I've forgotten the year. I believe early 2010s, it was released before LLTG novel.
I'm actually wondering, since this got published in early 2010s and I understand there have been many efforts to adapt this to screen, maybe this started the trend?
LLTG director is muuuuch better. imo LLTG plot is ok but it is elevated by the directing, cinematography and main…
The story is very close to LLTG so I was concerned that this might be accused of plagiarism. As long as that's settled, I then hope that the drama writing, direction and acting would not disappoint the novel fans and everyone else who have been anticipating it.
Does anybody know what year the novel got published? The background of Shen Miao is similar to Chen Shao Shang of Love Like the Galaxy. Both are feisty girls who have military parents who left her to the care of a grandma who doesn't care about her. Coincidence or something else?
The conundrum is not so much why there are perverts, but more of why these perverts have blind supporters who ignore overwhelming evidence of their sick behavior. A favorite excuse of these followers is sympathy for the "bullying" or "witch hunt" the pervert is going through, ignoring the fact that the sicko's victims have been bullied and harmed much more and the "witch hunt" is the cry for justice. Just like another very high-profile pervert who has mounds of evidence against him but is being worshipped by his cultish followers. There's even a book calling him the Christ!
It's bad enough to have such perverts roaming around preying on the weak. But the more disturbing conundrum is the swarm of enablers behind them. Thus, perverts get away with their vile behavior. A famous pervert once said, "... when you’re famous, you can do anything”. It's a sad, vile world we live in when such a silly horrendous assertion turns out to be true.
After reading the novel, I understand why S3 is taking a long time to be made.
China's past history with concubines is why I suspected the author's intention. I bet a lot of men, not only in China but all over the world, would like that arrangement. Though I like the story of this drama as it relates to the ever night catastrophe, I don't like Ning Que's wandering eye. If not for Dylan Wang, I would not have watched this.

It’s been years since I read the book and the main thing I can remember is that I didn’t like Sangsang/Haotian in the last part. She seemed whiney and clingy. Another thing I wondered back then was whether the author was making a case for having concubines.
Garosero would be tickled-pink if he knows he is being considered an idol like KSH according to some posts here. I can’t even remember his real name. Do his worshippers gift him with thousands of flowers on mdl too or scream their heads off in his concerts? But AGAIN, anything Garosero is irrelevant to the bullying and extortion incidents that pushed Saeron to end her life on KSH’s birthday.
The distractions that KSH’s team is flooding the case with reminds me of what I read once that goes something like: Discussion about 2+2: Fact is, 2+2=4 Distractor: Well, 2+3=5
That is, those who refuse to accept irrefutable truths will distract.
After reading the novel, I understand why S3 is taking a long time to be made.
I’ve heard no news about season 3. But I’m looking forward to it.. They made a large change in the end of season 2 that I hope would remove what I don’t like about the last part of the novel that made Sangsang/Haotian unlikeable.
Oh...I didn't have time to reply to that single brain celled Organism but Idol in South East Asian Culture is…
"education and her are not a good match" 😂😂😂 Sadly, those who lack critical thinking, the very ones who need education the most, are allergic to it. Case in point, a once great nation that had fallen prey to decades of disinformation campaign are scrapping their department of education. It's a vicious cycle. Those who fall for disinformation most easily are those lacking in critical thinking. They don't like to be educated causing whatever is left of their critical thinking ability to shrink even more, making them more susceptible to disinformation until all their critical thinking ability is gone and they become like members of a cult, rabid idol-worshippers.
I was gonna ignore a comment to my last post since somebody else had effectively handled it but it's actually a good lesson in critical thinking. So here goes: My post: "Teach your kids critical thinking so they don't idol-worship sociopathic liars"
The comment: "You forgot to finish the sentence. Teach your kids critical thinking so they don't idol-worship sociopathic liars like Garosero."
Lesson #1: As user @God had pointed out, Garosero can hardly be called an idol according to the context of this discussion.
Lesson #2: It doesn't matter whether people worship Garosero or not. It's a distraction. It doesn't change the fact that KSH is a sociopathic liar; that he, through Gold Medalist, denied his relationship with KSR, feeding her to intense cyberbullying. According to reports. he even paid a Youtuber to join in the bullying. This denial and the cyberbullying happened long before Garosero got involved in the issue. Garosero just raised the profile of this horrific display of sociopathic cruelty. Add to this the reports that KSH/GM had been harassing KSR to pay a 700 million won debt that she didn't know she owed. If it's true that she had other pressing financial obligations, KSR's cruelty is truly sadistic, pushing her to the edge. That she committed suicide on his birthday is quite telling.
I just got reminded of why I don't engage with the following: - those with no critical thinking ability - starstruck idol-worshippers - trolls, paid or not
I hate repeating myself over and over but above types of people will refuse to understand points that go against their agenda, attempting to cover-up issues with distractions.
Another lesson in critical thinking. Understand what you're responding to. For example, "Even IF the idol commits murder in broad daylight in the busiest street..." is NOT the same as "Even WHEN the idol commits murder in broad daylight in the busiest street..."
Why the emphass in critical thinking? Because propagandists target this ability to brainwash subjects. Even a great nation is currently in peril because citizens have been targeted by propagandists for decades. Critical thinking makes you less susceptible to fake news.
As for this topic, don't be distracted. Garosero's relevance is that he raised the profile of what happened. But any case against him is a distraction from the main issue which is: KSH LIED when he denied KSR's claim regarding their relationship. His denial caused her to be intensely cyberbullied. She committed suicide on his birthday.
Note that Garosero has nothing to do with the main issue. Regardless of whether courts that have previously shown a tendency for misogyny declares KSH a ped*phile or not, he has already exposed his narcissism - he will LIE and do whatever it takes to cover his a$$.
Somebody with no critical thinking would say, "Both are celebrities", refusing to understand what the writer meant
Somebody with critical thinking would think: KSH's popularity dwarfs KSR's, whether domestic or internationally. Even in MDL, KSH has 17,154 hearts while KSR has 2,970. Many people who know KSH don't know KSR. I, myself, didn't know her before this scandal. That is, for some people, KSR is NOT a famous person thus NOT a celebrity (google the meaning of celebrity).
Obviously, the writer was referring to KSH as the celebrity, KSR as the victim. Reading other twitter comments before and after that comment proves this. Being PEDANTIC about the term "celebrity" is an attempt to EVADE the real issue.
Another lesson in critical thinking. KSH fed KSR to cyberbullies (denied what she said, did not defend her, even hiring a youtuber to fan the flames) to protect himself, proving himself to be a narcissist. He even admitted this in his cringey presscon. He has done this not only to KSR but to other artists as well (Sulli, Seo Yea Ji to name a few). Now that karma has turned the tables on him, he plays the victim. He's not a victim. He is REAPING WHAT HE SOWED. He sowed a lot more - pedophilia, extortion, among others - but I am mentioning one that doesn't need to be proven in court.
Note that narcissists are experts at playing the victim.
Alas, there seems to be an epidemic of extreme celebrity-worship worldwide. Not only in the entertainment industry, even in politics. Idol-worshippers will forgive their idols ANY fault. Even if the idol commits murder in broad daylight in the busiest street, his worshippers would find all sorts of excuses for him, even painting him out to be the victim when karma bites back.
So, those who think Saeron's justice seekers have quietened down because they have changed their minds, that's not the case. We've just realized it's useless and quite exasperating talking to idol-worshippers.
BTW, don't bother commenting if you're among the following that I don't want to waste my time on: - no critical thinking ability - starstruck idol-worshipper - troll, paid or not
If you think a funny, warm, well-acted, well-written, well-directed drama where a passionate ml fights for justice…
If you really didn't appreciate Eternal Love (Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms), etc, and haven't gotten past the surface physicality, then it's not surprising that you're not enjoying gotd. COMEDY and WARMTH are only felt by those who let themselves be drawn into the characters and scenes, not merely trying to follow the story. That you have thoughts of being manipulated proves you haven't let yourself be drawn in. This happens to viewers who view a drama with a fault-finding mindset. Try to lose the critical attitude and you'd FEEL, thus ENJOY, dramas better.

"Teach your kids critical thinking so they don't elect sociopathic imbeciles"
Couldn't help transforming it into:

- those with no critical thinking ability
