yeah, that’s fair maybe the production team is partly to blame but i still feel like the overall direction and pacing are messy too. even the scenes that made it in sometimes feel disconnected. it’s a shame because the story had a lot of potential 🥲

once again, the male lead barely got any screentime in ep 16 🤣. it’s honestly frustrating, so many of jqx's scenes have been deleted or cut, and that’s a huge reason why viewers are struggling to connect with his character. the screenwriter has such a messy way of handling the storyline, there are moments where it feels like the drama is finally getting it right, but then it suddenly falls apart again. i'm still going to keep watching, but the inconsistency is really holding the drama back.

based on the comments about the new episode, i think I’ll need some patience watching it, lol 🤣

the ost is so goood 🥹🫶🏼

only one episode for today?

he’s a decent actor, not that impressive, but not bad either. i'm not a fan of him, but i've watched some of his dramas and he’s really not that bad. i think the real issue is he picks the wrong scripts sometimes. some roles don’t let him show what he can actually do, so people just assume he’s only there to look good.

also, i think the reason his fans reacted like that to your comment is because it felt kinda mean and came out of nowhere. they just want to see people talk about the drama, not read something that sounds more like personal dislike than actual feedback. if you really want him to improve, you should also mention the things he does well. saying “i want him to be good” doesn’t really match the way you talked about him.

not sure, since this is going differently than the novel, but i think it's around episode 20 or maybe even earlier

no shade, but this is how i feel about the kdrama head over heels the male lead just doesn't look like a high schooler 😭

i saw it here. they originally filed for 40 episodes, but rumors say it was cut down from 40 to 24 eps

yeah it's so complicated also the censorship problems 🤣

this was done as a safety net in case they'll have issues applying for the license

i get what you mean, and i’d probably understand her more too if she showed even just a bit of empathy or explained her reasons better. but from what we’ve seen, she’s really just holding him back and projecting her grief onto him. she’s trying to make him live the life she originally wanted for their other son, and that’s a heavy burden to put on someone. i get that she’s hurting, but it doesn’t excuse how controlling and dismissive she’s being. he deserves to make his own choices and be supported, not constantly compared to someone else.

they didn't trim anything. they filed for 40 eps but filmed for 24 eps only. so, we lost no episodes :)

right. i don’t get why some people were upset thinking this drama wouldn’t have 40 episodes. like 40 is way too long and usually just full of filler. i can justify 30 episodes max for a modern drama, but anything more just feels like it’s dragging things out for no reason.

also, they finally talked in episode 6! he explained everything and cleared things up.

the next ep preview 🥲 i think i need to let this drama marinate first LOL that mother is stressing the hell out of me

right 🤣 atp i'm just trusting the process. i know we'll see more of him but ugh it's sooo frustrating

same. i'm really enjoying this show but the pacing slowed down right when things were starting to get interesting, and now we’re stuck in the petty jealousy arc while the ml is barely around… it’s a bit frustrating, especially since it feels like the story’s just dragging out the parts that aren't as fun to watch 😅

i feel the same. hopefully we get to see more of him in the next episode.

i hope she gets cast in a youth cdrama someday. she's still so young and absolutely beautiful. she will suit that type of roles instead of mature ones

finally they reconcile but the difference between yingtao’s and qiaoxi's parents is frustrating me lol. yingtao’s parents are sweet and supportive, meanwhile qiaoxi's parents are just yelling, controlling, and stressing everyone out for no reason. it lowkey makes me wanna throw my phone 😵‍💫
