Oh right, now I remember folks around here get soft over the smallest bit of criticism. My mistake🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 No one’s even bullying Ai Mi… She’s a great actress and a pretty girl. I thought this was supposed to be a discussion space. Meaning people share opinions. If we’re not allowed to comment or say what we think, then what’s the point of having a forum at all? Might as well shut the whole thing down and start handing out participation trophies while we’re at it... 😂😂

That makes it even worse. If the bulk of the story is in high school, why couldn’t they cast someone who’s actually close to a high school age? You’re telling me they needed a 26-year-old man to play a teenager next to a girl who’s barely 18? 😂 It just proves the point the casting itself is the problem.

Acting or not, she’s still a minor. Pairing her with someone almost 30 is already inappropriate even without intimate scenes. Calling it “professionalism” doesn’t make the age gap any less uncomfortable. But y'all won’t understand that because you’re all so used to this kind of setup in C-dramas. That’s why nothing changes people like you keep romanticizing weird shits, no offense.

Why are you defending this? If it involves minors, it’s weird as hell, I don’t care what genre it is or where it came from. Dragging BL dramas into this doesn’t magically make this situation okay. And where did you even get the narrative that I excuse BL when minors are involved? I never said that. Don’t twist my words.

And of course international fans are speaking up because someone HAS to. We’re literally pointing out that Ai Mi is being exploited, and instead of addressing that, you’re acting like we’re seeking attention. How does that make sense? And again, where did I ever blame Ai Mi? I clearly said her parents and her agency are the ones at fault. Use your reading comprehension before jumping in.

Also, stop acting like “NRTA wouldn’t allow kissing scenes anyway” is some kind of defense. Whether they’d allow it or not doesn’t change the fact that pairing a barely legal girl with a grown man is already inappropriate. You don’t need a kissing scene for it to be uncomfortable. The age gap alone is the problem.

The double standard here isn’t from us it’s from people like you who suddenly pretend this setup is normal just because it’s a Cdrama. Minors being put in adult-coded roles is wrong across ALL genres. I’m consistent. You’re the one justifying it. 😆

I’m crying what is this 😂😂 They look like brother and sister 💀🙏🏼 A 17-year-old and a 26-year-old? What kind of weirdo thought this was even remotely okay? But I guess C-drama fans don’t care since this mess is so normalized at this point. Ai Mi’s agency and her parents are weird as hell for allowing this and exploiting her like crazy. She’s barely 18 and they keep pairing her with men pushing their 30s so disgusting. China is such a huge country full of smart people yet somehow everyone turns a blind eye to stuff like this because they’re too busy being parasocial with their Baobei 😂😂

Why do you type like you’re an AI

I’ve been silently reading the comments for the past two weeks, so here are my thoughts.

The reason people are calling the female lead "obsessed" is because the drama didn’t do a good job of showing their childhood story. We only got a few short clips of them as kids, but there was no real emotional connection built for the viewers. It feels rushed so her feelings come off as one-sided and extreme rather than meaningful or deep.

The same issue applies to the other characters too. The friendships weren’t developed properly, so the ml ends up feeling like an outsider. His bond with the group was never shown clearly, so when conflicts happen, it just seems like he’s being excluded for no reason. Don't even get me started with the last scene of Ep 18, what Yu Qiao said to the ml was so tone deaf and insensitive. There wasn’t even a bit of empathy. If you read the novel, you’d know the book version of Yu Qiao would never say that. He was understanding and careful with his words.

What a terrible writing here. Great job to the writers for removing all the emotional depth the novel had. 👏🏼👏🏼

The novel was female-centered and still managed to show both leads growing together. The drama already switched up so much, the characters don’t act the same, half the emotional depth is gone, and key scenes that built their bond got cut. so honestly… would adding more ml scenes really hurt? They’ve already strayed from the source, might as well do it properly instead of half-baking it.

I definitely will 🩷 that phrase alone tells me you're a toddler. Go play with some building blocks instead of throwing hate at a drama just because you don’t like the actors lol

grow up lmao

you two are just the same, no offense

Why are you always so negative? I’ve read some of your replies and you constantly come off as passive-aggressive. Like, calm down not everyone has access to Chinese platforms or the same level of knowledge about C-dramas as you 🥴 So weird

I get what you mean, but it’s a story about qingyu seeking justice in the first place, so of course the focus will be on that rather than romance

the mother and qingyu talked about why she chose to have three kids in the new episode

The discussion here is so toxic and chaotic. It’s honestly not that deep. If someone likes this drama, then that’s totally valid, and if someone doesn’t, that’s also fine. Everyone’s allowed to have their own opinion. Not every show will click with everyone, and that’s normal.

For the record, I love this drama. But that doesn’t mean everyone else has to feel the same. And it definitely doesn’t mean I need to convince anyone to like it too.

It’s exhausting how quick people are to fight over preferences, like it’s some kind of competition. We’re all just here to watch dramas, share thoughts, and have fun. No one’s opinion is the absolute truth, and it’s weird how some are acting like theirs is the only correct one. Let people vibe with what they vibe with.
