Thanks for the clarification, I often skip so sometimes I miss details, but I realized that this was a huge part of the plot and is kind of central to the story. I'm kind of confused still because... (and maybe the drama hasn't shown this yet) but are Su Muyun's parents ACTUALLY responsible for the accident? I thought Ou Yang Yu's parents were responsible instead?

If they aren't responsible for the accident, I'm not really sure what the problem is here. Or perhaps Su Muyun doesn't know what she heard in the audio recording, and so they don't know what exactly Nian Feng heard?

Anyways, it's absolutely laughable that Qingxue knows more about the whole situation than Nian Feng herself. Really, she is such a hateful character, and the lengths she goes for something so selfish (I still have no idea why she even likes Su Muyun beyond the fact that he rejects her LOL) is ridiculous.

Wait, I'm so confused? In the subtitles for episode 1, she literally said "I'm a foster daughter," so now I actually am just very unclear about what's going on. Perhaps that was a subtitling mistake, but that's pretty big if it's only at Episode 10 that Nian Feng discovers she's actually not their daughter.

Truthfully, I think we're going to get angst from here, and if this is the case it's well-deserved... I'm guessing then she completely lost her memories of the accident? The whole drama has suddenly changed for me now that she technically didn't find out until now.

I totally agree... it's literally 2020, I can't believe we're still having such horrible side characters like Ou Yang Yu's sister (I don't even know her name because I honestly can't be bothered to even care at this point).

He's honestly a sweet and doting ML! He only seems cold at first, but honestly he's very doting and caring after he realizes that he has feelings for the FL.

He's definitely rookie. I like Kabby Hui because she's dealt with a lot of hard times in the past and a lot of criticism, but I also agree that she's playing a very similar character to her last drama in Legend of Jinyan. I will be honest in saying that this is no acting masterpiece, and Cdrama casting is often dependent on a whole host of factors beyond "talent," so hopefully both improve in the future.

Yeah and also given how much basketball and running around he does I just don't think the whole makeup thing would work on the back. But good comments and I'm glad to know I was not the only one who was really confused about why he had the exact same patch from high school to university in the drama (LOL)

I just got to Episode 10 and I DEFINITELY see what you're talking about now. I don't know, I actually kind of like Ou Yang Yu... but maybe that's just because he seems like a "golden thigh" (i.e. rich, can give Nian Feng all the material things she wants LOL)

So Qin Yao is basically I guess her first crush, but honestly it doesn't really go anywhere. If there's one complaint I have I have no idea what the purpose of having a character like him is (I think he might get together with Zihui in the future).

Le De Yin is basically just a friend... I am actually not sure if he has romantic feelings for Nian Feng even though it seems like it, because he technically has no friends at all. I am going to guess that he might go through difficulties with his health in the drama and therefore that impacts Nian Feng's career since she wants to become a doctor (but I might be totally wrong about this).

So now we get to the actual love lines, which I think are mainly between Ou Yang Yu (who needs to pay off his "father's debt" to Nian Feng, hasn't really been shown what that is yet but I think we can all kind of guess) and Su Muyun towards Nian Feng. I really don't think the other guys are any serious romantic candidates (literally episodes pass by without seeing Qin Yao and Le De Yin so maybe they don't become important until the future?)

Both Zihui and Ou Yang Yu's sister like Su Muyun, but Ou Yang Yu's sister is a lot meaner and deliberately strategizes against Nian Feng, while I think Zihui and Nian Feng will continue to best friends (even if Zihui finds out Su Muyun likes Nian Feng).

I think I skipped way too much because I'm kind of confused. In Episode 10, why does Nian Feng get angry at Su Mu Yun? I thought in the beginning we already clarified that she was a foster daughter? I think I fast-forwarded a lot because I couldn't stand to see Ou Yang Yu's sister...

No problem... it's not really reverse harem since two of the guys (Qin Yao and Le Di Yin) really aren't any true romantic partners in any sense. If you're still interested in watching, I think we're getting to the point where it's pretty clear the love line will be between Su Muyun, Nian Feng, and Ou Yang Yu.

I definitely think it's a tattoo then! I really thought it was part of the drama, but I guess most of us can tell now this is probably not the case.

I think it's probably a tattoo then. But i'm kinda surprised (not that there's anything wrong with having a tattoo) but that Ren Shihao has so many despite his rookie status and his young age. Perhaps it's a tattoo with a personal name on it or something and since it would reveal private information about them, that's why they don't show it off?

No problem! Have a good time watching. Honestly the whole sister-brother thing (to me) is not that big of a deal because Su Muyun is very clear about how she is not his sister. I also think part of the broader storyline when they grow up is about them learning that they can't really be "siblings," because of their feelings, so honestly this whole siblings plot is a non-issue to me and really just a plot device to keep them in closer proximity together.

As of episode 10, she used to have a crush on Qin Yao. I'm still so confused about this guy because he's kind of irrelevant given how she likes him so much? Anyways the way he's inserted into the drama is really weird. She really only sees Le Di Yin as her best friend, but Le Di Yin has some personal circumstances that complicate their relationship. I'm not even sure why Ou Yang Yu (CEO) likes her, because it happened all of a sudden, but I can say that it was probably an easy plot device since Yang Yu's sister likes Su Muyun. And Su Muyun, of course, is the most loyal to his sister, even though Yang Yu's sister and Zihui (Nian Feng's best friend) like him. I really only see Yang Yu's sister being evil though, because from what I saw in the previews Zihui and Qin Yao might get together?

In other words, I honestly have not seen so many guys liking a single girl together before, and honestly this could be a total trainwreck, but I have a feeling the main clash/the guys who will actually pose a "threat" to each other are Ou Yang Yu and Su Muyun at the moment.

She knows and acknowledges that Su Muyun's parents are her foster parents.

So at first I thought it was like a heat patch, because he's a basketball player, but then when the time skip happened and he still had that patch on I became confused. I'm going to guess that it might be a tattoo, and that place is hard to cover up because it's the collar of his shirt (which rubs on the back of his neck).

I'm not sure though, because apparently Ren Shihao has a (confirmed) tattoo of a Chinese phrase or saying from his ear to his neck, and he's covered it up with makeup no problem before. I couldn't find anything else online either, but this is my best guess at the moment (there's a picture of a CF he did where has a skin-coloured patch in the same spot. My only problem is that if this is the case... wouldn't they just photoshop the tattoo out?)

So far, it's basically pure fluff and sweetness; but I think we will get hints of angst in the late stretch. I've been just going in with super low expectations, and I think that's helping a little bit!

Okay, so I'm going to say it. This has been my crack drama so far, and honestly, after going in with super low expectations I'm actually really loving it. It's tropey, fluffy, and sweet, but there are so many scenes that are not just adorable but show how much these two care for each other (such as when Su Muyun sleeps at the foot of Nianfeng's bed, beacuse she in fact sleepwalks and has nightmares). Honestly, I don't really see them as siblings at all — even if they were "raised" that way, Su Muyun is pretty clear about having never treated her as his sister.

The thing I do have an issue with is that if you want something with wholesome relationships, something more introspective, etc. this probably isn't a drama that you would want to pick up. There are drama cliches, because the start of the drama is in high school (and follows them into college and their adult life) it can sometimes feel very "youthful" and has that "impossible pink sparkly romance" feel that might turn some people off. In fact, sometimes Su Muyun really does go overboard, while I think Nianfeng's personality could be developed a little more instead of only being kindhearted and thoughtful. As for the love triangles, they are honestly everywhere, but I think what helps is that Su Muyun always only cares about and thinks about Nianfeng.

I have a feeling that we will see more angst in the future; some of the love triangles (especially with Ou Yangyu and how Qin Yao is honestly a character that sometimes feels very "oddly" fitted into the drama) will be annoying and ripe for skipping. That being said, I love the relationship Su Muyun and Nianfeng have so far, and this has been a decent watch as of Episode 10 for me while waiting for other dramas to update.

Honestly speaking, I'm a little nervous about how the intro and the outro clips show Nianfeng with romantic lines with literally four different guys. That being said, the first episode was quite cute, and I really think they did a great job casting Ryan as Su Muyun. I will admit I'm coming in here as a fan of Kabby Hui, so I'm excited to see how this turns out.

Looks like from the comments though that given how the book seems darker? than the drama, I'm not really sure how this will translate here (since so far it seems like a very sparkly and fluffy romance). But given how a lot of dramas which also had that feeling at first (i.e. Rush to the Dead Summer, Mountains and Ocean, For Married Doctress), ended up being a lot more angsty and gloomier than I expected, I'm worried this might be the case for this one too. Hoping that this overall turns out to be a light and fluffy watch, but I'm going to brace myself for the possibility of angst on the way.

Yep, I definitely thought GYZ also resembled a second male lead too. I like the subversion of tropes and I'm really happy that we have a lot more wholesome MLs recently (although that being said, for some reason with the rise in wholesome MLs I'm also seeing the rise of really toxic and psychologically manipulative SMLs.

I honestly wasn't really convinced by Du Lei's feelings, because I think the transition between him wanting to get close to her for selfish reasons and him actually liking her was very quickly done. Good catch though on the part about her speech to the trainee; I forgot about that but you're right in that this was an important moment for him. That being said, I think it's really clear he actually likes her, but I also feel as if Du Lei as a character has a lot of potential that either hasn't or has yet to be developed yet. He's become one of my favourites in the show, possibly because I feel very sympathetic to all of the painful experiences he's had, but also because he's a very complex character whose also very lonely. Again, it may be because he really "resonates" as a typical ML, except in this one he's a SML instead.

Agree. I don't think he will harm LXC, I think the main problem will actually be his involvement in Jiang Jun's past. I'm crossing my fingers that Du Lei doesn't become evil since I truly like him as a character, and at this point he has so few (literally no) people to rely on that I don't think I wold be able to see him suffer further.

Totally agree. I'm looking forward to it, but I hope it's not too painful!
