I think this was actually a really interesting drama. The characters have growth, be it good or bad. The emphasis on decisions you make in life and the things you prioritize is really emphasized here, and I really think that made this drama feel fuller. No one was perfect in this drama, everyone had their downs and ups, and everything in between. I held off at episode 44 for a while, and just came back to finish it. I don't regret. Every character is true to their nature, and finds their own way. Some end up in some place we'd all rather not be, but everything is realistic with a slice of optimism.
enjoyed the drama, BUT......So did anyone get goosebumps when they found out that Cheng Yin was dead and Wu Yan…
I had a theory that he was doing that whole routine for her, not so much for himself. Just hat she didn't notice as she herself had Cheng Yin still alive in her mind. I think there is some connections to be made between him getting revealed to be Yi Jin, and her cramps and Cheng Yin. The fear that people may come to disturb their peace and happiness, and her willing and wanting to close the curtains on her own. I feel the closing of the curtains can be seen as she doesn't want anyone to disturb her security she has found through love and him, and/or as her trying to stabilize the undoing of her mental stability. Think about it, whenever she panics or shocked, she begins to recall Cheng Yin, and what happened. But When she hears her saying goodbye as she goes in and out of surgery, this could be her finally feeling secure enough because of his daily rituals and their love together that she can finally acknowledge that Cheng Yin has left. Thus the importance of hearing her say goodbye.
Er this is all me thinking...idk if this is legit lol.
Hahaha I've noticed this a lot with Chinese actress, not just Wan Peng. I think maybe it's a cultural thing? Maybe…
Maybe it's just individuals not knowing how to kiss *looks at Sweet Tooth and Timeless Love* WEW. dang they were kissing, they were rolling, I was like half of me amittofo, half of me like *stares at screen intensely*
I'm lookin at that poster, and as someone who has former classmates who went into that hell, I mean major....if this doesn't show the amount of work and lack of sleep they get....wew...anticipate the reactions
I agree with you! You know, I'm not into fan culture, so I didn't come to this drama because I was invested in…
I wasn't expecting such a side of him, and honestly I feel that YangYang is revealing a face of him he probably didn't want to show. People say he's oily, I think he's showing a defensive side. This is a start of more sides of him being revealed perhaps.
I've seen some commentary on Chinese platforms, and there's a comparison between his role as Yu Tu with Xiao Nai. But if you really watch closely at his performance, he really conveys the character differently. Every slight change in expression shows his character's inner thoughts and feelings.
Here's some things I really wanted to bring your attention to: He's insecure. He chased his dream, only to be greeted by a low salary that can't even pay for his parents to live a better life. He had such a high IQ, was such a star student, but in the end he's making less than his former peers. This becomes more and more etched into him even in the first 16 episodes. You see him feeling out of it, feeling like the honor he gets when he mentions his occupation vs the compensations and material wealth he has makes him inferior to others. He loves Jing Jing, but feels like he has to appear flawless. He sees her everywhere, she makes a lot of money, yet he feels like he can't offer her or his own parents anything. He thought his parents both supported his career, but he learns that his dad didn't support it, due to the lack of money.
And so, the times we see him being "too handsome" as one of the video comment (idk how to say it) videos was saying, he's PURPOSELY trying to be perfect. He wants to look perfect, he wants to look confident, he's trying to protect himself while guising the imperfections and insecurity in himself. In episodes 13-16, we really see it eat into him.
Does anyone else ever see him in posters for dramas etc. and smile thinking of his portrayal of Shi fen? He and Sun Qian were the characters themselves in the flesh.
