I'm gonna be honest, I'm getting tired. I was really enjoying this but I find myself dragging my feet when it comes to the new episodes. Handsome Tian Yao with his two facial expressions, Yan Hui who's supposed to be smart (and I was hoping a more rational character), Xiao Sheng who fell for YH out of no where and is now getting on my nerves. I can't count the amount of sighing I've been doing lately. I don't want to drop it cuz I'm more than halfway through but oh my it's exhausting.
Exactly no romance was promised, I don't know why people r expecting romance, if u ask me ,it not needed in this…
I agree with you. Plus at this stage of the drama, it'd be kinda out of character for them to get in a relationship. I won 't be surprised if later it does become a plot point tho
I'm sorry but it's so funny to me watching people be disappointed and get upset with the plot when romance wasn't even promised. Ideally I would've loved to see them together but I feel like some of you think they NEED to be together. It's okay for two people of the opposite gender to be just friends :D
I was already watching at 2x speed but I might have to push it to 3x just to get through it which makes me sad cuz I was really enjoying it and idk it just... 🙁
*marking this as a spoiler cuz it’s unnecessarily long*
Y’all know I love complaining so here we go. Let’s start off with the development of Liang Tao x Jiao Jiao and the Luo Nian x Zhang Yan’s relationships. I was very disappointed by how rushed LT and JJ’s felt. we saw them interact a few times but the jump to them dating, getting married, living together and BEING PREGNANT was just insane. I feel like the development of their relationship was a lot of tell and no show. I really wanted to see them gradually fall for each other etc etc but what we got was just throw them into the episode when you need a filler. For LN and ZY, it’s the opposite. the tension and possibility was THERE and it was barely explored. even at the end, we didn’t get anything truly official. there’s a lot of screen time that could’ve been allotted to them and their growth cuz tbh I found them to be the most interesting couple.

there was no need for SC to go abroad and there was no need for that time skip if it wasn’t gonna have an important change. like genuinely what did him going abroad do when we didn’t even get to see the results

Was Jiao Jiao’s dad supposed to have a redemption arc? Did anyone actually care about his rivalry with that other guy? No. No. No. so why are they getting screentime that could be used for the side couple or even Chen Zhe and Dai Yi🙄

Now that it’s over I can finally say that YA did not sell her love for SC the way he did for her. idk what it is, maybe it’s just me, but he fr seemed in love with her while she kinda gave nothing? especially during the “sex” scene yo I was screaming cuz it was so embarrassing😭😭 anws this was my first work of hers and I might tune in to another cuz I do think she might be a good actress
—
let me stop before I find more things to complain about lol. maybe I’m the problem tho because they started losing me around 2/3 in which seems to be the trend for dramas these days. the initial episodes will be fun and hook you in then they start dragging, having unnecessary plot lines etc etc. [i.e. Royal Rumours, Romance of a Twin Flower, The Forbidden Flower, dare I say even The Starry Love]

All in all, I give this an 8 cuz I did have a lot of fun in the beginning. I did enjoy the friendships, dynamics and lessons throughout the drama <3
I’m sure this was asked somewhere but should we add a supernatural tag here? The FL manifests clothes when she…
LMAOO I bring this up every episode cuz sometimes she'll take a taxi and come out with no phone, no wallet like.. how are you paying the fare? I started rationalizing and telling myself that she's been buying clothes at the shops in the village
