man did and the fact he forsake his love just went to waste.

Ahhh, I did see someone post about the timeline but to find it again would be like finding a needle in a pile of needles lol. I just know it is approximately a 40 year time span. And it isn't just a jump from 1983 to like 2018 (I think). Like the synpsis says u get short bursts of time skips.

I mean I do agree. I guess it does depend on the person which they would prefer. I mean maybe I wouldn't have disliked GL character as much if I didn't know he ends up with the girl - but the fact he is using all these underhanded tactics and gets the girl. Idk to me it just feels like he stole that relationship rather than received it. So, yea the spoiler stuff definitely make u think differently of him since his tactics he is partaking in is making u go "wow, so this is how he got the girl"

Oh right I forgot about the first time he guilt trips her. I feel his way of wooing the girl is a bit demanding at times. I mean I get it - he is not happy that she doesn't pick him but to force the situation is also wrong.

Well I doubt we will find out when they get together anytime soon lol - but I mean she did look at the shell that he gave her as a gift so maybe idk she is opening up to the idea. But not really happy about the whole thing still. It just smells of him stealing the girl rather than getting the girl.

I do agree. But I am guessing they are trying to drive home like a rags to riches story for GL. Which is fine if that is what they want to do but I feel undermining someone else's achievements to drive that point does make u look at them funny. Like not every person comes from a rags to riches story there are plenty of people who come from a middle class family - do their achievements mean nothing just because they weren't born poor? It just feels weird.

This is sort of for a reference point of the relationships of the military hierarchy thus far (there might be some stuff I am missing so I will edit when I figure it out lol):

The 234 Division
1. Zheng Yuan
Commander of the 234 Division

2. Chen Dashan
720 Regiment Leader
The 720 group was adapted into the 234
720 used to be in agricultural production

3a. Lu Pingfan & Song Jian She:
Teachers to the young recruits
They are the ones that are teaching Gu Yiye & Gao Liang - the "trash" company

3b. Qin Han Yong:
He teaches the superior new recruits

ROFL!!!! Perfectly put. He does really act like a caveman and it is infuriating. Like understand your surroundings and realize that your the 3rd party in this situation. But for some reason he just doesn't care.

And the girl was like maybe we should stop even seeing each other because she didn't want him to get the wrong idea. But than he guilt trips her into still seeing him as a "friend" -_-.

In the 10th episode. It really infuriated me that when they caught the boar it was 3 peope that did it: Gao Liang, Gu Yiye & Niu ManCang. But when it came to praising who caught the boar for the meat the only person that received it was Gao Liang. However, when they found out that it was not a wild boar but really a domestic animal than all 3 get punished. That felt so unfair!!!!! How is it 1 person gets the praise but when it comes to punishment its all 3 . . . . . . .

I tend to go by trailer so I will just leave this here lol

U probably saw it already lol. But yea they never got to see each other :/, The poor girl only dreamed of GYY giving her flowers. Which annoys me more because it shows that she clearly loves him but GL did his best to get in between. If he cared even a little he would have gone back and gave his bike to GYY so that they could spend the day together and she could be happy on her birthday. But it seemed he only cared about himself. SMH!
