STOP IT. I don’t like it 😭😭😭 I’m already itchy it gives me an allergy just at the thought of it. Childhood sweetheart trope? I’d rather eat glass 😱

I'm struggling with the overall writing, with ups and downs, and I'm still trying to finish episode 15. Are you telling me it gets worse? 🥲

I am just hoping that the first episode is not a dream, and they don't pull something out like they know each other from childhood or something 💩 like that 😅😅🤣 ps. As well, they need to give importance to the world of the script too, because if nothing is real there, then everything we are watching doesn't mean anything.

I wish she would start to see things before it is too late and without anyone pointing them out to her. I want her to understand by herself

Can we PLEASE take a moment to appreciate the Waning River Crescent Gang?? 😩🖤 Because every time Li Shiliu and his masked squad show up, I forget all my problems, instant serotonin. I love every single one of them even Nightwalker Extra #39 in the back who probably has two lines (or none).Their lair is literally the only place where Nan Heng gets a break from being emotionally wrecked every 3 minutes 🙃

SYT and HN clearly have a completely different relationship this time around. It proves that while certain plot points might be fixed by the script, the emotions, motivations, and choices of the characters are shifting. They’re evolving. The story might be looping, but the people inside it aren’t the same anymore. Of course the FL is still fixated on the original script because from her perspective, all she sees is the aftermath. She recognizes the plot points as they happen, but she doesn’t see how the paths leading to them have already changed. To her, the destination is still the same, what she hasn’t realised yet is that while the plot may push certain events to happen, the why behind them is completely different this time. And if the reasons change, the outcome can change too. But she’s too focused on protecting herself to even consider that. She’s surviving based on patterns she’s memorised, not the reality unfolding in front of her

I deeply regret watching these episodes today before tomorrow’s. I’m out here giving myself an ulcer over Nan Heng, the Patron Saint of Misunderstood Men, now with an extra misunderstanding ... still finishing ep 22 so dont know yet the answer to ypur question. EDIT.Just finished the episode… and I really wish I was you and had waited for tomorrow. This was beyond ulcer-inducing. And don’t even get me started on the 2ML he was like nails on a chalkboard this episode. Every time he appeared, I wanted to throw something at the tv. Also… setting aside the fact that the sister literally drugged and tried to assault LS (which, yes, is horrifying, but in the name of fairness I laughed when he tried to kill her sister multiple times at the beginning of the show, so can't really comment on this without being a hypocrite) but they wierdly solved all.of their issues in 10 minutes of the episode. Cant say the same for him and FL. He is still out here winning the "Most Consistently Misunderstood Male Lead 2025" award for the 22th episode in a row

she didn’t adopt a misunderstood soul or a fixer-upper... she picked up a limited edition plot device 😂 He served his one (1, only 1) purpose and then vanished from the epispdes. He’ll reappear only when drama needs to be solved or uncovered, until then, he's on standby in the plot storage room 😅

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if he shows up next time with white hair, a cane, and says, “I’ve waited decades… for you to save me, Jiejie.”

oh thank you so much 🥰😊💖

Please… never bring up the parrots in Long Ballad again 😩 I love that drama, but that scene? Absolutely cringe. They really made us watch two birds "kiss" in closeup while the actual couple’s kiss was hidden in the background. Like why??I felt like I was intruding on some weird avian courtship ritual 😱.And seriously wouldn’t it have been better to just not show the kiss at all? Or give us a soft focus shot from a distance like every other drama does? But no. We got full beak to beak action shot in 8k. yes I still can't get over it 🥲🤣

This show gives me Dream of Splendor vibes, which I loved, too, especially for the friendships between women, etc.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Because it wasn't written well, unfortunately, they just put him there as a plot device 🥲 it is so annoying

Yes, it does feel like it doesn't belong to this show. I mean, okay, there was a misunderstanding, but I was expecting it to be written better (the start of it, i mean). The sister's actions ALWAYS made sense in her character buildup.But the brother, while less developed, still had a clear base: a timid, guilt-ridden young man/boy who couldn’t protect the person he loved most, his sister.So for him to suddenly turn bold, confrontational, and start provoking someone like Jiang Changyang, without any internal buildup or shift, just doesn’t hold up 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ I wish that once Mu Dan discovers the truth, she will slap some character development into him 🤭

Their misunderstanding honestly makes total sense to me. We're talking about two people who were literally placing a bet on who would stay unmarried the longest, they've always kept their relationship in that playful, competitive, emotionally safe zone.And beyond being clever and perceptive in most areas, when it comes to romantic feelings,especially ones that go beyond friendship or sibling-like affection, they’re both incredibly insecure. It’s easier for them to assume the other person could never feel the same than to risk being wrong. They’d rather keep the status quo than put their hearts on the line, that's the 2 characters they showed us so far so I totally understand their misunderstanding

Now they should surprise us and not make her get angry at him like they always do in dramas. I think that only in Blossoms in Adversity I saw a FL not blaming the ML for lying but understanding why he did it. I know we are not getting it here, but that would be such a plot twist 😅🤣

Good to know. I don't want to wait for Viki. MangoTV, here I come! 😅🤣

I had high expectations for the friend’s brother character and I was hoping he will show up eventually after his sister died (can’t even remember his name now), but… no. Complete letdown. At least with the sister, we got a psychologically coherent arc,her crushed self-esteem built over years of emotional abuse made her actions tragically understandable. She was shattered, reduced to pieces, and it showed. Someone that broken would’ve needed serious mental help,help that simply didn’t exist in that era. But the brother? His character feels like nothing more than a plot device. He’s there to create drama for the leads, to stir things up, delay their relationship, and make them suffer just enough to “realise their feelings.” That’s it. And it’s frustrating because they could’ve given him ten minutes of proper character development and made him compelling. Instead, all we get is a boy crushed under the weight of his family, helpless to protect the sister he adored, and now suddenly he's pulling reckless stunts against someone as powerful as Jiang Changyang? It makes no sense. Where did this sudden burst of courage and self-worth even come from? He couldn’t stand up to anyone in his family for the sister he loved, but now we’re expected to believe he’s going after a powerful man with childish tricks… for a woman he barely knows and has some vague crush or projection on? it’s narrative convenience. One could argue he’s doing it out of guilt, trying to make up for not saving his sister. But even that doesn’t track, because he’s not doing it to save Mu Dan from anything, just becausehe wants he for himself (presumably). There’s no coherent arc here. He exists solely to create obstacles between Mu Dan and JC, so they don’t get together too soon. And that’s honestly the first thing I haven’t liked in this drama. I can understand Mu Dan and JC’s misunderstandings,they’re both smart and know each other well, but when it comes to feelings, they’re painfully insecure. After being friends for so long, they both assume the other could never possibly fall in love. That tension makes sense. This random brother-turned-love-complication? Not so much 🥲😅 end of the rant 🤣

I need to rant a bit so I'll put it under spoiler to not take over the comment section
