I just finished my first rewatch and loved it so much. But one thing that struck me was Chris. Although like that taxi driver I loved watching the SML spiral out, WHY did she tell him with such confidence that Xiguang was still single? She saw the couple bonding and enough time had passed that they could very well have made their relationship official, but she told SML she was single like there was a wide opening for his delusional ass.

Around episode 23 (?), ML recalls when he first saw FL at the party and how impressed he was by her fiery spirit. They didn't actually meet, but his friend told him that she wanted him to visit her and go to see the plum blossoms. The friend was actually talking about the nasty mistress's evil spawn, but ML didn't know that because they never said a name, just Mr. Nie's daughter. He's upset that she extended this invitation, he has this terrible, life redefining accident and she never checked on him.

I thought the whole "Isn't that your student's cousin" thing was hilarious, too, but also kept thinking, Mind your own business, second male lead's colleagues. Don't you see how much fun our main couple is having together?

I love this series so much. Just did a rewatch.

LOL!!!!!

You will be doing yourself a disservice if you don't watch this series. It's THAT good.

I feel your pain, although I watched these series as they aired, including the express episodes. And that was after the glorious period of Speed and Love and Sniper Butterfly. They were all so good that my alarm was set for whatever crazy hour they aired each morning, lol, like it was my job.

I have been floundering for nearly two weeks now, watching old things like Love Me, Love My Voice, 1% of Something, I May Love You, When I Fly Towards You, etc. It's really sad.

Today, though, I started a rewatch of SOM and when I'm done will rewatch LBL. I also want to watch My Page in the 90s, but for some reason have been sitting on the fence.

You are not missing anything, dear. Not a thing. Those people who think h'es a green flag are delusional and spewing crazy talk. Also, from what I understand there is little in common between the drama and the novel.

It's a miracle the actor wasn't constantly sneezing his head off the way we were talking so badly about his character when this show was airing. It was great fun and shows how wonderful his portrayal of this awful person was, lol.

He never thought it was her fault. He was upset that she didn't visit him during his recovery and that she didn't even seem to know he'd been in such a horrible accident.

I think he had started growing attached to her and seeing her hurt and crying made him decide to just let the grudge go, especially since she seemed to have no recollection of the accident and did not realize she'd hurt him somehow. Like he said, after a year of being dramatic about his hand it was enough already.

Why did my third watch of this beautiful series hit so much harder? I felt so much angst and even had literal butterflies in my stomach when he was expressing his love. A million sighs.

She tried to sell the painting to Mr. Han but he convinced her that it was a forgery, so she took it back to the house.

I can only accept the second ending if I want to continue to live, lol.

I'm going with the after the credits scene because that's the only way I can live with myself and don't care what happened in the book, which I will never read. Also agree about the mother.

My sentiments exactly. I love this series so very much and OMG Jerry Yan. I am doing a rewatch and almost have a guttural reaction to some of his moves. When watching Speed and Love I thought that He Yu was a younger, sexier, more sensuous version of Jerry Yan, but Mr. Yan wins hands down.

Also fast forwarding the mum's storyline.

Yes, she switched the painting, but they didn't show it.

He started developing an interest in her at around episode 7 or 8; maybe sooner. And then he fell hard. I love the ML in this series. He is even loving to the cat!

I don't remember. Will pay closer attention on rewatch.

I couldn't believe my eyes today when I saw that the final episode hadn't yet dropped on Netflix.

We heard police sirens when ML was confronting the step-father with his crimes, so I think he went to prison.

I never felt sorry for him because he's such a schemer. Yes, it was nice of him to set her free in the divorce, but before that he just stood by and let his mother abuse her. He did not deserve her. Plus, stop trying to get back with someone who clearly has no feelings for you.

Excited it's on Netflix, too!!!
