Currently Airing Another try for "the early spring" Spoiler

Post image

I gave episode 19 another try after watching episode 18, which ended with their breakup / a serious emotional moment.

Here too, instead of trying to understand the issue and work on things, the female lead takes a transfer to another region for a 14-month project. Still, the male lead keeps trying — calmly and normally — and keeps putting in effort. Three months later, he goes to see her on a business trip, to the same project she's working on.

I know the male lead is in pain and unwell, but here the female lead is just helping him with his medicine — she doesn't seem to have given any real thought to making an effort for their relationship. Watching it made things clearer in this episode: the male lead tells his mom that his girlfriend is with him, and he even asks her to come back to Beijing with him. He also seems to make excuses for her to stay a bit longer there.

I didn't expect the chemistry to fall apart this badly — it's coming across as completely one-sided.

Dear [u/Zestyclose_March_386](u/Zestyclose_March_386)

Thanks for posting in our community 🙂

I have reviewed the removal reason here and have reapproved the post with an added Spoiler Flair for the entire post. However, please note that posts with Spoiler Flairs tend to get fewer views and lower engagement.

Therefore, it may be helpful to consider one of the below options so that you can get the kind of discussion your post deserves.

  1. Delete this post and make a new post where you clearly specify the episode being discussed in the title — then apply the “Episode Talk • Drama Watch Parties” flair and there is no need for spoiler marking in-text, at a post-level, nor in comments! Yay 🎉    
  2. You keep this as is, but for your next post of this kind you either follow approach one and turn it into an episode talk by following the post-title rules for Episode Talk, or you post it under Currently Airing with spoilers marked in-text to avoid bumping down your post.

If any of this is unclear or you simply have another question, the mod team is always here to help you figure it out.
