i really like about the show how the leads get to become friends and build a foundation of trust, understanding, and loyality without entirely dismissing that they do find each other attractive. like yes they like each other but they don’t immediately fall in love, we actually get a nice and strong build up to their relationship as they get to know and understand each other! it’s really nice and mature.
so far, not very much. might change as the story continues though!
second male leads are usually supporting characters
he is the second male lead as he’ll be sort of a competitor/rival to the male lead. he may not have as much screentime right now, but that can always change as the story develops. for now, i think he is intrigued by the fl, maybe physically attracted to her, but i wouldn’t say he’s romantically interested in her at all. he seems to be using her to stirr some feelings in the ml since the two guys are rivals. but i’m not any wiser than the rest since his appearance so far has been sporadic😄🤞🏼
For now, all we have to go by is that Dad thinks it’s a difficult profession.
true, but that was a glorified position tbh. she was treated like a lap dog instead of pursuing a proper career. i'm glad she's at the male lead's company now, working andliving her dream. she may make less money for now, but at least what she does fulfills her!

i mean during their argument he does say that she initially kind of gatekept her major from him because she knew he would oppose to it.
but i also found the sequence hard to watch. i guess i can see where he's coming from, but on the other hand... the fl resigned from her job, found a source of income rather quickly by renting out her apartment, then she found a job (she actually wants to do) and thus secured a STABLE source of income. All in all, she solved all her problems herself, and she did so quickly and smartly without compromsing. Bummer that he did not acknowledge that at all actually :(
maybe it'll be a little bit of both? we'll have to see👀
i mean it certainly is physical attraction since they have only met a few times and barely spoken about anything of consequence. but the fl is attractive, from what he has seen quite dedicated to her work, so yeah. i think he's attracted, just not romantically!
eyyyyy his smile disappearing after she bows to not show how smitten he is ... ahhhh the details 🚬🚬 ep. 9 and 10 have crack in themm they're the best so far!!
I don’t think Zhao’s (FL’s best friend) husband is gonna cheat on her, but there’s a potential that they…
he's emotionally (and mostly physically) unavailable to her, which is a problem. plus, she's usually the one reaching out, so i can see your point honestly! i hope she leaves him, he's a very passive husband and not very supportive. that's why i prefer the girls' friendship because it's much more balanced to me! :)
on ep.10 rn and i need to stop to say that xiao rou and hu xiu are the perfect example of why female friendships/relationships will always be special because both of them are so mature, encouraging, and supportive of each other and have such wonderful emotional intelligence. truly, the emotional labor they do is so nice to see, what a nice friendship.
this also makes me realize how supportive xiao rou is towards her husband, but she's always the one reaching out. she's basically doing all the emotional heavy lifting for the sake of his start-up. but the true "love" story for me rn is the girls' relationship. platonic soulmates are real!!
