I was not confused. I figured it out by ep 11 all the relationships and can predict what will happen. I also read…
Well every drama has its own draggy story ... ABAY too. I am still waiting for the draggy part to be over at ABAY. Hopefully, around episode 15. Enjoy your drama.
it doesn't feel like slow burn to me but i can see how it would feel that way to some when she's trying to settle…
It's not slow burn romance at all ... I think it's going ok pace... but I think the drama can do so much better if they had given more couple screen time ... I mean I can understand that they already made huge improvements on the novel in this section. But they can do even better :-) by giving the main leads more screen time together. This is tougher for the writer because they have to create new materials.
For people who are sampling, they only watch a few episodes ... they are not patient to wait for ep 14 or 15 where the leads have more screen time together.
is it a slow burn to you? I’m so impressed for how fast everything is progressing I’m in ep 10 and usually…
Yes, I skipped A LOT in the first section of the novel .... just read enough to understand the context ... And as I said, they made it much better already.
is it a slow burn to you? I’m so impressed for how fast everything is progressing I’m in ep 10 and usually…
It's not that the romance is slow. It's just that I would like to see more main couple interaction instead of other things/people. How much time did we see the main couple have screen time together? for example in ep 11? Not too much. Just here and there at most 5minutes?
As I said, they made a lot of changes already so it's already much better than the beginning of the novel for me.
Usually people who sample dramas, they will only watch the first few episodes. Luckily, I already know the story, like the actress; otherwise, I would have given up too.
What I am trying to say to those people who sample this drama is that the story will be more interesting later on, less business, and more romance.
For people who are checking out this drama and wonder if it's worth it, this is one of those dramas that have a slow start (not in terms of romance but couple screen time).
I skipped a lot of the beginning of the novel when I read it because it's too much business related things and not a lot relating to the main couple.
This drama has already made it A LOT better in the beginning by changing the novel to allow more involvement with HT, the ML.
So I think if you are patient and wait for a better development later on, you will be rewarded. It has 40 episodes so they have to tell the story slowly ... it will be much better after 12, less fillers in the middle.
nobody understands how obsessed I am with this drama ,but why is the rating so low ?
It's low because not everyone who watches the drama has rated. Out of the 8000 supposedly watching this, only 550 have rated it. Some of these ratings are from people who have dropped the drama and rated it quite low.
Is it me or the acting of these two big actors Tan Song Yun and Xu Kai in here is awkward ????Dunno why hmmmmmmmmm
You can check out another drama Road Home or Master of My Own ... to compare. It is all personal opinions. Others' comments maybe biased especially if we like the actors.
Actually HT and Yichen both r Good. But the difference is what they r for Ji xing. As far as it seems like Yichen…
Yes, they are both good people... that's why she never really got angry with YC ... she even gave him the invested money and profit later on. She can see that the personalities/goals are different.
HT, from the novel and also drama, is a busy man. He doesn't have time do trivial stuff ... He runs an empire. So the mentality will be different from the YC, who does have free time to go dating, watch movies, and cooks. In fact, HT specifically tells JX that he doesn't have time to cook with her all the time. Once in a while is ok. It just works out better for her as she is also busy with her career and they are in the same field.
In Chinese, relationships are often like that ... I am an aunt of people who are much older than me.
It doesn't have to be a large family.You can refer to the book for more information.
This is how it works as an example: My dad, who marries late, was much younger than my uncle, who married early. My uncle had a son who also married early. So the son's son calls me aunt even though he's 10 years older than me.
In Chinese families, the relationship is very hierarchical ... we don't call these people cousins. We actually call them uncles/aunts. Unfortunately, I also became a great aunt ... feeling so old!
MDL doesn’t use straight averages. They have an “algorithm” they use that takes into account more than “fan…
That makes sense too!! I've seen weird numbers. And it is very frustrating.
I do believe the rating works based on the pure numbers of rating too. However, fishy accounts exist. Even Douban had to shutdown the rating of some dramas because they need tovalidate the accounts for rating.
Yesterday - 392 people voted, rating 7.6 Today - 417 people voted, rating 7.7
So I think it works if the people who actually watch the drama vote early. A lot of people who watch this drama are not like those fans who dedicated themselves to make sure the rating high for their idols. They more likely to be conservatives who want to wait for the drama to end and vote authentically.
I am one of those who rate early. I will change my rating if the drama doesn't work out.
When the fan base of an actor/actress is strong, I see everyone puts in the time to do the rating and write a…
It is a great drama. And it's unfortunate people rated drama low because they don't like the actress or actor. I see people who are not anti fans but even though they don't like the actress, they still try the drama because of the actor. Then they dropped the drama after a few episodes and rate it low.
I feel that it's more effective to get more people to rate the drama. There's got be more than 400 XK and Seven…
I think this is fine too ... it is the viewer's choice. But the problem I see is that fans of actors/actresses complaining about rating. The rating is based on the number of people rated. A lot of younger idols have very energetic fans. They can keep the rating high because they voted.
Another problem with the rating: episode 1 9.4/10 from 28 users Jul 02, 2024 Only 28 people voted compared to the overall rating : 400 people rated ... so the rating of 400 people is going to take control of the rating.

I've been following Xu Kai for a long time and almost each drama I have watched of his, the haters start bombarding…
When the fan base of an actor/actress is strong, I see everyone puts in the time to do the rating and write a review. So far there are only 400 votes. That means that the fans watching this show is either low or they are not voting compared to the people who don't like drama.
