lovehbhjw2013 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 This is a pretty interesting drama to watch about 4 very different neighbours living at a condo. Somehow all the guys they meet make people wonder if they are cheats.... So the mystery keeps me going...plus one of the girls have some trauma she has to deal with which is also interesting.

lovehbhjw2013 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hmmm.....The cast is a bit weird...no wonder I feel that the guys are cheats.. I hope they can change the guy courting Andie... Qidian..he is way too uncle for her....or the romance cannot take off... Maybe he is placed there because the romance will not take off. Somehow he looks like a daddy for her. When he held her and try to kiss her...I CRINGED so badly... I find her boss lao tan is matching her better...perhaps she is ending up with him....he is sooooooooooo patient and so sweet to her....a bit like a big brother and yet gorgeous to be a lover. hee hee...I sound so shallow...but I think the cinematography effect is important in a drama... LOL Funny I can accept the KSH who is a 70-plus year old man in "Glamourous temptation" for ES but I find this Qidian who is a lot younger maybe acting as 40s in this drama so weird to match Andie...... think the Chinese casting calibre is not as good as the Koreans or in this drama, they plan to cast this guy out of Andie's life so they deliberately find someone unsuitable. The other weird pair is HR lady, Shen Mei(SM) and her old classmate, WangBaiChuan(BC). He looks so much younger than her like noona and dongsaeng and yet they were classmates before... Another mismatch kind of couple....so again I am suspecting that there is something wrong with the guy who is courting her....i.e. has some ulterior motive. Well I hope that there is a reason to cast these awkward-fit guys against the lead ladies and not just a case of poor casting and I am thinking too much... LOL I have no issue with noona and dongsaeng couple but they must look comfortable when put together, that's all. So, I m hoping the plot moves quickly to move the guys out and bring in new guys suitable for them otherwise it is very HARD to watch the drama... Unfortunately, Chinese drama are filmed ahead and completed before releasing, not like Korean ones which can change the plot as they film by taking viewers' feedback.

Big G Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 My first Chinese drama. I really like this drama. Cast are great but I'm wondering what Qi Dian's story. He seems to be hiding something. In the trailerAndi was accusing him of being married but I 'm not sure. The girl who lost her job annoys me so damn much. i hope she grows up really soon. Gua Guan is also mysterious. I like her but others don't seem to like because she is hiding something. I know this series is about 45 episodes but i'm used k dramas where everything is revealed pretty soon. I try to be patient but aaaah I want it to be over so I can find out who will they end up together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovehbhjw2013 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 @Big G, you can accept Qidian with Andie? ....I think for me, it is SUPER HARD to watch them kiss...... hopefully I don't puke On the other hand in the kdrama "Neighbourhood lawyer JDH", even though Park shin Yang is not good looking, I can accept him kissing Kang Sora....why is it so strange? PSY has more charisma? I think PSY looks less uncle and more sporty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read something about Qidian Spoiler that he would give Andie a slap and then leave her for good later... Not sure how true but apparently he is only a TEMP guest in her life. Phew!!!! What a relief!! Yes, I think every character in OTJ is interesting too. They are not perfect, in fact full of flaws and yet they get along just fine complementing one another. I think friends should be like that. No need to be the same but need to be considerate and care for one another despite all differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any info about whom she will end up with??? but that Qidian is also the main cast, right? ught... well, so many kdramas the heroin didnt end up with the lead male, sooo...:P sorry la, im being mean. lols. and her boss is the one Qu xiaoxiao talked about? having 3 or 4 mistresses??? omo... correct me if i was wrong. i really like this jie. her character is so strong yet so naive. she just didnt know how to show her own deep color. im curious about my Wang kai's loveline. i just watched until ep 11, since the sub hasn't reached 100% for ep 12. any spoiler???? " No need to be the same but need to be considerate and care for one another despite all differences.

But I watched till 16th ep so I really don't know what to expect. I even heard ithere will two more seasons so... This drama is very weird.

I am surprised that Dr Zhao's relationship with QXX moved so fast. Didn't they say earlier that he has a girlfriend of 7 years? Will he turn out to be another scumbag like Bai? Hope not, cos I like Wang Kai Watched up to Ep. 18. Enjoying it so far. I squirmed also whenever QiDian made his moves. Not sure what to make of Wang. Is he also putting up a front to appear rich? I find it hard to believe that he has remained single all these years, supposedly pining for Fan Jie. Hmmmm ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekaron Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 There is a strange feeling towards all the men in this drama, like more than meets the eye I actually like AnDi with ShengMei, if Chinese drama has room for same sex couple Xiao Xiao is the most entertaining for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovehbhjw2013 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I am at EP 34 now... WOW...alot has happened since. I can't say I like Qidian with Andie now but he has really helped her a lot. Though I can accept him as a good friend for Andie, lover is still kinda tough. Perhaps I understand a bit better why QiDian is cast for Andie because Andie needs sense of security which QiDian can give because he has no Casanova image. Neverthless, I hope they end up as good friends and let QiDian be Andie's first lesson in love but not someone she would end up with..*pray* Andie has another suave suitor who appears later...maybe he is the successful one....maybe...... For the other girls, alot has happened to Qiuying and Xiao xiao....Guanguan's life is more like water...a bit bland but she has had a crush... The Fan Jie has the most dramatic experiences of all...won't spoil the experience for you.. keep watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omiki Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I can't believe that it just ended like that?!?! I want to know what happened to Bao Yi Fan and An Di!!!! i want to see the story of Qu Xiao Xiao and Dr Zhao!!! Highly entertaining drama. Looking forward to Season 2.

The guy she met in party when she went there with fan mei. ah my bad.. i forget his name. i kind of ship them cuz with him, andy looks a bit more relaxed than she did with qi dian. or her boss. but her boss seems having some women in life, soooo pass. i somehow understand qi dian's perspective but... it's kinda pushy. i don't like him. not for being andy's last love. agree with you... first love lesson better. haha... 16 hours ago, omiki said: I can't believe that it just ended like that?!?!

Able to watch without subs. The new guy is Bao zong or Bao Yi Fan and yes I love to see them together. Even Xiao Xiao said An Di is more relaxed when she is with him. QiDian is indeed overly pushy and always seems to do the wrong things for her when he becomes too eager and overly enthusiastic. He dug his own grave eventually... Approach and timing is always so important in courtship. Xiao xiao has one of those "number 13" kind of character, loud and seems uneducated(but she is) and very spoilt in her ways, yet I must say she is a very street smart lady. Dr Zhao is attracted to her because there are things he would not be brave enough to do but she would do it. She has the kind of aggression that he lacks and sometimes it is necessary to be aggressive in a situation especially when being bullied. She is also very "upright" in friendships and will help her friends though appear reluctant because she does not want to come across so easy. She is also a good problem solver. She is very relaxed in her attitude towards life and she does work hard for her dues instead of thinking she deserves everything from her dad. She is a very oddly balanced character and in real life...should be pretty tough to find someone like her unless she is one with a rich background but brought up in a harsh environment to become so strong like her. Chances of someone so pampered as her acting this way is quite unusual. Dr Zhao's 7 years girlfriend, he has already broken off with her. In one episode, he even tried to get rid of xiao xiao by asking this ex-girlfriend to stand in as his girlfriend. Sometimes I find Dr Zhao a confused person, his head and his heart cannot connect. LOL If comparing to Dr Zhao with Xiao xiao his life would be much more fun and colourful than if he has chosen someone like Xiao Guan...who is a tad overly boring and no character for me. It would be interesting to watch a season 2 to see how Andi transform herself. There are too many loose ends..Fan Jie also has a loose end, Xiao Qiu Ying also has a loose end... Think the only one without any loose ends is Xiao Guan whose life is bland like water as of now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Allie Li Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 this drama is really good have finished watching it . the end was okay. they have lots of explaining to do in the second season. i hope they all have a happy ending. is just me or think they should pair up Xiao Guan and xiao xiao friend who name is cao bin who she always party with, i think he will be a pretty good match for him because he always so joyful i think xiao guan needs a guy like him in her life to give him more youth and enjoyment of life. she needs a bad boy in her life to be more interesting. i think they will be an interpreting pair.
