Okiee…understood, thanks for replying tho 🫰🏻

Thank youuuu🫡, now I can watch it…

Spoil for me please for those who already read the novel, is the ending SE or HEA or OE?

Yesss, I remember that part. I'm really curious about how he ended up becoming like that. The novel really didn't do him justice, I wish it had explored his side of the story a lot more.

Usually, there's something in a character's past that explains why they end up acting that way, but I honestly can't remember if the novel ever touched on it. If it didn't, I really hope the drama expands on his backstory because I feel like his character deserves much more depth.

I just finished it... I'm proud of myself. It was such a long journey, but I finally made it to the end....

Yesss, they're both at fault. But if I had to give extra points to anyone, it'd definitely be him because he has such a terrible mouth. The things he says are sometimes way too harsh.

And I seriously don't understand why it was so hard for him to understand her feelings about SYZ. She already explained why they were both crying and how she saw SYZ as familyyyy. Why couldn't he just understand that? Even after SYZ was gone, he was still jealous. 😭 Bro... he's dead. What are you even jealous of???

And yessss, I wanted him to suffer as much as she did after the breakup. We saw so much of her pain, but the author barely described his. I really wish we'd gotten more of his perspective and seen him completely devastated too. It would've made the emotional payoff so much more satisfying.

I hope so… About 3/4 of the novel has basically been her initiating while he’s busy being a bitch, even after their feelings became mutual.

Hopefully, I’ll be satisfied by the end because I don’t usually read the novel before watching the adaptation. It’s really hard not to compare the two once you’ve already read the original story. 🫠

If only he learnt how to deep talk before hhmm…. They would be happily married with kids and a dog already

I’m on Chapter 119, and honestly, I don’t think it’s as simple as deciding who’s right or wrong. They’re both at fault, but I’d lean slightly more toward blaming him because he’s such a rude bitch.

That said, I really wish we got more of his perspective after the breakup. It almost felt like he just… moved on, and that was it. We didn’t get to see much of how the breakup affected him emotionally. We saw how devastating it was for her, but I wish the story had spent more time showing how hard it was for him too. I think that would’ve made their separation feel even more heartbreaking and balanced.

I can actually understand both him and her. They’re just terrible at communicating. They have completely different perspectives on work and life, and especially for him, he just doesn’t know how to express himself. That’s why so many of the things he does come across as way too rough, even when his intentions aren’t always bad. In life, if you’re not compatible enough with each other in term of everything…it’s hard to be together no matter how strong their love is…they just need to learn and understand each other…slowly

But I swear, I almost didn’t start this novel because I saw how many hundreds of pages it had. 😂 Once I started, though, I couldn’t put it down. Now I’m completely invested. 🫠

Damn… I never thought I’d end up crying. SYZ, you have my heart. I’ve been crying nonstop ever since his scene…

I also love seeing SZT slowly getting better. I can feel that was her final breaking point… and LN is such an idiottt. They both have their own issues, but he’s just… ughhhh. He frustrates me so much.

Currently reading the novel… He’s a walking red flag whenever he’s with her. Sometimes I love how much he cares for her, but other times he’s just way too rough with her.

As much as I’d hate to be treated like that in real life, thank goodness it’s fiction. 😂 I can definitely see why they chose to adapt this novel, it’s actually pretty good 👉🏻👈🏻

Just finished it! Hmmm... I think this drama had so much potential in the second half. Of course, since it's a romance drama, they also needed to balance it with the romance.

What I really liked was that both leads are not only good looking but can actually act. And I didn't realize CXX was that handsome when I watched Fall in Love years ago. 🫠 I guess Republican is really his genre because... wow, he's so handsomeeee.

I also loved how their relationship developed slowly. I'm a sucker for slow burn romances, and I really enjoyed watching both of them grow, especially her. Seeing her become more confident and improve in her dream job was so satisfying. Somehow, she even motivated me to start job hunting again after watching this.

What I didn't really like was how the drama became too sweet toward the end. I skipped quite a lot of the kissing scenes. To be fair, it makes sense since they had just gotten together. But personally, I think it would've been better if they balanced the romance with more projects where we could see their chemistry while working together and gets bigger with their co workers.

Of course, that's just my opinion. I tend to lose interest once a drama becomes overly sweet after the main couple gets together. I enjoy seeing them grow together through challenges more than just watching endless romantic moments. overall, the ost also good so solid 8/10 for me

Seeing her is like seeing myself struggling with my career. 😭 She has a degree in architecture, while I have one in engineering, yet neither of us ended up getting the jobs we originally dreamed of. It's honestly so exhausting.

And the fact that we both started our first jobs as assistants... like, UGHHH. 😭 I can see so much of myself in her.

The only difference is... she's eventually getting her CEO, while I'm still single, delusionally romantic, and waiting for my own happy ending. 🫠😂

I hope she takes on more darker or serious roles instead of comedies. 😭 I really think that's where her acting shines the most. She was incredible in Bloody Romance and Royal Nirvana. I became a fan of hers after Bloody Romance because she was just that good.

I can't really get into her comedy dramas since light hearted and comedy genres aren't really my thing. I definitely prefer seeing her in emotionally heavy, complex roles. And I've been ranting about wanting to see more of her ever since I watched the trailer for The Noble. It looks really gooddd

Damn, the trailer looks so good... 😭 I’ve always loved Li Yitong in these kinds of dramas. I think her acting really shines when she plays darker, more complex characters, like in Bloody Romance and Royal Nirvana. I guess she just enjoys doing comedies too, which isn't really my go to genre. And Cheng Xingxu is in it too?? This better be good... and please, air it asap!

How's the novel? Is it any good? Can anyone describe which drama has the closest vibe to it?

I'm not a fan of either of the leads, but I kinda like the teaser, and the acting looks really good too... Ughhh, when will it air? Next year?

I’m actually happy to see someone like you who understands the difference between traffic actors and serious actors. A lot of people love to brag about their favourite actors winning awards, but many of those awards are based on fan voting. Meanwhile, some underrated actors like ZJM or Li Landi are often overlooked despite their talent. You’ll often see them sitting in the second row at award ceremonies, and I feel they don’t always get the level of respect they deserve simply because they don’t generate as much traffic or popularity as the biggest traffic stars.

Of course, some traffic actors are genuinely talented too. I think, for many of them, it's more about choosing stronger scripts and more challenging roles if they want to earn greater recognition from industry professionals and jury panels.

That’s one of the reasons I was so happy when Wang Anyu won a jury award for his first film. It was judged entirely by professionals, with no fan voting involved, which really showed that he’s a genuinely capable actor. Hopefully, this project will be another great one....I’m so excited to see these two acting together.

It’s pretty normal to see people defending their favourite actors when their opinions don’t align with others. Some people might say, “You can just skip it if you’ve never finished her drama,” or, “It simply means this drama isn’t for you.”

But personally, I think the way you commented here was completely fine, although I can understand why some of her fans might still get offended. It’s okay to share your opinions as long as you’re not being hateful, but people can get offended so easily these days, no matter how carefully you word things...

Actually, I get your point. I’ve only watched two of his dramas... one I finished and loved, while I dropped the other simply because I just couldn’t connect with his acting. Like, I know he’s good, but for some reason, I just couldn’t get into it. I honestly don’t even know why...

Even though I enjoyed two of Yang Mi’s dramas before, none of her dramas after Legend of Fuyao have really caught my interest. I don’t really have a bias when it comes to actors. Having a favourite actor doesn’t mean I’ll automatically love everything they do. If the story looks interesting, why not give it a try? Even if I’m not a fan of the cast, I’ll still watch it if the drama itself catches my attention. Somehow, I can start a drama without really liking the actor and end up loving the drama as long as the story is good
