I would love to forget it and start it again :D Have a great time with this drama!

I don't want it to end! I love this drama.

They're not in the story really. It's all about main couple and their perspective.

The breakup scene wasn’t as bad as I imagined. They were both at fault. She could have tried from the start to persuade him about a long-distance relationship for two years, instead of bringing it up in the middle of a fight - especially when she had lied to him the whole time about going with him. They both said some harmful things to each other, and he was just as unreasonable as she was. I’m fine with this breakup. They both needed time apart to sort out their feelings and lives.

EP 23 spoiler below.

I love them too. I have a list of almost 200 dramas with this trope that I’ve seen :D It’s really difficult to find a decent noona romance but China has produced some good ones. This year, though, has been quite disappointing for me in this department - especially when it comes to k-dramas.

I think in most noona/jiejie romances MLs are like that.

I also think that what she did in the drama is extremely cruel, and I can't blame him for being an asshole when he sees her again. The thing is, in the novel their relationship is hardly a healthy one. She takes him in when he's like 15 or 16, so I'm glad that they changed it here. There is no breakup in the novel but they argue a lot over silly stuff and miscommunication, and instead of talking it over, they're just having hate sex lol (he was already a university student then). I remember Li Wu saying something like, only when they're having sex does he feel like an equal to her. So I can understand why they wanted a separation time in the drama, it's much more appropriate and gives both of them time to grow and spend time apart.

Yes, but I guess they needed more drama :) In the novel he could have gone abroad but he decided to stay for her and was still very successful in his academic career.

Yes. They're married and have a daughter.

There was no breakup in the novel. They practically got married the moment he turned 22.

Yes. They were madly in love.

He sent her an invitation by mistake, but she attended anyway just to show him that she had also moved on. I don’t think they’ll do this in a drama because here he is probably already married due to the pregnancy, and it’s around two years after her divorce, so he already has a child.

No, in the novel, after the divorce, she only attends his wedding and tells him that she's with Li Wu . After that he's not in the story.

In the novel he’s gay but here she didn’t explicitly say it.

EP20 – What an awesome episode! I was smiling throughout it. They're so cute together. I really liked how well the director and actors captured the awkwardness of the first moments and days of a relationship.

I loved it. I read it a couple of times already.

EP17 - I love Cen Jin's father! Such a wonderful and wise character. Everyone should have someone like him.
EP18 - the most interesting and juicy part starts here. I can't wait to see the development of their relationship.

If this is what happened in the drama then she was really cruel to him. I hope she'll give him a proper apology before they end up together.

It's 10/11 years in a drama. In the present timeline I think they're 27/37.
