This drama is like peeling an onion....The more eps. we watch, the more we learn about about our leads and co. which is fun. So Luan Nian wants to feel safe and Zhi Tao wants to feel secure in this relationship. Who knew these two seemingly similar words could be differentiated here 🤔 Me wondering, if that's the case why oh why would you opt for a Situationship...talk about a recipe for disaster. Zhi Tao doesn't address her concerns or whatever she is thinking hence retreats or avoid instead. When Luan Nian senses that he goes on offense or defense mode. E.g. how he reacts after the answer to the "is she your girlfriend- ZT =No". After seeing LN with his family, you can see how lonely he feels...well that desert analogy was spot on. He relies on himself and that super independence led him to isolate. It's a survival mechanism which works but doesn't mean it's healthy. And he knows that. So what he wants is someone who makes him feel safe and relaxed, not feel like he is carrying the world on his shoulder. And that is lacking with Zhi Tao cause her insecurities are creating uncertainty and we all know people like LN don't want that. Overall, the main issue is, you can not get safety from an insecure person..unfortunately. On the other hand, Zhi Tao is someone who wants to feel secure hence show and tell should be the remedy e.g. clear communication, reassurance. But because her behavioural response is to flunk off LN at any chance something bothers her instead of address, his responses make her feel even more insecure. And the thing is, until you feel like you're good enough in yourself, noone else is gonna make you feel that secure. Miss Childhood friend...gal bye. Sun Yu - hunny your advise is bad and wonder how you work in a dating service 🤔 LN's parents esp. pah, like really... so you noticed your son being aloof and cold towards people from a young age and what did you do...yeah parents of the year award goes to🙄
Well said!I wrote in an earlier post that I wasn’t satisfied with how their relationship is being portrayed.…
Oh right...I think I might need to read the novel then cause so far a lot is missing. Btw even if they are having an ambiguous relationship, they never said thisbis purely physical, so why can't they talk. Like Hyunelovebot said, a lot might have been cut.
Sigh...Finally I'm all caught up (yeah too much to watch and too little time) So you're telling me these two are in a Situationship that they BOTH agreed on but Hate 🤔🤨Right😏 Nowonder they are gonna have 6 years of misery, I mean who wants that. Let's start with Luke: So he is also insecure about where he stand in his situation. Luke actually loves Zhi Tao but the issue is he is now decided to follow her pace in fear of getting too close and partly pushing her away. The irony is his actions are doing exactly that..tsk tsk He is busy making sense and expressing himself to his restaurant bestie but go all 🔇 when it comes to the very person who needs to hear it the most. Another problem for Luke is his boundaries are crooked when it comes to relationships 🙄. Nowonder these crazy women from the past drive him nuts cause he is poor at healthy boundaries. Even that attempt to the so-called "Childhood friend" wasn't really much. He should have added that, now that he has told her he has a girlfriend whom he hasn't told about miss Childhood friend, the latter has to maintain distance to avoid any misunderstanding. Or rather, say No. Tell me, did he needed to spend his New Year with his friends instead of his "girlfriend"...Nope. But he chose to which sends a message to ZT (already insecure) of where on the priority list she is on. Surely his friends would have been just fine without him this New Year..So this one, he dug his own grave. Now with Zhi Tao, her main foe is her insecurity. She is literally her own worst enemy when it comes to self-critic. So she literally dug her own grave by adding those conditions to their situationship e.g. don't tell friends, family. This is the part she shouldn't have said. And I bet if ZT had said, introduce me to so and so, Luke would be like "Yes". Which means she is still stuck on the "I'm not good enough for him" trend and it starts getting boring. And because of her insecurity, she is not addressing certain issues e.g the childhood friend. These two could have easily had a proper relationship discreet from their coworkers (those company staff are blind anyway).and not anyone else, if they had both chose to but they didn't 🙄(actually watched a drama with leads who had a secret relationship for a long time without anyone from work finding out..thin Miles Wei is in it) Alas, these two are feeding off eachother's insecurities so I'm not surprised by the inevitable. Now the last point is for the writer and director...like why are you portraying their relationship like it's only s3x 🤔cause so far, we haven't really seen these two doing much instead of work and making out or s3x. What happened to dates and talking etc...Cause if this is all we see for their 6 year relationship, how are you going to make me invested in their heartbreak and emotional pool. Anywho, I'm still here for this situationship leading to a train wreck with my popcorn on. P.S. my POV ofc
I literally spit my drink with that first scene of ep. 1...cause I wasn't expecting that so it took me off guard. Btw I am seein a lot of JOBS lately in BL dramas 😉😅 Like damn these guys are getting some. One drama that has too many jobs to count is Knot Thai-BL like woah, these guys are hardworking 😃
my bet is that he will not come out from the emotionally constipated persona and smth big will happen at work…
Good guess...Not sure if he is the type to throw a colleague under the bus though given he know how it feels to be betrayed. However, I wonder what choice he would make if he were to make a decision that do not align with her views.
Well I'm beginning to get an idea on how things might have led to the way things will go for them... So Luke has experience and I bet he has seen his fair share of women throwing themselves on him and very few are genuine. Then he meets this girl who seems different...Why...well she is not from the city, doesn't appear materialistic, but young and pure and that got him attracted. No doubt he likes her; I mean those qualities he listed to Alex says so but it is the above that makes him attracted to her. The problem now with Luke is, his radar is up and constantly looking for what if which explains why he immediately followed up on that baseless comment from his friend and try to make amends with an expensive bag...after all, maybe that's based on past experience. I'm guessing his problem is gonna be either trying to shield her from everything whilst trying to make her stay the way she is or his doubts about the person she becomes with time. Now, for Zhi Tao.. bless her. She just fell in love at first sight and the man she has been fantasising in her dreams suddenly say "do you wanna....😉" and all logic is out of the window. I mean we all been there done that, got tshirts. The issue with her is in the way she handles things after which actually shows how green she is on this. She can't belive that they did that and he is into her hence find every excuse under the sun to suggest otherwise. Me thinking...gal then why did you sleep with him. Anywho, it's done now hence her move should be to talk about it like adults not brush it off, dismiss it or change to Alex's team cause that's just temp. She made a statement that in the adult world things don't need to be spelled out. And that's very wrong. Things need to be spelled out especially in adulthood cause we are all too busy to read minds. So I guess her problem will be her own perception of things and her conclusions in her head instead of air everything out. So with these two, there is a lot to unpack and I'm here with my popcorn. P.S. Certain YouTuber I like said that when it comes to intimacy, you need to follow the lead of the partner who wants things slow. And I agree 💯
All 4 eps. done and what do I think... Well I can't wait till they start the relationship and see all their smexy smouldering scenes. After all these two are super attracted to eachother....She fell first and he is falling harder. The mystery is how the hell will they keep this relationship under wraps with the way their eyes search for eachother in every room. Like I can feel the tension even when their 10metres apart so how busy are their colleagues that they will not notice these two 🤔 Other than that, there isn't too much to the story and if anyone is looking for a slice of life, this definitely ain't it. As for eye-candy and some romance fantasy where you start wishing if you had your sepcial someone beside you...well, you are definitely at the right place...Welcome And if all fails well...Jing Bo Ran 😋🥵🥵🥰
There something about her personality in these early episodes that just irks. Hope she’ll change my mind as…
In other words...Let's hope she stop being naive and stupid. Like just because she comes from a different city doesn't mean she has been living under a rock...My opinion
I have tried to like Lil Jane and still failing 🤦I just can't. Reason: The way he treats P'Jane can be very cruel. 1)So he got with P'Jane despite everyone else's preventing him to. 2) He listens to the rumours etc and finally started having trust issues. 3) He cruelly breaks up with P'Jane 4) Suddenly he is acting moochy moochy with Dan 5) Something happens to Jet and he crawls back to P'Jane for help 6) He agrees to P'Jane's conditional help and yet soon after he gives him the cold shoulder 7) His besty died soon after he had tried to force him....8) He immediately blames P'Jane just cause "besty" whispered that name 9) He cruelly dumps P'Jane 10) Meets P'Jane again after whatever years and wants him back cause now he knows the truth 11) He sees P'Jane talking on the phone or random people and trust issues crops up again so P'Jane has to reassure him 12) He tells P'Jane never to dissappear again and they won't separate. 13) Something happened with Jet and immediately he turns his blame to P'Jane 14) Realised this time it's different and yet he needs to blame P'Jane somehow so he leads with cold shoulder 15) Him and his family accept P'Jane's proposal after all- Why cause it's more than what the bank is offering 16) He packs his bags and tells P'Jane he needs tim e apart 🙄🙄🙄🙄 Like talk about Hot and Cold treatment...Gaslighting Promax. Lil Jane loves a certain version of P'Jane that's in his head not the real P'Jane. So when the real clashes with his imagination...that's a problem. Nowonder his love for P'Jane comes with conditions. Whereas P'Jane's love comes with desperation hence why he accepts even bread crumps from Lil Jane. Why- cause that's better than having nothing at all. P.S. You all who like Lil Jane...good for you cause that's my opinion so leave me alone 😑
One person fell upon other person from the bed, yet there was no kiss! In all the dramas I’ve watched from Korea,…
For me the mystery is how did I get this far with this drama cause knowing me, I would be complaining about lack of romance and even drop it. And yet here I am 🤔
Title: Genius Girlfriend Me: Who is girlfriend of who here cause noone is in a relationship in this drama. So you are telling me these two will finally get married (as per trailer) at this pace they are going 🤔🤨wow, miracles never cease to exist Anywho, the ones I'm interested in right now is the bickering friends Ting Ting and Qi Yan. So here is the thing, I don't think they are suitable with eachother and here is why. They are soooo similar and nothing is wrong with that but the issue with these two is they are even similar on their negative traits. I think they could do well as friends or sibling-like relationship but as lovers it won't last a sec (in real life). DQY needs someone complementary but more chill and that's what Restaurant sis is. And you can see how his tone of voice changes around her. I think she could be good for him and him for her too. The problem I feel I have with these writers is their justification of why a couple should be together is based on some very shallow or stupid reasons. So I'm curious to see how these 2 turn out. I honestly don't feel sorry for Fu Xian because it was obvious our OTP had something special so for him to have lasted this long pining for her....well, Sir your choice. Btw ain't hospitals supposed to talk about treatment options with patients and their family/guardian 🤔 As for Bai Hui, gal it's time to stop having any expectation whatsoever on your so-called parents. Apples will never be oranges. BH marrying into the Lin family is literally winning a lottery cause they will give her one thing her so-called parents could never...and that's Unconditional Positive Regard. Those 2 pimps think BH will suffer...well think again. All we need is for Lin gege to step up and be real with our smart sis BH.
So Lu Qing and Lu Xin are half siblings right (I think they share the same mother??) not even step or adopted etc. So why is Lu Xin pining over her brother.... like they share blood...is she mentally unwell cause that's disgusting to the max 🤮🤮🤢 Or am I missing something here 🤔 😕
Omg this ep was soo much fun. I went from LOL in past ep. to literally be at the edge of my seat until that beast was caught. Wait a damn minute, so the husband also has a secret. From his past reaction on the mention of Kingfisher, it seems like he know that's his wife, right??? But what if he is also under disguise and approached her knowing the fact 🤔 🤭😯Cause what was that text about. I was thinking his reactions were of worry, concern and fear for his wife. But what if it's also about him being conflicted between his own feelings and whatever mussion is on etc 🤔 Don't tell me he is a spy 😳 Hmmm endless theories, I'm sooo intrigued. Btw who the heck is in Russia 😏🤨 And don't they dare take our cinammon roll Yul, otherwise Kingfisher will be the least of their problems.
I swear to you, Off's character Thun is doing a tremendous job at pi***ing me off, like he is doing the devil's work. Gosh how can someone be this repulsive.... And no need to guess cause he is the mastermind and it seems he knows hypnosis too...maybe that's what he uses to control his puppets. I guess the question is, Sir who hurt you? 🤔 😏 Back to Kay and Phat, their bromance is ticklish...hehehe. I adore them and it's in those little glances, smiles, little things like sharing a cigarette that warms my heart....Who knew cig to cig lighter could be that sexy 😉 This is the BROMANCE I have missed and craving for a while now.

Zhi Tao, you are one lucky woman and gal I wouldn't keep my hands to myself too if I were you...lol
