I love the grandpa for once. He said something that stuck with me — “You tend to see who people really are…
Yeh I appreciate grandpa saying that, so true as well. At least he's trying to do better now and definitely looking forward to the downfall of the cousin
Pretty much, next ep he will take some time off for work as he needs to digest everything that happened. He will write FL a letter, in it he will tell her about how he fell for her, the first time he saw her, and how he moved jobs to be close to her and how he held a grudge, all his past emotions pretty much. It's after reading that letter FL will be moved even more and call ML and asks him to meet her in wuxi, she will ask him to walk the plum blossoms together like he initially thought they would and its where they will become official. So the letter lets FL truly know how long ML has liked her and all that stuff, its a really emotional letter but also sad as ML talks about how he misunderstood her and his grudge and all that also.
After the misunderstanding was cleared, it was so sad how ML couldn't even face FL. Whole drive home and when he dropped her off, never once looked at her, I feel so sad for him, he feels so guilty. Help such a deep grudge for so long and on the wrong person the whole time.
Lowkey maybe just me, but honestly doesn't have much to be guilty for, at most he just gave her extra work and made her work over time which honestly isn't too bad and lets be real, most newbies at a new job get extra work anyway. Tomorrow ep 23 with the letter going to be rough but at least we know ep 24 will be full of happiness.
In ep 22 when FL's father says you are my biological daughter, and FL comes right back with my mum has legal custody of me, damn that was a burn. FL can be really lethal when she wants to be and I love it
Adding to my comment before about how Gu man as screen writer and original author made some enchantments to the drama compared to the novel. Although it hasn't happened yet, you can see in the ep 26 preview, as FL approaches ML after he was disrespected by the trashy heir/cousin and some people were talking bad about ML, FL's uncle looks on with a smile, looking proud of FL.
In the novel, FL's family didn't know FL was with ML or he was chasing her yet, so in the novel uncle was shocked that FL approached ML at the party and was a little hesitant with worry about how ML's status in his family might effect FL and was a little against FL being with ML. I really like the change of seeing uncle here looking proudly and smiling as FL approaches ML regardless of the gossip. This again builds of the ski arc and shows how some slight changes have been made to enhance the drama compared to the novel, while still keeping the major plot points.
couldn't agree more. these are the writers I'll definitely be looking out for in their future dramas. often times…
I agree completely, so often when the cdrama changes stuff from the novel it gets worse and the changes make the drama feel like something completely different. But not here, the drama enhances the novel and makes improvements without changing too much, you explained it really well.
I loved the ski arc even more because it actually showed NXG slowly and naturally falling in love with LYS. We…
100% agree, the ski arc really showed FL's emotions changing in so many different scenes, we really got to see her falling for ML, so when she asks him to date later makes it flow better
From memory there was no ski arc in the novel but I really loved the inclusion. Thats what's great when the screen writer and the novelist are the same person and they're good at both and they know what they're doing. We've had more scenes with FL's mother, ML's mother and step father and FL's cousin, uncle and aunties and all of it has been great. Overall a really great arc that was added to the drama that I really enjoy.
In the novel from what I remember, FL never met ML's mother (it was planned at the end), and the two mothers never met. So really glad they added this, great improvement from the novel I think. I love how they have mostly followed the novel pretty closely especially with the major story points, but have made a few improvements here and there.
A little callback too ep 20 real quick, I love how when FL rushed to the hospital to see ML, she didn't even notice 2ML for the longest time, really shows how she has completely moved on. Before just 2ML's presence there would effect her either making her focus on him or try not to focus on him, but now she didn't even realize he was there for a while, love the change.
Also we see recently how FL has slowly become more in-tuned with ML's feelings, realizing when he's done about stuff like not being a surgeon anymore. Before it was always ML making FL feel better, but now in this ski trip we see how FL has been the one also making ML feel better when. Love the equal, balanced relationship they have a true relationship even if they're not official yet.
Love the eps, love the slow burn romance, something about Gu Man's romances just hit different, no matter what nonsense is around with a trashy father or 2ML, the central romance always makes you feel warm and cute, a little happy space for us all. Plus ML and FL play their roles perfectly.
As for trashy father, fake daughter and all that we see in 22 and more in 23, hate them all but I couldn't care less, we're all here for ML and FL anyway, hope karma gets them all of them but whatever, we know our ML and FL get their happy ending and thats what matters.
They become official in ep 24, you can see in preview she says I will always be with you from now and theres spoiler…
Hahaha honestly I agree, they've gone on like a 100 non-date dates already, just haven't made it official, but they've been pretty much dating, been so cute, maybe thats why previews don't seem different because they're just doing the same thing except they're official haha
Who watched the teaser for eps 23-26?? The leads interaction don't look like they're in a relationship/dating...😶😶🥲🥲🙃
They become official in ep 24, you can see in preview she says I will always be with you from now and theres spoiler clips showing more of this convo and she asks him to date properly and he agrees and they hug and in 25 they're very cute in the preview, especially in the car scene. Also remember they both haven't ever dated before so its all new to them.
I haven’t actually seen this one yet. I, too, would like to find out :)
Yeh thats fair enough sometimes I'm the same want to watch a particular actor or actress but their other cdramas just aren't my cup of tea which is ok.
Btw though in case you didn't know, he's got two currently airing dramas, unclouded soul and glory. I haven't started them yet but plan to watch both once more eps are out, especially glory seems like it could be pretty good.
OMG so much complaining what dramas are you talking about on the list? Name them or just stop complaining, if…
I understand, I do think the above commenter took it too far being a bit rude/making it personal no need for that. Happy to debate and exchange opinions as long as it's done respectfully, differences of opinion are always bound to happen no problems with that. Glad to have exchanged opinions with you, hope you enjoy your future drama viewing.
