Lemme get back to you LOL

Remind me again if I forget

It’s a huge scene in the novel hehe. I think almost all the Nanjing cuts were part of the novel. I’m gonna go reread them now

Also maybe the FL was a lot more shy in the Thailand scenes so easier to pass censorship? While she’s a lot more forward in Nanjing. I’m bored so I’m imagining the director / editor getting censored, throwing a tantrum, and purposely editing it like this to tell us they got censored 😂

instead of surgical scissors they used a paper machete

I feel like we’re all dr*g addicts craving those scenes haha

probably made it to my favorite drama of all time. like everyone else said, the editing was choppy at times, but i thought the emotional scenes were extremely well directed and acted. with the cinematography, acting, osts, OOZING chemistry, insane push and pull tension, and sensible enough plot, i truly felt immersed in their world. the double yearning is a cherry on top

my complaints about a lot of dramas these days (both korean and chinese) are that they don't focus enough on the leads (too many characters and subplots), plot takes a 90 degree turn to squeeze out more episodes, chemistry fizzles out immediately after leads get together, screenwriter makes a stupid sad / open ending for no reason (cdrama) or to leave an option for season two (kdrama), etc. etc. this has none of that, which makes me so so so happy.

trust me, the cnetz are demanding for it too 🤣. even saying if the govt wants them to have more kids, they should let those scenes air

LOLL

Omg oh no

Do you know why He Yu wasn’t in the more recent Thai sweet episodes?

Besides that, 10/10

Tho Esther’s dramas are either a hit or miss for me, funnily enough, I think my favorite two dramas in the past five years are this + LBFAD

There better be a special episode with the wedding 🫥

Omg pls no time travel; we’re gonna get an 5 min reunion ending with them staring at each other before the camera pans to black 🥲

So was his Thailand devouring aura organically developed off camera after first kissing her in nanjing 🧐

Hehe jk

I actually thought the opposite haha — the first half was exciting but the second half explores the characters and plot a lot more in depth (especially Jiang Mu’s), and it was so satisfying to see how they both evolved from six years ago.

Commenting not for the sake of arguing, but just offering a different POV in case there are any new watchers who are curious btw

But the acting and the angst are sooo good 😫🤌

First time ever rating each episode cuz what the helly this deserves higher than a 8.3 🤬

Fwiw — IQIYI subtitles when Mumu imagines ZhaoZhao is “the taste of my coffee… do you remember it?”

But he actually says “my taste… do you remember it?”

🥺

His employee told her he’s married with a kid; when she asked him directly, he didn’t answer her qn and asked her if she was seeing someone

Major props to you if you can say you’re single while the person you pined after for six years is likely married with a kid haha
