Episode 6 was the best so far. I only watched 6. Dongfang likes Hong Hong although he is very subtle. Hong Hong may still see him as the boy she raised. (This episode made me feel the urgency and responsibility of the main couple for the greater good and their predisposition to make all the sacrifices. (I don't really understand this issue of cultivating love. Cultivating love to strengthen the tree. Hong Hong needs to do this but there's no way :??? I think that's where the story of this love, of the main couple, will resolve all the problems. and I loved Dongfang helps her with his pure power (I like that the story is not only about the love element, but also about brotherhood, friendship.).

There are no more misunderstandings.

Episode 20:The two timelines meet in this episode.Timeline 2:It was the majority of the episode. In short: Xue Ming tries to win back Xia Guo. He explains everything that happened at that moment in the past when he bought the engagement ring, but didn't give it to her, and was left dejected, lying on the floor looking at the jewelry box.The episode makes us see her imagine him coming again asking her to marry him, and her looking like she's going to accept. But then she wakes up, and there in her wedding party store, she sees him walking through the door and what she saw in the dream happening.But her answer is no, she says he is acting out his play, and he thought she was going to play along, but no, because time has passed. But he doesn't give up and hands over the jewelry box. And at home, when she opens the jewelry box there is the purchase receipt showing the date of purchase, way back in the day, and it is the jewelry that she looked at so intensely that day.She cries disconsolately (as if saying: I have no chance of going back). But then, I heard the door bell ring and she, with her face full of tears, opens the door and looks at Xue Ming (both of them saying nothing), but implying that they are going to have a fresh start, a new chance.Timeline 1:It was less time in this episode, but it was wonderfully enough. Yu Jian takes Xia Guo to that hotel where she thought he was cheating on her with Wen Ya, but when she got there all her family and friends had organized a wedding ceremony.And she says to Yu Yian, Yu Jian's sister, you knew everything. They dress in their wedding clothes and enter the bride and groom's path. They look at each other, and Yu Jian's statement to her begins with: “Honey... and what he says there is very beautiful, and says everything about their story.Of sacrifices, of love that is worth it. He talks about the miracles that they fought and worked to happen, because they had perseverance. And then, he says, “I love you.” She simply hugs him and kisses him ardently and affectionately. They look into each other's eyes, touch foreheads.And the entire audience responds. The parents, their baby is there. And then (in a surreal way) this drama: Lenshan's Xia Guo meets Shanghai's Xia Guo. Lenshan's says she always wanted to go to Shanghai and will go. The one from Shanghai says she will open a business in Lenshan, after all it is her hometown.The two Xia Guo congratulate each other and congratulate each other on the happiness they have found. And they say there is no better or worse choice, but the choice that will make them better people. (This is the wish of timeline 2 of Yu Jian and Xia Guo from Shanghai being fulfilled: That they would both be better people in the choice they made and be well and happy.)PS:In the audience is Wei Ya and one of Yu Jian's friends, they are a couple now and they helped Yu Jian arrange the wedding party.PS2:This ending managed (despite everything) to be surreal and very good. Simple, it managed to get the message across and close both timelines in a positive way.

Misunderstandings

Episode 19:Timeline 2:In this episode, Yu Jian and Xia Guo meet by chance on a work meeting and reminisce about the past, and what made them get here apart. She stayed in Shanghai and he stayed in Lenshan. At the last moment as they look together at the sunrise. They said:It's all destined by the will of the heavens. But they are both destined to be happy and to be better person at the choice they make. They say goodbye on this bridge after sunrise, wishing each other that they are always well and happy. One day, after this moment, Xia Guo receives a gift in the mail. It's a box full of drawings that Yu Jian has made over the years, with her face, and some with both of them. She cried as she reminisced about the past since she was a teenager. And that was the real farewell.PS:In this episode, it is shown that in the day in the past, when Yu Jian rushed out and took the taxi after breaking up with Xia Guo: moments later he asks the taxi driver to go back to the meeting point, and there he sees Xia Guo hugging Xue Min and crying. In the car, Yu Jian drives away and cries disconsolately. (This makes us wonder: both of them, that night, thought about going back on the breakup, but there was a misunderstanding, and neither of them knew that there was this moment of possible reconciliation. Not now, neither of them has revealed that intention, back in their past, two years ago.Timeline 1:In this episode, this timeline was very unhealthy, as it revolved around Xia Guo's distrust of Yu Jian (who is not very transparent) in his work encounters with Wei Ya. Although the episode doesn't show this, I believe that in the last episode Yu Jian will clarify himself. But I think the way he interacts with Wen Ya is not wise. Doesn't he know that this woman is interested in him? And in this episode I didn't see a romantic conversation between them, it seemed like something mechanical, and he didn't take into account what she might be thinking. He gave her some cosmetics as a gift, which she suspected were from Wen Ya (but she didn't say anything directly), but showed suspicion. She found the store of preserved natural flowers, which one day, Yu Jian presented her with a rose grown there. She followed Yu Jian on a business trip and found Wen Yia getting on the bus with him, who was very friendly. (No doubt in this episode), Yu Jian and Xia Guo's relationship in timeline 1 didn't seem healthy. (While in timeline 2 it was a beautiful and poetic farewell). Why don't they craft a happy story for this couple? They have everything to be happy. And why not? I didn't like that. It's very ambiguous. I hope for a better outcome in the next and final episode.

Beginning a third phase in life.

Episode 18:Timeline 2:Xia Guo talks to her first boss that she would like her to work with her again. She, her prior boss, commented about herself: that she is fine not having any loving partner, she is fine alone, unlike Xia Guo who is trapped in love. Xia Guo officially ends her relationship with Xue Ming. Her other friend comments that Yu Jian is going to have a child with Wen Ya. Xia Guo takes off the necklace that was Xue Min's gift to her around her neck. Xia Guo resigns from her job, she says that this is the only way she will be able to get some rest. She starts a new food business with the bartender. She was working a lot and got sick, but she didn't realize it and had to have the bartender take her against her will to the hospital. She slept with her face on his shoulder receiving IV drips on her arm. The bartender tries to woo Xia Guo, even kisses her, but she firmly says that they are just good friends. Still, she understands that he has brought a little joy into her life and she is grateful for that. He gets very upset because she wants to expand the business and he thinks it's still early. And he complains that it seems that only her will matters and never his is taken into account. The episode ends with her thinking about her other self and wondering: how are you, Xia Guo? (She thinks to herself that she herself is maturing.)Ps:I remember in another episode she tells Xue Min that he doesn't understand her. At the time she said she'd quit her job and go with him, but he didn't take it (because he's probably afraid to commit in a deeper way, even though he loves her). And now, in this episode we see that she really wasn't stuck in that job, she likes to venture into new challenges, so he would be quite capable of doing a new business in Singapore, and continuing his relationship with Xue Min. Why didn't he want to?

A second chance that was put to good use

Episode 17:Timeline 2:Xia Guo and Xue Min find themselves at a crossroads that will inevitably put them further apart from each other. Xue Min even bought the wedding ring, but did not make the proposal to Xia Guo, if he did, she would have quit her job, her promotion and would have gone with him to Singapore, as she is not afraid of new beginnings, but afraid of losing him. He went to work and take the job in Singapore, but he left a message on her cell phone: wait for me, I'll be back, because he said they could always meet on weekends, though she said: that long-distance relationships never work.Timeline 1:Yu Jian and Xia Guo are living together but had to give up babysitting. One day they were talking and the baby fell out of bed. At the hospital, the couple regrets the fight they had at home, because of her desire to have a job and he wants them to move back in with his mother's house. And that his mother would be very happy to be with her grandson and with them.That day when she came home from work tired, lunch was sent by his mother. Yu Jian's mother found out what happened to the baby, and one day, when Xia Guo came home from work, Yu Jian's mother was taking care of the house and the baby. And then she realized that Xia Guo had a fever and made her a ginger soup and made her rest. Xia Guo has a sad surprise, her mother is in the hospital about to die.Her stepfather said that she had known about the terminal illness for a year but didn't want to tell Xia Guo. At the hospital, her mother, before she died, said goodbye to Xia Guo and acknowledged that she had always been selfish, but in this last year she sought to be a good mother to her and a good grandmother. She said to Yu Jian: Take care of her, I'll leave it in your hands. And he cried and said yes. PS:There is a moment in this episode when the two Xia Guo, on a pier, talk and console each other for the death of their mother. But I didn't like Xia Guo's statement from timeline 1. Xia Guo from timeline 2 asks her if she could make a different choice. And she replies that there are no second chances, we just move on. (I don't think that kind of response reflects what the drama shows.)The choice of Xia Guo, timeline 1 (he was happy, even with problems, was more significant). (What I think is what the filmmakers of the drama mean: that whatever choice we make, there will always be some regret. But I think it looks like it wasn't worth that life. And I see it in the drama that it was worth it, the story of timeline 1).

(Secretary Kim's real boss):

Episode 2:This boss is very convincing and tough.I liked the feeling of the change of scene (this other reality/life). As if I could snort and do differently.

I like this mother and son together.(although my ending to this drama, I know which one I want).

I want to hold your hand and not leave this mortal world.

I just watched the first episode.The main sentence of the drama is: I want to experience the extraordinary. (In other words, she doesn't want to have a mediocre life), in which her boss humiliates her and makes her go so far to buy coffee just because this small-town boss wants to show who's boss.But at the same time it's as if the plot wants to show us that she wants to experience everything, not miss anything (the plot wants to show us the pleasure of having lived through several choices). Not having the displeasure of saying: I chose this life but I couldn't live the other (although the other life doesn't know about this life), the story makes us feel as if we had been able to experience it (and you won't be able to look back and say: I didn't I was able to live this).Who is the male lead, someone asked here: Obviously it is Yu Jian (Liu Xue Yi), the boy who dreams of a simple life, having a wife, children, grandchildren. (But...wait a minute, he's not failing to live out his dream of being a great engineer).The main couple ride a motorbike through the beautiful little town and say to each other: You will be Mr. Boss, I will also be Mrs. Boss. (In other words: We will be important). We will not be mediocre (as if they said that).Well: What's special about this male lead? The very song that closes the episode says: "I want to be with you. I want to hold your hand and not leave this mortal world." "A Wonderful Life is this simple song." "No need to choose."But the episode ends with her in the other reality, with her sophisticated boss from the big city. And Yu Jian's father's health problems, what happened? We'll find out in the next episode.
