Most of the time, as long as you can afford the fine, and you are not a government officer or work for a state company, you can have the second child. Especially in small cities or countryside, the fine is not that high and the carrying out of the policy is not as strict as in the big cities. I read somewhere, in Shanghai, the fine for the second kid was the sum of the whole year household income before tax, which is a lot, considering the high salary level in SH. Anyway, now there is no more one child policy, but people in big cities still do not want to have a second child. It is just simply too expensive to raise two kids in big cities!

Not sure if we are watching the same drama. FL is the one of the few FLs in cdramas, who know where is the boundary and are of high EQ. She pushes a lot to test the reaction. ML never gives her cold shoulder, so she pushes a bit more until she senses the resistance, then she immediately stops. ML is such a tough nut to crack, nobody can get through his shell if he/she interacts passively with him. So in the end, she fell first, he fell harder. That's why FL could do so many bold and a bit embarrassing things because it is what ML secretly enjoys seeing.

I might skip here and there during the rewatching. But my general feeling is that till ep21, everything looks normal.

Totally agree. Zhou Yiran is a very talented young actor and has great potentials. Hard to believe, that he is that extrovert boy in Fall into Your Smile. Checked his past projects. He got a whole list of dramas with high douban ratings like 7+, even 8+, which is extremely rare. And he has already joined not only projects of idol dramas but also crime drama and realistic family dramas, while most young actors of his age are still struggling to find better opportunities other than idol dramas. His role of the son of Zhou Xun in A Little Mood for Love is praised a lot online. That's Zhou Xun we are talking about. Giving performance to match her acting is surely not an easy task. I've added him to my list of actors-to-watch.

Hahahaha, I agree. He does look good in all kinds of attires. I think he has a broad shoulder, which helps to hold all the looks. And his dimples, another killer! Someone should compile a video of his sneaky smiles in this drama.

I think it is from the Chinese youku app. I don't think there will be any difference between international and chinese youku version though.

Up to ep21, viki. 22ep onward, if you are more into second leads, try viki. If you want to have a complete story line for the main leads, try Youtube or Youku. Or just watch and rewatch on all different platforms. :-D

They delete the pregnancy scenes in the end. The wedding is the ending in the viki version. WTH! And the ending of ep 23 is different too. They put the scene of the product release conference to the beginning of ep 24. The speech of ZLR is not there to match the ending monologue of SZZ. Feels weird. Sorry. viki, I want the full version with deleted scenes...

NOOOOO! Viki adds too many deleted scenes of the second leads, which is nice, but why they delete important scenes of the main leads.

Around 20:40, Guan Fang, Zhang Lu Rang and Su Zai Zai were in the airport to welcome Gu Ran back and the later scenes. In the youku version, it is directly the ktv scenes.

I'm rewatching on Viki. Did anyone notice, in ep22, the deleted scenes of Gu Ran and Jiang Jia are there in the viki version. I checked the youku version again. Nope, it is not there. Amazing! What's Viki's deal?!

Thanks! I was looking for a list like this. Perfect!!!

It's Love Before BC from Jay Chou.

Zhu Yi was on Hot Search of Weibo about her age a while ago. It is said that she is 20 years old now. She wrote the novel of Hidden Love at the age of 16. With the publication of multiple novels, adapted production of dramas, audio drams and Manhua, she is a multi-millionaire before 20. Not so sure if all these infos are accurate, but she is definitely very talented.

Actually, in this relationship, SZZ is the mature one. She knows exactly where is the boundary, when she should push and when she should pull back. Cuteness is just her facade. As later ML explained to his colleague, he is the clingy one, not her. It is totally correct. It is ZLR who needs SZZ in his life desperately. He knows that without him, SZZ could easily get another nice guy, but he definitely could not find another SZZ.

Yes, I do understand your concerns. Sign, unfortunately, there are not many places online (outside of China) to gossip about this kind of shipping topics.

Thank you! Really nice summary of the NiuDi shipping. You should really open a discussion thread for it. :-)

Yeap. I think people are slowly calming down from the frustration of the ending and giving a rational rating now.

DouBan is the most used and referred rating website in China. They list ratings of domestic and international movies, dramas, books, all kinds of shows and documentaries. For C-Entertainment, douban is one of the most important ratings to look at. Currently, over 80k people have given their rating for TSL and the result is 7.2/10. It is considered actually a good score since on Douban, such romance-centric fantasy dramas tend to get low ratings. Over 7 is considered good. Over 8 is very good. TSL had 7.4/10 till the airing of the last episode. The OE dragged the rating down to 7.1 over one night.

Haha, DouBan rating goes up, from 7.1 to 7.2. Hope it can go back to 7.4.

Thanks for the clarification. It's even funnier now. Three merges into one. Hahahaha😂
