Wu Jinyan and Wang Xingyue have such sizzling chemistry. They make me squeal at their every interaction!!

Also to add: as they aren't able to use natural light given that they're in a soundproofed stage/controlled environment, it gives off that off-putting feeling when you look at the overall aesthetics.

I think what contributed to the low budget vibe is how it's quite obvious they were filming majority of the street and market scenes on a sound stage.

May I ask why you are bringing up ZLY whose completely unrelated to this work?

I don't know if it's just me, but at first glance you can tell they're shooting at a sound stage.

Liu Xiening's killing it! I always have a soft spot for the eldest daughter who had to stand up as the mom for their siblings and another pillar for their household. I can't wait for her subplot to be explored further.

Currently on episode 3 and was wondering how the mother would've survived without her daughters. She's not business-savvy and seems to be gullible as well. I can't help but shake my head whenever I see her, especially with how she just opened business without a strong strategy and now with the zither.

I've seen 2 episodes, and I might've missed it, but does anyone know how Qiong Nu is related to the Li family? Is she a relative?

Currently watching ep 1 and got sidelined into reading about the failed Wuxu Reform. It's such a revelation to me that there were important people who pushed for establishing constitutional monarchy in China but were silenced by the ruling conservative elite.

Does anyone know if the cast will make public appearances on variety shows, screenings, etc. for promotion?

This was very well said! I agree with you; his micro expressions truly sold me.

Now that I think about it, he was very skinny! I associated his sickly appearance with the character he was playing.

Riley, please come back on twitter! I'm begging you 😭😭😭

That's amazing!

Riley Wang really stole the show. He only had a cameo and yet every scene he was in, he made his presence known.

Does anyone know if Dylan Wang had a voice actor dub his lines or did they use his real voice?

The 2019 adaptation is hands down my favorite! It just hits and warms your heart in the right places. How they presented the story through visuals and the screenplay, it was very grounded and down to earth. The 2021 version was decent, but for me, it failed to express that melancholic feeling that I got from reading the novel and the 2019 adaptation.

The original novel's good! It's my guilty read haha I'm a sucker for stories that depict young love and secret crushes.

Decided to watch the first 20 minutes and the comedy's really pulling me in! The cinematography and direction seems to also be well done. I particularly love the scene where it transitions from the murder mystery game to a bird's eye view of the male lead transmigrating to Dafeng. Will let it marinate for a while before I continue watching.

I am so attached with Unrequited Love that I'd literally watch any and future adaptations no matter how subpar they are. 🥹 Regardless, Xin Yunlai's such an eye candy.

Currently on episode 9 and my heart is breaking for Li Haichao. He didn't have any ulterior motive for fostering both Ziqiu and Ling Xiao, and yet we have these kids' parents carelessly throwing monetary compensation at him. It's so disrespectful and downright insulting.
