I'm really, really glad they changed so many things from the novel. Yes, this episode solved a lot of issues that take their own time in the novel but I think it was for the best. Nobody wanted to see Gen tell Aoey she needs to date Great/find a boyfriend or get out of her life, I think all of us are done with that game of them making each other jealous and I'm glad the writers chose not to go in that direction. Besides, Gen in the book is really horrible, she kisses everyone in the drunk scene and then, to make her mom believe she's actually dating the doctor, she gives him a tongue kiss in front of her and Aoey. I'm so, so glad we didn't have to see that. The worst part of the episode was probably the non-consensual scene, which I must admit, surprised me. It was actually way too triggering, I think they should have put some kind of warning the beginning of the episode. They did change that too, I think. I'm pretty sure Aoey in the book was actually raped but not in the show. So many great changes. I'm surprised by this series. They managed to turn a trash book with a trash story into a beautiful love story.
Although the story is beautiful, I am honestly tired of Lesbian couples in series getting the "realistic" ending while gay couples get to be happy in series.
Slow -paced romantic drama. Enjoyed it tho because of bai lu. I like the way she acts. They once kissed on the lips and never happens again.. FL kisses him on his cheeks only afterwards. I dunno maybe there's an issue on ML's side
There is just something that puts me off from watching dramas of actors/actresses who are married. This has been one of those,no matter how much i wanted to watch Bai Lu doing her things,but Ren Allen being married doesnt help my delulu..so i kept passsing this one.When the dramaland well dried up and there was nothing captivating to watch,I broke my own promise and pressed play.
I never saw the prequel One and only so i had no back story to fall on to but the FL's flashback memories helped to understand that she was a "reincarnation" from the past and from what i red this prequel had a sad ending that broke people's souls so it was good that the characters were given a second chance to live.
That aside,It is just a good drama,the creators did a good job to bridge both project without washing off the historical setting.Its a modern drama with a histirical twist in terms of the storyline and the Set/architecture The vdiewers who had wathed the prequel,could identiffy who is who from old to new.
Now here comes my pain,I and a thousand others.Ren Allen. a solid actor and to be honest I would watch him again but not in drama with romantic tags.I though the "no physical contact" clause was a roumour but watching him and the directors playing hide and seedk with anything that would bring him an inch closer to the FL,went from anger to what in the name of all saints is this to now this is comedy.
It could have been ok if he was paired with a cold FL who has no personality but common,we are talking about Bai Lu here,even her smile and facial grimace tell you that she is down to whatever.. Anyway I will going to go on and on,I have already recovered from this so lets just say that its ok to have these types of boundaries on paper but it is also ok to send your manager a memo that says dont acccept romantic dramas.
Overall,It was a good drama my grievances are just from personal opinions.If you dont mind wathing a frustrated wife with a clueless but smart nerd husband with green flag quality You will enjoy the SLOOOOOOWWWW BURN
