There is a video in you tube that shows the 42 kisses in OOL. This video has 41 kisses missing one.

I prefer bed scene rather than kissing scene. OOL has 42 kisses. Here so far zero.

First couple to have a child = Qi Tian and XYQ
First couple to divorce = Heizi and ZXH

Episode 27 XCS finally gave HHL the closure she needed so all of them can move on. I love how they integrate the background music with their scenes ( XCS and HHL in the ice skating rink and XCS and XM in the old library ). It was so beautifully done. The confession of XCS to XM about the realization of the missing piece of his dream and when he starts falling for her are nicely portrayed.
This drama really pulls you in so you will always anticipate the next episodes.

What would Xiao Zhan do when the drama heat index hit 35000 or 40000 in Tencent ? Will he rip off his undershirt or do a cute dance with Li Qin ?

We can request Xiao Zhan to do a concert in Macao with Na Ying for next year. We all know he enjoys singing. My wishful request.
He will be very busy filming his Condor Heroes this year. We also want to give him a vacation break before he embarks on another project.

The 2ML and 2FL will have a short live victory but toward the end of the story karma will hit both of them. I can not tell you what it is specifically. I can not share it here and spoil the endings for the viewers. We also don't want them to change it.

All I can tell you, XZ and Li Qin fans will be very happy and satisfied with the endings. Just be patient.

There are already 5 millions reservation on Tencent Apps. for the Longest Promise. We are still waiting. Will it come after Where Dream Begins/ The Youth Memories ?

Gu Wei did not give up going overseas. LZX is planning to join him. One of his patient's dad was going to file a complain against him so his application was withdrawn. If you continue to watch the series, all the answer is given in front of you.
In Asia, most men are conservative. They don't want their girlfriends or wife showing too much skin. That is normal. Unlike in Western Countries, they likes to show off their girlfriends or spouse in revealing sexy clothes.

Majority of his fans are between 24-35 ages and older. They are the working class and can afford to spent money. They all graduated from the Universities. The high school kids who are taking the college entrance exams are chasing idols drama. Thus it should not affect his drama ratings.

It was in the news. Li Qin was in Shanghai when the Covid locked down happen in China last year. It also happened in a lot of other cities in China. There were you tube videos showing residents were screaming in their windows at night because they are stuck in their homes for more than 2 months.
China finally open up because of criticism from international medias. It took them longer to film this drama (at least 6 months).
We will see more of Li Qin by Episode 20. I can tell you this the ending will be very satisfying. If you are a Li Qin fan, you should stick around until the end.

It is call puppy love not first love for XCS and HHL. There is no kissing scene or sex involved.

I did not marry my first love (High School classmates) but I did marry my last love ( Working in the same industry ). Everyone is different.

This drama is unique unlike all the dramas out there where all the ML, SML and 3rd ML are chasing after the FL. Anyway first love is not always the one you will end up marrying. This is more realistic.

I have expected the rating to be in the 9.0 range. It is a well written drama. Kudos to the scriptwriters. The late director did an excellent job in narrating the story. The editing and the flow of the drama is seamless. Easy to follow and understand the plot of the story. All the actors and actresses portray their roles according to their unique personalities. The OST is addictive and I have been playing it non-stop in my computer.

Most of the great dramas and movies in China have low rating here in MDL. I often wonder why. MDL mainly serve South Korean drama. Chinese drama should have their own separate site.

If this is a modern day romance story, she would have said something. This drama took place in 1970's, women are more conservative.

Instead of taking back the bookmark, TXM should make another similar one and give it to XCS as a gift before he enters the military. Then he will realize that it was her in the library.

He just finished his last stage play last month (May 2023).

Patience is a virtue. The story is going thru a Detour but eventually they will end up together.

In episode 4, when the group was having snacks on the side of the street. XCS talked about the lady that he really likes and admire in the forbidden library but didn't get to see her face. TXM could have come out and told them it was her. She is just too shy to say it. There won't be any love story between HHL and XCS.
After seeing her bookmark that XCS kept at his desk, now she is more determine to fight for her love. You know the saying if it is yours it's yours.
