Since the drama is coming soon, from my own experience, I suggest you who haven't read the novel yet NOT TO READ…
Most likely she didn't receive the message for some reason ... that's my guess. If you look at the trailer, she seems surprised that he ignored her? Like what did I do wrong ... anyone else get this feeling?
Advantage: 1) can understand the characters/their perspectives better 2) won't feel so anxious waiting for the next episodes 3) the novel was a really good read ...
Disadvantage: If you are too hang up on certain points and feel bad about them, don't read ... Throughout the drama there will be this nagging feeling and wishing that they didn't change the story (for example, I was very disappointed that they changed The Double story because of Chinese censorship about reincarnations/souls swapping etc ...) And that feeling remains with me even though the entire story was good based on the change.
Oh my this is a totally different story. Perhaps it's not a good idea to read the novel?
Love Like the Galaxy ... for example, lots of nuances that you would miss if you didn't read the novel. This ABAY is another one ... is a big miss if not reading the novel. How the leads feel each time they do something. I also went ahead and read Love's Ambition short story even though it's completely different from the drama. I think I would have missed so much if I didn't get the intention of the author, who is much better than the screen writer. And yes, that feeling of being let down is there if it didn't work out.

I still say read the novel ... there's no need to avoid reading just because there are people who are hang up on certain aspects of it. You will miss a good novel if you don't read it and just settle for the drama. This writer has other novels too ... they are also good.
And yes, a big warning that there is a feeling of being let down ... whether it's the screen writers or actors ... some just don't live up to the intentions.
Oh yea it’s definitely more approachable. He liked her initially during university days, so that means that…
yes, that's the one I read ... really good story! I just finished watching the drama. They also changed the story so I was a little disappointed at the ending ... I feel for you! Sometimes it's hard when you really like some points in the novel and they changed them.

This is a good point ... In China, especially ... I feel relationships are not really black and white. We have seen our Chinese friends sending their new borns to China to be raised by grandparents. I could never do that! But I think the cultural revolution and practicality shape social context too.

It's intense pressure everywhere. I just read a comment from the Korean director of Lovely Runner ... he said rating is so important because so much investment is on the line.

Oh no, really! Only for Love is not good from the reviews ... But they also said that there is no couple chemistry between the leads in that one. I didn't watch it because I only watch a few shows with actors that I like.

I think this is ok for me too ... it's real life. What do we expect him to do? She already got engaged with another guy. I don't like these extra relationships either but as long as they find each other at the end, it's fine with me.

I don't know how times I have seen the drama failed the novels in Chinese drama... it's all based on the director and producer. I think the only one that didn't fail the novel for me was Love Like the Galaxy. It's due to a good director.

I really like his other drama: 2020 Dating in the Kitchen
It should be fun to watch.
I hope the director of this drama is good?
