Hi, for what it's worth I think read the novels. They are excellent. The translations are really well done especially if you are reading E. Danglers (link to original translation in the discussion section above). Don't punish yourself for Youku's continued idiocy. If anything, now you can populate your imagination with the leads as you read the book. Enjoy!

Thanks OP.
This is not directed towards you but Youku's ridiculousness. The post from the JITD team is dumb. Essentially, it translates to hold on while we milk you, our unsuspecting viewers for advertising money, views, ratings, and fanship. While holding on to IP we are not going to do anything with (for whatever reasons legit or otherwise). Meanwhile, we'll toss out some meaningless pseudo clever words your (viewers) way which are virtually meaningless because we clearly don't have a plan of any kind. What a farce.
Please don't @ me commenters/posters. I am sure everyone has their views this is my limited perspective, not really an invitation for discussion or commentary on how I'm wrong. Thanks! Peace.

I lose it while trudging through the subtitles! LOL

Seems promising but on hold until such time as Mango TV improves its super crap subtitles (next to never!) or some kind soul chooses to do so (can only pray!).

Not as gripping as the first one. But let's hope it picks up.

Ugh Same. She's such an underrated natural actress. Really needs to dump her shite agency and find a new one that gets her roles in big budget productions where she can really shine as the main. If I have to watch on more plastic faced, identical expression, stick figure c-drama actor, ISTG,

Such a soothing drama. With finely if minimally sketched out characters. Everyone is so lovely. And I think, they are half way in love already. It's like the line from a book I once read (paraphrased): I didn't fall in love. It happened all at once and little by little: all at the same time.

Ooh, do you have a link? These two need to act together more often. Insane chemistry.

I cannot wait to watch this...althought it's probably 6-months or more away from a North American release. #cries

Nope. It's about one lead couple and some support characters. Nothing cliche or extraneous.

I think she was embarrassed, and felt awkward and completely taken aback by everything that happened. She's an excellent actress because you could see her awkwardness in her voice and her body. I think it was a human reaction. And one that anyone could have. She was appalled by herself, and is well aware that she owes him a huge apology. I felt terrible for both of them. His heart broke. While she is understandably upset about what this situation means for them and for her; as well how terribly she's treated him.
A very human set of reactions.

"Coach unorthodox" hahahaha

The human heart isn't equipped with a tap. Yeah, man, I hear you. That would have been a nice option to have.

That was a really kind and forthright rejection. She didn't denigrate his feelings or make him feel that he was too young to know how own mind or feelings; instead, it was about her, where she is in life and what she can commit her energies too.
Well-delivered by both. But ZYT proved calibre again with how she reined in the softness and ambivalence on her face, the glimmer of tears in her eyes to give him an unwavering response, without being unkind.

I'd say ep 30 was the weakest one, which is a shame. They failed to capture, or perhaps. translate, the nuances of his letter. The most important part is where he says. the while she may have broken up but, painful as it was, he never broke-up because she had asked him to promise that they would never break-up once together.
So for me, the drama ended at ep 29. It's been sweet, bitter, contemplative and difficult journey. But to borrow the drama's title, the road home home was never in doubt.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Easily top 5 of 2023 alongside Meet Yourself. Possibly even top 2 but I'll keep it flexible since, who knows, there might be worthy contenders to come.

I can't believe it has ended. Going to savour this last ep, and wonder when I can watch the two of them in the same drama again. Because, man, what a treat!
The only thing I'd nitpick is they deserved a cuter and less awk kid.

Ooh, thanks so much! :)

Hahahahha. "Do you want the pants too?" HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. And that cheeky grin. Why so adorbs, this couple, I ask you?

Thanks a mill!

It would be awesome if someone could kindly translate the episode title...you know the spoken one-liner where one or both of speak? IQIY is great at subtitles not sure why they've missed this out. Thanks v much!
