This is the first time for me to read a novel before watching a drama. I've watched Flight to You and Masters of my own. As I read the novel, I can already picture Seven Tan in the role. Honestly, she's perfect for this role. I can't believe how detail the novel is describing product development and angel investors. I wonder how much the actors have to learn too.

HT: ""Do you really think angel investors are angels? I am here to make money, not to help you dream."
JX; ""You don't seem easy to get along with."
HT: ". If we become partners, I will probably treat you well."

The more I read, these two characters are fascinating people and so different from each other.

The people in the market are in a hurry
A play, I remember the women in the play

Grandma Chen Shuzhen and mother Liu Wanyu, the superb performances of the two made me seem to get a glimpse of the core of the play

Grandma's life, Miss Qianjin was born, accustomed to seeing Shanghai's ten-mile foreign field has also experienced the ups and downs of the century, when she was young, the family married her to the old age can praise the grandfather of the Yao family who is "exhausted" in business, the heyday of the family, the old house Xing'anli has more than a dozen such properties, it seems to be the most noble life. But she is not happy, she has a cheating husband, a son who can't be disciplined, the times have changed, the family has sold her business, left her homeland and went to Switzerland, leaving her in Xing'an under the plane tree to guard her life and her home, she met the grandfather of the Mai family, a little old man who brought her happiness and warmth, and her life also ushered in some new families.

Uncle Cui said that no one was optimistic about it when Grandma took over Xing'anli, and everyone thought that Miss Qianjin could be in charge of the house, and she went down the beach in a few clicks. She told Cheng Huan and Zhiming, "It's useless to complain, you still have to rely on yourself for your own affairs, and self-improvement and self-reliance are the truth." Grandma straightened her back, resisted the wind and rain, and kept her home and homeland.

She knows the world but not the world, she is the boss who sees through Zhang Peisheng's plan at a glance, and she also teaches Chenghuan to live for herself, to be loyal to her heart, to be independent, and to learn not to be strong in everything, her family is to share with each other, and she is a life mentor who takes care of each other, she has seen the wind and waves in her life, she calmly arranged the aftermath of the funeral, and gave the old house to Yao Zhiming, she hoped that Yao Zhiming would have a home that would let him feel the fireworks in the world, she gave Xing'anli to Chenghuan, she hoped that Chenghuan could use the power of temperature to bring Xing'anli, which accompanied her all her lifeKeep the "homeland", maybe she will be able to return to Xing'anli after a hundred years to see the full humanity of Xing'anli as in the past, look at the old employees, look at the relatives of the Lao Mai family, and look at Chenghuan Zhiming. In the end, she danced the last dance of her life peacefully and said goodbye to the world.

Grandma said a word, Zhiming don't be like a stray cat all day long, I just don't feel at ease. Seeing this, I seem to understand the choice made by my grandmother, she loves her grandson, and she also loves Cheng Huan, she recognizes Cheng Huan's ability and quality, she wants Cheng Huan and the Mai family to give Zhiming a warm home, so that Zhiming, who has been lonely and lonely since childhood, can feel the warmth of fireworks in the world, which is more ironing than any amount of money and status, at least in the eyes of grandma. Cheng Huan and the Mai family are worthy of entrustment, she entrusted Yao Zhiming and her little grandson to the Mai family, and she was relieved.

Grandma is a warm, kind, shrewd and capable woman who can afford to put it down. Thank you, Mr. Wu Yanshu, for bringing such a subtle interpretation.

's mother, Liu Wanyu, is a middle-aged person who seems to have a strong desire to control, and always imposes what he thinks is good on his children, chattering. and the father of the nest, combined into a suffocating combination. But if you think about it carefully, Liu Wanyu's whole life is trying to be an authentic Shanghainese, which is another very complicated issue, regional economic development and the "chain of contempt" between the old and new Shanghainese, she and Uncle Mai spent their lives settling in Shanghai, raising their children, and making their children natives of Shanghai, she also wants to find a good family for her daughter without having to live a cramped life in the alleys for a lifetime, she wants to keep the Xin family she thinks is the best for Cheng Huan, and she agreed to the Xin family's marriage proposal over Cheng Huan. She has the careful calculation of the small people in the market, she is also a mother who loves her son like her life, is a woman with a gentle and kind background on the premise of giving herself, she has a stronger backbone, with a determination to break into the world from the beautiful village of Anhui Province to Shanghai, the ups and downs pulled the two children, she gave up the career of drama, she chose to break into the future, she is not a great woman, in her I see the self-improvement and courageous progress of ordinary people, people go to high places, water flows to low places in the world.

In the end, she sang a dream she hid under the tea of rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar on the crowded stage, she is so dazzling and beautiful, she also had a girlhood full of expectations, she also had a longing to step into the flowery Shanghai, she also grew up from a little daughter to a mother.

Teacher He Saifei's experience also seems to be integrated into Ms. Liu Wanyu's life, she once spoke out for the opera industry and young opera actors in the show, "You say that you stick to Chinese opera, how can there be so many noble ideas, he is a hobby, he likes it from the bottom of his bones, the revitalization of opera is really not shouted, such artists do not protect, do not give basic survival, to whom?" she said that she also went to film and TV series because she couldn't arrange scenes in the troupe.

She is also "Liu Wanyu".

The "Liu Wanyu" who compromised with life also had their prime.

Finally, I would like to talk about the old Kohler Yao Renfu, he grew up in Xing'anli when he was a child, he eventually returned to Xing'anli, he introduced a flower, grass and tree to the guests who came to visit Xing'anli, just like his father's generation, just like he never left, the glory and withering of the family, the fallen leaves return to the roots, what is his life, like a fish drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing.

Thanks to the two young actors, Yang Zi and Xu Kai, for giving me the opportunity to see the story of this new wine in old bottles, thank you.

XK worried me. In an interview, the guy asked him if he ever has regrets as an actor and he cited ABAY as an example when he went for dubbing, he felt he could have been more passionate. XK has never disappointed so I shouldn't worry.
I like that the fl is a really smart and talented engineer from a elite university working in high tech involving AI and robotics. This is very interesting area to me. I hope this drama will give enough screen time to the entrepreneurial and business side of the story to add depth and authenticity alongside the romantic plot. These are great roles for both Xu Kai and Seven Tan.
I feel like Seven Tan is perfect for this role. I can't think who else would suit this role but her.

Historically, many stories emphasized men as protectors, providers, and chivalrous figures. The idea of a man going to great lengths for the woman he loves aligns with societal ideals of romance, sacrifice, and devotion, evoke strong emotions and provide vicarious satisfaction, showcases the man's commitment, vulnerability, and strength, introduce tension and obstacles, become aspirational figures who embody noble qualities. Many drama viewers are women. The “knight in shining armor” trope fulfills romantic fantasies. Dramas draw inspiration from classic literature, fairy tales, and myths that often feature heroic men who overcome obstacles for love. The man’s actions symbolize love’s power to conquer all.

That is a beautiful scene, has a very raw feeling to it. Loads of chemistry. You feel like they belong together.

They always edit out the best shots. I saw a bts that shows full shot of YZM complete embrace. Very beautiful. Long arms and large hands gently caressing her back.

I was reading ABAY novel, and I came across that Han Ting went abroad at a young age, so it should be okay for XK to have a slight accent.

The Chinese government want standard Mandarin. I read some comments on Douban that gives me hope for Xu Kai's accent. They say that his Mandarin has improved, and the accent is slight. They also cited examples of other actors who have slight accents too. There are over 300 dialects across China, everyone has an accent. Cantonese accent is more challenging to overcome. Xu Kai was born 1995 around the time the government forced the schools to stop using Cantonese in classrooms, but he grew up next to HK and went there a lot to eat and shop.

If this mother is "abusive", there are kids who are truly abused who would take her for a mother any day.

Cute chemistry. Playful dynamics. It's hilarious the way YZM said nope with simple and direct tone. "Men should be modest. Do you know what modesty is?" "Nope". MCH is so flustered by him.

she looks so delicate in his embrace. XK has broad shoulders, long arms, and big hands. I noticed in BCE, the bts captures it better, then watch the actual drama, and the shot is not revealing.

Xu Kai dramas gets the most unusual comments you will never find with any other drama.

YZM was just teasing her.

maybe he rather focus on his acting? Xu Kai's figure is rare for Chinese man.

This drama is not a love story as love stories go. It's a story centered around an intergenerational gap between mother and daughter. For me, there was chemistry between the leads but just not the kind of chemistry some may be looking for due to the nature of the story.

A mother's greatest accomplishment in life is not her career but giving birth.

MCH: "If you were born in my era, you would become a great artist."
MCH Mother: "In my life, I married your dad, and gave birth to you and Zao. It is the happipest thing for me."

she loves him, she said she adores him, but she chooses freedom.
after they marry, the prince feels guilty because he knows she never wanted to marry him

I have not watched in over a year but for me, I love XK in this drama. I rate his acting in this drama as one of his best. I think the dynamics between ml and fl make for good chemistry because there is a realistic tension and passion between them due to the nature of both of them. As for the fl changing from warm to cold toward the prince, there is a reason for it. In fact, everything that happens in this drama, happens for a very good reason, and the plot is very consistent and dramatic. There are things that happen that take you by surprise. However, there must have been some editing that might have cut out some scenes, so I did get a bit confused here and there, but I love this story so much, I read all the comments on You Tube and figured out.

ok. anyway, the first time I ever saw Xu Kai was on Yanxi Palace, I noticed his striking walk, it had a sense of purpose, confidence, and power. It really stood out to me.
