Try Goodbye My Princess, if you like the actress. In my opinion GMP is one of the best Chinese dramas out there.
First of all, I suggest watching the director' cut because the experience is better. Secondly, GMP is a mature story. It's not fluffy and the characters are intentionally flawed. If you go in expecting polite romance, you will be disappointed. In my opinion, chengyin is one of the most interesting characters I have watched. Flaws and all. The romance is an excuse to tell the story. I don’t know what to say, just that gmp is not a show that follows normal formulas for historical romance. None of the male partners are ideal man you can swoon over. That's just not the point of the story. But yes, FL is amazing. She's very good.
Oh, I saw it on Netflix early this week and already marked it for this weekend :)I love Wendy, and I hope this…
Lol, trust me, when you have to do it, it's a little less fun! Yeah, it's a very well made movie, even sans hints. It's just totally worth a watch, or two.

Lol! It's my job to analyze fictional works so I'm pretty confident in my subtext-reading skills! Sorry! I just finished watching it and got really hyped about it.
I think the point was that they stayed friends and were still in contact with each other? I doubt anyone could recognize someone in that huge crowd! I interpreted the fact that she attended the concert as showing that they stayed friends.

Yeah! the *hint hint* was very well done! I'm actually super impressed by the film. It was very good. If all REDACTED shows could reach the same level of subtext, then life would be perfect.

What a disappointing reaction from Chinese viewers. I can't imagine just wanting a story given to me on a silver platter with no complexity. I mean, half the fun is to think when you watch the movie and figure things out for yourself. Staying strictly in one genre or another and generating conventional, repetitive teen romances, is so boring and uninspired. I personally loved how the movie challenges the viewer to at least try a little to grasp an interesting concept.
He was returning/ gifting her the kiss she wanted in the club? Same here.. my heart ached for many months .. can…
Aw, I was so into the story and plot that I didn't even register this was his first kiss until a couple of minutes later and then I suddenly just went, WAIT! OMG! A KISS! A REAL KISS! lol
They would say that because I don't think they could say it was a guy, straight up. and they obviously wouldn't want to lie and say it's a woman. There's a huge hint in the movie. When they see Ming's photo, Chen Chen looks shocked and like she suddenly realized something. Then Zheng Yu Xing says "now you owe me a secret" which refers to their past conversation about sharing a secret with each other. We can deduce from this part that Ming is a guy and his mere identity is a secret that they must keep.

It's a very nuanced story with a mature ending. I personally think the ending is appropriate for the story. The beauty of goodbye my princess is that it's so good that when you watch the happy parts you forget the sad things. It's definitely not your typical historical romance at all. It needs a new perspective. I think it's worth a watch anyway. Tragedy and all. It's too good to give up on.
Ok, ok so the old driver is the grand advisor!!!!!! Is Mei Xing the monk?🤔hmmm
Yeah...I figured the Mei Xing thing out soon after posting this and I guess I felt it before too but I was just throwing hints at the universe that I don't want him to be THAT guy. This guy is sort of cute but I have serious grudge against his historical counterpart. Confirmed or not, I can't help to try and find everyone though! It just warms my heart to think the people around them are still there.
