I consider the SML is the actor who's a love interest to the FL, despite unrequited. ML gets the girl, SML always love but doesn't get the girl. Prince Jing likes Qiu Wan, so he's a supporting character not a lead. Prince Rui is the villain. Du Ruo is the SML.

It'll probably get better. I'm at episode 11 too. I feel glad that the FL doesn't just believe her sister or anything hearsay, at least she's level headed. And reasons with her sister if she believes Prince Rui over her sister? Counter argument.

My favorite supporting characters is Ling Hua and Ling Shu, the two supporters of Mo Qing Chen.

Add on the fact that the SML is the same age as the FL.

So you like this drama enough to continue? I'm just watching this drama after a more heavy and dark drama.

Yes, hon. It is fiction, we're here in this community watching dramas like it's our second career. LOL! The screenwriter is a man, maybe he's not skilled at developing female characters as he seem to allow the ML to have some introspection at the beginning of each episode. If you wanna compare The Long Ballad, where I feel the FLs in the drama had more skill sets and defined characterization, well, you see, the drama is based on the works of a woman writer. I get a feeling the screenwriter for YSMD needs a little more extra time to develop the FL and flesh her out. The actress tries her best to act the character out. Ok? I don't expect this drama to be great as it feels like fluff, so I don't put as much expectations .

I actually see that she's smart in terms that she catches on real quick about the ML's disabilities from just a few interactions with him. It's not like she's dumb as a brick. Give her some credit.

Oh man! I don't really like the main actor if Xu Kai Cheng is the ML. Seen a few of his past works and not a fan.

Wait so no Miao RuoLan? Miao Ren Feng's daughter.

That's what I meant..there wouldn't be any kiss scenes since he's underaged.

I read somewhere he had some weight loss. Overworking perhaps? I don't know.

It's also said that he lost a lot of weight and face appears gaunt.

The summary of the drama sounds confusing and I still don't know what it is about. Is there a better one around?

Yeah OMG! I look at the cast and he's only 17 while the FL is 24. RIP Kiss scenes.

I completely agree with you!

Actually no, I don't want him with Ju JingYi, she is just a pretty vase.

I'm finishing up The Long Ballad and quite like the coupling there, but I do enjoy Wu Lei and Zhao Lu Si as actors and wouldn't mind seeing how they fare as a pairing! Looking forward to seeing them together!

I watched 5 episodes and I'm confused did I miss a scene where she agreed to go out with him? I mean agreed to be his girlfriend? It just felt like she was fantasizing and all of the sudden they became an item?

Honestly he always had solid acting chops more than ZZH ever did, now I would only hope they would promote him more as male lead because he deserves all the roles. He would give more satisfying portrayal.

I was thinking without ZZH, they should promote Yalkun more now since he always had the acting chops to play main lead and main male lead.
