I uploaded the airing schedule. Looks like there will be another break next week. 2 episodes a day Thursday - Sunday.

I loved this drama so much more than the webnovel. Not for its intricate plot (cause there wasn't one), but that it was simple and fun. Enjoyed seeing these two leads that are good friends work together and improve on a story that was lacking and full of tropes. Felt like this one was a palate cleanser and look forward to seeing them all again in their future projects.

Loved her in "Ten Miles" and "I Am Nobody"! Gorgeous and doesn't overact.

Glad to see him in another drama w/Bailu.. He just seems to be fun to be around, a good singer, and talented in acting.

omg, thank you for sharing those clips! Riley & PXR are beautiful.

Thank you! I don't remember that, but saw the ex's face looked like it had been beaten in some of the uploaded previews. Wondered who did it and it was who I expected. ..had to rewatch it 3x.

It's been so long since I read the webnovel. Can someone please tell me if the scummy ex was actually beaten by Uncle Fan in the book, because I just died laughing at that scene, but don't remember it being in the book?

I actually enjoyed "Story of Kunning Palace" and it was partially due to Zhou Jun Wei's portrayal of Yan Lin. I also appreciated his emceeing/managing the live for SoKP last year. He kept it interesting and on-track. Wishing him lots of success and happiness now and in his future endeavors.

There's a little more information on the Baike site. https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%AD%94%E9%9B%80%E5%9F%8E%E4%B8%8B%E5%B0%8F%E9%9D%92%E8%A1%A3/63227953

Zhou Jun Wei was caught up in China's "white paper protest" in 2022. He had posted a photo of a blank piece of paper. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/11/27/china-white-paper-protests-anniversary-shanghai/8742a6aa-8d8a-11ee-95e1-edd75d825df0_story.html

Read the novel and had an idea of what to expect. The characters in the webnovel were not well written. The drama is a simple, but long drawn out romcom. It wasn't complicated or full of angst.

You are actually correct though, if Bailu wasn't in it, this type of drama would not even be on my Plan to Watch list. I like seeing her range.

He's incredibly talented at such a young age and is just so likable. Wishing him lots of success and happiness in his career.

I kept waiting for an adult or authorities to intervene or actual justice to be served, but there was just bullying after bullying and eventually the bullies were beaten... no resolution. just ass kicking. Not that it wasn't satisfying watching them get what they deserved, but there was actually no proper ending.

What, Riley's here too?! I may have seen a clip on Twitter, but thought I imagined it.

I wonder if they'll include the chase scene from the novel between Shu Yi and her scheming coworker, Xu Yu Ling..

Exactly, it's a simple watch and the leads are fun to watch. Love it so much more than the novel. If I didn't read the novel and know what to expect, I'd probably be a bit more critical and frustrated by the story.

This was more obvious in the novel than the drama. Like, her main purpose/reason for approaching and trying to hook up with Shi Yan was that she thought he was the mistress' uncle. Here though, she wanted to get his interview, then use his ties to develop an online platform for their finance company. When her ex approached her assuming that she was having an affair w/the mistress' chubby little boss who is married in episode 22, she then started worrying that Shi Yan would think that was why she approached him. So the issue is vague and dragged on a bit and not helped by her BFF giving her bad love advice.

Reminds me of when someone can "hear" what is being said from across the street, behind closed doors, or on the other side of a glass window of a cafe (in dramaland)... while I'm over here having trouble hearing what someone's saying right next to me.

One thing that cracks me up is how loud everyone talks over the phone so whoever is nearby can hear the conversation..

Not yet disclosed and even scummy ex is unaware. The "mistress" told him her uncle worked for Shi Yan's company, but wasn't specific about his role as being the chauffeur. ...maybe the ex really can get a job as a driver...
