Yes, the similarities are there!!!!However, did you read the novel? When I tried to read the novel in English…
I actually haven't read the novel besides looking at Ch.1 so I'm not sure about it. I've heard the novel is way different from the drama so maybe she'll be accepting in here? π€π€
HAHA! That's my exact thoughts. I was dying in October thinking how the rest of the year would go and here we are getting hit left and right like in the summer. I'm trying to start OFL and LIP but haven't gotten there yet but if my other modern dramas air too, I'm done for.
I'll share some more thoughts on the latest episodes later but I just wanted to point out how similar Jiang Hu and Xu Si's mom are. Both ladies look towards nostalgia and EQ when it comes to business. On top of that, they love to play tricks/act for Xu Si's attention. ππ I think they'll be getting a long quite well (hopefully). How will you deal with a double team, Xu Si?
I thought it was just me. I have yet to peek at the other dramas I promised myself to check out. This one took me by surprise and is the 1st thing I'll watch in the mornings.
I love that we're getting more discussions here! This one is grabbing my full attention. And per the emoji's on…
ZY says she over heard Xu Si mention that he wanted to take Jiang Hu's right to manage Teng Yue. I know they made the 49-51% deal but is this the angst we're preparing for? He told his assistant that he wanted to revive Tengyue not destroy it. Or am I just not understanding the wording lol. Whatever his plans, I can clealry see why Jiang Hu will get super upset at him later from what I saw in the trailers. This will be quite an interesting aspect to look forward to.
I love that we're getting more discussions here! This one is grabbing my full attention. And per the emoji's on tomorrow's episode, I was expecting a cute moment but it don't look like it from the previews. These latest 2 episodes were packed with such great insights on being emotional vs. intellectual. But did anyone catch what Zhaoyang said to Yang Jian when they were discussing about Jiang Hu. I'll put it the spoiler below.
That's a great way to put it. I know he's starting to change but he's still deeply rooted with his business ideologies. And I just don't think he'll be able to let it go that easily. Like you mentioned above, it already struck me when Zhaoyang asked him about judging a person's value. His answer was quite robotic imo. Not everything has to be logical.
Yeah, it's still a long way to go. We're not even halfway into the story yet. At least he's giving us a heads…
I was expecting angst but the way he describes it makes me more interested on how escalated things will get. I'm just glad this isn't some Xianxia where 1 of them will die and the other waits thousands of years for a return haha.
I don't mind me some angst and I never usually say it but I'm actually ready for it too! Haha. This business side of things makes the angst interesting to look forward to.
Thank you for the update!!! I should check the calendar symbols again.
No problem! I went back to look too. It seems like we'll be getting most of the angst towards the end of the show with the little heart break symbol on Ep.32/33 day. Given that there's 40 episodes, I think that's ample time to patch/ wrap things up clearly.
