Yes you are right about my age group and also I am a guy - so I am not sure if that makes a difference as well. I like it that struggles are real, something most of the people are facing in the real life - aging parents, job stability etc. and the they not presented in a overbearing way. Many other dramas with the usual dramatic challenges of arranged marriages, bad blood between the family etc... Don't think many of us can ever experience that no matter what age group. You know another difference that a MDLer that I chat a lot with mentioned? - there is no second CP so far which I like as well. Why must the besties form a second CP etc? Based on their age group of the leads, peers should have already gotten married, or not attached due to some reason(s).

One thing I do not enjoy so much though is the focus on the Aerospace - it took up more than 1 episode between ep. 9-10. Not sure if it is because it coincides with China's space programme...

I won't compare this to FIYS or even LS as they are all quite different.

So far I have rewatched YAMG and watched the trailers to know most of what is going to happen. I haven't done this since L&R. :)

Yes I watched FIYS. I'll say it is quite different on many aspects just because YAMG is quite different from many dramas - especially the ML who is flawed in a more "realistic" way, I am comparing this to dramas of a similar genre (and not the slice of life type). ML in FIYS is almost perfect and the FL is likeable in a different way as compared to the one in YAMG. FIYS is really focused on the issues faced by professional gamers including the romance and in YAMG I am say the gaming part is just an important catalyst? I like both MLs and I prefer the FL in YAMG - they are both straightforward ladies but QJJ won me over with her EQ, who doesn't like her? I like FIYS for the witty dialogues and the romance part is more swoon-worthy. I really love YAMG for the realistic development, subtle interaction between the leads but makes me root for them. I re-watched YAMG just to get to make sure I don't miss out some of the details (if you get what I mean).

Thanks! I will wait for the ratings even though HYX is in it.

Judging from the ratings here, it should do at least a 8.7-8.8 like you say. At least on par with FIYS.

I think they are still too small here in MDL to do any damage for the actors to notice. Just that it is a shame if ppl here decided not to watch the drama because of them.

When was this filmed/produced? Looks like sometime back? ML in trailer, I prefer his look in "In a class of her own"...

Judy seems to be everywhere nowadays LOL.

I think some of them are fans of LS? Suddenly many reviews of that one popping up - or they started watching that because of YAMG. I think they are very different though some may think otherwise.

She seems and probably is really different from the the character Bei Wei Wei she played... Sad but it happened so guess we won't be seeing her again.

Wow, I thought it was just 3 of them - the effect is so big? Anyway in Qianxun the ratings is 4.8/5.0 which is super high. That is why I trust the ratings there more than here. That being say, I will do my part now to help it recover bit here (I have only one account).

Goodbye Bei Wei Wei, Halo Qiao Jing Jing!

Thanks for the heads up! That sounds really confusing... the plot is like this Korean drama. Such plot requires really good execution if not any loopholes etc will seem very obvious. Reminded me of this drama "consummation" which I drop as it became too much unless there is something else that attracts you.

Guess this is very important to me so I won't venture into it.

Thanks again. :)

Caught the first 2 rather short episodes last night, liking how the story is developing so far.

While I like Zhang Yuxi, I have to agree with you on the part of comparing her with the other actresses. Probably shouldn't compare or if need be make sure there are stats to substantiate?

Thanks for the heads up. I see the rating falling further in Qianxun...

I waited to watch this but decided not to after seeing the ratings on Qianxun... what made u drop it?

Thanks and I am so happy to share! I saw the lyrics in the video and it looked more like a direct translation... so I wrote something that I thought was closer to what the lyrics meant. :)

Yeah when I saw the lyrics on screen, I was like "awwww....".

And the song ended with "Every second I am hoping to be free of all my worries and have a future together with you."

Think he/she meant the drama will melt you like wax.

I reckoned... quite sad that I am dropping so many dramas nowsdays...
