People are complex. They can be totally reasonable on one subject, but lose their minds over another. We don't…
Err.... you're not supposed to sympathise with him, I think he's there mainly as a comic relief and a wall of ~unreasonable and possessive men~ canvas against which SY's perfection can be shown in stark contrast, LOL. I mean... it's pretty obvious, right? Either of them are unrealistic, let's be honest. I've been 26 myself and I definitely was not myself - or others of my age - that mature and/or considerate of anyone else's feelings TO THAT EXTENT.
SY and his family dynamics is the absolute best way to live, IMHO. We all love them because they're amazing, but let's not pretend we personally know anyone who lives like that, even with the benefit of doubt since we only see the outside of them. But nobody who fights like that makes up so smoothly, nobody has always an optimistic view of the world, nobdy can pass over life's trials with so much peace of mind.
TBH, I love the quiet manner things are happening - even the fights (no throwing of things, no constant yelling, just regular people trying to communicate), but they're a bit saintly, LOL. Then again, that's why I'm watching the drama, if I wanted passionate (and yelling, and fighting and regular manic lovers) I'd've watched some xianxia blockbuster right now, LOL.
Oh well, I'm enjoying the pace (with the sudden impulse to check my phone when the hockey couple and the uncle are on-screen) and I think it's saddening it's coming into it's last third soon :(
Great to see Sheng Yang going his own way with two people who he can trust. It's not going to be easy but it is…
People are complex. They can be totally reasonable on one subject, but lose their minds over another. We don't fit completely into any one mould.
I can see ShanShan's POV. She's still friends with JB and so she does have her interest in mind - and she is way more free in her lifestyle than her friend. She wouldn't see any problem into dating anyone you like, no matter any other issues but that you liked them. Why wouldn't she advise JB to follow her heart?
As for Xue - they just divorced. It's not like there's a switch to throw and everything related to the person you've lived with for ten years just goes away. It's normal he's being affected, particularly since they're still into each other's spaces.
As for the uncle and the hockey team, the less said the better. At least they've been missing for a whole episode, I count it as a win.
XYM is reacting how I expect of a someone like him . His ego is bruised because if his ex is with someone younger…
Now that I had time to cool off, though, LOL, he was kind of desperate, wasn't he? There's no need for other people to come out and say it - he's lost, and he definitely knows it hahaha. All he has is the money he "invested" and that's about it.
They aren't getting famous. They are getting blacklisted by viewers. The director and the scriptwriter too. Come…
It's strange though, they've both (he and the actress playing the sister) been in plenty of dramas, and are in the later 20s, so no new faces at all. I think it's all because of wanting to whip up some face recognition for him when they announce him as YBY. Who knows.
But in the end, it's pretty frustrating when you have GOOD actors RIGHT THERE and they won't give them enough screen time to move the story along. Argh.

I did read the comment he'll be playing YBY, replacing XZ in JoL. In all those unnecessary scenes I've been spending my time trying to imagine if he'd fit. According to the novel, YBY is quite a cold and reserved person, and I've no idea if the actor can do that, but leaving the drama aside... it can't be good for his career to get so much push when it's unwanted and come to be known as someone's (or some agency's) next hyped actor. At least not when it's done so blatantly.
Oh well, it's been done before. We'll all see what comes of it.
Xue YiMing is being totally unreasonable, but what else is to be expected from him. He and SY played the manned version of "fighting rock with eggs" LOL. The ashtray would probably have counted, had it come into play.
I'm starting to feel like that 3-year break, if it happens (I've seen blurbs get it wrong before) will be toward the ending of the drama.
GAH episode 20 is SO frustrating!!!! Enough with the side couples already!
Even ShanShan walking into doors because she's blinded by SY's radiance doesn't help much. I'll just go let my computer update to de-stress before the next ep.
The real MVP these two eps - Song Chen. But even he can't defeat the superdetective MOM. Bad news indeed. I guess…
LOL @the hockey couple, hahaha, poor guy, he was mentally preparing to get confessed to... and she confessed she wanted his byke. His FACE LOL.
How come Song Chen is such a cute lil' bunny?? He even said he needed the freaking job to stay in the city or he'd have to return home, but still didn't desert his best friend in his lowest hour. I am proud of him. I want them to start their own mini-adv. company and hit it big. Jiayou!!
PS Jian Bing's reaction - and wanting to quit the company is also heartfelt. Her BFF betrayed her trust, her ex is not really clear on what he actually wants, why should she stay? If she does, she should change the terms.
I guess we can conclude Sheng Yang got rejected because he was not wearing his lucky T shirt 😂
If he wore the stain patch t-shirt, she'd be focusing on that fake stain so hard she'd say "yes" and never hear the question, LOL. Oh well, maybe he'll use it next time :D
You know what would have me rioting though? What about her wearing his damn fake stain t-shirt, eh? :D
Sleazy team leader is raising all my hackles. He's definitely going to do something shady. All hail Love Doctor…
LOL @Uncle Fang, he doesn't stand a chance hahaha. And he's trying so hard.
Poor SY though. Despite that sweet confession, she shot him down... Well, I can see her point. I wouldn't want to jump from one relationship to another just like that, so fast, either.
But Song Chen and his movie references, LOL. "She just got out from a relationship and is shouting FREEDOM and there you stand and call out to her - ~No, no, I've just built you a NEW prison, come back inside!~" Totally on point.

Yes, that's why.

Also, dad Sheng:: I want to eat the breakfast my son bought me.
Can he be more precious?
And Song Chen on the detective track, being his most sincere self with Pan Rou. I ship them hard. Let's give them a win!
Say what you will, but listen: when SY is wearing the damned stain tshirt, things ALWAYS go his way. Let him wear it LOL.
PS ShanShan with the advice about men - spot on! She's being a little gray on the BFF department, but she knows her stuff, LOL.

Aww, SY telling Jian Bing he'll do it right the first time because he knows what she wants.
Also SY putting time limits on their relationship LOL. How many years is that?
And 183.6 cm tall, hahaha. He's only 16.6 cm taller than me. I think we'd fit. And if not, I'll just wear platform shoes :D
I mean, doesn't he see this kid over here? (This just a little bit older kid. Well, much older kid. Still, a kid just the same!!)
Mom is sweet. Let's just have more of mom and less of the hockey, okay?!

Are two people (who have already known her for a long time) all the men on Earth? LOL.
Her friend ShanShan must be the Queen Bee herself then, what with all those men around her.
