I skipped all his scenes...find none of them interesting

Wow I am glad that doesn't apply here in North America

I am struggling with this story with the dad having gastric cancer but being lied that his surgery is for gastric ulcer. That is completely illegal and illogical! A patient has to be given complete informed consent on their condition and all treatment/surgical options! How is it possible they can lie about that?? It makes no sense and it's really ruining the storyline at the moment for me. I can imagine any health professional watching this is probably jumping out of their seats because it is 100% "doing harm" to a patient when they are signing a consent for something they are unaware of. The story here is 0/10! But I like Xiao Zhan's acting so far. I do find it unbelievable that YZ is portraying a 20 year old lady in college. She looks youthful but not young enough for this role. I feel they casted her moreso because she is YZ and rhey couldn't bypass the op of having her and XZ collaborate. Also her emotional intelligence is far too mature to be believable. She acts as XZ's trauma therapist almost which I find awfully strange. I don't know if this story is based on a novel but there are so many errors with the hospital protocols, I am surprised they didn't correct these especially with such famous lead actors. I am just imagining if this happened in real life, what lawsuits this hospital and Dr. Gu would be facing. So just my frustration with the story line...I am going to continue although I am not a XZ fan but his acting is quite good so far. I will try to ignore all the nonsensical plot but I hope this arc about the dad is over soon.

You know this is going to be good as it's the same director as Ashes of Love and A Long Ballad!

I am over halfway and it's been very difficult watching this. The story is so uninteresting, so I have it on as background. I genuinely feel bad for the actors, I can tell they are trying so hard to put emotions to the lines but the script is to bad, it doesn't even make sense half the time. They have to act like there's so much angst and anguish when there's so little substance to the story and the lines they are saying. The FL really isn't great at acting, I am surprised she got casted as the FL. She doesn't have much chemistry with the ML. Allen Ren did the best he could but the love story had no build up, no climax. It was sooo flat. This kind of reminds me of Legend of Fei with the story being very boring and uninteresting but in LoF, there were lots of sparks between the FL and ML. Here....it's just dull but I am a fan of Allen Ren so I want to support his work but I am going to fast forward and skip to get to the end.

I totally agree, I actually like this more than FAE. There were many more sweet moments in this show and the plot is very interesting.

How come so many episodes got released today?? ☺️

Thank you both!

Do you know if the novel is available in English online?

I just finished the drama and thankfully Forever and Ever just got released to help me recover from the very traumatizing ending. I expected a sad ending but this was just too gory and disturbing for me!! 6 hours?! Did they have to do that? It went from what I thought would be a tragic romance to a horror movie in the last episode. I cannot accept the ending of ZSC...unlike many people who have been bawling, I feel disturbed. All I can think about is what ZSC went through and it's overshadowing all of the very enjoyable episodes prior...not sure if anyone feels the same. My heart needs some healing.

I find the boss so creepy...on ep 19

What an epic ending! Wow, I really enjoyed this show and I think this is one of the few dramas with an ending that does it justice. So many Chinese dramas have bad endings but the fight scenes and all the blood spitting and the unexpected happy ending was very satisfying in this finale!

Qin Lan's mom is scary in this show lol

In contrast with many others here, I am really enjoying the story of the FL and ML. I am on ep 14 and the first life was so heart-wrenching, I am glad the second life so far has been more comical and light-hearted which is a good contrast to the first life. I like the SL couple also and find the scenes with the two male leads so amusing and awesome. It took a while to get use to Dylan's eyes which just look very fatigued like he is lacking life and lustre but I wonder if it's because he is completely pasty white from hair to makeup. He also looks like he has eyebags like he hasn't slept for a long time but I think I have finally gotten use to it. I think the chemistry between him and the FL is there, is not as strong as like The Long Ballad or Ashes of Love but I think it's strong enough to make it believable. I also don't find their scenes boring but there are too many flashbacks but I really hope for a happy ending!

Thank you for your thorough response! I will check out some od those dramas.

What other great dramas have you been watching?

Wow thanks for sharing! This is awesome. I can't stand some fmv that use cheesy music or music from other dramas, it's so distracting. This is great that it's from the actual drama!

My favorite scenes so far are 1) when A Sun was smiling over CG's bandaging of his wounds 2) when CG got her period 3) when A Sun's mom died 4) daggers from A Sun when CG was chatting it up with WSY in Changan

So the dreaded weekend wait has arrived....I am thrilled it's the weekend and I rarely look forward to Monday except this week. I want to watch the last 7 episodes because TLB is consuming my life lol. As much as I hate seeing it end, I do need to move on with my life. Now...I'd love to hear what everyone's favorite scene(s) are! There are so many for me :)

Is it just me who loves the daggers coming from A Sun's eyes in ep 39 when CG is talking to WSY? lol!
