ive listened to it its not that one the bg music thats playing when shiguang and wangyan are saying bye when she tells him too late ,, that one..

thanks this gradual release of theirs is so slow while other dramas typicaly release soundtracks w t etrailers, they are underfeeding fans shld be a crime lol

you mean chen duling? she sings? wow i didnt know that also please remember

Guys who knows the ost that plays when wu shiguang and wu wangyan are saying goodbye in ep 17 before shes summoned back ?

Your right a drama is only as good as the character, apparently shes the same screenwriter who did Only for love ( the one with Bai Lu and Dylan Wang ) and honestly only for love was such a waste of good actors. Such fantastic actors yet such a trashy script. ( But considering the book was too childish and very far of the ground even for me its almost understable).Heres the link to novel https://whimsicalreads.com/series/as-beautiful-as-beijing/

For real, its only for love writer, no wonder, Im not even suprised anymore, LOL

I know right!! I wish i could hug you,,,, everyone seems to think taht they have to make a male character like that else hed be a red flag. But other dramas havebeen able to portray both the pragmatic individual and the one whose head over heels at the time, the one who loves her but refuses to put her above evrything in their life. ITs possible and when done well such characters are fan favorites .

Listen its posiible to portary a character as sharp and edgy while still maintaining the romantic part.The han ting in the books was just as sharp and just as in love with Jixing so much so that when shes kidnapped he would rather fall off her buklding while protecting hee, if it were not for some structure that held him he really would have died.he liked her so much taht when they broke up while he says he will only ask her once to come back he does it twice and we can see him pining for her that he follows her to Germany and asks her again.He was just as soft and romantic as he was edy and sharp an oxymoron yes but i dont think its impsible to portay that.Like XinagLu in lost you forever he was just as match as in love with the Fl yet just as sharp too her hes sharpness alternated with his softness that out of the Ml charcaters he was voted as the fan favorite. The idea this conventional writers have is that to show love they have to turn someone to the most smoothest version of him, its like those writers who when the Fl is broken up they make her so attached that its like the end of their life and that nothing eill rver be the same.In the books he accepted that her earlier plan to record was okay but foing it again he refused so musch so it was never done. In the books he tells her the lady has bad conditions , has an uncaring husband , is not willing to help heeself why should they rnter in that mess, if they do a second surgery and the hubby comes back what would happen to xingchens reputation.And forget that cliche of making them meet before in life in some competion this writers were so invested in making a destiny fated relationship. So much so that her loveline witg her ex was smoorgws because they dont want anything undermining hanting Jixing , which in my opinion its posiblr to show the love in jixing yichen yet still make it cler han ting is her final destination.

Read the novel, then come back, i swear it wont be the same.

im curious how does one write an artcile on MDL, i want to do one on him too. someone help?

Based on the star distribution provided:

5 stars: 25.5%
4 stars: 27.1%
3 stars: 23.6%
2 stars: 17.0%
1 star: 6.9%, its not so good honestly

Agreed.

@CKT_DramaFan Okay i get you, i understand the change when its mordern vs historical, i wonder why that happens, someone should find out that for us, im curious. But i still think despite that mordern historical phenomenon, the writers were hell bent on perfect ML perfect romance, so much so they had to water down even the conflicts or arguments the two had. Like that cliche of them meeting in childhood, was that even neccesary, im sure they wanted to bring out the ocncept of meant for each other, destiny so they added it thats just another reason i think the writers are the usual conventional ones.Another reason they are conventional is the Ji xing Shao YIchen portrayal , while they make the two love each other some events between the two have clearly been washed up i think because ( while they acknowledge JIxing had a loveline in her life before Hanting, they are afraid of it overshadowing her later arch with Hanting. Another evidence why they are conventional ,. Nowadays writers are even able to make a characterhave differnt lovelines in her life upto the final one without belittling the previous ones. You can also see Jixings role in contributing to the breakdown has been watered down presumabley because the conventional writers donet want the fault to be too much on her, this is the reason why they even had to make ( the girl that is now dating Shao YIchen) Ji xings friend. So that when YIchen starts dating her , we can further balame him for dating one of his exesclosest friends. In the books they werent friends she was just someone who had been inetrest in him in a long time. In the writers insistence of making this two perfect theyve watered down even their growths , tehy are afraid of portraying the main characters as imperfect. THats why i say they are the usual conventional writers, no boldness at all, they are afraid that even a little imperfectness will push fans away , they are not willing to try anything new. IM curious who they were even i want to check some of their works and see what else theyve butchered and confirm whether its me being too much. Also how do I Get that blue check? its my first time being active on here?

And you forgot the unnecessary cliche of them meeting as kids , and that of Han ting never being in any rlshp whosoever.

I feel like giving you a hug 🫂 In just a few words youve articulated my sentiments.Them met when they were kids was just unnecessary im guessi g they wanted to portray more of a ohh destiny brought them together.Such stupidity.(for lack of a bettee word). I even want to double like your comment

While a lot of scenes are from the books, the major ones the ones that shape the arc solidfy a character., those have been watered down to suit whatever it is they want to suit. One defining han ting character for me was 1.when heis cousin was to invest in Xing Chen and made an offer to Ji xing which she turns down jixing asks han ting what he would do if she had agreed han ting says whether to sell or not is her decision but he wont let xingchen stand afterwards. Or with the XingChen scandal where Jixing is merciful to the lady Han Ting is not, there stark differences and tensions are evident so evident that they have a mini argument Han Ting has to forcefully drag her to his house she doesnt go willingly( he goes as far as calling her a brat in the argument), and asks her to be his girl, the scene wasportrayed yes but the reactions undermined sort of softened .i still dont see the drama book adaptation being strong but okay, agree to disagree, respectfully.

It doesnt really matter if a drama follows the novel. It only matters when the novel is much more interesting otherwise who cares? Indeed true lost you forever seaon 2 had a douban score of 6.6 compared to ABAY 6.9, but thats season 2 comeon . ( Its ussually hard for dramas whether mordern or historical to get as pouplar as season 1) If ABAY can keep up with LYF season 1 ratings, poularity home and abroad, then i promise i will delete all my comments apologise, and go like every content i see on the drama!, il even write a long positive review with no single complaint.( now imagine if ABAY had a season 2 ( i know it doesnt) do you dare belive it will even near 5 in ratings ??

agreed

Yes they are different genres but all are dramas, Xu kai and tan songyan will always attract audience whether mordern or historical so the genre doesnt really matter to me. The drama is a bussiness plot but yes, ( hn tings character for instance is emphasized in his business actions yet the drama doenst even emphasize that ) some bussines plots have been shown yes but theyve been watered down!. The books had lots of fluffy scenes even with the seriousness in bussiness so i dont believe that whosing fluffy scenes mean they have to leave out some parts ?? The youtube edits they will always be fans willing to make it either for the actors or for the storyline those will never lack regardless of movie ,genre, storyline, ratings so it doenst really matter, Even dramas with low ratings will have those, so put those aside.

Exactly, finally someone who understands !! its not the sexual scenes nor age gap im complaining about its the personality change! and to those saying that if such personalities are adapted theyll be a red flag they are wrong , weve seen other dramas portray such realistic and dreamy personalities at the same time and still managing to make them a fan favorite!! weve seen dramas portraying a female leads love journey adequately and still clearly show that she loved each at taht point witht watering down the love and stiill be able to mainatin the male leads part as the chosen one!,
