sunkissedluna Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 In a way, first love never dies and for me any drama that talks about it will always be love no matter how many times it’s been used in a plot. I’ve saved this drama on my list after i saw the trailer the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latte_Anyday Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Why oh dear GOD why must they always style the female lead like this LoL!? I can't get past how she looks like a cross between a mouse & a chipmunk ha-ha! I do like how the male lead is kind to her - thank goodness, although it's mistaken identity again like how it is in Go2 Squid & Gank Your Heart.

Jafstar Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hi everyone! I’ve come to join the fun! I’m hooked after watching all episodes currently out, and I’m wanting more!! Is it Tuesday yet?? @Latte_Anyday That’s funny how you compared her to a mouse and a chipmunk. lol! Though, in my opinion, I like these kinds of dramas since they are heart-felt, endearing, always making me want to laugh and cry at the same time because of the awkwardness! Hahaha I’m so smitten with our quirky Xia Miao Miao! She’s the swan hidden in an ugly duckling disguise. I love her determined personality; it shines brilliantly though the odds seem against her. Even when she’s in a confounding situation, she’s a gem in the rhinestone. Anyone else seen the Thai movie that this is a remake of? That girl was even rougher around the edges, but her personality was so amazing. I love these kinds of stories that show acceptance of beautiful personalities, despite outward appearances being conventionally unfit. Looking forward to her growth to maturity, and seeing the love story play out. Thanks to all who contribute to this forum!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latte_Anyday Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hi @Jafstar Like in "She Was Pretty", Reba was styled with curly hair (what's wrong with curly hair LoL?!) freckles & she look fine to me LoL. I just think it's offensive is all (shrug) Then again I'm a sucker for these kinds of dramas but honestly it gets repetitive after awhile.. The female lead is always naive, plain looking etc while the male lead is aloof & most times mean. So it's nice to see that he's kind to Miao2.. eventhough she mistook him for the other bad boy, though thankfully she figured it out at the end. I'm glad they didn't drag it out. I just hope she doesn't get too co-dependent on the guy like "Playful Kiss" y'know? 'Cause that's unhealthy.. Anyways, I enjoyed the first ep. so far looking forward to more.

Jafstar Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Just dropping this: I adore how Liang You Nian calls our FL’s name. It would be funny if someone compiles all the scenes with him calling her name “Xiao Miao Miao”. On 10/28/2019 at 11:32 AM, Latte_Anyday said: I just hope she doesn't get too co-dependent on the guy like "Playful Kiss" y'know? 'Cause that's unhealthy.. Yeah I agree with you there! I love seeing a FL have her own interests and growth not based solely because of the man’s influence. And that’s what I see here with XMM; sure she’s got hearts in her eyes for her Senior, but she has her own thoughts, ideas, and plans for her future. She’s not basing her life around his life, yet she aspires to become greater and he motivates and encourages her to become so. In return, he is motivated and inspired to work harder through her antics and inquiries.***One can tell that he really respects her thoughts and opinions. Spoiler I love how LYN asks XMM how to handle her younger sister’s tantrums, and then he uses her tips in pushing Lin Kai Tuo to work harder to pass school. lol. ***Just watched episode 9. I love how LYN was inspired to use the cooling patch (that XMM gave him) to keep him alert when sleepy at school!!! Ahhh! My heart! He was thinking about her while they were apart!!! So cute!! Hi @ash1999 I’ve seen several Mario series, but that movie was the first time I saw Baifern. She did a great job with her character. Loved how the movie portrayed first love, with all of its teen heart angst. Spoiler This drama somewhat reminds me of an old book I read in middle school “Winter Dreams, Christmas Love” by Mary Francis Shura. It played out the heart-wrenching teen angst of Ellen Marlowe while in high school. She longed for her upperclassman Michael to look her way, only to find out he was looking at her since before they actually met. So it makes me wonder if this drama will show that LYN has been watching XMM all along as well. I’m a total sucker for this kind of sugar as well.

Jafstar Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 @angelangie Hi, if I can trouble you...may I please pick your translating brain and ask you a question about ep 12? Spoiler At 20:00 - 21:32 XMM is writing LYN’s name in the night sky, when LYN writes, does he just write her name or was more added to it? The person who uploaded the translation didn’t include anything that was written, and I really like it when they put in those minor bits since it adds more understanding to the drama. Thank you...

Latte_Anyday Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 God the way You Nian looks at Miao2 (swoon) he's so dreamy & I can't believe Kuan Lin's only 18 y.o. oooh let's not forget his smile another thing I appreciate about You Nian is he is genuinely amused by Miao2, probably finds her adorable. Unlike Playful Kiss where the male lead keep calling the female lead stupid tsk The theme song is real pretty~ It's funny how opposite their parents are LoL! You Nian's dad is against him taking the arts (architecture) while Miao2 mom is against her being an arts major ha. Meanwhile his mom & her dad are super supportive. How is it Miao2 lil sis is pretty & she's...not? It's like She Was Pretty. C-Dramas tend to spoil by revealing too much in end credits eheheh. So later on Miao2 will go through a transformation, she's already with braces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also find it offensive. These dramas act like curly hair, freckles and glasses make the heroines hideous unloveable freaks of nature. Also have to agree with you I'm getting tired of this formula. It's nearly always either plain, naive student obsessed with a aloof guy in school or university or naive, clumsy inexperienced woman with aloof, overbearing boss.

Latte_Anyday Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I just love it whenever someone agrees with whatever I say LoL! @raziela so yea thanks for that And IKR!? This must be like the tenth or so C-Drama that deals with the same pairing setup. Like why LoL?! Even the wuxia ones have the same It's a powerful male deity meet & falls for sweet but (yes wait for it) plain female fairy/deity sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raziela Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 10 hours ago, angelangie said: actually she didnt really change for the guy, it was more like she start taking more notes of her appearance than just letting it go......besides the guy seems to be one of the best thing in life for her too....not to mention she actually score better in studying too and also she want to be someone who can measure up and somehow i see this more like the process of growing up Thanks. I was going by the original plot synopsis but noe I've read your and @Jafstar comments and it seems like she has ambitions, hopes and goals of her own which sounds much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jafstar Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 11 hours ago, angelangie said: it was more like she start taking more notes of her appearance than just letting it go... Yes, the impression I have of XMM is she’s perfectly fine in her own skin, whatever she looks like on the outside. It was the actions of those around her that prompted her to change. ****I edited because what I have say may be spoilers for some. Sorry if you already read it before I edited!!! Spoiler Her Mom wanted her to get braces, however she didn’t want them because she was too focused on enjoying life and eating good food. lol. It wasn’t until she was fully embarrassed in front of her crush, provoked by his friend, that she decided to get braces. This may seem like changing herself for a man, but wouldn’t most people when put on the spot, want to change that source of embarrassment? Also her friends took her hair style and facial issues into their own hands by doing a forced makeover intervention. XMM was not necessarily in agreement as she was baulking over their choices, saying they ruined her hair and face. The glasses dropping and cracking was also out of her hands (pun intended), and she didn’t necessarily like the contacts as she was seen always rubbing her eyes from the irritation. The lovely choice of skin lightening PP was a subtle way of getting XMM to beautify gradually, to the point that she didn’t realize the change until her friend and classmates pointed it out (WOW! That’s a magical PP!) And can I point out, LYN didn’t notice her skin change because he’s more focused on her inner character, not caring for her to outwardly change. (He totally stole that prized lipstick for the prank, taking the choice of her using it for herself or her friends out of her hands completely, and in my view, he did it so that she wouldn’t start to be more pretty! Hahahah) I feel that the production company tries to highlight that change is good. Yes, they subtly showed that when you change your appearance, you can have gains. However they did it in a low-key, graceful way, not over the top, as most mainstream dramas exaggerate. (I hope they take the extra step to show LYN was attracted to XMM since the beginning, that her inner beauty was what made him look her way, not because she matured her looks. That’d be the cherry topping to my cake.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
