Spoiler Alert
Episode 15 of Such a Good Love hits hard with bittersweet nostalgia, quiet heartbreaks, and the kind of dreams that either bloom or break in the cold winter air of Beijing’s outskirts.
The Daily Grind: Yanjiao Life
We open in the winter of 2010, in Yanjiao—a place that’s technically close to Beijing’s CBD, but practically a world away thanks to the eternal traffic. Zhou Shui and Dai Daji wake up to the blaring alarm, dragging themselves to work with heavy eyes and heavier hearts. They’re not alone. Alongside three other friends, they’re stuck in a loop of being late, underpaid, and unrecognized.
Desperate to go full-time at their company, the group turns to Lai Chaoyang—who, having secured a permanent role only after four soul-sucking years, offers no hope. Instead, he signs them up for the “Creative Grand Ceremony,” a competition that becomes their one shot at making something of themselves.
Enter their passion project: “Fallen Angels – Yanjiao Edition.”
Lights, Camera... Chaos
Naturally, nothing goes as planned. The Hong Kong-style diner they wanted to shoot in says no. Equipment issues pile up. But support comes from unexpected places—Xiao Mao’s girlfriend, Xiao Huang, and others rally behind them. Then, a miracle: Dai Daji gets the call—the diner owner’s changed his mind. They can shoot.
In the cramped restaurant, they cobble together a scrappy but heartfelt launch ceremony, snapping their first group photo. Zhou Shui quietly thanks Dai Daji, acknowledging that without her, this film would’ve never happened. Dai Daji brushes it off with a smile, “That’s what girlfriends are for.”
But are they officially a thing? That gets murky fast.
️ Office Drama & Quiet Affections
Tong Leyi walks in on a man swapping out photos in Dai Daji’s office. Turns out, he’s the company’s chairman, Zhang, who’s a little too fond of Dai Daji. He replaces her computer wallpaper with his own photo, only for her to roll her eyes and ask Tong Leyi to change it back—to their crew’s group photo.
Tong Leyi notices Zhou Shui in the photo and teases, “Who's this?” Dai Daji coldly replies, “Just a colleague.” Suspicious, Tong Leyi assumes Dai Daji is dating the boss. Su Zihao, however, isn't buying it.
Victory, with a Side of Loneliness
The underdog film wins first prize at the Creative Grand Ceremony. Zhou Shui is overwhelmed, pulling everyone onstage to celebrate. But just as he’s about to thank Dai Daji, the mic is snatched away. She stands in the crowd, half-smiling, half-forgotten.
That night, over hotpot and cheap beer, the group dreams aloud—except Dai Daji. When teased that her "dream" is to marry Zhou Shui, she goes silent. Maybe it’s true. Maybe she doesn’t even know anymore. The high of winning is short-lived. Company leadership isn’t impressed. Xue Cheng storms out, slamming the table.
The Breakup of a Dream Team
Rumors swirl—the company may dissolve their digital department. Xiao Mao decides to quit, return home, and marry Yan Yan. He’s done with the Beijing hustle.
Zhou Shui tries to stay optimistic, claiming he, Dai Daji, and Lin Aze can still chase their film dreams. But Lin Aze drops a bomb: he’s already gone corporate. Worse—he’s dating Su Dan, who helped him secure a permanent role. Dai Daji slaps him. Xiao Mao holds her back. Lin Aze snaps, blaming everyone.
Zhou Shui watches helplessly as his once-close crew fractures. Lin Aze walks out with Su Dan. Xiao Mao follows soon after. Zhou Shui raises a bottle in mid-air... but there’s no one left to toast.
️ Epilogue: Where They Ended Up
After Xue Cheng leaves for good, the once-unstoppable five are no more.
- Xiao Mao returns home, marries into money, and lives the good life.
- Lin Aze and Su Dan get married and have kids—he gives up his art dreams to become a full-time dad.
- Xiao Huang becomes a famous livestreamer.
- Xue Cheng follows his heart and becomes a photographer for National Geographic.
As for Zhou Shui and Dai Daji? They stay in Beijing, the only two left standing from their original crew. They promise they’ll never part ways—that they’ll stay “glued together forever.”
❤️ Final Thoughts
Episode 15 is a quiet gut punch. It’s not about grand betrayals or cinematic heartbreak. It’s about the slow unraveling of friendships in the face of real-life choices. It’s about how some dreams spark into flame, while others flicker out quietly.
And it's about Zhou Shui and Dai Daji—two people still trying to figure out what they mean to each other, after everything else has fallen apart.
