oNbody

nah dont play me like that, ususally oblivious and naive goody two shoes mc's dont figure out the starting plot until the final episodes. And why dont the elders pursue the matter of the head of family + the next in line getting killed, they just chill and appoint the next head?? Thats so strange, they obviously already know the whole story. This plot screams " we are going to sacrifice ourselfs for the mc to continue his special butterfly existence ". not because its logical but because the screen writer decided it to be so.
and just because Zi Yu is show to do detective work and often in deep though, doesnt mean he got smarts, he is just sailing with the flow, and everything gets eventually revealed.

Watched up to ep6, really wanted to enjoy another good drama with Shu Xin, but naaaaah, pass on this one . I dont care about strong or weak characters, but dumb and naive is a pass whenever its a main character that keeps this trait for too many episodes.

thx for the reply.

Please spoiler me! I am on beginning of ep4 (14m) and Gong Zi Yu seems kind of stupid, is he still playing pretend or is this the actual character???

I really like the atmosphere and really really like the martial arts so far, and all the other characters seem to be interesting. But if a MC in drama is low iq to this level I usually drop it, no regrets.

Is he only at the start like this, or is he still playing the "useless son"? , and one ep later timejump and he learned his lessons or something like that ?

same here, plot twist at the end was good but I mostly skipped through ep 10 - 16.

I like to see posts like this, where the complaint is basically a praise to the actor or actress that played his/her character very well xD thumbs up

Lighthearted, rational (mostly), pretty good overall

It was good, a little too long, but the cast and characters are great. I enjoyed the ost and the atmosphere.

Its okay, a little funny, good characters, and good cast. Surprisingly good and deep 4 episodes in the end.

haha dpk_11 must be a troll. this is 120% tearjerker (I only cried big manly tears for a short while), BUT its only at the very beginning and I believe two other scenes later on. Everything else is just fluff, piece and happiness.

Meet Yourself

True and real

Thanks, I have it on my "to watch list" already, but there are still too many things to watch hah

yea, thats what was so impressive to me

daaaamn, I looked it up and its actually top 7 fr. people have sure different tastes

The Photo section kind of spoiler it, but whatever. I think it would be more interesting if the main character roles were reversed. The music is good. Story and production... well, cringe and cute. Closer to the end I skipped some parts, could have been shorter.

ep 19 at 11 min was the best haha, basically "get your shit together boooii" hahaha

good to know, thaks

Lets be real, the story is at most a 7/10, BUT everything else in this novel adaptation is top-notch. From the atmosphere, music, progression and setting, to the cast and production. Especially both the female and male leads is what carries 70% to 80% of this drama rating to a 9 - 9.5 .

First Chen Zhe Yuan, his character is the perfect mix of the most bitter and darkest chocolate and the sweetness of cotton candy. An example of a humble, disciplined and determined human to almost transcendent extent .
And Zhe Yuan portrays those qualities on a remarkable level on screen. Personally this is my first time watching him, but after this I will make sure to watch some other dramas with him in the main role. (..also funny thing for me is, Zhe Yuan expressions resemble a lot Ahn Nae Sang acting (like a younger version) *haha*, and I remember Nae Sang for a lot of villain roles, so I had a more negative impression of the character Duan Jia Xu at the start "xD") .

Zhao Lu Si, daaaaaaaamn. In this role her character is a total airhead, gentle and insecure but also a little shrewd and astute (except for romance...).
Idk, how should I describe it? It felt like Lusi entered a different kind of level in this role, a higher plane in comparison to her other roles. To be fair it is a modern setting in comparison to most of her other roles, but still... the expressions felt carefree and captivating, and a lot of times like it was off-script.

To wrap thing up: A great cast, pleasing to the eye environment, a good story pace, gentle romance and no rage inducing plot-armor plot. In the end we are left with a few unresolved questions, but nothing that breaks my impression of the show, and if I truly wanted to know the answers I probably would read the novel.

This was definitely worth my time watching and if you like the cast I recommend to give this drama a try.

I assume most of the people with negative emotions about this drama stay here precisely because they want to like it, but there was something that bugged them.
In some countries, like for me, it just finished releasing with dubs and for those who were hoping for a change in the aspect that they didn't like, but there was none they are just left with frustration and they let it out here. Which is perfectly normal in my opinion.

As somebody who is browsing the web it is mostly my responsibility to determine if somebody made a well reasoned comment, or just left their based opinion.

But honestly this drama is so overwhelmingly good that no amount of hate raters will be enough to drop the rating significantly. Every other malicious use of rating manipulation should be well in the scope of the MDL admins to handle.

I believe they mentioned at some point that they sold their house for this. And I don't know how the law works in China, but the cost for killing somebody is generally cheaper than injuring somebody permanently where you have to pay for their existence. Also he paid it off only after his internship and later working at the gaming company. Even the entry level payment of a programmer of his calibre is probably more than 100k a year.

And Duan Jia Xu mentioned, at the deathbed of his father, that if he didn't hit and run, he would be already out of prison ( at that point it would be approx. 10-15 years) . I assume the reputation damage is valued higher than the cost of somebody's life insurance in China.

Edit: also this is not a reality show, there got to be some leeway for the story to progress.

DAMN, I am glad I read this beforehand, I hate those "everything was a dream / everything was a story in a book that one of the lead actually writes etc.". In the end I feel like I was the stupid one for watching a fiction of a fiction.. wish there was a tag for this , like, "inception" or something.
