In novel, He Ran knew she wouldn't survive so she wanted to stop receiving treatment and be with Xiao Han at his village. It's a lot complicated in the novel, but to simplify, the ending was she's with Xiao Han in the village for quite a while until her body couldn't take it, Xiao Han took her to the nearby county hospital. Xiao Han had to go back to his village because his ill mother needed him, then there's an avalanche or storm that trapped him in the village. He couldn't make it back to He Ran before she died. So yeah, tragic ending. I'm glad the drama left us hanging instead of keeping it true to the novel version.
I found out that google translate has gotten so much better recently that I can read Chinese novels without confusion. I just finished reading Forbidden Flower and the ending of the novel opened my eyes about the ending of this drama. Spoiler below.
This drama is all over the place. You can tell the director wanted to give it a noir vibe but it has the typical cdrama comical acting and silly plot so they can't keep the vibe and cinematography they wanted. And the story is just a mess. What even is the main plot of this drama?? I'm writing this right after watching ep 15 where there's a major twist and suddenly we got a whole new different plot.
I'm gonna drop this after watching 1 and half episode. I don't like how there's no clear genre for this drama. It's confusing what were they trying to tell.
But can someone explain to me why is ML a gangster? The gang he's in are not his family members right? And he didn't want to be a gangster since young. So what made him work as one?
I read the reviews and comments here before watching so I knew the final episode will be bad. But even with that mental preparation, I was absolutely flabbergasted. Wtf was that ðŸ˜
Btw, what happened to the female bully? kim hye yeong? Did she just disappear without explanation or something happened to her but I missed that part?
Watched this with 2x speed while having meals and I still can't stand how bad it was. The actings are so cringy. The plot and the tropes are so outdated it makes me wonder if this was produced in 2014.
It is a youth drama with angst and conflict............
Ok. But can I just say you camping on this page being defensive on every comment is not healthy. I hope you do get out and touch some grass as well. It's just a drama, chill. Take a deep breathe.
Last comment as I have better things to do in life than wasting my time here.To those who want to watch the drama…
Can you let me know how is the novel better than the drama? Do they have slightly different plots?
My main issue with the drama is it feels like they have never ending problems. They barely get to be happy/cute for few scenes before a new conflict arises. It's so frustrating to watch.
If the novel is more on the happier side I might want read it. And do the novel have mature elements in it?
I'm at ep 10 and considering dropping it. I feel drained watching this. So many conflicts, angst, and tensions. I thought this would be a youth/growth drama.
How many episodes do Netflix upload per week? I just started watching so I don't want to binge too quickly if I have to wait for more weeks for it to complete
I mean I see Romance and Youth. Am I the only one that thinks that Chinese dramas are more fixed on Youth, almost…
There are thousands of Chinese dramas out there and youth genre only made up of small fraction. If you think all Chinese drama are about youth it's because you only seek for that genre.
I asked the question above because MDL description are not usually accurate and I want answer from someone who's actually watching this drama.
I thought I wouldn't care about the lack of kiss in this drama but as I watched I understand why everyone is angry about it. The plot of this story supposed to be sensual. The kiss scene supposed to happen because the dialogue demand for it. Its not a typical drama where a peck happen after they got together or what but it's literally the entire point. When they removed the essential scene, the story became choppy. Let's blame the production team instead of the actress though. They shouldn't hire her if they knew she won't do any kiss scene.
It's still a fun drama though. It's just frustrating to watch.
