2012: Assuming 4 yrs of college (2008-2012) graduation at 21/22 (for those who went to college)
2014: Current timeline Ep. 20, adult life they are 24/25 years old? In Ep. 22, Fenghua's mom said Fenghua has been developing her business for 2 years in Beijing.

I doubt that will happen

Ma SiYi is the most complex character in this drama. Her internal struggles are so deep. I feel the character SiYi really added contrast and dynamics to the group dynamics.

yes, maybe it should have been even higher

When SiYi came to Flower STreet, she and Fenghua were both ten years old. Then at time of college entrance exam, SiYi was 17 yrs old. This is based on what was mentioned in the drama. So I assume SiYI and Fenghua and the others would be around 18 yrs old when they graduated from high school. I guess we can do the math from there.

Over time this drama should easily get over 100K ratings on Douban. This is a drama that grows on you with each new episode.

doesn't the male lead always end up with the female lead?

I read the characters in this drama does not exist in the novel so unless someone has the script, no one knows how this story will unfold. In the orignal synopsis on MDL,, Si Yi disappears and returns when they all reunite back to Flower Street years later, so I think we wont' see her or much of her until last episodes my guess.

Since SiYi disappears, I expect we won't see much of her in coming episodes until they return to the Canal.

or she didn't go to college because she didn't want to be a burden to anyone?

I think 7.0 is expected for this drama so it's good

the young actor Liu Heng Fu who plays Chen Rui stands out to me. Like Vanda, this is also his debut as a main character in a big drama. .

"teen" - 😬

Zhao Lusi persona would have been mismatched in The Double which demanded darker or more intense, tone.

The drama Unnatural Fire aired today. It isthe first fire criminal investigation drama and Xu Kai's Fire Investigtor, second of its kind. The male lead is Leon Zhang from ALP.

in the trailer I think she handed in blank sheet and didnt get to college. Did she give up because something else besides Grandma death? Grandma was her only motivation to succeed in life which is why her grades were so good. She wanted to become a teacher and return to be with Grandma. What else is inside her internal struggles. She is such a serious melancholy girl once full of hope and aspirations, and now what? She was always able to think through and figure out what to do, but how will she go on? Does she withdraw? Grandma was the anchor in her life, Does Fenghua remember what SiYi advice to her? SiYi motto in life is to not be humble, not to depend on anyone or owe anyone. The reason she chose not to to go Beijing for colelge ws the other one is free. Maybe she decided not to go to college due to financial issues.

He kept asking Fenghua "What did you two talked about?

I'm waiting to see how Fenghua transforms in the second half of this drama. Will Si Yi personality regress and Fenghua advanced?

I tink this drama will strike a chord with everyone in some way, shape, or form, transcending Chinese history and culture. I feel even if the situation isn’t something you’ve personally experienced, its universal themes will still resonate deeply.

She was going to buy her dad and mom something and herself a phone I think. The mother said she will save the money for her dowry. Later, didn't the mother break the piggy bank to use the money to pay for Grandma 's hospital bills? then later Feng Hua didn't mind at all, she sat there happy about the broken piggy bank as she pieced it back together, or did I get it wrong?
