Ep23 I am a little like flower moon, I need some sunlight rather than strings of disasters and misery in my entertainment. I admit, at the end of 21 when the shop caught on fire I was like oh no. And I am now looking at XingWu's retrospectove flashbacks standing in front of the burnt-out storefront. And I see how it workls dramatically and I like it. This isnt filler or just another crisis it is a chance to really express cinematically memory and loyalty and other good stuff. I almost didnt watch this show because I dont do saccharine highschool, but there is a good balance of sweet and acid in this saucing which elevates the show.
Bro we betting get at least 5 episodes with them being away from each other for 5 years or whatever it is. If…
Thanks, yeah. by 12 hours i think, it shows up on viki here in the eastern us so late in the evening, like 11:30/midnight, that i see it only the next morning
Cao Fan kind of pissed me off. She could've resolved the misunderstanding of being bullied by the FL and ML but…
She is a bit of a hard-**s, I admit. But we see so many women like that in the world, quietly and determinedly struggling with a hard fate.
Her anger and resentment bleed into all her interactions and cause problems. She didnt fix her brother's friends' misunderstandings because she didnt care about anyone but herself. So admitting she wanted a family was a step forward. I liked that she accepted the gift of the watch, it felt like she acknowledged that he cared for her.
Qing Ye the FL is sort of preachy, but essentially correct -- Cao Fan deserves a place amongst the dedicated students. QY has a sort of hard-headed practicality about public life.
I felt for Cao Ping though, didnt you? He isnt the brightest spark and he got everything wrong. That's why I was so cheered up by their new year's meal together. And the idea that Cao Fan was willing to have him around.
EP12 So the romance is over? Or does he already know that she is like that and he will take her back? Like that = completely needy and guilty with regards to her father, completely prideful with regards to her mother. Violent and mistrustful.
And after XieYanLai actually coaxed her back inside to say goodbye to her dying father....
Did she deliberately miss him with that arrow or was it her uncertain aim and she actually meant to kill him? Now is when I agree with some on the DuLing 'look' -- what is going on inside there?

It should be soon, right? Their exams should be in tomorrow's ep and off they go? right, so ep24 (wed) they will meet up again, all suited up with glasses.
ep 22 fireworks between the leads, literally in one shot. But she is definitely dousing the flames with those looks. They know she is planning to go away for school ....fireworks and accidents from fireworks...didnt they ban private fireworks somewhere in asia last year...
Wow I have never thought about whether or not in china a person can start over after prison. The way Cao Fan is talking to Cao Ping in jail makes it sound much more like the USA than I thought. It is all fiction, but with some truth?
Kdrama draws a picture of an absolute devastation caused to families by the criminal wrongdoing of one of its members. It is such a much smaller country, I guess. All sorts of ingrained prejudices remain powerful there ; I expect you would likely to see similar in rural areas of the c-mainland.
Wow I had no idea this would be so popular on Netflix. It cant all be ex-teachers and current educators out there watching?
I wish this meant that people could somehow figure out a way to fix things for the future. We can never go back to how things were, but the present is untenable and I cant see a way forward.
A lot of people must feel the same way. This show at least relieves some of the tension!
They’ve completely hijacked the political storyline to force-feed us a generic romance plot. Lmao
To put it another way, the political writing and quality of the acting is so strong that many 'hokey' moments have been marshalled into useful submission. Innumerable laments at things undone and unsaid dont make the scenes with her Dad any less powerful. I never would have suspected Zhou Yi Ran of this strain of vulnerability and power which shows itself beneath the usual hot bodyguard role either.
This ep went from brilliant scene to brilliant scene! I was so high on drama.
Her final meetings with her father and the dialogues with him are really classical pieces of writing. The themes of human lament, petty, selfish, despairing and grand..are further developed by her dialogues with YanLai. He is turning out to be a sturdy character, morally. Very clearheaded.
The modern transmigration plot is neatly wrapt up in the useless self-recriminations and desires for a redo that we all can face at the loss of someone close to us.
My instincts all say that this is the modern chinese theatre tradition, international and deeply national, that this is the training from the capital's acting schools.
The wonderfully strange and reserved debates and anti-alliances of Deng Yi, the Grand Mentor and Xie YanFang, the prime minister, likewise have that same lacquered finish.
And Xiao Yun, slowly revealing himself to be the ultimately duplicitous villain, going all mandarin on the poor envoy of the Northern desert alliance. Just wow.
Like all classical efforts, this show can be unashamedly a bit hokey, but also the familiarity we all have with the underlying themes being picked up in each set piece, like all tropes everywhere, leaves one free to enjoy the small perfections as each scene unrolls.
