Li Lianhua, Everytime you walk away, it feels like you're going somewhere faraway.

I have been following this drama ever since this was a rumor back in December 2021, to June when this started filming and now when it finally released, as I've read so many articles about the novel and the ending, the story is about letting go of the past and I thought the ending would be a good ending for Li Lianhua.

I knew of the ending but when I watch the last episode, I'd never thought that it would make me stare at an empty wall for hours. There's something about his character that when he's walking away and you look at his back, there's this lingering feeling that he's going somewhere far far away where he lives a quiet and peaceful life alone. I don't know how to describe it but everytime I watch him walking while looking at his back, there's just this indescribable feeling that I couldn't meet him again everytime he walks away, and who knows if we'll ever meet again.

I also love the character development of each Characters and how they hold important roles in the story. And I must say, I love and Hate Jiao Li Qiao AHAHA, there are some parts that I hate her but I can't keep myself from also liking her for some reason, I like the way her character is written.

Kudos to the directors, screenwriters, actors & actresses, and to everyone ‼️‼️

Even as a student journalist, I'm not good at making a good and detailed review lol.

PS: This might be random but as an LOTM fan (Lord of the Mysteries[A Chinese Novel]), I can Consider Cheng Yi as Klein Morreti. No, I really consider Cheng Yi as Klein Morreti if they will ever make a live adaptation (Since the Donghua PV Released a few days ago, it's not impossible for a live adaptation to happen). Considering Omniscient readers Viewpoint is having a live adaptation, Can LOTM have one too starring Cheng Yi? I'm blabbering rn but I'm already imagining it lmao. ?

Thank you too for everyone on the comment section, I had a good time with you guys even though I'm only reading comments from the sidelines. I'll probably still camp here as I am having withdrawal symptoms.

I Feel Empty after Watching

To summarize, The story is about our leads getting together, Job hunting, and initially found a permanent and stable job. However, when something is going very greatly, you would actually question "Why is everything going smoothly?" As if implying that something very wrong is gonna happen in a blink of an eye.

The story started off very fluffy, the couple's meeting was super cute. What surprises me the most is that they got together at the 2nd episode HAHA. You know, if the leads are together in the early episodes, you would know that something will go very wrong.

1st episode to 10th episode, showed the way their relationship developed. The way they learned to be independent, earning their own money, and all, was actually very relatable for my part. As a college student, I will also soon to do these things, like Job hunting, facing disappointments (from failed interviews), and applying to more and more jobs.

From those episodes, everything was going smoothly and they have a very promising future, the leads have a stable job, FL runs a cafe and ML is soon to be promoted as a designer. However, in a glimpse of an eye, everything changed.

Everything changed when ML gets the diagnosis of his illness, the way he reacted to his diagnosis felt so raw and real. I can't blame him from hiding it from his friends, his family, and his lover. To be honest, if I were also in his shoe, I'd probably also keep it as a secret, since I don't want to be a burden, which made it more relatable.

But when he revealed it to them, everything really hurts. Even worse when the grandpa died not knowing his little grandson is not as healthy as he expected him to be before he left them. And the scene where the FL stopped him from attempting to drown himself hurts too much. The emotions were too raw, the emotions were too raw and too real at that part. The FL's plead and the ML's cry was too damn real.

I don't know how to interpret the ending in my point of view but, at the very least, it gave me hope.

To be honest, after finishing the drama, I just stared at an empty wall, feeling so empty. My eyes were too red from crying, that I didn't know how to feel after watching it anymore.

Be warned though: Starting from episode 11 to 24, pls do prepare tissues.

Since I like to torture myself into watching these types of dramas, I'll keep rewatching those memorable but heartaching scenes. This time, my tissues will be fully prepared.
