zjm and wl have such natural chemistry together. what sells their relationship really is just those little intimate moments. the way they look at each other, the hair touching, the hand caressing and you can tell in the bts videos that they got along well and were very comfortable working together. i hope we get to see them work together again eventually. maybe something a bit more angsty and dramatic this time! also let me just mention how much i adore zjm and how versatile she is as an actress. she's still young but she has shown genuine range in all her projects. she's a star.

it's wild that people care so much especially because the drama shows intimacy in so many other ways (the way they look at each other, the way their hands touch, their hugs). getting mad because yin guo is a little adverse to pda makes no sense to me especially because she's been initiating things more too.

like, yes it would be nice to see them just be happy and in love all the time and i could watch both actors stare at each other and probably be happy because they have such great natural chemistry but even i know that would probably make for an incredibly dull show after awhile lol. seeing them work through their conflicts is nice and seeing their insecurities and flaws makes them seem more human.

viewers tend to be much harsher on female characters than male ones tbh so i'm not surprised by the reaction. they have have a much easier time forgiving male characters for their behaviour than when female characters exhibit any sort of flaws. yin guo is young and very sheltered and in her first relationship that she's trying to navigate. i wish people would be more empathetic and see her point of view instead of just immediately going "she made him sad :((( how dare she!!!". but the immediate reaction is just to get angry at her because she made the male character sad instead of trying to understand where she's coming from.

i like that she's not perfect. she has things she needs to work on and so does he. i like that both our leads are flawed people and not characters who know the right thing to do all the time because if they were, that wouldn't make for the most interesting show to watch tbh.

"he's the only one giving" she has consistently supported him and openly talked about wanting him to put himself first instead of giving her gifts all the time. i'm sorry she can't read his mind. he needs to open up and talk about his insecurities as well with her. why are people acting like she has never once expressed the same kind of support to him the way he's given to her when she clearly and openly has. affection comes in different ways and her personality and demeanor just means she showcases it differently from him.

think it's funny that people complain about lack of conflict but then the minute a tiny conflict happens (that clearly will get resolved) people get upset. they've been in a little bubble now of their own so it makes sense that things get a bit more messy once other people (aka more family) are let into the relationship. i love the fluff but i like that there's at least a little bit of angst in there. i also think it's necessary because it's clear that both of them have issues they still need to overcome.

people are mad at yin guo for not understanding him or where he's coming from but i'm sorry he's kind of a terrible communicator! he even admits it himself. and she's clearly been very sheltered all her life and her family holds a lot of power in her life. clearly, they both need to overcome something to make their relationship stronger. he needs to open up more, she needs to assert herself as her own person within her family. i feel like that's clearly where their relationship is heading towards and i'm genuinely looking forward to seeing how they get there.

people have an easier time empathizing with male characters than female characters so seeing some of the reactions is not a surprise tbh. it was sa clear miscommunication issue and i understood where yin guo is coming from especially considering her family.
