Haha I was trying to understand the hype of Shine on Me but couldn't even if I got to the very last episode (I skipped more than half of the show lol). I don't suggest finishing it since we have this much better drama now.

I didn't even think there was a plot lol. It was the "He Yu Show" to me. Made me proud as a long time fan though. Yes! I skip majority of the business scenes because the interactions between the leads is so slice-of-life coded, especially with the idyllic old neighborhood setting.

'Cause it's calm. Barely any loud and annoying characters lol. And they give us crumbs with the sweet gestures to make us stay.

I don't remember when was the last time I saw a drama where it started out as pure friendship for both leads. I love that neither have hidden agendas and converse maturely. Also, the male lead is really a mentor to the female lead, and female lead really looks up to him and protects him. What a great start to a developing relationship! This has the best Cdrama plot during the start of this year so far.

And if you're still hesitating to watch this, yes, it's way better than Speed and Love (even if I was obsessing over He Yu) and Shine on Me (I forced myself to watch it since not a lot of choices). This has a tighter script and more mature overall.

P.S. Did I mention the very creative intro with the fitting ost? Here's to hoping the beautiful VR set will be used more!

It's the Asian genes. You don't raisin 'til late 40s 😃

Yeah, the fl's clothes in Speed and Love are too 12-year-oldish or lolita style which just stands out more compared to the rugged and hot outfit of the ml. It actually sounds more interesting if we switch pairings of this drama and Speed and Love. Performance-wise, He Yu and Zhao Jin Mai have a much closer level of acting prowess.

Thanks!

I'm trying hard to give this a drama a shot, but the first few episodes is like watching paint dry. Which episode does it get faster?

Is that his fan website? I need to know this lol.

I'll back you up on this. There was no subtlety in her performance. A well-seasoned actor would know how to make the character come to life by performing naturally. Take Jin Zhao's perfect character as an example. He Yu could've easily made him look arrogant, tryhard, and stoic since it was a Wattapad character, but because of his demeanor, charisma , and microexpressions, he made the character more compelling than on paper.


Also, I actually thought the 2fl outshined her. I would've love a spinoff with her as the fl lol.

Should I ask why you know all this information? 'Cause I'm afraid even as a fellow He Yu fan lol.

That's funny. I'm the complete opposite. I definitely turned off my brain since I didn't think it had a plot, but I finished it because I enjoyed the Fast and Furious scenes featuring a very hot He Yu who could also fight. It was like watching a long music video, so the Thailand scenes I was tuning in, but the China one I was fastforwarding and zoning out. I also enjoyed the friendship between the males more compared the romance (okay, I did like the teasing since He Yu was killing it lol).

I think the first time He Yu is visually compatible with the the female lead. I wish they can work together again, but in a more mature drama.

Lol I've been recommending that drama since this first came out. We're the same. That should've been his breakout role since I rewatched jt too many times already!

Riiiight!?!? Glad I'm not the only one who feels like I'm stuck in a rabbit hole -- He Yu's rabbit hole. I'm watching "Let's Meet Now" and He Yu doesn't disappoint as always lol.

How do you move on from He Yu- I meant Jin Zhao? I'm eating up all content about him on Instagram lol. He makes me feel like I'm a teen again -- those days where Hana Yori Dango was everywhere, and I was obsessing over MatsuJun 🤣

I didn't watch it for the plot like many of us here. This is He Yu's breakout role lol.

Exactly, it was a long sexy music video and photoshoot to showcase his potential lol.

You forgot the most important part: the male lead with his Fast and Furious meets John Wick aura lol.

Seriously, I am guilty for solely watching this for He Yu, his flawless hairstyle, rugged outfits, and his sexy driving scenes 🙋‍♀️ So what plot are you talking about!?!?!? Lol.

Watch My Fated Boy. Even with the atrocious haircut, he still rocks the character lol.
