Finished drama ..kind of slow like first frost but sweet…wish they didn’t put so much lipstick on songwielong..he…
I had the same question regarding what he meant when he said "of things returned" (I'm guessing it might have to do with Xi Guang telling Zhuang Xu at their last confrontation that being with Yu Sen was not a choice after Yu Sen had openly confessed to her - the "things returned" I speculated to be as "feelings returned.") This scene didn't happen in the novel (so couldn't get any insight from there) but the novel did have a epilogue devoted to Zhuang Xu. His last encounter with Xi Guang was years later where she walked by talking happily on the phone with Yu Sen. Zhuang Yu didn't approach her but was comforted that she was happy. The novel did indicate that Zhuang Xu was still single but had dated two girlfriends in the past. They had broken up with him because on feeling "lonely". The novel also didn't include Xi Guang/Yu Sen having a child...
All 5 of her novels have become dramas. A couple other dramas (now over 10 years old) based on her novels are…
On a side note, the male lead (Feng Teng) of Boss & Me (different actor of course) makes a cameo in Love O2O... Years ago I also remember reading a side story written by Gu Man of the leads of the 2 novels meeting...
Also, I noticed in Shine on Me the Aunt talking about Feng Teng Organization (episode 34 at 20:21) - wonder if this was a shoutout to Boss & Me...
I think something that comes with Gu Man novels being adapted into dramas is having a VERY satisfying ending.…
All 5 of her novels have become dramas. A couple other dramas (now over 10 years old) based on her novels are My Sunshine (Silent Separation) and Boss & Me (Shan Shan Comes to Eat).
There are also movies based on My Sunshine and Love O2O and Boss & Me and Love O2O have a Thai and Japanese version, respectively.
I'm kinda hoping that her older dramas get a remake...
When I was reading Blazing Sunshine (Shine on Me) 13 or so years ago, I thought it was somewhat of a smashup of Silent Separation/My Sunshine and Shan Shan Comes to Eat/Boss & Me.
Unfortunately, she is an extremely slow writer so no new drama is expected until she finishes her next novel (whenever that might be)...
I think the drama does an outstanding job in following and capturing the essence of the novel.
The only issue that I had with the novel was I had expected a better resolution to the Zhang Xu storyline, especially after Gu Man had left us wondering for 10 long years as to who would ultimately be end game. While I was never on the Zhang Xu ship, I guess I was hoping for a better understanding of Zhang Xu actions but I guess I should just be happy that he was written in such a way that I never suffered from Second Male Lead Syndrome (that is, once it became clear in the second novel that he was in fact the second male lead).
Fun "family hears thoughts" drama. FL transmigrates into a 1980s novel as the villainess wife. She's been promised the ability to hear others thoughts but due to a system glitch, her husband and his family can all hear her thoughts instead.
It's actually so refreshing to see a positive and supportive relationship between two mature adults, I'm loving…
Ah! Thanks! I watched Amidst A Snowstorm of Love back in 2024 when it was airing. It was really good and so was the novel on which it was based. I do love Mo Bao Fei Bao's novels and associated dramas. In addition of Gu Man and Mo Bao Fei Bao, I also love the novels/dramas by Zhu Yi.
