I wasn't so sure about this, but episode 7 & 8 sold me!! The FL is so fun to root for, her boyfriend is the sweetest, and the mom has already grown so much and won me over! Plus I love the aunt & uncle, such a supportive core cast.
It's really heartwarming watching Xiaolan get a second chance at everything that was taken from her the first time around.
This is just another episode of building up her tending to his injuriesðŸ˜we’ve been seeing this since the…
yeah, the show feels quite repetitive, as though they don't quite know what else to do with the couple to create intimacy. Also, it's quite annoying when they keep telling us he's SO injured, but almost every time we see him he's doing okay. The reason she keeps insisting she'll support him is because he's supposed to be quite hurt, but the show doesn't want ZLH to look "weak", so they're constantly contradicting themselves
15 episodes left and she still seems way too naive...honestly, kind of dumb, messing with the main hostage when…
yeah this episode was honestly quite bad. this is their biggest prisoner of war but she was allowed to just lead him out of the cave? huh?? I think they went a bit too far with the ridiculousness in this one
Fei Ni admitted her error in hiding the fake marriage contract poorly. But i don’t blame her for making one,…
personally, I'm a fan of if you're going to do the thing, do the thing properly. if you're going to fake being married, don't create hard evidence about how fake your marriage is. so my conclusion is it never should have been made in the first place.
what was its point anyway? it's not enforceable, so it's not a real contract. it's just a private agreement between the two. I'm not seeing what the contract is supposed to do that a conversation couldn't. and conversations don't lie around waiting to be discovered, haha.
Who said they're street smart? LOL I never thought that. He can be quite cunning and creative in tight situations,…
You were questioning whether they're street smart. So I started out by defining how I measure street smarts, so that I can justify how they fit that metric as a couple. Choosing to read that as condescension feels more like an ego thing.

if you'll reread my comment, I was speaking about them as a COUPLE. I never single out one person. Them together are both intelligent and inventive. I find this a weird thing to be so argumentative about, since the entire show is about how they find ingenious solutions to problems that can't be fixed by following the rules. that's the definition of street smart.
Who said they're street smart? LOL I never thought that. He can be quite cunning and creative in tight situations,…
yes, street smarts refers to being cunning, i.e. coming up with creative ideas to problem solving.
book smart means traditional intelligence.
as a couple, they're portrayed as being both: cunning but also well educated. they come up with sneaky plans to solve their problems (street smart), but they're also well read and articulate (book smart)
I really think the lead couple aren't as smart as the show makes them out to be. We're supposed to believe they're both book smart and street smart enough to find their way out of any problem, but they also wrote a contract about how fake their marriage is and signed it (lol). And they couldn't even just sleep in the same bed for the sake of just keeping up appearances. And I distinctly remember Fang Muyang telling Fei Ni she can only read in the warehouse, but of course she carried the banned book home because why not?
Almost every time they get in trouble, it's their own fault for making some truly dumb decisions. At some point, I don't even blame Feng Lin cause they're partly responsible for always sabotaging themselves.
oh my god yess. I think Xiaodan and Xia Lei are so much better for each other. Xiaoman should be with someone who wants a small, simple life and doesn't care about having a big career
I like that Xiaodan finally realized how unfair their relationship is to Xiaoman. He has no real ambition for his own life, but he's burning himself out trying to keep up with her. He would never let her go, so I'm glad she's self aware enough to end things herself.
I really dislike xiaoman for having no brain or common sense he gave away all the money he made without thinking…
oh my god I was coming here to rant about the same thing. like, why give the money away?? it's so foolish. he could have used that money to come back and build a new life, or even give it Mr Ding if he didn't want it for himself anymore. Xiaoman just doesn't have any real goals for himself or any life direction; everything has always revolved around following Xiaodan. he's kind of hard to root for at times.
I agree that Fei Ting is a dolt, but I'm sick of his wife, who is just as bad as her rotten family. Forcing him…
this is the best analysis of Lin Mei I've seen since the show began. I don't think she's intentionally cruel, she's just internalized her family's judgment and feels the need to prove herself and her marriage. It doesn't excuse her actions, but it helps us understand her better.
