Su Ran Ran's Husband Hunting Journey Episodes 46 to 50 Recap Finale

Done! It's a happy one.

Su Ran Ran's Husband Hunting Journey Episode 40 to 45 Recap

These set of episodes cover the Red Lady's love story and the beginning of Ran Ran's cursed life.

I'm kind of sorry...? I had this written up years ago but didn't have time to edit so I never published it. There's also a lack of screencaps for later episodes. But I don't have Episodes 46+ ready at all... I'll actually have to re-watch it and re-learn everyone's names again. So many brothers, I forgot their numbers. But uh, I'll try, probably without pictures...Thankfully the episodes are short and there's only five left. 

With You Episode 7

Episode 7: You're all already at the age where you can have an ID!

Geng Geng is the primary suspect for the cheating incident but we all know she's innocent. So who's going to take the blame? 

With You Episode 6

The class is acting out Snow White. Guess who's Prince Charming and Snow White? 

You'll never guess it. 

With You Episode 5

Episode 5: “After you brain develops a bit more, you’ll be fine!”

Exams are coming up but Geng Geng has other issues to worry about meanwhile Yu Huai's worrying about her not worrying about exams. 

With You Episode 4

Episode 4: "Chan Ho Nam! Xiao Jie Ba."

Yu Huai and Geng Geng are having a lovers' quarrel when they're not even lovers. 

With You Episode 3

Episode 3: “Why aren’t you waiting for me to be prepared?"

This episode we’re introduced to the second leading man, Lu Xing He. Don’t be tricked by his playful façade, he’s surprisingly wise.

With You Episode 2

Episode 2: “Are you willing? I am?”

The last part in that quote sounds like "I do" in Chinese. If you're thinking of marriage, you're spot on. There’s even an aisle to walk down. The one walking down that aisle though is Yu Huai's and he's moving steadily towards Geng Geng (;

With You [最好的我们] Episode 1

Chinese Title: 最好的我们 (Literal translation: The Best of Us)

Episodes: 24 (2 eps/week)

Here I go again with another school based drama. It’s about a boy unconditionally in love with the class’s dumbest girl. If you’re wondering whether the boy happens to be one of the smartest guys in class, Bingo! Already the setup is soooooo old but I caaaaaan’t help it! I LIKE IT. What do I do? I recap.

If I can work out my weak spot like it’s a muscle, trust me guys, I’d do it. I got this incredibly weak, flabby spot for dramas with this kind of nostalgic ambiance. There really has been so many school-based dramas but this one just naturally stood out to me. It wasn’t showy, nothing overly dramatic; the characters were just down to earth. 

Su Ran Ran's Husband Hunting Journey Episode 36 to 39

Alright, so I did forget about this drama (sorry) but here it is, the long-awaited love story between Ri Xuan and Yue Ying! I wasn’t too impressed with how they fell in love and that may have had a toll on me getting this recap out on a duly manner but now that I’ve revisited these episodes again, I’ve come to appreciate things I’ve completely missed before, e.g. the reason behind why they’ve got names of their own but go and adopt new ones for themselves.

On a side note, I'm so glad I get a break from all those dark scenes. I love the green in these episodes.

Su Ran Ran's Husband Hunting Journey Episode 29 to 35

I did not forget about this drama!

For these seven episodes Ran Ran is on her way to becoming a vampire. New love is blossoming, families are reunited and old love is being remembered. Not much at all.

Su Ran Ran's Husband Hunting Journey Episode 24 to 28

Someone dies and someone revives. Things are forgotten and things are revealed. Relationships are amended and then they're broken. 

Su Ran Ran's Husband Hunting Journey Episode 21 to 23

Ran Ran remembers she's Yue Ying! But it’s only temporary...

Princess Jie You Episode 1 to 4 (Jie You and Weng Gui Scenes)

I’m just recapping/translating my favourite scenes in detail, which all revolve around Weng Gui and Jie You in the beginning of their romance. These two are love and the fact that they’re dating in real life makes me love this couple more.

You may need to read the summary in my previous post to fully understand this post.

Princess Jie You Episode 1 to 11 Summary (Brief)

Sooooo good. Are you going to be the best drama of this year? 

The story is written out in history already but it’s the process of how Jie You gets from point A to point B that is so satisfying to watch. Zhang Xin Yi, the actress playing Jie You is beautiful and charming. The couple took their on-stage chemistry off-stage too. These two are dating in real life, which explains why their chemistry in the drama is through the roof. And my gosh, Yuan Hong has never looked so fine on my screen before. He looks awfully good with facial and curly hair. 

I don’t have enough time to recap this fully. Even this is only a very brief summary of the overall storyline. Episodes 1 – 4 were amazing to watch and I didn’t mind going through them again to translate scenes that made me giddy. I hope some subbing team will pick this up for you guys. I don’t know, maybe try begging on every drama site for subs? xP. This summary does no justice to this drama; there are so many tiny moments that enhances this drama’s worth that my simple summary cannot capture. Even if I were to go as far to explain every detail, I still don’t think it’d be good enough. Plus, this drama is just so pretty to watch. It'd be a waste just to read about it.

Su Ran Ran's Husband Hunting Journey Episode 16 to 20

It’s time for this man to do the noble thing and suppress his love for Ran Ran. At least the drama gives us more romantic moments between the two first.

Su Ran Ran's Husband Hunting Journey Episode 13 to 15

I swear I’m not being lazy but it’s much clearer if I summarize these episodes together because there’s one common theme: Sacrifice.

Su Ran Ran's Husband Hunting Journey Episode 12

This is an episode that makes me like people I haven’t particularly liked, e.g. Qin Lang. I never disliked him, I just never liked him. Still, nothing can beat my love for Ri Xuan and that goes the same for Ran Ran. Last episode had Ran Ran falling in love with him all over again; this episode has her trying to deny that love.

Su Ran Ran's Husband Hunting Journey Episode 11

One of my favourite episodes because it’s all dedicated to Ri Xuan and Ran Ran, which is why this episode deserves its own post (: 

Summary: Ran Ran might be falling in love with Ri Xuan all over again.
