Remarks
by FanFanX
[First Impression (Ep1-7)] I wanted to run away after the first two eps. It's loud and chaotic, so it took several eps to settle into this one. I enjoy seeing Gao Zhi Ting as ML (who will get the girl this time?). Subs are tricky... This is also why I was struggling to get into this one at first.
Guo Zeng You also directed A Year Without A Job (2022).
[Drama Info] (By cynlynn)
Real Couple. It’s just the first month, and already another real couple drama. Gao Zhi Ting and Zhang Jia Ning are rumoured to be dating. “Coincidentally” their date was exposed the day before drama announced its premiere.
Zhang Jia Ning and CPF. Zhang Jia Ning trended for calling herself a CP magnet (since she’s got three projects airing, all with a romantic line for her characters: the movie Shining for One Thing, Like a Flowing River, and Small Town Stories). It’s such an open praise that people were asking if she was hacked. Witty and kind fans supported her that she's just telling the truth. Can’t a girl compliment herself? (I agree. But it’s probably just not the smartest thing to do boasting on Chinese internet).
I suspect the above was the switch that led to her almost crying on a livestream. What happened: “cpfs” (= CP fans) of Shining for One a Thing left hurtful messages criticizing her, telling her to promoting her CP with Zhang Wan Sen. Now I didn’t watch the livestream to know how awful and how many comments there were, but girl had to end the livestream early ‘cause she was holding back tears.
