Disney+ in the US only has episodes 1-19 yet (more will come September 7, but don’t know how many). So I’m trying not to rush it — on episode 14 yet. Definitely less makeout scenes compared to this drama even though the author is the same 😁

There are so many rumors 🍉floating around, I try to not get excited until a release has been confirmed. I’m currently waiting for Hidden Shadow (with Wang Chu Ran), so I know the feeling.

This was an unexpected surprise, but it turned out so great. Feels a bit like a spiritual successor to LBFAD. And so. many. kissing. scenes 🫣🥰😘

Fans are clamoring for a modern drama with the leads 🥰

It’s so hilarious that a CEO/boss in C-drama must wear large glasses 🤓

ML stayed behind and missed his flight while waiting for FL to show up, so most fans would probably think he remembers her.

Because of government rules, creators had to make it seem like it was all a dream and couldn’t come out and say directly it was a fourth lifetime for the leads. But they threw enough hints throughout the series and at the end, that most fans will probably think it’s a 4th lifetime and not a wild dream.

All of those dates have not been confirmed yet, to the best of my knowledge (just checked pages for all three dramas to make sure). But let’s hope we see something good soon. I’m still watching Moonlit Reunion because Disney+ is behind (in the U.S.).

Our couple loves meeting on very long staircases 😁

In simple terms, SJ died (after being wounded) and got resurrected by the thunderbolts. And the physician was a spy for SJ :)

I made a grave error of watching it ongoing 😳🥺. It was one of the dramas that made be go back and re-watch Are You the One. That’s one of my go-to dramas to re-watch whenever my confidence in C/K-dramas gets shattered by very questionable screenwriting or storytelling.

This year there was an unexpected/disappointing ending to The Demon Hunter’s Romance (allegedly, due to iQIYI request). But the worst unexpected ending I can recall is A Beautiful Lie (2024). The cast was quite lovely and it was a pretty good drama until the last 2-3 episodes where all the wheels flew off and things went completely downhill. I think they were trying to be clever and trying to do an open ending but it turned out to be garbage (and rankings tanked to 6.4) 😈👿🥺

The resort name and boss’s name were already noticed by someone in episode 1. But the thing about fourth lifetime could also be plausible — screenwriters could never acknowledge it due to censorship rules (it had to be a dream/not real), but they are throwing a lot of hints.

My Dearest Nemesis was pretty good too. It was delightful to watch on Viki because everyone was united in their dislike of ML’s grandma 👿

OMG, just read your review of Bright Eyes. I don’t know if I could handle that ending. Maybe I will stay faithful to Fireworks of My Heart and keep rewatching that one (while skipping scenes with stepbrother and stepmom, lol).

I kind of wished they skipped straight to the modern world, but I do understand why they did the mortal realm.

Have you watched Love Scout? One of the best K-dramas and it got released in 2025. It’s great if you want a more adult/mature romance (leads are in mid-30s and ML is a single dad who is the greenest of all green flags).

This is from another comment (I think it came from same TikTok):

the timeline is that wei jiao arrived first. he established the company and named it sanshan (three holy mountains) technology, with a focus on resort investment, and also named the project qinggushan. he had been planning for years, and one day, he finally waited for a person named zou yan. zou yan slept in the hospital for one night, recovering her memories, and upon waking up, it was their fourth meeting; not time-travel, but a rebirth loop ---- a grand HE!

LBFAD started with a kiss in the first episode 😘, but yes, hopefully it shows drama makers that people enjoy seeing leads being loving/romantic throughout the drama and not just in the last episode or two.
