Why boyfriend broke up with her. Excerpt from the novel.
Ji Xing is a workaholic and by neglecting their relationship, made her bf realized the sad reality that their relationship can't go on. They blamed themselves.
JX: "Please wait for me. I won't be so busy soon." bf: "I can't be there for you when you need me and disappear when you don't." JX: "I'm sorry. I won't do it again."
bf: "Xing'er, we're no longer part of each other's lives. It's my fault. You couldn't get the investment, you couldn't buy the equipment, you don't understand management, and you encounter various difficulties. But I can't give you anything except useless comfort. I can't just stand by and watch your life without being able to participate. I can't bear the feelings of helplessness. We just have different paths to take. What I want is a plain and simple life, to have enough time to be with my family, to give them enough support and dependence. But I can't give you these things. I'm not the person who can support you anymore. You aspire to achieve your own value, create infinite possibilities, and explore the outermost limits of your life. We just want different things, want to take different paths, so we can't to on like this."
it's amazing how Xu Kai can dub himself 6 months after filming wrapped and he already finished filming another drama and this is very first time doing post-production dubbing. It just blows my mind how that works because how can you remember all the emotions for the lines
I hope there arenβt any bad third wheels in here. 40 episodes for a modern is ambitious.
Flight to You is an example of a highly successful modern drama with 39 episodes.
Perhaps in a 200-chapter novel, parts of it can be skipped, but in an 80-chapter novel, the story is more focused, so not as much to skip. In 200-chapter novel, there is room for subplots, side characters, and various stages of the story that can even be adapted into sequels. In contrast, an 80-chapter novel tends to have a more focused narrative. It's a single, cohesive story without as much room for digressions. For 200 chapters, they can selectively skip certain parts or expand on subplots. With 80 chapters, every episode becomes critical to maintaining the story's coherence. If an 80-chapter novel was condensed into too few episodes, it might feel rushed or incomplete. Costume dramas have the advantage of elaborate sets, costumes, and historical context, which can be captivating. Modern dramas focus on contemporary life, relationships, and societal issues, requiring more depth. It is important to maintain focus and coherence in adaptations. More important than how many episodes is the execution by all involved in making the drama.
I'm glad it's 40 episodes. Their personal and business story is rich. I like this story a lot especially the high-tech entrepreneurial setting involving AI and Medical products.
