I saw those comments about the novel. But for me it’s not about the initial misunderstanding. It’s about being an adult and a mother. If your child is suddenly mad, ignoring you or otherwise out of the ordinary (I don’t know yet because we’re not there yet) it’s your job to get to the bottom of it and trying to maintain a connection. Leaving for some great opportunity, divorcing, getting remarried, raising, caring and loving an other child then your own are choices you make. For me the fact that photographer girl doesn’t even know FL as the daughter of her ‘mom’ says it all. Giving money and crashing parties isn’t love it’s buying of and handling out of guilt. So in my book with what we know so far mom is irredeemable. But I bet that’s not how the story goes…

If you are just starting show it really is a spoiler. Even if it turns out inevitable because you don’t know that either!

When you watch while not totally attentive or doing something else at the same time (me) you will likely miss the showing of the eps title because it shown for under 2 seconds. It was confusing for me before I knew that there is some kind of scene preview stuck between opening en title. I really don’t see the point in adding that!

I see what you mean and I think you’re right.

8:12 One day to Z101’s inaugural flight on TV screen in meeting room. Crew with Captain Yue passes by. Captain Fan calls FL to join them. They inspect the plain.

Followed by scene FL and SML in car. Friends text FL about celebrating tomorrow.

Next scene is FL and ML in elevator. ML brings up inaugural flight tomorrow (no drinking).

Then the scene Captain Yue and purser are talking about coming back from Spain.

Either the subtitles are wrong or incomplete or we are missing context (maybe they came back that morning and went straight to work) but the timeline doesn’t ad up!

I know! Ep 10 could be that dropping it ep for me. I found it really boring focusing on other couples. I don’t get that they have multiple couples in a 24 ep drama and they also want to tell us about aviation. If I could watch another ep directly there would be a chance they hooked me again. But I will have to wait till tomorrow to see if I’m still into this.

Secretary Yu’s death isn’t a spoiler?

I sherlocked 🕵🏻‍♀️it:

EP 5/13:00 uur Pilot/purser secret couple come back from Spain.
EP 5/24.00 Meeting where purser finds out FL is a pilot not a waitress. Secret boyfriend is attending to.

So that a clear timeline. But I think I know what’s making you confused. Every episode starts with a glimpse in the future. That is set between the opening (OST with animation) and the title of the episode (also animated).

For example in ep 4/1:39 you see the purser and her stewardess friend going to Fly bar to see the FL as a waitress. FL and friend leave in friends new car. 2:21 episode title (A Big Liar Indeed!) 2:23 real start ep. Scene at Fly bar actually happens at 16:26.

Does make explanation make sense?

Spoiler tag please

Two eps to get us hooked. Then 1 ep to make the drama last longer. Especially with 24 eps in total the running time is really short otherwise. I can explain but I hate it too!!!

Care to explain? Maybe we can help?

Here here! I know the FL is harsh. And she probably is with her mom. But no matter what ‘misunderstanding’ there is between them mom had to be the adult in holding on to her daughter. But the mom went, got married and raised and cared for an other girl. Judging from her reaction the other girl doesn’t know she had a daughter or at least doesn’t know FL is her daughter. That means she isn’t mentioned in the new happy family. Again even if the FL has a misunderstanding about/with mom, mom isn’t showing any kind of love of persistence in wanting to have a relationship. And sending money isn’t love or a relationship. It’s buying of guilt.

Ep 10 MC recap: the ML said one sentence to the FL to wich she replied ‘Oh’. The end.

Liking this so far. But why do the second couple (to be) get so much screentime? Show is only 24 eps in total, today just 1 ep not even 45 minutes playtime. I’m halfway through ep 10 and the only interaction between MC is a passerby look and a text…

I mean the drama (not movie) title changed. I read this:

The hit 2016 Chinese drama Love O2O had its title officially changed to "A Smile That Charms the City" on September 1, 2026.
The title change was officially filed and processed by the drama's production company, Shanghai Juku Culture Communication Co., Ltd. (also known as Gcoo Entertainment). The company completed the necessary regulatory filings in China to finalize the change. “A Smile That Charms the City" matches the literal translation of the original Chinese title, Wei Wei Yi Xiao Hen Qing Cheng.


No official statement of the reason behind the change. Netizens believe FL scandal could be a reason
An other possible reason I read about is that they hope to gain attention and attract new viewers.

The 2016 film adaptation starring Angelababy and Jing Boran shares the original literal translations of the novel's title (A Slight Smile Is Very Charming / Just One Smile Is Very Alluring).

I really like Yang Yang in general (and he was good in the drama) but I liked Jing Boran in the movie better. Best of both worlds for me would have been the movie couple in the drama. 😀

Bit late but the movie is called ‘One Smile Is Very Alluring’. There is a MDL page. I read somewhere that the series name is officially changed to that name too (because of the FL scandal) but I don’t know if it’s true. Movie is more fast paced but I like the leads and their chemistry better (although I love YangYang).

No nothing happend and nothing is going to happen anymore. 2ML is exit as of end ep 30.

Curious as well. I need a new series 😂

For me it was a enormous anti-climax. I had high hopes but this ep was all over the place. Felt more like a drunk ONS stand then the mains finally giving in to their feelings. Was the bed scene in the previews cut back or is this another scene? After all the push and pull they and up in bed together and then ML is off to save 2FL and FL is throwing a tantrum, yet again.
And all of an sudden after all those eps with zero chem Duan Jr en FL chef are being shipped together by writer? Why?

To me the only mature one this ep was Tan Jr. I’m so disappointed I’m not even looking forward to tomorrows ep(s).

What did you think and feel about today’s ep?

No, almost then she backed up.
