I thought I would never like Ze Yi but seeing her guard the hole in the rain made me feel she might be redeemed. I still do not want her with Yan Chen. Her false accusations against him made that impossible in my eyes but they could be friends. In any event, he never really liked her that way.

I love Wang Chu Ran! Have you seen her in Have a Crush on You? The ending was a bit disappointing because we didn't get the wedding scene same as in this show.

I don't know how you concluded she did it for herself. Did you not see how hard it was for her to walk away from the family that took her in when she was orphaned? Song Yan knows how difficult it was for her to stand up to her mother when he met her at the mall. He knows her well.

I find it strange too. I could not finish My Dear Guardian because of the FL. I cannot imagine it has a higher rating that this. I did like Road Home even though the FL is not a favorite of mine. I tend to avoid her shows. But I really liked Road Home.

@themarchioness I think Song Yan looked as if he suspected Ye Zi in the show. I will have to see on my rewatch. I am not sure when I will rewatch. I have already rewatched my favorite episodes as I waited for the next. Thank you so much for the recaps of the last 8 episodes. It helped while I waited for the subtitles. Now I am going to watch ep 40.

In the novel, both Xu Qin and Song Yan knew that it was Ye Zi who was responsible for the scam incident. I am not sure if that was revealed in the show. This is the problem reading and watching at the same time!

@Saydoo Totally agree! She was manipulative right from the start. Her main goal was money. When she packed up to leave the dorm the writers seem to want to redeem her but I am not buying it. What she did out of spite to MYC was wrong. He should have sued her. Maybe it is because she is so young and he wanted to give her a chance to turn her life around. But even if she did, he deserves much better. I liked when Xu Qin told him to live for himself. His nature makes him try to protect others the way he protected Xu Qin. I could see Xu Qin was really upset about what happened to MYC. I think in the final 2 episodes she tells him she could not imagine not having him in her life or something like that. Maybe I read that in the book.

Do you mean he is a product of his mother's control just like Xu Qin is? They both find their way out by the end of the show. I am not sure what you mean but he is not a copy of his mother at all.

She went after him and put herself in his path whenever possible. He said he wanted to help her but he should have stayed far away from her.

Song Yan's family is wonderful.

He knew she was only interested in money. But for some reason he wanted to help her. He is a really nice guy. I do not find him "creepy." He kept it all in until he finally stood up to his mother. I hope there is a show for Yan Chen and he finds love. He doesn't need to worry about Xu Qin anymore because she has Song Yan.

I literally just said the same thing about YeZi. I also said I would love to see Yan Chen's story but not with Ye Zi. Loved everything you said! I can see Yan Chen with someone with the personality of Song Yan's cousin. He needs that. A spunky girl with a great heart is what he needs.

Ye Zi liked him for his money. But at the end the show made it seem as if she really fell for him. But that is not love. Definitely not after what she did to him. I never liked her but actually felt a little sad for her when she had to leave school. I want Yan Chen to end up with someone much better. Song Yan's sister would be good for him. She has spunk! It might be strange though . But I can see him falling in love with someone like Song Yan's sister.

I don't get your point. What is the purpose of posting these articles and what do you mean by "they doing this." Who is "they?" Do you think these articles are a true depiction of the Chinese as a whole? I don't know about any hate toward Yang Yang or the reasons. Are you saying the show was not well received in China due to some dislike of Yang Yang. Even so, the articles you posted are irrelevant to the issue.

I have been a fan of Wang Churan since Have a Crush On You. And I also love watching Yang Yang and really love him as Song Yan. But I don' t feel the same about Yan Chen the way you do. I hope you will keep an open mind as I express my opinions. The first time I saw him with Xu Qin, I did get an uneasy feeling due to the fact that she sees him as a brother. But as I watched the show, I came to see him in a different light and I don't feel what he really feels for her is romantic love. He loves her for being her. She was a breath of fresh air to him when she was adopted into the family. They both felt they had to be perfect for the mother. And while Yan Chen felt he had to do as his mother said, he did defy her in subtle ways to help Xu Qin. The first time was when he saved Xu Qin's stuffed animal that his mother threw into the garbage. He was protective of Xu Qin. You can see how he supported her even by sitting with her while she carved wood.

In the later episodes, we see Yan Chen questioning his mother's behavior toward Xu Qin. He told her to stop trying to control Xu Qin. The final straw was when he found out what his mother did to Song Yan. He saw Xu Qin's pain and when she broke the family photo, in a sense it shattered that cocoon he had built around them against the mother. Yan Chen was going to take responsibility for what his mother did if she did not turn herself in. Not once did we see his character do anything as underhanded as his mother's actions. Instead, there were many indications of his kind and considerate nature.

Sometimes, first impressions are hard to change. And while I can understand how you got your impression of Yan Chen, I saw much more as the show progressed and I feel he is a good guy. He is more than just a good guy. He has a depth of character and it is not evil. I would like to see his story but not with Ze Yi. As he said, Ze Yi underestimated his intelligence and overestimated hers. I knew he was not fooled by her. As we come to the final 2 episodes, it is satisfying to see my perception of Yan Chen's character become more evident.
I don't even want to get into Ye Zi's character because I did not like her at all. But I did feel sorry for her because she looked remorseful when talking to Song Yan's sister. Ye Zi's character is not good enough for Yan Chen. When she accused him of rape, it showed her weak character. He deserves much better. She is lucky he decided not to sue her.

Well, this is getting long so I will stop. I love this show. It could be because I love seeing Yang Yang with Wang Churan. But I also the other characters. There were some filler episodes, but I still rated this show a 10.

I feel sure they will in the future. Yan Chen is a good person. The fact that he felt someone needs to take responsibility for what his mother did says so much. Also, the fact that he did not sue Ye Zi after what she did to him, only confirms what I felt about him throughout the show. His feeling for Xu Qin is not what it seems. I feel his bond with her is due to the fact she brought sunshine to his life and he loved and protected. They both love each other. Yan Chen will accept Song Yan as he sees Xu Qin is happy with him. Xu Qin feels devastated with the knowledge of what her mother did to Song Yan. I have to say,Song Yan's love for Xu Qin is so great he didn't want her to know because he didn't want her to feel hurt.

He thought she got in because of her family. And he also felt she lacked what it takes to be a great doctor emotionally. Not sure if I am saying it right. But I can see he is one of those people who is gruff on the outside but kind on the inside.

He likes her now. There were reasons he was not sure she was the right pick but now he thinks she is the most qualified.

Yes! I liked A Date With the Future. The FL was strong and I liked she didn't let anyone bully her.
