I think it should 8, but well not many people like this kind of story...
So before I watch the ending, I read some comments saying it had a bad ending because the FL and ML didn't end up together. But after I finished watching it, I questioned: did we watch with the same subtitles?
Some people even said their relationship was just a one-sided love. Tbh, I don't see it that way at all. Both Euna and Taeseo definitely liked each other right until the ending.
It's just that they both have egos and TERRIBLE COMMUNICATION. It's pretty obvious when they were younger and Euna chose to focus on her career. Then, as adults, Taeseo kept misunderstanding things and assumed Euna still had feelings for her ex, mostly because of his jealous guy ego. He didn't even consider the possibility that everything Euna doing had memory with her dad, especially since she was all alone without her parents.
If people think the ML's situation was sadder, I think the FL had it same. She had to take care of her comatose dad completely alone in young age, without a mom or any family, all she could hope for was his recovery. When her dad finally got better, she wanted to try chasing her dreams, but their lack communication make them break up. And sadly, her dad passed away. And for those few years, she lived entirely alone without any family. If I was her, I definitely would have leaned on the SML to survive too, considering he was the only guy by her side at the time. But even so, her feelings for Taeseo stayed strong until the very end.
I think the reason this drama is called Still Shining is because the writer wanted to show that "no matter how old you get, your first love will always keep shining."
And honestly, I'd say it’s an open ending. At the ending, Taeseo basically proposed to Euna by saying, "If you ever need someone to be with in the future, you can call me."
I'm watching an edit on XHS and reading the comments, and I don't know why, maybe because the music is sad, so…
Aah I’m not Esther, but I really touched by your comment. I’m also fan who happened to like her after watching reality show Let’s Go Skiing (actually I watched it because Lin Yi hehe)
From what I’ve seen, Esther isn’t the type who shows her sadness openly. Even though people say she’s a bad actress (can’t act, selfish, or anything), I actually think she’s one of the most professional artists. She doesn’t want to show her private life, including her sadness. She only wants to show her skills and how hard she works—people know she comes from a wealthy family because they di it themselves.
And sometimes, when I see her smile, I can see a hint of sadness in her eyes. I’m sure in the back, she feels sad quite often too. But she still chooses to show that she’s strong and hardworking. And you know what? Her hobby of fishing shows that she’s actually a calm person.
I believe that even when she feels sad, she can stay calm. She doesn’t want to show or “sell” her sadness, and instead she chooses to keep moving forward.
That’s why I think she’s such a cool and professional artist. Like Heyu said in Thai Sweet, Esther may look girly, but she can actually be a knight.
That’s why haters feel jealous. Most people don’t like seeing someone who always seems okay. They want others to look miserable so they can feel their own lives are better. Especially nowadays, when the economy is unstable😒
Well, I hope those haters realize that there’s no point in disliking or hating someone. It’s better to focus on improving ourselves so life can be more comfortable.
You know, the 40-minute episodes honestly didn’t feel long at all… this is the first time I’ve watched a drama and didn’t even realize I’d finished all aired episodes! I guess this drama really takes its title seriously, the speed while watching felt so real, and before I knew it, I’d fallen in love with it 😂
Esther Yu is the one paid weibo hot search and collaborate with Yang Yang Paparazzi to trend those accusations…
So? Why are you yelling "I don’t like her!" In the places where a lot of people like her? Lol. Anyway, it’s common knowledge that people spend money to advertise or promote something. Even regular people do it all the time. And besides, xukai not even an actor in this drama, why are you trying to get attention here? You weren’t invited, get out
