Yup, there can be a love triangle but FL can’t actually have feelings for 2nd male lead. Only unrequited love.

So Chinese censorship won’t allow Harem dramas or FL being in love with two different people anymore but allows former step siblings being in love? Yeah okay.

I really hope FL is not too nice and passive like in other dramas which leads the enemies to come back and get them later, hopefully she’s a Ren Ruyi type of FL

She masquerades as a man while pretending to be her brother and while in the army.

Have u watched Tale of Rose? Wasn’t bad there

Gets together officially episode 21, another guy likes FL but she never gives him a chance, not worth watching in general tbh don’t waste your time

Average story but great chemistry, gets boring last bit of episodes

Ofc the dad went to Africa because there’s no starving people in Asia 🙄

Wait so her sisters husband is in love with FL?

What are you even talking about? None of the actors have responded to backlash no matter their significance. stop targeting Jisoo, you’re a very jealous and hateful person

Directors are trying too hard to be mature and gritty it becomes boring… Zhang Linghe is already not that strong of an actor so it doesn’t help…

It would’ve been better if Yingtao didn’t go to look for him and moved on and he found her later. But sigh. What can you expect from a character with no development and a male-centered personality.

Nope, not even close. Don’t waste your time.

Thanks for a real review, I’m only 1/4 in but agree. Ratings on here are not to be trusted anymore.

You must have never come across short Chinese dramas then cause those usually be under 6

I see all the shows you suggested have a more serious tone to them. I’ve only watched Moving and My Dearest so I’m just assuming. Twinkling Watermelon is a perfect show in every attribute for a more light hearted, happy theme. Where do you think it fell short?

I mean a wuxia or xianxia type drama, not historical

When r we gonna get a female centered drama like this... Any recommendations?

Who wrote this script…?! It’s so boring and bad. I don’t feel anything for any of the characters. 2x speed for the rest of the episodes 🙄

Sure let’s see, I bet the whole show is just gonna be her relationship with Qiao Xi. Even if she’s figuring things out she should have interests already or at least hobbies!!
