Chen Fei Yu's upcoming drama and movie - both are sad ending? How in the world he is selecting such scripts. He just turned 26 and he doesn't need to select such deep, sad drama stories.
We need some happy, bubbly, non-serious funny stuff too - modern ones. Even Lighter and Princess was so serious to certain extent. He should do something like hidden love, the best things, oath of love type of dramas - light and fluffy and feel good dramas. His love story in 1970s was also kinda serious story (of the times) .... not completely fluffly.... although it was welcoming change from after watching him die in "Love beyond the grave"
He needs a good PR and agency. Scripts he is selecting are not what he should be doing at his age.

I hope they give both ML and FL same weight - instead of ML becoming a by stander and just there as a supporting character - like many many c-dramas. K-dramas are better in that aspect ....
How is this drama only rated 8.9? It’s the best release of 2026! I thoroughly enjoyed this drama - never felt even a single episode boring. Finally a drama where they don't show FL suddently doing outlandish things and ML doesn't have any role other than being staunch supporter of FL....
Going from Something in the rain/ one spring night / snow drop/ DP --> average or below average shows (for his level) - Love Next Door/ Our Sticky Love etc .... and now this drama plot doesn't even sound good....
Netflix/ Disney has ruined K dramas, The only reason C dramas are still good is because Netflix/ Disney has not entered into making C dramas .... (they should never be allowed)
I am probably a minority here - I completed the novel and I feel like FL somehow trying to compensate for not…
Yes. I found it - and posted it above too .... along with my thoughts and interpretation....
Overall - I feel like the author/ story has definitely been written favoring FL more than ML and infact punishes him for what he has been honestly verbalizing - including his reasons to believe why he can not consider dating/ marrying her (the whole communication gap)

I did not watch the drama - where in the novel he rejected her idea of "normal relationship" - after 4 years - I extracted the novel to a pdf - so we might not be able to reference page numbers ?
Edit: I found it :-D
again - it was wrong time to bring up that topic - he was brewing with anger that she was also entertaining Sun Yu simultaneously (Again - why in the world she couldn't tell him that she was helping her friend - whats there to be afraid of - he didn't even know she was learning French on Sundays ..... so whats he supposed to infer.? She really has a communication problem - just like he has a harsh attitude )
Luan Nian finally spoke. He said, "I hope you calm down. Because I don’t intend to change the current state between us. I’m not prepared to take another step forward."
"Why? I thought after four years together, many things have changed. At least it should be deeper than when we started." Her voice and hands trembled slightly, but she didn’t notice.
"Things have changed, but not to the point where I feel I should date or marry you. You’re still young, not firm about anything. Even though you say you want to be with me now, tomorrow you’ll still go to a blind date event to meet different men. I don’t want to date someone like that."
"I was just helping Sun Yu."
"Is that so?" Luan Nian asked her, "Are you sure? You were just helping Sun Yu, so you go to blind date events every week; you just wanted to spend time with friends, so you’re living ambiguously with a man. Sorry, I think we’re better off as friends with benefits."

Agree to some of the comments you made.
I read the novel. She ends their relationship on a whim saying " I want to end the dirty, ugly, disgusting relationship between you and me"
Oh boy!
Forget about all the stuff - I would not have reconciled ever if my partner named the relationship Dirty, ugly, disgusting - I know what they had going was not conventional - but this is different level - after he agreed to be her boyfriend and after he made so much efforts to tone down (even if it's not much for her) .....
Yet, he reconciled - only to get dumped in the most unexpected way (even after he told her - let's talk after I come back - is that not communication rigth there???)
The only thing I agree is - he is harsh and you are right about - not wanting to get coached whensome adds insulting words - but he gave her high rating, encouraged her in many other ways...
In real life, I probably would not have dated a domineering guy like him - but I can't help to see his "acts of service" or show affection and care through action
Other than the S...X part, I don't know if he got the level of emotional match with her ....I think it was incompatible from the beginning. If I were him, I wuldn't have left my "going" life and shuttled to Harbin - thats just me .... .
I am not biased , but I got irritated a lot by this ML character - hahaa!

Great drama. Deserves at least 9.3 IN MY OPINION

#ZhangLinghe plays Crown Prince Song Ling / Ye Ting Yan, a close advisor to the Emperor
OR the Crown Prince Song Lan ? {as the story says she marries Song Lan}
I kinda think Crown Prince Song Ling - but her marrying Crown Prince Song Lan is throwing me off here :D :D
I don't want ZhangLinghe to be a second fiddle - haha!
