Tang Xin's confession of her feelings to Tang Yu is written in that online diary. It recorded her crush for 4 years to Tang Yu. That's why she's so reluctant to accept his confession. She loved him, and she felt like she loved him more than he did. Though love can't be determined based on time, but after harboring secret crush for 4 years, having to help him to win her own best friend, and then being rejected due to "not suitable." I can understand Tang Xin's pain and reluctance to start relationship with Tang Yu. What if it's just a whim? What after they got together he realized she's not the one he wanted? After all, his past girlfriends record showed that his preference for women differ a lot from her.
Those who said Tang Xin is ruthless and stupid for not believing in Tang Yu should also put yourself in her position. Would you readily agree to the confession of a man who just rejected you? And so cruelly? It's not even "I don't like you" but his response is "We're not suitable." Which is more hurtful than just being told "Let's just be friends."
This is the episode that I've been waiting for. This is my fave part in the novel and I could say the same for the drama as well. This is the time they need to open their heart to each other and do the heart-to-heart talk.
For those who had never dabbled themselves in CN dubbing industry, it's a good way to understand how dubbing works in China. It's similar to Japanese dubbing system, in which the VA (voice actor) considered as idol. Most of the time, they don't really come out in the media or show their photo, so the fans truly like their voices only.
Most of the VA, whether CN or JP, has the ability to sing. I'm happy that they showed how to use YY because most of the times, not everyone understand this.
I hope this drama really got a good response because I really believe that VA world, especially in Asia, is really flourishing right now. And I'm sure some of the VA who sings in episode 9 of this drama really the famous VA. I feel like I've heard their voices before. But it's understandable, not everyone can sing the Chinese Ancient song style that easily and effortlessly.
I think this might be my favorite Korean drama of the year. The reason is also because of Chae Jeong Hyeop. I really love his acting.
Plot: 6/10 Nothing very outrageous or creative included in the drama. It was simple drama with simple message, to continue live on no matter how hard life could be. Mok Ha able to survive in the island for 15 years in the deserted island due to this as well. To me, there are times when it was too draggy, even for a slice of life, and I wish I could just skip some parts. But most of the time, I do enjoy the drama quite a lot.
Character: 8/10 I rate this high because of the good characterisation in the drama. From Mok Ha, Dad Lee, and then our Ki Ho. Mok Ha is a girl with sunny disposition and not giving up attitude, but her attitude is not because of her naivety because she understands how the world works, it's just that she's able to retain that pureness after being deserted for 15 years. She did say that she felt frustration and even wanting to die at some point, which is understandable, as that's very humane.
Dad Lee is one of the greatest dad that a family would want. He did a lot to protect his family members and I really applauded him for that.
Ki Ho might be one of the most misunderstood character in the early episodes of the drama. But he did everything by considering the advantage and disadvantage, as always. That's him and he will never change. Even when we first introduced to the two brothers, I know immediately which one is Ki Ho, because it's just too obvious. I'm not sure how people can mistake the other brother as Ki Ho.
Talking about the other brother, I think that Woo Hak is the character I like the least from our main character, aside from the abusive Dad. Woo Hak is the character that people would pity because he's so proactive towards the female lead Mok Ha, giving her everything in great fanfare, but to me, it doesn't feel as authentic as what Ki Ho did. Woo Hak always thinks of himself first, which is actually quite humane, but compared to the other characters that are selfless, he might be my least favorite.
Music: 10/10 The music is the biggest winner of the show. That's the only thing that I can say.
Overall: 6/10 To me, this is still just another romance drama. But there are times when I shed tears, especially during episode 11, when Ran Joo doing the voice over that when people failed the first thing they would do is to blame others for their misfortunes. I remember crying at that time because it's just so true and so humane. That's what I love from this drama the most.
exactly, at first I was a bit skeptical. But now he is portraying the gentleness so well, I am satisfied.
Me too! I really can't see him as my beloved Toupai at first, but I gradually accepted it and now I think no one else can do the role beside him. He's just that perfect in portraying Mo Qingcheng.
It has 33 episodes so it's probably not going to be all cute and fluffy right? Wondering if I should pick up this…
Well, if it continues to follow the novel course, there should be no angst. It's very fluffy. I hope they do this though.
It's a very cute romance drama. If you like romance with a lot of cuteness, then I think you can pick it up. Or maybe better to wait until all episodes aired first before deciding whether to watch it or not.
start this right now!!! Each & every episode is literally sooo sweet 💕🦋💘🤩😘😍
I agree! I was too biased with the novel. I read them long time ago and Mo Qingcheng is my number 1 male lead for dubbing theme in Chinese novel. That's why I'm a little bit disappointed that Tan Jianci is chosen for the role.
But by episode 4, I accepted it already. I'd rather take him than other idol actor, who might be more handsome, but might not have the capability to show the duality of charismatic Qiang Qing Ci and the gentle Mo Qingcheng so effortlessly. It's like the character is part of him, and that's what I admire from his as an actor. So now, I'm really happy! They're perfect for the role.
Zhuo Ye is a very great actress. Her acting skill is really good for such a young age.
Maybe I just love the book too much. I read the book long time ago, and I still remember the story even after so many years. That's why I think I'm a little bit biased in my opinion.
To me, Tan Jianci, while an excellent actor, didn't really look like Mo Qingcheng to me. At first. I really have to put my biasness aside and tried to enjoy his portrayal of Mo Qingcheng. And by episode 4, I had forgotten my initial biasness. I'm happy that he's the one who played Mo Qingcheng, rather than some idol actor. He had that charisma and gentleness that Mo Qingcheng also had.
By episode 4, I can say that the drama team didn't change much from the novel, and I'm glad. Because it's just a light hearted romance story about 2 people, loving each other's voice and ended up together in real life. I hope the drama vibe stays the same!
I will wait for the Sunday episodes to air first before I continue. But I would recommend this to everyone who liked fluffy and cute romance drama.
OMG I didn't know this is from Really Really Miss You! That's why the name Gu Sheng is so familiar to me. I will definitely follow and watch this! I love Mo Bao Fei Bao works!
The aftermath of the plagiarism is just... too bland. I think ep12 is overall the weakest episode so far in the…
The way Tang Yu bargaining and practically begging to spend 20 minutes more with Tang Xin simply hilarious. I love these two so much. When together, they created this sparkling energy and I can't help myself but be drawn to it.
AND MY BABY ASSISTANT GAO WITHOUT SUITS! HE LOOKS CHARMING!
The aftermath of the plagiarism is just... too bland. I think ep12 is overall the weakest episode so far in the entire series. The way Tang Xin just forgives the old friend, who almost ruined her, so easily, is so anti-climatic. It's like they wanted to create this positive atmosphere, but in real life, nothing like this will ever happen.
The entire vibe is still very good, but the plagiarism is a little bit off to me. Though I'm glad they handled it fast so it don't drag.
Can you spoil the two couples? Any break up for lead couple? Or tension? What's about ML' best friend?
I even have to re-read the novel again yesterday to check whether it was there, but as far as I know, it's not there. I tried to read up to chapter 70, but I don't think I see any problem with plagiarism. I think they added it.
I’m pretty sure they will end up together if you looked at the trailer for ending song. There’s a scene where…
There are many examples of Chinese actors/actresses do this. So it's not really a special thing.
Feelings do matters, but when you're pressed with time and age, and your family hounding you every second, most people settle with compatibility more. I almost fall into the same pit, being born in Chinese family, with many blind dates and recommendation coming from left and right, so I could marry. Luckily, now that I'm over 30, no one care anymore and just think that I'm a leftover (no one wanted me).

You Huan? No, the designer friend with no one in the novel.
Those who like Assistant Gao mostly the girls at the office. Han Xiaoxiao (the girl who is a fan of Tang Xin's book in Shi Guang), Secretary Chen (Tang Yu's other secretary), and some girls at the office that are not named.
I’m pretty sure they will end up together if you looked at the trailer for ending song. There’s a scene where…
Maybe I remember it wrong but I don't think there's any problem about the copyright issue. I guess they added it. What I remember is Zhou Jialu is going to go down soon.
Yes. Being compatible doesn't mean you have feelings for that person. You might have good or positive attitude towards that person since they matched your criteria, but not love. It's a good foundation of marriage though, and many Chinese people still do this. Many of them got married because their parents, families, even neighbours, introduce people to them.
I’m pretty sure they will end up together if you looked at the trailer for ending song. There’s a scene where…
Luckily, this drama got it right. Though I'm still bitter that the actor who played Huo Chendong is not the one who played Lu Zhixing lol He looks like Chen Zheyuan in certain angles, and I kinda like him quite a lot.
I’m pretty sure they will end up together if you looked at the trailer for ending song. There’s a scene where…
Yes, after the confession, the drama started to be very interesting. Those who dropped it in the beginning might even regret it. I feel that up to ep11, the quality of the drama is still excellent.
I read the novel directly when I know it's an adaptation. Plus I really like the drama vibe, so I'm willing to read it with my rusty Chinese lmao
The novel stated that Lu Zhixing thinks if Tang Xin has no pursuer, after the movie he might try it. But that's because he thinks Tang Xin is an excellent partner in making movies, so like Tang Yu in the beginning when he pursued Ming Zhu, it's more like the outer appearance that attracted him, not love. He was just curious. And he did say that too to Lao Feng in the novel, so the drama is actually pretty accurate.
