the official first frost drama platform posted both MDL and IMDB ratings on their weibo page (if you don't have weibo, someone shared the pictures they posted on the photos section of this drama page).

His acting level is really praiseworthy, I am drawn over his micro expressions. Initially, TBT was my most anticipated drama because ZLH is my fave actor but ever since I started TFF, Bai Jing Ting immediately held me captive and right now this is the only drama I am able to watch. I have become a fan though I knew him in you are my hero.

this is such great news, so it's safe to consider TFF is a global success too right?

ok let's watch together 🤝🥺🩵

I missed out on this information, your comment has answered my curiosity now because I was surprised the official platform considered it...turns out they had already targeted international market from the get-go, I failed to think of that.

I have yet to watch ep 28, I keep reading comments here 😂...now I feel sad it ends tomorrow we are gonna say goodbye to another comfort drama 😭

you're welcome ☺️

they are banned in mainland but they have ways or methods to get pass these restrictions, it's something similar to how we use vpn often when certain dramas aren't available in our region...though it's not through vpn this is just an example.

yes, many weibo users had long been expressing this ever since

I should have rated IMDB site too but I don't use that 🤭...yes better than a 7

I think a lot of people are genuinely enjoying this drama so there's hope 🩵

yes, it's been known by cnetz how douban is no longer reliable 😂...and I guess this is also the reason why TFF is the first official drama platform that considered overseas datas, they know it very well too.

if i'm not mistaken this is the first time an official drama platform regarded overseas datas about a drama, interesting how they are now considering this when they usually stick to mainland.

Thanks for reading my lengthy comment again 🥺🩵

Yes, she was deprived of a home. The last warmth she had felt was when her dad was alive but the moment he left the world, her world came crumbling down as well. You made really good points, these things you mentioned are so important as well and it's sad to see how these significant details that greatly affected Wen Yi Fan's being was forgotten by so many watchers. My heart goes out to Yi Fan as well, she has been through a lot.

Yes, she really is a character that resonates to many. Exactly and I will never consider her to be a coward. She is a brave soul 🩵

Thank you! 🤍...yes, if she did found out about the fight that occurred it would trigger her because she loves and cares for him just as much as he does.

he truly does embody those words...perfect description 🍃🤍

Interview of Bai Jingting and Zhang Ruonan talking about their characters 'Sang Yan & Wen Yi Fan' has been subbed. I recommend others to watch to get more in-depth insight and understanding about their characters.

I feel a lot for Wen Yi Fan's character what she has been through is not simply something that left a scar on her for life, but it is something that haunted and still haunts her throughout all her life. It wasn't just the pain that tormented her but the very memory of it as well. Remembering it, having a memory of it is like reliving that horrifying experience over and over again, it's an excruciating process that will eat you both mentally and emotionally. Every time she is sleepwalking at night she is actually going through the suffering again. I think what some people do not understand is that people with traumas are not only battling about living everyday life but they have so much internal struggles to fight too. This is exactly Wen Yi Fan's case, she hasn't healed yet.

It's easy to say that she should have done "this" or done "that"... this is because we are merely speaking from our own perspectives - what 'we' will do in her place and not what 'Wen Yi Fan' will do. We forget to step into her shoes, see it from her point of view. She is only a fictional character but what more if she was real.

Wen Yi Fan didn't only suffer from the SA and an injured ankle, in that very same night she lost her 'voice' as a victim the moment her own mother turned her back on her, leaving her to face the injustice alone while her very own mother refused to defend and believe her. We were shown how she constantly beg and beg, how she kept expressing how terrified she was but no one ever gave her a hand and reached to her in that crucial moment in her life. She only had herself. This is where everything changed for her, and I think what some forgot. Wen Yi Fan survived all these years by relying on herself alone, she had made it far because she closed off a part of herself that was completely let down. It is how she had coped all these years. She had never asked for help because the last time she did, nobody helped her, so she thinks that there is no one who can help her. She may have friends and Sang Yan is now a part of her life, she could reach out easily to them but it's not that easy for someone like her who has been accustomed to dealing with everything on her own, and someone like her who was made to feel like she was nothing but a burden - her mother abandoning her and her aunt's treatment towards her - it was all shoved into her system that she now believes she really is a burden. Again it is easy to say that she should seek therapy, but what we fail to consider is that therapy requires one to open up about their traumatic experience - Wen Yi Fan can't even tell her loved ones the truth so this is obviously the last thing she would want to do because she is not ready and willing yet.

I have never considered her character to be "weak", "stupid" or "cowardly" when she chose to run away to HK because I understood this is her way of coping and at the same time what she did wasn't simply to protect herself but she wanted to protect Sang Yan too. She loves him so much that she would rather let him suffer from her absence than make him suffer from something worst for her. I understood too that what she did still ended up hurting Sang Yan and I am not invalidating that here, but we have to consider the fact that Sang Yan has only been a part of her life recently - a year to be exact and love isn't some miracle medicine that heals scars. Wen Yi Fan has carried these scars since her teens to her adulthood. It is not that she can't trust Sang Yan that she is unable to speak the truth to him, its has nothing to do with Sang Yan but it has to do with herself, her internal struggles...her unhealed scars from her past. Talking about traumas is the most hardest thing to do for people who suffers them, it's the same for the teen Wen Yi Fan who has lost her voice that night and still is the same for adult Wen Yi Fan. People deal with trauma differently it is not the same for everyone, at the same time healing is not linear.

For me, this part of the drama isn't a noble-idiocy trope. It showed some realism about people with traumas. I also think the world would be a better place if people were like Sang Yan, not talking about his entirety but the fact that he handled this situation better than most real life people actually do.
