whammywham

I'm only in ep 4 but the editing really bothered me. I heard they edit the episodes from 36 to only 23 and it's sooo obvious. So many missing scenes ughh I'm annoyed

Have you read the novel? I'm actually curious how is he involved in SY life. I know he's a junior but there are thousands of junior in one school, why did SY dislike or awkward with him?

Actually, in asian culture he's also considered an uncle. Yifan kept saying she doesn't know him / no relation with him because she doesn't want to be associated with him.

Begin Again (2020), Here We Meet Again (2023), Intense Love (2020)

I read the novel after watching the drama and found out the Hong Kong runaway scene didn't happen in novel. In novel Sang Yan went to Yihe to meet Sang Zhi, he had an argument with Yifan before that because Yifan didn't let him know that her uncle is harassing her. Feeling guilty, Yifan also flew to Yihe to chase Sang Yan. And I feel like that's soooo much better trope than running away to another city to hide for months. Why did they change thatt

And do you know what their relation is about? I mean, in First Frost novel, there's a brief mention that Sang Yan doesn't like him. Why is that? And if he's SY junior, he should be Wen Yifan junior as well. Are they somehow a prominent character in this story as well, just like Sang Zhi and Jiaxu in First Frost?

Can anyone let me know what's their connection in the Hidden Love / First Frost universe? I'm reading First Frost and there's a quick mention of Fu Shize (Sang Yan saw him in supermarket and became angry). I was intrigued why is there suddenly a new character right at the end of the novel so I looked up Fu Shize name and came across this page. Can anyone that have read the novel let me know what exactly is their connection? Are we getting another drama with Sang Yan?

Yep. Li Rong is just nice to him because he helped her a lot

There's no love triangle actually, but the 2ML is annoyingly persistent. He thinks the ML is a bad choice for FL and want to prevent them from being together.

When I say the second couple I also include the grandparents cuz they're all always together anyway

I absolutely loved the main couple story but I feel like the second couple disrupted the flow of this drama. there are many times when the main couple is doing something that'll make you feel giddy but suddenly the scene jumps into the second couple doing whatever 😩 I also didn't like there are too many repetitive scenes that are probably filler to complete the 32 episodes. if we remove/minimize the second couple this is a 10/10 drama. Will rewatch and fast forward their scenes after this.

All ive seen about this drama is about how funny it is, can anyone let me know if the romance is good too?

He's always in love with her so yes

I'm glad I watched this despite the bad reviews. Some people might hate it because of FL swaying attitude, but anyone that went through the same thing she did would behave the same way imo. I personally find the drama gripping and have no boring moments til ep 10. It went downhill a bit after ep 10, but still it's such a good drama and should've been rated higher.

All the talks about film maker struggles/ having a hard time low-key irked me. It feels like the writer of this drama is dramatizing their own life

Update: I read the novel to understand the details of the drama but to my surprise, the novel is about their teenage years. So 80% of this drama aren't based on the novel at all. No wonder it's so bad lol.

The plot is interesting and would be soooo good if it's done right. But idk what's wrong with it, it's just meh. The story flow is choppy, I can't understand some of the characters actions. The girl swore she hates the guy, and suddenly likes him, and dislike him again, and suddenly in bed together. All of that with no solid reasoning behind it. The second couple is like that too. 6.5/10.

Do anyone know at what time will Netflix upload the next episode?

Imo it was slow the first 2-3 episodes. Watch it on 1.5x speed and just fast forward unimportant scenes

I've finished it with lots of skipping, and 2x speed. I'm certain this story was written in 2010s. So many bad tropes that shouldn't exist in a 2024 drama. And it's a shame because the main couple is so cute together. I love their chemistry especially towards the end. I wish to see them together again in a much better written drama.
