Novel wise he redeems himself a bit, so don't give up all hope!

Tencent has this, followed by moonlit reunion, then possibly journey of legend after. Crazy lineup for Tencent ngl. Looking forward to seeing if this can hit 30k index this weekend before Moonlit reunion premieres. If the romance 'officially' starts this weekend, with hopefully a first kiss (not counting underwater) could really be possible, although difficult due to it being on so many different platforms. 27k already a pretty impressive achievement.

I think Rundu arc might have been swapped around or combined with another arc. In ep 22 preview, I think the women ML talks to that exposes Fl's identity is that old courtesan friend from the novel. Remember, in the novel him and a group of old friends run in to an old courtesan friend, and she mentions how He Yan was dressed as man back in their academy days. Also in the novel this is when he sends his subordinate to investigate He Ru Fei. However, this is meant to happen after the Rundu arc. So either they will somehow fit the Rundu arc into ep 20 and 21, or maybe it's been re-arranged or possibly even combined with the jiyang arc. Wait and see I guess, just all guesses right now.

I never thought about how it makes her achievements tied to the Xiao family, true maybe they should have kept it separate or at least given us more flashback of her rising up the ranks showing it was her one effort. I agree about the conflict involving dad's death, I think it was unnecessary.

Yeh I agree that would make sense, feel like the order is better, as long as they don't make him angry or whatever at her for too long.

Honestly, I don't mind them switching the arcs a little, having ML find out the truth about FL before any official confession or marriage etc, I like it better in that order. However, I do hope they don't make any misunderstanding go for ages, seems like it won't though, fingers crossed.

yes

In the novel he does actually like her, he confessing later and is rejected, but moves on after, isn't the obsessive type. I agree though he plays the gray type character so well though, can hardly tell what he's thinking.

Oh true that would be a nice twist, maybe why he cares so much for him , either way someone's brother is definitely involved 😂

I feel like it could be Bei Ming's brother

Same, honestly he has a lot of good dramas coming now, this, shadow love, filming mo li which has like a S+ budget. So happy for him. Personally, I don't watch many short drama's as I just prefer longer dramas, but familiar stranger hooked me real fast!

Familiar stranger such a hidden gem of a short drama so good

Honestly, there's something about the overhead shot of the boat scene ending ep 17. So nice. The darker tones of the water, boat, pier and buildings, along with the two lying on the boat and the fireflies or whatever they are glowing, looks so nice. The overhead shot was just so well done, something just so satisfying about it.

Yeh I 100% agree, finger crossed stays the same, should happen soonish so we'll see

Same prefer not to fight, just enjoy having discussion with everyone about dramas, but just don't like when someone is attacked for no reason

Hahaha welcome! I agree, whenever someone disagrees with him, he always says it's my opinion, I can say what I want. Which is true and fair. But then he attacks Ura for saying what she wants, can't have it both ways.

100% agree, unfortunately the toxic guy from before blocked me when he was called out by a bunch of people for being hypocritical and being rude. Some people like the attention. Hope your message gets across. Different opinions are fine and good but attacking others for them is not.

Don't worry about him, I said something similar to you in the comments below and he got offended as well. Everyone is free to comment what they like, he always says "I can comment what I want, it's my opinion", yet continually tells people to not comment things.

Look at you changing the topic, when you comment something that people disagree with you always say, you can't tell me what to do, I can comment what I want. You said it down below many times, so why are you trying to tell this person what they can and can't comment. Don't be a hypocrite.

Look at you getting offended. You're really a hypocrite. When you comment something and people disagree you always say you can comment what you want and it's your own opinion, and no one can tell you what to do. Said it many times below, Yet here you are telling this person what they can and can't suggest. Don't be a hypocrite. Just like you, she can suggest and comment whatever she wants.
