I said it in my review but I wanted to say it here:
It's clear to me that while all the events were 'fictitious' within the world, the 'writer' based many events on her own life with Jiang Yi. Not to mention - how sweet is it, that the entire story is one big "I wish I met you sooner" to the one she loves? That blew my mind and made the twist all worth it. Besides - I watch shows understanding what happens isn't real from the start - it's a show! Not a documentary. I wish the show did better and they got a second season to show their real love story. But alas what we got was super sweet. I love that when they got together they never fought or broke up for an unreasonable amount of episodes. They do break up towards the end but it's for very reasonable reasons and it is resolved rather quickly, about 35-40 minutes max within the show. Ignore the bad reviews and watch it for what it is - a love story from someone who wished they met their soulmate sooner. God, I just love that concept.
