She has the flu, her lung got infected so she has a high fever and some of dehydration. She’s been working herself to death to cope with the stuff going on with LYZ.

I’ve watched a lot of YT clips re the purported drama ending and this one feels to be the most legit one so far. It’s kinda hard to know with these YT vids because they can spin some real crazy theories sometimes, lol. Anyway, this one explains that after finding out his father’s pet project was stopped while he was in prison, LYZ tries to take back Yutian in order to have decision making power. This begins his investigation into LXY, at which time he discovers he’s being followed and attacked, which doesn’t seem like LXY’s style. LYZ realizes there’s more to the matter and for the safety of DXS, purposely creates distance. At the same time JFL becomes depressed and suicidal so after LYZ finds evidence against LXY, he doesn’t want to use it and decides to try other means to solve the problem. Meanwhile, LXY is trying to be the husband towards JFL, is being encouraged to work with LYZ, and eventually JFL reexamines her marriage and decides that rather than a divorce (which her father had suggested) she asks her father to turn over all stock power to LXY. He finally feel like a real family member, decides to atone for past sins by turning himself in, and JFL stands by him and have a happy marriage after he gets out. LYZ also makes up with DXS. The video mentions it’s a better ending from the book where DXS ends up having a child but she and LyZ still don’t end up meeting.

He's not the ML, that's how he can die. The ML is the first boyfriend's childhood friend (the summary states he's the older brother because that's the relationship in the book; changes were made for the drama). I don't recall which episode it is exactly where the first boyfriend dies (ep 5 or 6?), but it's in the early part of the drama. The relationship between the FL and the first boyfriend was genuine; she still loves him. Both the ML and the FL have their grieving process following the death of the first boyfriend.

Basically, the ML was prejudiced against the FL because of a past incident where they'd crossed paths even before she met the guy who became her first boyfriend (the summary states it was a one night stand; this was also changed for the drama) , and then because he didn't think she was a girlfriend worthy of his friend. After the first boyfriend dies, the ML and FL's paths continue to cross and as they get to know each other better they resolve the misunderstandings between them and he starts to fall in love and then it becomes whether she can accept a new love.

Honestly, I don't know if that is the ending of the book. I'm still waiting for the rest of the book to be translated myself, but I've heard a lot of differing accounts regarding its ending and much of what you described are part of those rumors, but that's just it: they're rumors. Which means they could be true or they could not be true; I don't know. Based on the drama, though, I'd be surprised if that was how things unfolded. I just can't see it in the context of the drama, but that's my personal opinion.

The synopsis is based on the book that this drama is adapted from, and this page was created before the drama aired, which is why it uses the book’s synopsis. The drama has made some significant changes, including making the two men childhood friends rather than brothers. She also doesn’t have a one night stand with the ML in the past. Instead, she just got drunk and passed out in the rain in front of his car

I can see why you would think Xiang Kong's been waiting around for Miya all these years... he still keeps tabs on her, to the point where his friends tease him about being a Miya fangirl (since they don't know the actual history between the two)... but if you keep watching, you'll see that I don't think he actually has been waiting around for her. In fact, he says at one point (something to the effect of) that on the day that they broke up, he was letting her go. He knew that from that day forward, they would never belong to the same world. But they do share a close history; from the tidbits we're told about their past, it's sounds like all they had was each other for a very long time, so to that extent I can understand why he would still keep an eye on her comings and goings. Honestly, I get more family vibes from Ji Xiang Kong's character in terms of how he feels about Miya. It's impossible for him to cut her out of his life, but he doesn't love her anymore or want to be with her -- especially once Qiu Ying comes along.

As for Miya, I agree with you, that while she did some stuff that I did not support, in a lot of other ways she was a very sympathetic character for me - which is why I can understand why she did some of the stuff that she did. The most tragic part of their relationship was that their break up was never something either of them wanted, but something they had to do. He made the choice for her, knowing she'd never be able to do it, and the difference is, he let go and she couldn't. But I get that, too, as it sounds like though she got to live out her dreams of being a famous singer her world was otherwise very limited, narrow, and without friends. No wonder she clung to memories of Xiang Kong.

Yes, the little boy is their son. FN left so as to not hold LR back in his professional endeavors. Her family’s company was taken over by her assistant, revealed at that time to be her deceased sister’s lover. He did it out of (misplaced, IMO) revenge. LR rushed to her side during that time, forsaking his own opportunities, and knowing he was facing a choice between her and his career, she made the choice for him. Six years later, she’s back with baby!

She apologized for keeping YY’s existence a secret and offered to make it up him. He asked how and then suggested he take custody, pointing out how his work situation is better situated for raising a child than hers with its erratic lifestyle. (I don’t think he really means it, but is trying to provoke a reaction from her.) Of course she disagrees, so she’s trying to reach a compromise by allowing YY to spend time with LR and his fam.

In 27, that was the moment LR found out he was the dad for reals. In 28, YY basically told LR how his mom only ever thought of LR. He told him about the stuffed doll with LR’s face on it.

Don’t know, that was where episode 24 ended. Next episode isn’t available yet. :)

LR has an opportunity to study abroad in Germany that he gives up when FN's family company encounters troubles. This is something he's worked his whole life towards so when FN finds out about it, she leaves him. She feels bad he gave it up for her and doesn't want his life to be controlled by hers.

Yes, an older sister. The label FN created was her sister’s dream. GF was her sister’s boyfriend, I think, and now blames FN for her death. (FN had wanted her sister to come home and celebrate her birthday with her and subsequently, her sister died in an accident,) To seek revenge, he creates problems for the company and then takes over. Ugh. His hatred and revenge seeking ways are so misplaced!

27 is where they get together officially, but their feelings for each other develop well before that. It’s just stuff happens that prevents them from getting together sooner; interference from others, etc.

Before. GYH was filmed immediately after but aired before Untamed.

MGTV plays around with their YT videos a lot. They may have removed the Eng subs (although it’s still subbed on it’s App). And I don’t disagree with you about accessibility, but it’s a MGTV issue. For whatever reason they’ve decided to keep it locked down to VIP users even on their own platforms while sharing other dramas free and subbed. But if people are willing to pay for Netflix or Viki. it’s fair that MGTV would want to try and do the same for itself.

The drama is available officially and subbed through Mango TV (MGTV)’s YouTube channel and App. It’s just they only offer the first few episodes for free. The rest are VIP episodes that you have to pay/subscribe to watch.

@belle & @skilled lurker you can read the book here: https://dramasbooksandtea.wordpress.com/2015/10/19/i-dont-like-this-world-i-only-like-you-chapter-1-1-this-is-what-it-feels-like-to-date-a-male-capricorn/

The lighting changes were used to differentiate between scenes of past/present/future.

A lot of that has to do with the way the book it is adapted from is written. The book is also written in a non-linear fashion; it’s part of its charm though.

No, neither of them ended up with anybody. Both their stories were more about personal growth than romance. For HZQ, he learns the truth of his mother's abandonment, comes to terms with his relationship with his biological father, and above all finally feels secure with his family. His end pairing is hukou. ;)

QMY also grows up and learns how to take back control of her life.
