His friend is the voice of reason! Luke secretly didn’t want to lose her professionally or personally. And ended up doing the worst thing - expressing his fear by inflicting hurt. He was clearly scarred him is failed business experience and how his dad treated him. By the time he realised it, it was too late. Girlie blocked him 😭😭

I think it’s reddish dress instead. Like we see in the previews.

💀

I actually laughed at that.
His childhood friend of over 20 years gets water (polite)
And his girlfriend gets the special osmanthus and honey milk. 🍯 🥛

He is very caring but his ego causes him to self- protect by inflicting pain.
Despite a great ep 12, he was still toxic in his cutting when taking care of her. Claiming the toiletries were left by other women, despite clearly buying them for Flora (her contact prescription matched) and claiming he’d seen it all, when she covered her legs.
She’s not perfect either. Her folding of boundaries, insecurities and stubbornness also contribute .
It’s all these small things that compound over time and cause a larger falling out — with her eventually leaving.

It’s because despite their efforts to match the tech (old iPhones and MacBooks) nothing else is of that era.

Jing Bo Ran supplied/ provided over 100+ of his own outfits/shoes/ accessories to contribute to character building the fashionista/ advertising GM. Luan Nian. I was also LOLing cause even his car is the wrong G class. 🤣
Flora’s outfits aren’t reminiscent of that early to mid 2010s era either. I am old enough to remember the fashion then as a young adult hahaha

I swooned so hard.
Though I must say, how he coaxed her to not break up with him was somewhat manipulative, I turned a blind eye — like I have for 12 eps so far! 🙈.
I mean it’s HARD, when he looks at you with bedroom eyes like that right?!

I was surprised too. People are usually quite harsh on toxic relationships.
Let's see what happens when our Luan Nian has his💡 moment and is the yearner we all want and need him to be

While i would totally LOVE 8 more episodes of them - i actually don't mind IF the pacing and plot is done well.
Partially censorship, but we were told that the cuts had to do with pacing. I would rather that than 8 eps of filler and stagnation between our CP.
Let's see.
24 is not bad....let's hope they keep this refreshing and well-paced. Quality > quantity right?

It's drama double standards - it's fine when the ML does it, but no one else buaha,.

Buahah same! But also, i love that she has a bit of spunk.
When she's annoyed at him and goes hiking instead, he's like "but it's Friday today?"
"I'm going hiking". "Okay".

Bro acts tough but is totally salty butthurt. Those poor flowers lol lol 💐

IKR! Just saw the airing schedule and they're feeling us CRUMBS this week. Gonna suffer all week

Toned down for censorship purposes, but both still so HOT

Happy Birthday gorgeous! I just spent the last week celebrating getting to know you via Blossoms of Power and Speed and Love. Looking forward to your new collab with Landi Li! 🩵

I laughed so loudly at that scene. And them getting interrupted too.

It reminds me of Moonlight Mystique where all of the cast died just not thr main couple lol

Given the number of eps, anything past 14 (which is a given from the previews) is more than half the show and I’m curious to see how it’s all stitched together in the current era.

Her character was extremely flawed and delusional yet her delivery was exceptional.

I literally said that in the Overdo thread. 😂
Totally different plots, totally different eras. Totally different characters.
But, I couldn’t help but keep drawing parallels between that show and this one.
Toxic, angsty and traumatic. Someone said Overdo had the xianxia trauma without the genre lol. TTEOM has left remnants of trauma since i watched it.

Something to shift gears from republican trauma. Haha
