OMG the beginning of epi 17 is sooo gooood, like what?!? How come ML is so juvenile? insisting to give her sketches in his car, getting possessive, lol.
One of the best way of dealing with a vague situation I've ever seen. She just went and...said it! Love her and…
This is just going to make PZ like her even more lol!
The dialogque & character development so far has been so great! Enjoying everything so far. I didn`t realize the director is the same one that did When I fly towards you, which is another gem that I loved, so makes sense why I`m loving this one too.
I have SO MANY thoughts after these latest episodes. First of all, for anyone considering not watching them because…
Thank you for this! I enjoyed reading your comments. For the 2nd couple, I think they're doomed. The guy has done too much behind his wife's back! Even though he is supposedly running around, trying to secure projects for his start up, etc. to establish himself financially and for their future, she is left completely in the dark. This is not even considering how he's meeting up with college junior who he clearly knows has a crush on him. He`s using the jr and her feelings to get his project, which is a scumbag thing to do TBH. Another thing is jr knew about him quitting his job before his wife! Inexcusable. Thank goodness 2FL realizes this & that all the "nice" things he's doing for her, like getting her snacks and the wedding anniversary "present" (free promotional gift from a cafe, for god's sake!), were just afterthoughts. He is inconsiderate, basically treating his wife like an afterthought too.
OMG 2ML is completely enamored with Hu Xiu now! after listening to the tram sunset song on her we chat. I'm liking…
Yup Pei Zhen. I don't think the love triangle trope is boring lol, espeicallly if 2ML serves as a foil to ML. Also first time I've seen 2ML in a cdrama, too bad it seems like he's always playing the same bad role, hopefully gets something different in the future cuz he's entertaining. I'm really Enjoying this so far.
Looks like 2ML is starting to suspect his father...I'm starting to think that 2ML will do the right thing and help ML uncover the truth about the stadium collapse.
OMG 2ML is completely enamored with Hu Xiu now! after listening to the tram sunset song on her we chat. I'm liking this development! What will ML do about it? Can't wait to find out! OMG XZY is too dashing & handsome, CXX so good here, and love how his eyes are so expressive 🥰.
Actually, I predict our ML will drop his revenge plot because of Hu Xiu!
I knew the moment she said the mushroom tasted weird that sh*t was about to go down 🤣
Yah I wouldn't have predicted that she would have hallucinations and it would tie back to the weird tasting mushrooms! 🤣 I totally believed it was snowing and so surprised it was all in her head, lol! At least we & ML now know she has a thing for Qin Xiao Yi 💓
Just finished ep 13, and it's so cute! I love them they are so good together. Love the romance part, which developed really well, very naturally & organically. Love also their outfits, the traditional hutong neighborhoods & interactions with neighbors, the modern building & interior design, the very cute opening credits, and just really so far everything! LIght & fluffy with great chemsitry & very good acting from everyone. I've never seen the ML before & he's soooo good in this role, very dashing. LYX has amazing chemistry with her ML, as always.
Well, first farewell to character letter and explaining how much it took to understand him and become him is from…
Aw, thank you for the links! I really loved LWM's farewell message to ZX & to us viewers. He really put a lot of thought, heart, & work intounderstanding & playing such a complicated and polarizing character. Truly appreciated his performance, which for some reason resonated with me a lot.

Hello, I'm actor Lai Weiming.
When writing this, the broadcast of "The Sun Like Me" is coming to an end, and I have a lot of feelings in my heart, and I want to tell you about it.
Frankly speaking, when I first learned that I was going to play Zhuang Xu, my first reaction was nervousness and uneasiness. I don't know where to start, how to do it, what needs to be done, and how to complete this role.
Nervous to nervous, I have to start preparing immediately. I opened the novel and read it over and over again. I also went to see Mr. Gu Man's previous works and the film and television clips that I think I can learn from, and found the character status as quickly as possible. I went online to collect readers' interpretation and analysis of Zhuangxu, summarized and digested it myself, and slowly took him into my heart. At first, I felt that he twisted, silent, and carried too much, and his emotions and choices would not be easily understood. I repeatedly asked myself: how should I walk into him? How should I take him out?
Later, I entered the group. To be honest, I was under a lot of pressure, but I seemed to be getting close to him slowly. I could feel his silence and his unspoken words. Zhuang Xu, in fact, we could not have been so brave... But there is no way, just as we face many choices in life day after day without God's perspective, there is no way.
From the beginning of the broadcast to the end of these days, a lot of words have been accumulated in my heart. Today, I can finally pick them up one by one and tell them to you.
When I put on his clothes, walked through the road he walked, and felt his every day with my heart, I gradually understood where his pride and emotions came from. His retreat and silence were not cowardice, but he understood the weight of the word responsibility earlier. He had to run faster to be able to grasp the choices about life. When he saw the dazzling light, his inner struggle and restraint were far more intense than he had shown. It's not that he doesn't want to chase light, because at the age when he should ignore it, he has too few chips to hold.
After that, I didn't just play him. I have found more empathy-for example, sometimes I am not very good at expressing myself, and I am used to stuffing my emotions in my heart. So I tried my best to give him everything I could in front of the camera. At least for that time, we went together.
After the play was broadcast, I carefully read everyone's comments every day. Whether it was criticism or encouragement, I accepted it all. I know that Zhuang Xu carries too many people's youthful memories and emotional projections, and any interpretation cannot fully fit the image in everyone's heart. It is these different voices that prove that everyone really saw Zhuang Xu and also saw me.
I want to say that Zhuang Xu may not be perfect, but he is not a "bad person". He is just a young man who wants to keep his dignity but is heavily pressed by life. To be able to play Zhuang Xu is a very precious journey for me. Looking back, I will have a little regret in my heart, and I have repeatedly thought about whether it can be better, but at that time, I put almost all my understanding and sincerity into it.
In addition to actors, like everyone else, I will be confused, make mistakes, be nervous, be embarrassed, secretly happy when praised, and even disappointed in myself at certain moments. Thank you for looking at me like this and still giving me company. Thank you for accompanying me through this imperfect but true journey.
Finally, I would like to thank Mr. Gu Man for creating such a vivid and unforgettable preface, and all readers for their protection and love over the years, so that this character has endless vitality. Thanks to the gaze of every audience, whether good or bad, it made me think more deeply about the weight of the profession of an actor. Thanks to all the staff in front of and behind the scenes, it was everyone's joint efforts that made this story possible.
Thank you for letting me into your life. Even if it's just a ride, this one will be the most important mark on my journey as an actor.
As a young actor, as a newcomer in the industry who is still learning and exploring, I know that I still have a long way to go before I mature and perfect. Acting is a lesson that needs to be practiced, and I have just opened the preface.
Every shot, every interpretation, for me is both delivery and homework. I cherish every opportunity to see my own youth and limitations. The unfinished depth of performance and the gap between understanding and expression are all the places where I need to settle down and polish in the future.
Grateful for all encounters, may we all see ourselves who have struggled in the difficult situation and respect our every choice.
The rivers and lakes are far away. I'll see you next time.
I haven't had the chance yet to watch properly the drama from ep 22, due to the Christmas fanfarre. What about…
It seems like the rumors were fueled by jealousy from ZX colleagues, who envied his talent, work ethic, workplace success, and good looks (kind of like how NXG was envied by toxic college friends).
We don't find out in ep 31-32 who started the rumors, but it doesn`t really matter, I think the most important thing about this happening to ZX is finally (!) he can understand how NXG felt after being maliciously and falsely accused by supposed friend group towards the end of their college days.
The dialogque & character development so far has been so great! Enjoying everything so far. I didn`t realize the director is the same one that did When I fly towards you, which is another gem that I loved, so makes sense why I`m loving this one too.
Actually, I predict our ML will drop his revenge plot because of Hu Xiu!
