My Sunshine [何以笙箫默] Episode 5

I'm really not used to watching an airing Chinese drama. I did know that they release multiple episodes a day but this being my first time recapping, I'll never be able to catch up to their airing schedule. Haha. 

Anywho, onto the actual episode: what we learn from this episode is that good things don't last. 

My Sunshine [何以笙箫默] Episode 4

This whole episode is dedicated to Mo Sheng and Yi Chen's university selves. Not my favourite but I really like the young Mo Sheng. 

My Sunshine [何以笙箫默] Episode 3

They finally talk! It’s little but there’s something at least. I’m going to skip the surnames just cause I had two episodes to get to know the characters. I should be familiar enough with them that I can drop them, right?

My Sunshine [何以笙箫默] Episode 2

Onto episode two! I haven't quite gained back on what I invested but I'm still having faith in this show. The OTP better not bail on me. 

My Sunshine [何以笙箫默] Episode 1

         

From the same novelist, Gu Man, of “Boss & Me”/”Shan Shan Comes to Eat”, comes “My Sunshine” or “Silent Separation” (a direct translation from the Chinese title). I've decided to invest some of my love from “Boss & Me” to this new show by recapping it. It better satisfy my hangover from “Boss & Me”. First episode started off not with bang but quite decent, which is something because not a lot of Chinese dramas keep me at bay within the first 20 minutes. On a side note, If I were you, I'd totally refrain from watching Chinese drama trailers because they have no intention of hiding any spoilers… None.
