can we all talk about how good bu shiling disguise as men is ,like this is best portraying of a girl disguising a man ,I have seen this actress in guardian of dafeng too she looks soo different there i wasn't even able to recognise here that it's a girl 😭
I'm really glad to see shuxin in this kind of genre 🥹🥹i watched like 2 episodes till now ,I was watching for shuxin and end up loving the students actors too
I've seen many comments saying that the plot in this drama has been watered down when compared to the novel. Can…
as novel reader myself i loved novel and I loved the drama too at the starting it felt like they changed alot of things and at the later part things were coming together just like in the novel so lemme list it out
1. they tone down the character of the lu xixiao( which was necessary cuz of censorship) in the novel lu xixiao was more of like bad boy who used to fight,drinks, smoke ,ride bikes and got many gf in past so as he was just highschool so they can't show everything like this they can't show him smoking or drinking as highschool in the drama we see him drinking after they graduated from school.
2. they changed the whole storyline at the starting,in the novel FML was 16 and ml was 17-18 ( i don't remember the exact age lol)while in the drama they made both of 18 which is a good change, and in the novel they focused more part of school life while in the drama they ended it very quickly as they started the school life during gaokao preparation
3. FML in the drama selling notes and tutoring wasn't in the novell ,she used to study with lu xixiao in novel but don't sell notes etc. lol she actually used to work at the arcade they show that part in the drama but differently cuz in novel the arcade was like core memory point of their school arc,and that's also the place where they meet like very often
4. they kept some part from the novel in the drama but they changed the context or scenario,example: the scene where one of girl was trying to take her life( in novel it happened during their school year but in the drama it happened after the gaokao exam results)
5.lu xixiao finding the truth earlier than the ending of their school arc in the novel, he found about the truth that zhou wan is gou yan daughter like at the end of their highschool arc in the novel but in the drama he found very earlier ,and in the novel jiang fan and gu meng didn't have that much scenes like in the drama they made them second leads cps( which I liked it),and so does gou yan exposure in the drama wasn't this much in the novel she was annoying in the novel they made her more annoying in the drama lmao
so starting few episodes may felt like they are all over the place for the novel reader cuz they changed the timeline of the starting otherwise after the few episodes the things are fitting together
