*spoilers*

I just finished watching this drama today (Jan 14th 2026) - only took me about 4 days to finish it all.

To be honest, many people mistaken this story to just be a romantic relationship that starts off in school and goes into the workplace - which is obviously not true for the 2 main leads. Nie Xi Guang - the first part of the story, has her in last year in university (roughly) - deciding on where she wants to work and what to do with her life - at the same time, she's dealing with her thesis paper and at the same time - the relationship dynamics of friends in her dorm and the one sided unrequited love that she has for Zhaung Xu (which we know him as SML - didn't work out - b/c of the misleading - annoying Rong - who accused her of things she - Nie Xi Guang - never actually did not do at all - but got framed by her and that ruin the once so-called friendship bound future relationship with Zhaung Xu --- the fact of this mistrust lead to the FL breaking down and eventually moved on from him - although Zhaung Xu - thought differently and too slowly - that he lost out on her - which is actually his fault too. By the time Zhaung Xu realizes his feelings for Xi Guang - she (the FL) already moved on in her life and has no more interest in him - despite the fact that Zhaung Xu kept on pestering her for a lot time, until the final big confrontation then he realizes that he has to let her go). On the next part of the story - we get to see Xi Guang discover what she likes to do, see her grow to love her job and become better at it over time. Leading her to be a very successful CEO towards the end of the story - when we see the ML switching out of the CEO role of the company they both worked at - to becoming a medical biotechnology specialist/developer too - into the field that he originally loves to work in/do.

Anyways, moving the story along - I think the amount of business shown in here was the right amount and makes it equally important to the overall storyline - as the main focus of the story - the ML switched from being a neurosurgeon to a solar energy CEO - due to the car accident he had prior to meeting the FL (2 yrs later - after his indirect encounter with the FL at Ms. Yu's special gala) - that had him do a huge career change at that time. If it wasn't for his great grandfather's idea of bringing him onboard to the company of his - then Lin Yu Sen wouldn't have met Xi Guang in the story, in Suzhou - which is a subsidiary company of his great grandfather's. Later as the story develops - we see Lin Yu Sen (ML) - changed, grow, mature and becomes a better person overall - he pursues all of his career fields very well - from that of a neurosurgeon to being a super knowledgeable person in the solar energy field of work - to going back to his original career field and pursue something more rewarding than before.

Either way - b/w the 2 main leads - the chemistry b/w the two - the trust, support, unconditional love for each other, the encouragements, the clearing of any possible misunderstandings, and the romance between the two were very sweet and great. I enjoyed every moment of their time together. Including the ending part where we get to see their married life - with their kid going to kindergarten, their major achievements that they both made in their respective fields of work - at the same time, the promises they made with each other back in the days they were dating/working together and more. The parts where I wished could've been more would be their wedding and proposal scene - where it seem a bit to fast/short/missed/cut - it was nice to see they did get married to each other - but without an audience/presence of family members, etc it. Seems like their marriage was private and fast - they got themselves married in the special garden that Xi Guang designed without any witnesses around - which I was quite surprised that it happened that way - but nonetheless I did get to see them get married to one another - and continue on with their lives as usual - both business and family life together.

As for all the other side characters - most of them were will done and they all had their reasonable redemption arc or not. But it does give you a better glimpse of those involved directly/indirectly in the lives of the 2 leads - both good and bad.

As for the traveling part of the story, it's good to show that too - cause this storyline is considered a "slice of life" kind of story - it's not just always romance only. It contains the dynamics of other relationships too - whether it be for business or personal life too - esp on the part of the FL being afraid of flying to her relationship with each member of the family of hers - both good and bad ones too,

Therefore, in conclusion - don't judge a drama and give it a low rating/bad comment - just b/c you only watched a couple or few episodes of the drama itself. Or you came here to watch only the romance and don't care about the rest of the storyline at all. This drama to me, brought out a lot of different life lessons to learn from and be able to apply it to your daily life too.

So, go ahead and watch it - if you like slow burn romance that involves not just romance only - but every day life and things - including school, workplace dynamics, and family + friend dynamics too.

Also, please don't be disrespectful to the actors or actresses in this drama - including any insults thrown their way. As you the viewer has no right to judge others - as no one is perfect in this world at all. We all make mistakes in our lives that can/cannot be forgiven and we are all made unique + special too.

That's my 2 cents worth of opinion/insight that I see as a viewer of this drama. Please don't bash me for it, thanks. Enjoy!
