Hahaha, I love the ancestral home though I wouldn't want to live in one, it's eerie :D I love those antiques in…
Yes, you have a point about the ancestral home that can never be sold and all the antiques should remain within the home. But then, if you look at it from another perspective, aren't all these a burden to whoever inherits it? Like Zhou Sheng Chen who hates to live there, now he has an obligation to take care of everything because he inherits the property. He can't live a life he wants, simple and focus in the things he loves. He also laments that he has to embroil in all these family politics he hates. So depending how you look at it, it can be a blessing or a curse. For me, I'm from the 99% poor people group. I don't care about all this wealth which can turn ugly among family members :)
Love the Cars in this drama between the Mercedes Maybach, Mercedes S and C classes, the red ferrari and the Aston…
Hahaha, I love the ancestral home though I wouldn't want to live in one, it's eerie :D I love those antiques in it and I might auction them off to put the money in better use if I happen to be the owner :D
Haven't you actually watched it yet? It is still a very good drama with very little intimate scenes, you know…
Yeah, I think by the end of this drama, I don't even remember what has happened because nothing stands out here. Furthermore, I have a brain of a goldfish :D

Ahh... now I see why people hate Ren Jialun's portrayal. I've not read the novel so I can't compare, and don't know it's been changed. I thought the Zhou Sheng Chen character is supposed to be a bashful, unromantic, even boring person. With that in mind, I thought Ren Jialun plays quite well. I didn't realize he's the one to change the character to fit his taste.
So this drama was supposed to show how much these two love and trust each other, all their intimacy with each other, like all the pend up yearning for thousands of years, now released like a flood. So, basically it's the script writing that has deviated from the novel, rendering it incohesive. Then we have only the script writer to blame for allowing the actor to change her script.

I have watched all the released episodes, up to episode 22. I don't think it's the actor's problem. The Zhou Sheng Chen character is supposed to be unromantic and boring, that Ren Jialun delivers 100%. He's supposed to feel embarrassed easily and uneasy with open intimacy. This has nothing to do with Ren Jialun's marriage status, it is how this character is supposed to be. My issue is the lack of plot. What is this drama about? Simply a chronicle of daily life of a married couple? Then I can look at marriages around me, they are more or less the same :)
Allen Ren unprofesionalism is the let down to me! He should not accept romance drama. He don't have commitment…
No, I don't feel it's the actor. I feel it's the poor script, with no story, no plot. The characters are actually pretty well written, but then, we're not here to watch the characters, we want a story.
After my last question, what's the plot, with some wonderful answers, I can safely conclude that, there's no plot, just a chronicle of daily life of a married couple that looks very similar to many marriages I know, nothing outstanding or unique here. The only consolation for me is the rather realistic depiction of a large, traditional Chinese family with extended household which can be very familiar to many Chinese viewers. But then some life dramas also portray life in traditional homes with large extended families. Therefore, there is nothing special here. I was lead to believe it's a continuation of "One and Only" but until now, I don't see any connection except the repeated references to that story by Shi Yi in her voice over work. Its rating wouldn't have been this high if not because of the two big stars. Story wise, it's a let down I'm afraid.
Even i was shocked (when i started to watch the drama for first time) to see cheng lang played games secretly.…
That is so hilarious when Cheng Lang plays in the classroom with his head bend all the way down as if he is sleeping. Only Shiyi knows Cheng Lang's addiction. And that's also the reason why Cheng Lang is so interested in studying computer science; he's simply intrigued by all this programming stuff. In the end, he owns his own online shopping company - all these probably due to the little Gameboy machine he plays in high school :D
China now limits children in playing online games. Do you know both Cheng Lang and Lu Shiyi are avid gamers? And yet Cheng Lang is the valedictorian and Lu Shiyi later becomes a doctor :D
Everything is natural. FL has a crush on 2ML but he likes another girl. FL is heart broken and ML is always there for her, bickering with her. ML is also the type that can't show his emotion easily as he always says the opposite things to cover himself. The relationship is one-sided between ML and FL but very natural and lovely. Though there's no actual romance between FL and ML, it is very romantic whenever they are together :)
I don't care about kissing and their relationship, but it's already halfway through and they still haven't shown us the real thing, ie. how they find out about their past life, who are all these antagonists, are they also from past life, etc. .... Or their relationship we're seeing now is the real thing?
