Glad I’m not the only one haha. Do you think Chinese actors are on average younger than Korean actors? I am surprised how many cdrama actors are under 25 these days (and often only 21/22). Even Lu Si is only 24 and she’s been in so many successful dramas already!

Ah I see! I’ve got a VPN on when I watch dramacool, so hopefully it’s pretty secure. But I don’t feel like paying for VIP access on MangoTV, so I might just drop it now. Thanks :)

There’s a 3 year time jump, so he basically goes into prison and comes out of prison in the same episode.

I’m telling myself that he looks older than his age (at least in the drama) because otherwise I can’t explain how I had a bit of a crush on him when he’s only 22 and I’m 31 🤣

I found it quite difficult to gauge the time span in part 2. Surely it would have taken them months to develop these games but it was really hard to tell. And when Zhu Yun‘s mom asked when Li Xun was released from prison, Zhu Yun just said “A long time ago” which could mean anything?

Where are you watching that? I’d be keen to see some scenes although I don’t normally watch variety shows. 😅

That said, even when it’s set in college, there are barely any scenes when they’re in classes. They’re mostly just doing programming projects together and are already earning money with that.

Did you watch the confidence? I started watching it on dramacool but it doesn’t seem to have subs after ep 32.

Having watched the final episodes now, I can see why the actors referred to the ending as “ambiguous”. It’s not 100% clear if she’s just imagining him being there, or if he is really there. The whole scene looks a bit less realistic than the others. But I like to think that they do have a happy ending because FL generally looked quite happy and optimistic when she was packing up with Su Wen and meeting her in laws. I doubt she’d look like that if he had died. and it’s also hard to imagine who else she’d be starting a law firm with! So I’m telling myself that they’re finally together. Just wish we had a few more scenes with them, the kiss was so short.

Yes it seems a bit odd to me to rename the company L&P when they’ve got the reputation of just copying games. I think a fresh start would have been better.

I just wish they got back together a bit earlier than ep 35. The ending felt a bit rushed to me. They just got back together and almost immediately decide to have a baby and get married.

I thought they were already moving very quickly. They just got together and what feels like a week later they decide they want a baby and get married 😂

Same! I liked the ending but didn’t like the whole cancer plot line. But I guess they wanted to show character growth for Li Xun as well - that he was able to forgive and move on. But with Gao having brain cancer, he (Li Xun) didn’t even have much of a choice than showing mercy.

Yes I wondered that too, whether he started being open to getting back together after the slap/hug scene but she didn’t bring it up again. Which makes total sense to me when you’ve already been rejected once. Anyway I am really happy he finally took the initiative!

Same, I almost liked him by the end of the drama although he was the only one who didn’t get a redemption arc!

That’s a great quote!

Yes that might be the case! I might check out the Viki translations once the episodes are uploaded there.

I thought he was talking about Zhu Yun. Because he had clearly liked her for a long time in college and kept flirting with her but never properly confessed until that lake scene where she asked him to choose her.

What were the other top 5 dramas in your opinion?

I preferred the college days, probably wouldn’t watch the whole adult years again. College days were more light hearted.
