According to Wen Shuo, he didn't even know about his own wedding. They ambushed him.
Oh yeah, I got that part. Just thought they could have used WS wedding to get HY down the mountain instead. Then *bam* an epic reunion of HY seeing DZY for the first time since he recovered vs the bland reveal we got.
I get why they chose it the way they did, but it didn't have the wow factor. Especially so because they had to get back to having WS wedding vs it being about HY and DZY reunion, if that makes any sense.
Oh well, it was a decent drama--just had so much potential to be more. Up the romance at least 1 or 2 notches or even have it be 40 eps, and let HY and DZY have a decent romance arc.
So much potential for an epic reunion instead we got the most flat and anti-climatic one. 😏 They could have just said it was Wen Shuo’s wedding from the start.
At least we got some sweet moments from Han Ye and Wen Shuo cause we sure as heck didn’t get it between the leads. 🤣
Pretty much skim through all the episodes just to watch ML and his buddies--they are the only saving grace (Aunty Qi too!). The FL played a similar self righteous role in Invisible Life and is the epitome of stupidity. Her role here is another combo of horrible actress + terrible character. I just cannot comprehend how and why?! the ML is so head over heels for the FL.
If you like Republican era Fall in Love is far superior, and the FL is what I would call smart and courageous. I still love ML and will finish with hopes for a happy ending because I love SD and want him to have a happy ending even if his role is overly controlling and obsessive. LOL
I think 29 episode not enough, it's should have some episode at least 2 or 4 episode, feel there was need more…
i think they could have at least added ep 30--even a 5 minute closure for the other couples and then just life after Papa Lin left. It was nice closure but wouldn't have minded a little more fluff and sweet moments in between the time skip. Even so, their happily ever after was SO sweet.
I am convinced XZ was treating this like his actual relationship. Too busy in real life to be in a legit relationship, so might as well as treat this like a real one--getting all these sweet moments (AND kisses) for free. LOL
I'm having fun reading comments because I didn't realize people get so invested... lol Also because of this drama I am a XZ fan! Aside from good looking his acting is pretty good! Looking forward to watching more of his dramas.
I think both have their faults but also both deserve empathy. We are I guess "outsiders" so we see the overall picture and at the same time we all think differently so form our own opinions.
Perhaps at the moment his world came crashing down because of his career, he needed space to think. Thats what he needed. For LZX, her world also came crashing down because of love and what she needed was answers. Just before his abrupt attitude change due to to his career issues, he talked about their future and his hopes for them (he was also the one who initiated the meeting with the parents).
In the asian culture parental acceptance is a HUGE deal. [Heck it's modern day in America but my brother in law called my 2 uncles that live in another state to ask for my sisters hand in marriage as this was important to my mom].
Anyway, a 30 year old establish man makes these promises/implications of a future, marriage etc. then BAM "I can't make these promises right now" with no real explanation. How would you, a young 20 year old feel? Especially since it was portrayed she doesn't have the same level of confidence in their relationship?
How to solve this? Maybe he could have just said, "I have some things going on that I am not ready to talk about but I need time and space". Maybe not hurtful/fighting words like "YOU don't always have to have answers". OR he could have just flaked on the meeting altogether--that might've been easier to salvage than what he said to them. LOL.
Sure, she could have been more "mature" and aware that he's going through something and just given him space. But you'll see in later previews that he realized how many times she's waited for him without getting upset. It's always been the "immature" girl whose waited with no complaints. I mean real life--who here can honestly do what she does? I'm type A and get annoyed when people are 5 minutes late. does that make me immature? No, it means I have needs and expectations but others might be different.
It all came down to where they each placed their importance in matters and how they reacted with what they needed. His career was everything to him while her career was important, I think we can all see her family and their relationship held a little more weight. So as sad as he was, she was just as sad--they both deserve a hug (that patient's family deserved that kick from LZX!)
End of the day, TOOL is a drama that will likely have a happy ending because the writers will play out how they each meet these needs. i.e. Dr. Gu learning to communicate as an introvert/perfectionist and LZX learning to be patient and maybe not listening to her crazy friends' advice LOL
Just enjoy it for what it is --a drama with hopefully just more fluff and kisses until the end :D
P.S. GX and SS are annoying but seeing their relationship fizzle in that way, I think they deserve a happy ending too
Sidenote--I think people like to think they are mature in their early 20s but theres a reason why not many people are still in the same relationship as their 20s. You have different needs that couldn't be met/compromised thus falling out of love and possibly ending on a bad note.
Was really loving this as an easy fun watch, but the aunt and cousin are driving me insane!! It's like overly ridiculous and old school to have such characters. I may have to stop here, and wait for all episodes to be released. This way I can binge watch and skip over the annoying aunt and cousin---otherwise I might get super annoyed with the FL for being that unrealistic of a pushover.
