Kinda disappointed with the last episode.The powerplant in 2025, the CGI is so bad... Yak!!And in 2028, Lin was…
ZX did move on (in his own way).
Having a young kid at 38 after being married for a long time isn't really a surprise TBH. XG would have been around 32-33 when she gave birth. Lin is a master planner and XG was so young when she got married. I highly doubt they'd be in a rush to start a family as soon as they got married given how huge their ambitions were at the time. They probably planned it that way.
The lack of effort into ageing them was kind of funny ngl. Only ZX looked a bit different but that's also only because he looked less miserable for a change.
Do we know if they had a huge budget? The CGI is surprisingly terrible considering we have Cdramas with amazing fantasy backgrounds 🙈
Zhuang Xu was looking much better in his last scene. I didn't find him good looking at first but they fixed his…
I loved the change too. He has dark circles but he looks more healthy somehow. The red eyed "the world hates me" vibe is no longer present- a nice touch to let the audience know that he has moved on.
Even the fact that he still hasn't said those 3 little words no longer feels offensive since he's right. His silence is the best thing he can give her.
How long was she away in the last episode? Was it ever mentioned? They both said, a long time.
Didn't mention if I'm not mistaken.
It's probably just a week - a month unless they just mean the constant back and forth she might have had to travel between the 2 countries throughout the project. Since they are still obsessed with eachother, even a few days must feel like eternity 🙈
what episode does he start perusing her and what episode do they actually get together? also is there any break…
Honestly IMO the ML has been reluctantly / unconsciously persuing her since ep 5. I mentioned it as reluctant because it's kind of clear he doesn't want to but his curiousity/ frustration from the past eggs him into it? He just can't help himself
His intention to pursuit her gets more noticable from ep 9 onwards-the morning after their confrontation at the hospitalized. It's noticable in the way he interacts with his friend and their hints.
The FL is aware of the ML's intensions from ep 11 or so onwards.
I’m just about to start this drama, can anyone give me some insight about the character of the female lead?
She isn't a damsel in distress.
What I like about her is that she isn't easily manipulated nor does she have any major "noble idiocy" self sacrificial characteristics.
Since she is 20- 21 years old (first 3 episodes) when the drama starts, some of her actions might come off as naive due to lack of life experience (she's from an influential family). But we can see how she blossoms with time.
She's quite blunt and straight forward so misunderstandings don't get dragged usually. That being said, she's quite gentle, quirky, and loving depending on who she's with.
Misunderstandings wise, there's only 1 that's integral to most of the plot. I found it interesting.
The couple is well written. They have a partnership kind of relationship so it's lovely to watch them interact as equals. It's a Rich ML x Rich Heiress relationship.
Cons (not really a negative point TBH but since you need a fair assessment): She can get a little temperamental at times but honestly it's quite understandable if you look at it in her POV. She's also a bit impulsive at the beginning of the drama but it tones down as the episodes progress.
Why is Shine On Me being banned in Vietnam over nine dash line clash with China? I was thinking it would be because…
The borderline issue comes up quite often from what I've seen since several other dramas/ movies have been previously banned or scenes have been edited for similar reasons.
May I know who was the girl with XG when she came back from her trip on the last episode?
Lin's cousin (we briefly saw her at the Sheng birthday party). She's the one Lin asked Grandfather Sheng to groom as the next successor after Bok Kai's son proved to be a poor loser with no sportsmanship values.
I think most old K-romcoms pretty much cover this topic just with slight variations. I'm still relatively new…
IKR?! I know what JQX did was harsh but I cannot bring myself to dislike him. He went through so much at such a young age 🥲
Rewatch 🌧❄️- haha it does sound like the perfect combination ngl. Coincidentally I actually rewatched OG over the weekend (waiting for SOM was just too difficult) 🙈🙈🙈
I know OG has mixed reviews but honestly I unintentionally had the best experience ever since I watched OG while it was being aired along with The Princess Royal. So it felt like I was watching a multiverse where the royal couple's "third" life unfolds in modern China while simultaneously trying to save the crown in an ancient dynasty.
There was this one dialogue in TPR in particular I really loved where the FL told the ML that she wished in their next life she'd be the one who'd be pursuing/ waiting patiently for him because she kept hurting him.....I saw this episode around the time the FL in OG was searching for the ML so it just felt very serendipitous 🤭
If you haven't watched TPR, I totally recommend it. MaiMai is so badass in it (including ZLH) and the best part is we don't get any unnecessary censorship friendly endings (considering it's a second life romance).
I don't remember her weighing herself or even worrying about weight but I think it's pretty typical for women…
They did it in ep 4-6 if i remembwr correctly.
It was when XG joined the company and they were joking about the terrible food at the cafeteria/ discussed about her weight loss after falling off the balcony.
Can someone explain why Zhuang Xu hesitated in his relationship with Xi Guang even after knowing she didn't purposefully…
Financial issues mixed with an inferiority complex.
XG is the sole heir of a major gorup (basically like a chaebol family) whereas ZX's had a lot of financial issues. Since he felt he wasn't at the same level as XG, he chose the immature way to deal with his issues.
His reasoning for not wanting to start a relationship during college is understandable, but it's the way he treated her after that kind of sealed his fate. To make things worse, everytime he did try to connect, things kept going wrong for him. But again, because he didn't try hard enough, he lost his second chance.

A realistic cautionary tale- specially since he didn't chamge into a super villain unlike most cdrama obsessive smls.
Tencent just gave an advanced pass for their subscribers (in exchange for an extra payment)
It was when XG joined the company and they were joking about the terrible food at the cafeteria/ discussed about her weight loss after falling off the balcony.
The VIP and other paid OTT subscribers have to wait till the 11th for it to end (1 per day upload schedule)
Don't they show how Nie involved in his grandchild's life? (Haven't watched the last few eps yet)
