Did anyone here read the novel? Should I read the novel to get more detailed story?
Tq. I won't mind the different characterisations, I always love finding that surprise in novel. But I need to know, are there side characters plot in the novel? Right now I'm most intrigued with Lao Yan and Jiang Feng's story because it seems like there's a huge chunk of story missing from the drama.
Like in First Frost, the side characters story were non existent in the novel, was only made up for the drama.
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
the connections:1. fu shizhe's nephew, fu zhengchu (similar age range) liked sangzhi when younger2. sangyan is…
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?
The harraser/rapist/killer was her uncle's brother in-law, not her real uncle (no relation to her).
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.
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
is there any relation btw the main characters in WITM and TFF??
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?
I'm seeing some are complaining about the second male lead... Is the love triangle that bad?
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.
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.
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.
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.…
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.
