Worse than a Russian to English dub lol and those are some of the WORST Hopefully a sub will come out :/

Couldn't finish this, because the English dub was the only thing available and it's one of the worst dubs I've ever seen. If anyone sees it subbed somewhere, please lmk

I haven’t watched it yet, but I really can’t imagine falling in love with someone in my body like that lol I do care more about personality/chemistry, but I’m not attracted to myself so that just would not work for me. (Unless they somehow see each other as who they really are, if you get what I mean)

The only ones confirmed as actual couples that are together at the end are Sheng Nan/Jiang Heng and Xiao Chun/Yang Yu. Chen Chen/Gao Lin break up, it's a violent and traumatic end for them. Ni Jin has her own version of a happy ending, but no romantic interest by the end. (It's hinted that her friend Ma Ke is into her, but they don't end up together on screen) Yi Tong/He Lin never get together either, but they do both have thoughts about each other. It seems like they'd probably just remain friends, but I think they leave these last two relationships open to imagine whatever you'd like.

I mostly watched this past the 1st episode bc I actually enjoyed Katherine Yang, Yu Shu Xin, and Yang Yi Fei in My Amazing Boyfriend 2 (I know the dubbing did suck) I honestly only kept watching, because I did find every character interesting and thought everyone did a great job in their role. It was kind of boring though, too many scenes talking about...idek what in their house. I skipped a lot of that, which I NEVER do lol

I'm on episode 14 and like....I honestly think the characters and actresses themselves are the only thing that made this worth finishing. (and I watch A LOT of slow burn shows) I just felt the first like 10 episodes were so so. They kinda show a lot of the best parts in the intro.

(SO I THOUGHT THERE WERE ONLY 15 FOR SOME REASON LOL SO I MAY UPDATE MY FEELINGS IN A REPLY TO THIS)

I only just started this, but this response is so funny lol

Does she ever stop looking like a terrified puppy?

People who didn't think the characters were realistic sound like they might be kinda sheltered. This isn't an unrealistic fluffy romance. There's a very clearly alcoholic and troubled mom, an abusive husband, jealous girlfriends, and a flip floppy guy who was lying to both of the women he was sleeping with. Everyone was very human, though some were definitely dramatic I can't say there aren't people like them. (because many people are, in fact, irrational) I really felt awful for her daughter...I'm sure she loved her, but I don't blame her for constantly running away under those circumstances. (and I'd bet she developed the drinking problem because of the guilt, she did know her daughter would be safe with her grandparents and made a difficult decision)

I do think Tsuji deserved to be left after the way he had treated the other women, it was 100% karma the way she unintentionally threw his own words back at him. (I just wish that she'd been able to move on from him after that)

This wasn't my favorite drama by any means. I just think people need to expect characters who are extremely flawed in ways that aren't cute or quirky.

I was rewacthing this and I forgot how actually awful Zheng Chu Yao treated her in the beginning. I get he was protective of Yang Yang, but he crossed the line so many times and was a bigger bully than Xing Chen ever was. She was far from sweet and perfect, but he was way more cruel to her than he needed to be from the moment they re-met.

((IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED OR FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO KNOW))

They have a kiss in EP 30, but she resists him and her feelings for a while. He is forced out on his own and moves in with her in EP 38. He makes some obscure confessions, alluding to wanting to marry her but she takes it as a joke. (he does make it clear to his father though, who is not happy) I am only on 39, but I believe people are saying they don't get officially together until 42. It's still cute and they have a great chemistry, so personally I recommend it.

SORRY THIS WILL BE LONG lol

Just random thoughts here...

I find it really hard to believe that Sun Yu Qi would just give up so easily. She was never found out for her role in trying to take down YZZ, she literally just disappeared. Why?

I super hate Xia Yuan, she's the worst friend. It was clear to me early on that she was only really pushing YZZ towards Zheng Bo Xu because she was already developing feelings for Yu Zi Rui. (it was obvious when she ran into him at the stand where he was selling key chains) But seriously, who decides to HATE their long time BFF over unrequited feelings for a guy? YZZ was so nice to her through that whole thing and even tried to help her and that's how she repays her? She was like a child throwing a tantrum. I also hated the way Yu Zi Rui constantly told her he wasn't comfortable with her advances and she still pushed herself on him. (I did appreciate his consistent honesty about his feelings, but did NOT appreciate the awkward position he put YZZ in later when he realized he messed up losing her)

I saw people saying Zheng Bo Xu never had any character development, but I think from like 30+ he definitely showed a huge change in maturity. Even before that, he started gradually treating people better. Change is hard and doesn't happen overnight, I appreciated that they took their time with it.

Zheng Bo Xu's dad was a typical jerk rich dad with no respect for agency. He had a perfectly capable daughter right there, I don't see why she couldn't have taken over the business instead. Also, with how rich they are, why couldn't he get his son therapy after his mom's death? IDK if maybe that's just a cultural difference, but he definitely could have benefitted from it as a child.

I loved how sweet and graceful Kexin acted, even after being rejected. She never did a thing wrong and was just overly excited about a chance to be with him. She deserved better overall.

I may add more to this...I only just finished episode 38 lol

It's not for everyone. I only meant really that it doesn't make them a second choice or backup. There were other things that definitely made me more irritated in this show so far. (I'm on EP 38 now)

IMO ML wasn't a second choice, I think even if 2ML hadn't pre-emptively turned her down she would have ended up realizing she had feelings for him. Either way though, it's not unrealistic to move on when someone you like rejects you. That doesn't make your next partner your second choice, clearly it means there's a reason you didn't end up with the other person. I thought this was worth watching.

I know this is an old comment, but I feel like A LOT of c-dramas do this. They focus so much on business and sometimes over explain things the viewers (likely) don't really care about and some probably won't understand.

I had to stop watching. I was watching on Tubi and at episode 13, the subtitles stopped working. There are none for the first like 20 minutes of most episodes after that and the ones that start are at least 5-10 minutes off. Really disappointed, I liked the show so far.

I'm only on episode 8, but I am seriously so bothered by how much Shen Zhen intentionally victimizes herself. I don't have money either and I have my pride and don't ask for help, but I am also grateful for any help anyone offers me. I've never thought I was "a trash can" for accepting clothes or food donated either by friends or kind strangers. I did really like when Ye Miao called her on it at least. I've already read the spoilers, so I'm sure I won't like her more later.

I can't say how it is in SK, but I can tell you that bullying in the US can get really bad. I was told to kms by guys in HS back in the early 2000s and cyber bullying is even worse today. In middle school, one group of girls tormented me and threatened me on my way home from school every day. In places where grades and status are more important, I could see it being even worse. (my town isn't very wealthy and rich kids generally go to different high schools, so there's not usually clashes due to status or anything)

I know this comment is old...but for anyone else confused, he did not die. He lived and he possessed his friend for the sake of his OWN love with Hyung Kyung. He wanted to help her, even if he couldn't do it in his own body. He didn't know if he'd even survive at that point, so I think, it was all he could do in the moment.

I totally forgot about this movie, but it was so good! I wish I could find it again, they took it off amazon. :/

I don't really understand the low ratings here...I thought this movie was great and it was totally different from other movies in this genre. Underrated imo I'll post a review soon, but I think I'll re-watch first.
