Moonstruck

the company is gonna go public (will be listed in the stock market to get more investors). Currently ownership is private, 50/50 between Gao and LX.

exactly. he wanted to cut all connections with ZY that why he took back all the shares.
As much as I hate Gao, I think it's interesting to note that the company did also grow bigger under his supervision, and yes, LX still owns 50% and technically he's already rich. The unfair thing that happened is Gao disregarded LX's right to have control in the company (how their vision went from medical field to gaming). To be fair, we also didn't know how it will play out for them if Gao kept LX in control, it's not like LX have access to info and can do much from behind bars.
But anyway, Gao's still nasty with how he dealt with LX's lowest moments.
LX did not tap into his 50% share into the company yet and rather get funds from Ren Di.
For sure that 50% stake will play a role in the future episodes, let's see how he gets his 'revenge'.

money wasn't thrown away. tbh, those shares weren't valued that much during that time as they were still on the early stage of the business. She got 50% because she's suppose to invest her time and skill, which she will not do anymore once they break up. So romance aside, it's not so unfair that the shares were taken back.

Wish they change the drama cover photo, I don't think it captures the essence of the story. Reminds me of those Jdrama with the baby blue and pink theme lol. I wouldn't have clicked on it just by this photo alone. Thank god for those short tiktok clips that brought me to this drama.

I think the shares part is to make it believable that he only used her. And also, he know ZY's character, she won't easily give up on him and she will use those shares as reasons to still linger around him. He meant to clear out all her connections to him. The angst is too much 😭

I must say this is one of the very few dramas where I didn't lose interest after the couple get together. They weren't cringey at all, all their scenes are so natural and gave me butterflies.

I should have stopped at 20 for a while to absorb all the sweet scenes, because 22 is absolutely heartbreaking.

This is such an outstanding drama, it deserves a 9 at least so far.
Ep 22 is so intense, I am crying for the injustice of it all.
It's frustrating but I totally get why LX did that to ZY, he knew what he was about to do and didn't want to drag her down with him, it's totally believable given also his character where he rarely shares his burden to others.

And Gao, my god, he's worse than Zhi Jing, insecure, company-grabbing, backstabbing fake friend. Up to the last minute I was giving him the benefit of the doubt that he wouldn't go as far that, that their friendship atleast meant something to him. He played them all to his benefit. And now he go as far as kick a person who trusted him at his lowest moment.

I can't wait to see how the revenge plot will play out. LX and ZY deserves their happy ending.

My boy LiXun now looking like Kris Wu with the jail time.😂

oh yes! Reset, it's already on my list of all time favorites. But for some reason, in my head I keep thinking it was released 2021.

ep1 and I'm hooked! I can see why people are reminded of DOTS, the premise is same. but this has it's own charm.. And Sandra's acting is on point, she's so natural! and for some reason she reminds me so much of YeJin

oh no!!! whaaaat? where did you see this?

my first one is TMOPB, imagine I picked the most complex genre! haha
I was 13 episodes in and I still don't understand what was happening, luckily I was in the mood then and stuck thru with it and it ended up being one of my all time favorites. then I began enjoying historical and fantasy cdramas.
The first time I tried a modern Cdrama, I picked Well Intended Love because of the number of viewers here in MyDramalist. My god! what pure trash hahaha I stayed away from modern Cdramas years after that.
Thankfully I stumbled upon Begin Again and Go Ahead that restored my respect for modern Cdramas.

anyone read the novel?
without too much spoiler, will this drama get serious and angsty as it progress?
or will it stay comedic?

btw, I hope Xu Lina doesn't think Li Xun did it for her (to prove what she witnessed in the cafe).

I think along the way Kdramas lost their spark. I find myself watching and enjoying Cdramas more lately. The only issue with Cdramas is there's too many of them, and not everything is of high quality, so when a first time viewer unluckily picked a bad one it tends to leave a bad impression. But for sure the good ones are in my opinion a lot better than the hyped Kdramas.

This is actually one reason why I like his character, they didn't make him perfect. He definitely have issues with his attitude. In real life, specially in corporate work, he will surely run into a lot of troubles. It's not enough to be just capable, he cannot be a one man company, he will need others and he needs to learn how to be a team player (even just faking it).
He's quite lucky he got Zhu Yun to balance out the team dynamics. She takes care of the team's morale and he take care that things get done at whatever cause.

I've started and dropped all these dramas you mention. I wasn't feeling them during those time. I might pick up Alchemy of Souls again when season2 airs. :)

Love him in Lighter and Princess.

what's taking so long?
I was looking forward to this because of Luo Yunxi, but now I'm also here for Chen Fei Yu after seeing L&P.haha

I understand.. we all have different taste, or sometimes it also happens when you're just not in the mood for it. Happens to me all the time, I drop so many dramas and a few I pick up again after months and actually enjoy it.
No news with Dylan and LuSi pairing, although I imagine it will happen soon, but they will probably be really picky on which project given the hype the pairing will bring.
