I agree. It's not about including an 18+ scene. They could've included just a few more meaningful looks, a couple of good hugs, a delicate amount of skinship, no kisses necessary. They way they avoid intimacy at all cost in this movie is just too blatantly discriminatory.

They didn't even have too kiss. A couple of meaningful hugs would have sufficed but they seemed repelled by the idea of touching each other in any capacity.

I loved the ending but the chemistry between the leads was just gone in this film. They felt like strangers. I get that the actors didn't feel comfortable kissing on the lips but there are so many other ways to relay intimacy. A tight hug, a kiss on the cheek, a kiss on the forehead, caressing the face. These are things that any good actor should be able to do, no matter who they're acting partner is. It's about showing the characters' emotions.

Just the first one was a 'fish' kiss. The rest were pretty good.

It's one of the few C-dramas I was not tempted to drop halfway because it was becoming stale, this managed to keep me interested all the way to the current episode.

It was indeed a beautiful scene.

Does anybody know/recognize the name of the instrumental song played during episode 11 when Yucheng is talking to Luo Na in front of her room?

Holly cow, episode 20 was certainly something. I was not expecting this from a C-drama, it was a lovely surprise.

Episodes 7-11 were so annoying that I've lost all interest in finishing this. It started out so well, why? I'd much rather follow a really slow-burn romance, than display feeling early on and then have misunderstandings, miscommunication, drama, and fights that are being dragged out episode after episode.

P.S. It got better again after episode 12, phew.

The actress playing the mom is 36 years old while the actress playing the FL is 32. Gina is really beautiful but she does not look 28. She doesn't even look her age but rather 37+. It's still a great drama but I also noticed that the mom looks younger than the FL and it makes things a little off.

I mean, he's 20. He acts his age, it's perfectly normal.

Your partner(s) must treat your pretty poorly, huh? Well, if it makes you happy, keep at it!

Indeed. 'Check Out' left me traumatized haha.

Maybe not as bad as 'Check Out' but almost, at least for me.

Don't come at me become you're attracted to fossils or you're a fossil that likes them younger and you're in favor of 30+ years age gaps.

By all standards, people in their 20s dating somebody's grandpa/grandma is pretty weird.

You kept denying in the comments that there's literature and studies on needs and I set the record straight. But sure, you do you, girl/m'am/sir.

This is in the same league as 'Check Out': really bad writing, poor acting, and terrible sex scenes. Not to mention they start their 'relationship' from their drinks being spiked with a date rape drug. People have been hyping this up so hard and it was an utter disappointment. But the OST is really good, at least I got that out of it.

I also found it boring. And there's no chemistry between the leads.

I'm only actually watching like 1% of them. I've added them to 'Currently watching' to narrow down the watch-list because the 'Plan to Watch' is already huge. 😅

I'm just 10 minutes in and I utterly hate their mom. Horrible parent alert!

Dramas in general make getting dumped stupid and pathetic but in real life break-ups are a part of life, they are sad but things that just happen and people who go through them are not pathetic, they just were in the wrong relationship.

Also, C-dramas in general make the FL look weak, pathetic, and generally stupid. They are bad at their job, or always struggle financially, or are bad at school, behave like children, people mistreat them but they have a heart of gold and are brave. Or they occasionally throw in the opposite: the career woman who doesn't have time to date or has been in most soulless long distance relationship for past 10 years. There's rarely a middle ground.

It took me years to get used to this to be able to enjoy some of the C-dramas despite rolling my eyes at how the FL are portrayed.
