If I read the chinese correctly, it should be her deleting him from her contact, not blocking. If blocking you can unblock. Deleting means she completely gave up on him. Because adding friends back means you need their consent as well in Weixin.

One thing I must confess first: I FORGOT ABOUT ZHOU KEYU
My poor boy, how come I forgot your face after I don't see you for almost a year haha

Onto the review:
Really drama? They still didn't get back together at this point? I feel like this is such a wasted time for them though. How many episodes are we going with this?

The tree scene is actually a bit embarrassing. And what is it with Zheng Shuyi falling asleep again before answering Shi Yan's questions. I don't know anymore.

Though the part when they're together so short, I love it. I guess I just have to hold on until they ended this cold war.

Yeah lol The drama maximise the potential of the angst, but now though I'm just tired of this. I wanted them to get back together soon because they're cute when they're with each other.

The differences in the expectation I guess. For me, it's just okay, I don't really have any problems. But I guess for the people who are used with different type of drama, this might not be the most ideal.

I mean, even the K-dramas still use this kind of trope.

I really wish by this point they use the novel plot. I think this is a better explanation. When she's sick, he showed that he still care a lot for her, and in the end he realized that for whatever purpose she decided to get close to him, he's going to forgive her because he thought that he couldn't be without her. That's much more romantic that the tree scene. Like, whatever was that.

This is what I complained as well to my friend. I feel like our FL and the writer forgot the main purpose of her getting close to him in the beginning, not just for the interview but for the revenge. In the novel, she did remind herself about this many times throughout the entire story so we never forgot this fact. She continues to play this act until she got exposed.

In the book, Shi Yan think about it and come into the conclusion himself. He got the final confirmation from his niece, Qin Shiyue, who knows more about the story of Shu Yi chasing the cheater's uncle's ex for revenge. He finally understand why she did what she did, and got angry at her. He did block her in Weixin as well.

Sometimes people forgot that discussion is about two opposing views, talking about what they like and don't like, and do them in the most rational way. People nowadays easy to say: If you don't think the way I think, then it's utterly bullshit.

Having discussion is good, means that we could learn from each other. Rather than just attacking others for being "blind" or "not able to see things" etc. I experienced this many times with people who are angry I didn't like the show they watched. I mean, I pointed out the flaw, and they said to me: "Then go read the novel you can understand the FL better!" Why do I need the advice to read the novel when I'm discussing about the drama? That was crazy.

What did the OP say?

Somehow I feel like these people so amazing as they can see what we can't see. Like, they can see the future or something. Or they can see alternate dimensions.

I agree with this. As someone who is raised in Chinese family, I can understand her mother. My parents are like that too in the past, though now they had given up. But they will throw me, in any chance, to any man available. They will sing praises for the man, and when that man turned out to be a scum, they will shut up for a while before starting with a new one. Me being over 30 and not married yet considered to be the biggest crime ever.

And I agree with what you said as well. Her mom didn't believe her because if she didn't see the boyfriend with her own eyes, and the boyfriend is not introduced to the parents, there's no boyfriend at all. The mentality of the Asian parents.

I would not forgive her if I'm Shi Yan. This is becoming ridiculous. By now, I wish they just use the novel material because it's much more subdued and better in terms of their reconciliation. I'm still holding on because it's almost the end.

It's like anger response? Though in the novel, he did unblock her soon, but she ended up deleting him from her contact. In the end, it's also him who asked her to add him back. So it was more like an impulse to him rather than wanting to truly break up with her.

The problem is that, many of the novels still follow this type of structure. It's like, the naive FL will met the cold-hearted ML. It's like their formula. It's not so easy to find female lead that's not immature or naive.

Nah I don't think so. We don't get that often nowadays, unless it's very successful I guess.

This is the point where I almost gave up really. I watched this show because it's my happy pill. But now it drags on endlessly. I just wanted this to finish >.>

Dang, they robbed us of that???

The novel version is much.... weirder than the drama. Especially the business part. I also prefer the drama more than the novel, because the novel is your usual tropey BG drama. Nothing else. I've read it until the end and I did like it, but not love it. It was okay, but too many things happening and it's not as good as the drama, in my opinion.

I was not a fan of his acting as well. He started out okay, then go downhill after that. Word of Honour was a saviour, in which he showed different range of his acting. Then it went nowhere. But in here, he's really really good. His eyes speaks volume.

I did say it to my friend: He just needs someone he's comfortable with, in terms of his co-star, so he can act out fully. And he found that person in this drama.

Ohh someone actually got this! I was so baffled at this as well and though it was so unrealistic. But again, it's available only in dramaland.

Anyone knows the schedule for this one? Still Saturday-Sundy? Or is there any changes in the schedule?
