Even if there are flashbacks, they don’t count as a proper arc if most of the leads’ interactions were already covered in the previous flashback that had the actual past arc. At best, they’ll just add some context about what happened after they separated. And flashbacks only take up a significant chunk of the story when the narrative keeps jumping between the past and present. That’s not the case here. Like Lighter & Princess, it starts in the present, goes through the entire past arc, and then returns to the present.
It’d be pretty obvious if the teenage arc were over. We’d see their last interaction, followed by a timeskip before the story jumps to the present-day adult arc. If that transition happens before they’ve permanently parted ways, then I’d say the teenage arc isn’t over yet.
Why in tarnation are no episodes being released on WeTV? What’s going on? Is it going to be released only on CCTV-1 for domestic audience, not on WeTV for global audience anymore? If somebody is fluent in Mandarin, they can watch its live stream on CCTV website.
Question for novel readers: Is this story structured like Dazzling, where most of the narrative focuses on the characters’ teenage years and only a smaller portion follows them into adulthood?
I also noticed it has a lot of inner dialogue. I was watching it without headphones, and there was a lot of noise around, so I couldn’t really follow some of the conversations just from the subtitles. I was like, “Wait, what’s happening?” lol.
Six episodes in, and I’m loving it so far, especially the personalities of both leads! Is it just me, or did anyone else notice that some of the editing felt a bit choppy here and there? Other than that, awesome!
Six episodes? Damn, that’s awesome! I’m so seated for this, can’t wait to binge them this evening! I love the romance + sports combo. I absolutely loved it in AASOL and Weightlifting Fairy. I don’t know much about football, but hey, I do know the offside rule, lol. Hopefully this show levels up my football knowledge a bit!
Exactly! I was hoping that his dad would change but no, lol.
The FL has become better now. The only problem is his father. Despite everything the ML is doing to save the Xuan family, he’s treated so poorly by him. I can understand his father not being fine with his ideas, but constantly belittling him, hitting him, calling him useless, and comparing him with Zhang Du is too much. I’m pretty sure it’ll all be brushed aside and painted as his father’s “tough” love, lol.
