Yeah that would make sense- use a loophole. Calling herself XG would have made things complicated since her main objective with Lin was probably to be future Mrs DOCTOR Lin (considering how she conveniently avoided him after the accident).

Confession is basically Planner part A 😉

Actually if we really think about it, Plan A was whatever he was planning back in 2011 (he said "I have a plan" to his friend) 🥲

I think it helps that the ML himself is under the impression that the FL rejected him once years ago so he’s being a bit cautious unlike with most cocky “CEO” MLs?

Then again, the guy is so meticulous, it wouldn’t be surprising if he has a planner stashed somewhere filled with all his dating - marriage plans itemized🤭

Ohhh…I thought the friend misunderstood that she was Nie’s daughter. Didn’t think she would sink that low enough to actually introduce herself to the friend as XG.🤦‍♀️ Or did she pretend to be “his daughter” but didn’t use XG’s name perhaps?

The real challenge comes up if ep 32-36’s express pass is released along with ep 31. MDL will be a nightmare filled with spoilers/ complaints/ praise while us poor Netflix users will have to wait patiently for a few extra days/ fight the temptation to watch it elsewhere🙈

Netflix follows the VIP schedule since they normally don’t have an express pass unlike with Tencent. If you are comparing it with the pirate site’s uploads, the pirate site probably has access to the SVIP episodes 🙈

This pace isn’t that bad TBH. In the past Netflix has had even 4 episodes or so delays.😅

The beginning is quite slow but once the ML and FL meet in ep 4-5, the drama gets more interesting. Corporate side story has its ups and downs depending on your interest in the industry (PV during the early 2010s).

SML is your typical cliche pity party. The female opponent (not sure if you can call her SFL since she’s not mentioned in the top 5) will most likely be an irritating pain in the ass.

The story is not mind blowing so far but the slow burn between the MC is entertaining and feels natural. Since there is no rich CEO- POOR assistant trope here, their dynamic is interesting and feels fresh to me. Both leads are smart and grounded so they don’t come off as arrogant/ vapid. Their actions/ reactions are justifiable usually and at the same time they are both self aware enough to rectify their mistakes without any unnecessary drama.

There is one key misunderstanding from the past that hasn’t been addressed yet as of ep 18 so it will be interesting to see how the couple will confront it once the time comes.

Did the daughter actually pretend to be XG?? I thought people just assumed she was Nie’s daughter since even her clique from a few episodes back seemed to know about her “situation” 🙈

The writer effectively buried Xu alive with this one scene 🙈

TMAI🙈

The angsty episodes aren't out yet TBH. They'll be out later this week/ next week most likely.
(31st -3rd jan based on the calendar schedule in the discussion panel)

Yes, you are correct
2013 based on the wedding invitation. Currently we are in February 2013 more or less.

It's 2013 based on the wedding invitation :)

They actually do look a bit alike at first glance if you don't focus 🙈

(I was wondering for 2 episodes why the cousin was playing cupid so badly trying to set up XG with all his guy friends until I checked the scene again 🤦‍♀️)

Yes! I hope this is the reason in a way. Imagine how guilty XG would have felt if the accident was because she skipped a blind date/ forgot him? At least this way, she won't try to take any unnecessary blame🙈 Then again I can only imagine how Lin would feel once he finds out the whole truth 🥲

And I bet Miss Delulu will be a huge thorn soon. We might end up missing the days we had to endure with Xu's self pity since she seems way more dangerous than him. 😅😅😅

Yes, you are probably right! The mum seems like a real piece of work if she's been able to manipulate the father for so long.

SML will be a problem I guess but I'm hoping (delusionally) that he won't be a major headache like most recent SMLs🙈 Perhaps the coworker might change his wishes? Then again, I read in the comments that his book version didn't really have much presence in the main story and he ended up rich and alone🙈

It will refresh on either Monday or Tuesday.

(NF refreshes Cdrama episode calendars every week usually)

I think the blind date was supposed to be with the half/ step sister but Lin mistook it as XG. The friend only mentions that "Nie's daughter" fell in love with him at first sight. So it makes sense why he's mad that XG has no idea who he is (and also explains why she doesn't know him). Since the other girl too mentioned how Nie took her to a gala 2 years ago and XG ignored her even then, the timeline fits. Knowing how arrogant she is, it's not hard to imagine her losing interest in Lin once she found out his accident ended his career which is why he never met her after the accident eventhough the friend promised to that she'll visit Lin soon while he was recovering.🙈

(It also would make sense how Miss Delulu will obviously try to ruin the MC's relationship since Xu is too passive to be thaaat annoying (for now).
What do you think?

Awesome! I was trying to figure it out since all the vehicle stickers I saw so far had 2013 on then.

Was trying to figure out how did Lin manage to recover from his accident/ depression + be an excellent employee within 2 years.
