try reading the novel, the drama do add many things to make it more sad or harder for fl. the novel is rightfully hyped imo, i do enjoy the show but the novel is way better for me and it's truly a shame there are some changes (i understand it being an adaptation and all) bc i wish the novel would get the same popularity internationally as it was in mainland

spoiler: she was almost sexually assaulted, had trauma and had to reside temporarily in policewoman house, she had no times to think about other ppl due to the experience. All she had in her mind was to get away from that, to go far away hence her abrupt decision to apply to yihe, sangyan didnt crossed her mind at all bc she was so deep in her traumatic experience. Only when sangyan came that she remembered the promise and what she had done, it was a bad move ig but she was totally in bad place i would never fault her for that

I wouldnt say totally fail but they definitely made him more on funnier side, there are times tho in HL that he is shown aloof imo, and imo if based on HL novel alone it is quite an accurate intepretation but once you read both novel you get new intepretation how sangyan character in HL novel actually act, without reading first frost you always laughing reading his antics and imagine him as this loud funny guy but once you read first frost you can imagine him doing all these in HL novel in more nonchalant way imo. instead of imagining him doing all that in a brat way you start gaining new perspective of him doing those in nonchalant sarcastic way haha, at least that's how i intepret it on my reread on both novel

i actually felt that for hidden love, i wish they would retain his aloof side more instead of making him a comedic relief character, i know many HL watcher like him like that, but sangyan biggest charm imo is definitely his aloof narcisstic side, like he is nonchalant but at the same time really caring and funny since his funny self is in his sarcastic style instead of the facial expression or body language. he is annoying but not the annoying that you hate, and he is the kind of annoying that one would affectionately love. honestly if you havent read first frost novel you really should, i do enjoy sangyan in hidden love but nothing could beat sangyan real self as described in first frost novel imo and maybe you could understand better why sangyan is so loved in china if you read the novel :)

hahaaha this is how i felt as first frost reader when i first saw sangyan in HL drama 😂 from the trailer it caught me off guard that he is shown as a loud guy that i immediately read HL novel to understand his character there and yes man is chaotic in HL but once you read FF it will give you new intepretation on how his chaoticness are actually delivered, i imagined he would still be chaotic but in his aloof style

bc they are extra. both are guest roles and idt you will be seeing them any soon until sangyan and yifan start dating. as someone who read first frost without knowing it was connected to hidden love at that time, i barely care about other people besides the leads, bc that is how little their appearance is, eventho i already know about hidden love (the novel and manhua) when i read it, but i never read the HL at that time, it was in my reading list but was never read by me at that time.

If you notice, zhong siqiao and edward are never giving the extra vibe bc they are important character to both leads in the drama. For FF even in the novel you could see it has always be centred around the leads and we get little screentime for other minor characters, so it make sense you feel like they are extra in the show

the fourth artist* maimai is the third one 😊

i just take this as them finally feeling what novel reader felt when we see sangyan in hidden love for the first time. i had the shock of my life when the cold annoying (affectionately) guy i know suddenly become this lively lmao

cant move on how narcisstic and shameless sangyan is and how yifan will always humble him 😭😭😭 they are truly each other perfect match bc her eccentric side always came out with him

he did say that but this is after all different production, i dont think he was ever offered for the role too bc FF douyin team even go comment on douyin a week before HL aired that it not gonna be same sangyan for FF.

to add, peoples personality can be different at workplace for many who point out about her personality etc. i thought this is quite normal, we can literally become somebody else, braver, more friendly in workplace eventho we actually not, lots of corporate workers are like that and idt it was any different for a journalist or any other occupation. You can fake your persona and become a new you in a new setting, depending on the needs, place and people

idk about you guys but for people pointing out zhang ruonan acting as bad, i guess we just have different intepretation when reading it and it's fine. I was worried seeing her in the trailer bc yifan doesnt seem so reserved but boy was i so wrong when i finally started the drama. she is the wen yifan i imagined when i read the novel, i was so surprised bc her potrayal is very accurate imo. do know that my first choice for yifan is wang churan and it's simply bc of the soft calming composed aura she exudes and ZRN is delivering exactly that to me.

hahaha this is how i felt when i first saw sangyan in hidden love 😂 he was so different than sangyan i knew in FF novel

try the novel maybe live action potrayal might not translate well to you but i personally find sangyan character so interesting

it was opposite for me i have always thought she played deeper stuff better than comedy, i enjoy watching her in movies

yup popular novel and even less popular one often get manhua adaptation!

bc it's not. both manhua has novel and it was the original source material
