Essentially, ML's family owns the company called Shengyuan. FL's family owns company called Yuancheng. The company FL and ML work out now is called Shuangyaun, ML's family company owns 51%, FL's family company owns 49%, so the company is owned by them both.

I think they don't know her because technically, her father doesn't own the company she works at now, but his company owns it. So they probably just know his companies name not necessarily his name, at least that just how I interpret it.

ML and FL just went on the best non-date, date ever. Gaming at the arcade, a movie and then a beautiful nighttime view in a high rise. FL texting him asking if he's home after, then breakfast together in the morning. Call it want you want, but that was their first date.

Oh nice, love all three of those American shows, great shows, especially Chicago PD for me, love Hank Voight.

Welcome back to cdrama world, I'll just reply to your below comment here. Glad you're enjoying it, same here, I read the novel and was looking forward to it greatly and so far living up to expectations but I guess thats what you get when you have the screen writer also be the novel writer, plus Gu Man is very good at romance cdramas.

Hey Kish, nice seeing you here as well, been a while!

Looking forward to reading your comments on the show as well! Hope you're enjoying it so far.

I love the snow scene where ML comes and grabs FL's hand while the annoying Ye Rong is around being pretentious to FL with 2ML doing nothing. You know, maybe I'm reading too much into this, but ML takes two steps at a time like he can't wait to go to her, and she comes running over. Maybe unconsciously, without realizing, she already feels like ML is her safe space, her comfort zone.

Also 2ML is stuck on the top step, half his foot over the edge. A perfect metaphor for him, always stuck on the edge but unwilling to take that final leap, that final step over the edge and towards FL. And in the end, it's that insecurity and indecisiveness that costs him FL, in comparison to ML's complete willingness to walk towards FL , two steps at a time, no matter what.

And the OST is perfect.

I agree with @DramaKC123. Everyone's preferences are different. This is a list for no breakups or misunderstandings and happy endings. Whether a couple gets together early or later does not really matter for this list. In my opinion chemistry plays a way larger part than when they officially get together. Of course, I prefer when couples don't get together too late, earlier is better for my preference. But if they have great or sizzling chemistry, where you feel the tension, you feel the romance, you feel them falling for each other, it does not matter to me when they get together. For me chemistry is way more important. I think DramaKC123 said it best romance is much more than just being an official couple. Sometimes you already know the ML and FL are ride or die for each other without them confirming they are a couple yet.

Also let's remember this list is for everyone, not just one persons preference. Just because someone prefer something, does not mean everyone else prefers the same. There might be people out there that like romance dramas where the couple only get together later in the drama giving viewers a final climax after watching the journey of the couple falling in love. Just because someone doesn't like something, does not mean it does not deserve to be on the list. Romance in dramas starts way before the ML and FL become an official couple. There will be some dramas on this list that you or I may not like, but thats ok, this list is for everyone not just matching a single persons preferences. As long as there is no breakup or misunderstanding and a happy ending, it fits the list.

100% can't wait to see more

Hahaha ikr, so slick and the dialogue is so cute

A couple cute clips from ep 10 or 11 I think, some flirting between ML and FL

Just wanted to say I love this list, I frequently comment on here to share dramas that I believe fit this list with others looking for the same. Thanks to @MKB for doing a great job creating and maintaining the list, and I also thank everyone else that comments suggestions and adds to the list. So many cdramas, kdramas and jdramas I have thoroughly enjoyed I only learnt about or watched because of this list, especially when I first started watching cdramas and kdramas especially. It's the only list on MDL I continue coming back to and hope it continues to grow with each new drama that releases and fits on the list!

They got no karma unfortunately, but they aren't too annoying, they barely make an appearance, especially the mistress and fake daughter, they are like hardly seen at all. Father is around a bit more especially after when ML and FL get together, but it's not too bad, he doesn't get much time in the story either the three of them aren't too annoying in the plot.

Yeh not her fault at all. In novel, it wasn't actually her who invited him, he thought it was. We find out later, you know how her parents are divorced, the women her father says he is 'taking' care of, pretty much his girlfriend, has a daughter, who likes to go around saying she is the daughter of Nie Chenguang 9(Fl's dad) to show off, even when she's not really. So that fake daughter was actually the one that saw and liked ML and asked him out, but ML thought it was FL as FL is Nie Chenguangs actual daughter. So it's a massive misunderstanding that gets cleared later. So actually its a massive misunderstanding and really not her fault at all.

He starts falling for her before he finds out, but then finds out later and thats what makes him like confess and makes him certain. But he's already forgiven her and fallen or her before he finds out.

The preview for ep 10 is beautiful, I can't wait, sticking it to that annoying Ye Rong, she can have 2ML, FL got someone better.

I can share a spoiler for the novel if you want, but its so far based on the drama it's not so much he hold her responsible for the accident, but more he doesn't like that she forgot him and ignored him after the accident. When she said, who are you, we've never met, that made him angry. Can share a spoiler for the novel if you want though, its more complicated then it seems.

She rejects him immediately. FL tells him, I confessed to you in college and messaged you my feelings, you never replied so I am guilt free, I have moved on and she says how much she loves and wants to marry ML and is sure he is the one for her, no need to worry there is a love triangle but once ML and FL are together, they are committed as can be.

2ML does not become obsessed though, not seen often, once he confesses and she rejects him, he's pretty much done with. Will take bit of time for ML and FL to get together, first ML will confess, she will reject saying she hasn't completely moved on yet, he will understand and wait, then. little after FL will confess and ask ML to date once she is sure of her feelings for him.

Yeh in web novel its really not a romance, and she barely appears throughout unfortunately. Yeh the season 2 arc she doesn't appear at all until he returns. Thanks for the article!

Oh nice didn't know those fun facts about those crossovers, love to see it.

Hahaha yeh unfortunately for Gina even in fantasy fanfic nothing beats Dilraba and YY's romance haha

If you see at the start of ep 1, he saw her at the party they were both at and kind of liked her at first sight, also in the novel she does something at the party which catches his attention and so he becomes interested in her, thus agreeing to go on the date.
