I appreciate the fact that it's not a crazy tall guy with an extremely short female. So tired of seeing that pairing (as much as I love My Little Happiness) and it seriously hurts my neck. They understood each other so well and their chemistry reminds me of You Are My Sunshine's OTP but even more sweet and poignant at times.
Sometimes, I'm in the mood for light, fluffy and silly rom-com. Other times, this slower pace, gradual burning of love is what I want.
The dialogue with the main leads and the supporting cast is pretty deep as well. I actually like that there is no second or third couple. (Although there is plenty of interaction with various couples, in their good and bad moments - they were more real.) I appreciate their story so much more. I understand that the exes were necessary - too show how much another's insecurities could affect you, and to realize that you just let go and truly move on. I was relieved those situations were not dragged out for too long. Who knew this cdrama would have so many layers.
Coming from someone who's had to deal with a partner not wanting to "burden" me with certain things. I think Yu Tu not wanting to date her and rejecting her twice - had a lot to do with the male ego/pride. He has this intrinsic belief that he's not worthy of having a partner, even though she really and truly understood and believed in his dream from the very, very beginning. And time was something that they'd have to deal with no matter what. For him to think because he couldn't spare any, that nothing was better than even a minute amount was the wrong way. His understanding of love was realized when he finally saw her as a person, and her belief in him has never wavered.
I also had to skip aerospace jargon - way beyond my comprehension even I truly believe it's an amazing field. Complex math and science language makes my eyes glaze over - not being disrespectful - my comprehension just isn't there. (I've attended medical and science conferences with my partner and I've had to take breaks or else I'd embarrass him with my napping. LOL)
Yang Yang nails it on being handsome, reserved yet boyish somehow. He also has more than two expressions! I could listen to his voice forever. (Those letters!) Dilraba Dilmurat is so pretty and serene. She's the perfect foil for him. I can't imagine a better pair for this series. They just got sweeter and sweeter (best relationship goals). And I love how low-key some of those important moments were instead of over-the-top. I almost sobbed during both proposals. And I now officially want a jacket with cape sleeves.
I was not a fan of the wedding/rehearsal scene. I understood what they were going for - but it was aesthetically too busy for my poor eyes. But their dialogue, especially his words, were beautiful.
My favorite ep has to be 22. I was cracking up at 5 a.m. (Binged this on Sunday and finished it just now....) Now, if I get this DVD set with English subs, I'd be so happy. Definitely on my list of favorites and so glad I found your recaps bc I trust your judgment/feedback! The trailer/promos were not compelling, nor did they convey the depth of this story. Best spent 25 hours. Going to watch Love 020 for more Yang Yang
