I can’t understand A’shu loyalty to LCF..🤔What made him so loyal? Any back story that I might have missed?
When FL's mother sent her away to escape when she was a child, she ran into LCF while in the grassy field. Together they escaped and hid from the attackers. LCF was then brought back to the Cui family and "adopted" by her father. They've been raised as siblings since their childhood. On top of all that, because of her, LCF has never been allowed to have his own identity because he lived as her (to protect her/her father). I would think the last part, especially, is what makes her feel indebted and bad for him.
I just finished episode 1 I was wondering if FL found out that it was ML that saved her yet?
It wasn't as immediately memorable to the ML given the number of rescue missions he's had, but once his memory is jogged he will remember. Particularly given the circumstances of him having accidentally worn his friend's jacket.
I finished first 19 ep no will to finish the rest but curious to know how it ends because everyone seems mad
At a certain point, FL realizes she doesn’t have any interest in studying finance. She does well in her major because she’s a good student, but it was the major her mother chose for her and she has no passion for it. Through various instances, such as helping ML with the silver shop business, she realizes her passion lies in marketing and she switches majors.
In Ep 30, their senior year, she receives a job offer to work with someone she idolizes in the marketing industry. But it turns out the job is in Huaicheng not Pucheng. She doesn’t know how to tell ML.
ML ends up learning about it through someone else. He tells that person to not tell FL that he knows. He never brings it up either, and then they graduate (drama ends with them taking grad photos together and with their friends).
In the Special episode, she starts to tell him about the job offer but he shares that he already knows. He also tells her it’s a good opportunity and that even if she decided to stay, he would tell her to go. Most importantly, he tells her that whether she stays, goes to Huaicheng, or someplace else it doesn’t matter because he knows in the end they’ll come back together. He reminds her of the essay she’d written in high school when she’d say parting is to ensure that they’ll have a better reunion (or something like that).
I know people are upset at the ending and feel it’s an open-ended one. Ep 30 does feel incomplete but that said, I never felt like they would necessarily break up either. Both of them had indicated too many times how important they were to each other for us to think that distance would necessarily lead to them breaking up.
The Special episode settles that question, IMO. She will return to Huaicheng, they will not break up, their relationship will continue, and in a few years I’m sure they’ll figure out a way to be in the same city. It’s not the worst thing for them. After all, the ML in the meantime was accepted to some training program for his rapid fire shooting thing and it’s doubtful he would’ve had a lot of time for the FL even if she stayed in Huaicheng. In this way, both get to pursue their dreams while supporting each other - which really is the beauty of their relationship.
Just saw the special episode.. bittersweet open ending.
He makes it pretty clear, though, that although he supports (even encourages her) to go back to Huaicheng for her job, that won't change the status of their relationship.
Does anyone know why Ye Yin is kinda deleted from the teasers? I haven't watched the movie yet, only the behind…
Around June or so, his girlfriend of many years exposed him as a cheater or something like that. The negativity around that news caused the movie to minimize his presence as a result.
Movie times/locations are finally being updated. A lot of theaters don’t update their schedule until Wed afternoon for the upcoming weekend so keep checking back!
They first took her in because her father and the Meng patriarch were old friends (seems like they served together…
In the book, XQ was 10 years old when her parents died in a fire (that her mother started due to marital problems). After staying in the orphanage for a bit, where she was bullied, the Meng family came to pick her up. Adopted dad was her father's comrade and MYC was 12 years old.
It's said that XQ and her foster father were close; they had a father-daughter relationship. Foster mom, however, "showed care towards her," but QX's presence in their home, made adopted foster mom pay more attention between the two children. As close as XQ was to her adoptive father, he was busy with work and thus not really around. It was the foster mom who minded things at home and she was strict and harsh. XQ dared not offend her after having lost both her parents to the fire and experiencing the bullies at the orphanage.
Eventually the children grew older and according to the book, although they had a good relationship like real brother and sister, they weren't actually related. To avoid anything happening between the two children, that's when her foster mother decided to formalize the adoption process and change XQ's last name from Xu to Meng. She wanted XQ to join their household registry.
XQ resisted initially but was eventually persuaded by MYC, and then shortly after that she asked to attend a boarding school which is where she ended up meeting SY.
does anyone know why she was adopted by the Meng family when she was young? I know her parents died but why did…
The fathers had a close relationship.
Additional spoilers/info:
Not sure where you are in the drama, but at one point, you will see in a flashback how one day little XQ woke up and found the house in flames. She crawled out into another room and found her father already dead and her mother apologizing. In the book, it's spelled out that her parents were having marital problems and so her mom set the house on fire killing both her husband/XQ's father and herself. XQ was never sure whether her mother meant to kill her as well. But she was taken to an orphanage where she lived for several months (and was picked on by other kids) until the Meng family came to pick her up, her father having been a former comrade's of her father. (In the book, the Meng family came from a high-ranking military family.)
"the typhoon should've blow her ass to North Korea" 😂🤣I believe they actually had to redeem the parents…
It's definitely a drama/censorship thing. In the book, the parents are not let off the hook and the FL cuts relations with her mother. That was changed in this drama.
But this is not the first drama I've watched this year where a terrible parents in the book, who stayed terrible throughout, was redeemed by the end of the drama. So I suspect it's a censorship thing. I will say, in the other one I watched - Road Home - the transformation of the dad happened, literally, in a minute. It was rather bizarre and felt like a giant whiplash, so I hated it. In this drama, there's a bit more process behind the mom coming around and so it didn't feel as grating to me. But yes, the original handling in the book is probably still the preferred approach. :-P

Hope that satisfies your curiosity! :)
