Anyone finished this?Can you clear my some questions?How was the romance?Love triangle? FL spends time with 2nd…
I haven't finished watching the drama, but I've been skipping around and peeking ahead.
It has a happy ending (they reunite in France).
The OTP are in love with each other throughout; that never changes, but they break-up/get together about a bajillion times before settling into a state of not-togetherdness before reuniting in the end. The times they are not apart, they are still in love with each other, but what happens is one person leaves the other, believing that decision to be in the best interest of the other.
The second male lead is in love with the FL. Initially, she just thinks of him as a friend (and she's grateful for the times that he helps her). But she does eventually realize that he is just manipulating her and, above all, using her to hurt the male lead, so when he's being deliberately hateful, she does not like him and is frustrated by him. Yet, she can't completely shake free of the past they had as friends either.
The male lead does get Alzheimer's. As far as I know there is no real resolution to that in the last episode (I don't think there can be; it's not exactly a curable disease). But when his mother asks him in the last episode what he plans on doing with respect to FL, he tells her he's aware that they've all been lying for his sake and that he know the FL knows about his illness. He then says he's decided to be selfish for once anyway (meaning that he's going to be with her in spite of his illness) and that he hopes to at least be able to leave her with some happiness. His mother responds by promising to watch over the FL for him as well.

Oh good! Because YT has been yanking down videos - boo. I'm really enjoying the drama so far, especially the young actors. I'm almost sad the drama has transitioned back to the adult actors playing themselves in university. Their younger counterparts were doing such a good job! ;)
No, a few parts of the story take place in Paris, as both characters have connections to that place, but the bulk of the drama takes place in Shanghai.
-SPOILER ALERT- Okay I have to admit, I loved everything about this drama EXCEPT the ending. I just don’t like…
Si Tu Feng's career didn't plummet and they didn't have a kid. Both those things that we "saw" were from Chen Qing Qing's manga that she was writing by the end of the drama. Even Si Tu Feng, in the very end scene, is wondering why she's writing about both those things in her book. As Chen Qing Qing runs away, she reassures him that his career will rebound at some point, i.e., that she'll fix his career in her story.
The above drama summary is a little misleading in that Ruan Man Jun doesn't get disbarred and doesn't go to prison. Maybe that's how it is in the book, but in the drama, she serves as a witness at a trial, and as a result of her testimony the defendant suffers a heart attack and ultimately dies. At the time, she testified based on what she knew, but later she realizes that the defendant was innocent and she was purposely misled by her ex-boyfriend who had framed the defendant. These key differences make the drama a little less Secret-like. :)
are they really trying to guilt trip Si Tu Feng into marrying Xin Ya? That's fucked up. Not only for Si Tu Feng…
Yup. And not not only that, but she clearly needs more therapy/treatment than a band-aid solution. That was seriously one of the most frustrating arcs of the drama.
She has reason to disguise herself while at school (but uses her real name). But other times she pretends to be…
Oh, yeah, no. Maybe you were thrown off because the above drama summary says she has a "dual personality"? But it's not that she has a dual (or bipolar) personality; rather, she's pretending to be two different people. The result of that is that it leads more hilarious, hijinks scenarios than melodramatic ones. AIL is cute, light, and fluffy. Give it a try! :)
does the female lead have two people in her or does she live two different lives??????????
She has reason to disguise herself while at school (but uses her real name). But other times she pretends to be someone else (using a fake name) but doesn’t wear a disguise.
If you just scroll through these message threads, you'll see where she's posted in many of these threads. Just click on her name and send a friend request.
Yup. So aggravating, right? But he was served a massive guilt trip from that older female friend of theirs. Plus…
NGL. It was pretty painful to sit through. But fortunately, as with most roadblocks that the OTP encounter in this drama, it’s solved pretty quickly. Then you’ll be back in happy land. ;)
On episode 26 watching raw. Am I understanding correctly that Si Tu Feng is marrying that annoying girl to prevent…
Yup. So aggravating, right? But he was served a massive guilt trip from that older female friend of theirs. Plus the girl’s mom said they never blamed him for the death of their other daughter and pleaded with him to make sure they wouldn’t lose their remaining daughter too, which heaped on the guilt.
