He can deliver messages between kids :)

I enjoyed LoFG, but LoFG drama writers don’t know words “realism” or “logic” 🤣 There’s a scene where a character is rescued from drowning in… well, you will see 🤣🤣🤣

Borrowed 😉 He was still safely within confines of the camp, so I don’t think it’s a full on kidnapping

Ep. 27 — it’s in the teaser.

Of course it doesn’t make sense, but FL doesn’t know how that works, so she’s not asking any questions. She’s too focused on finding ways to acquire meat 🥩 for her husband ;)

Point well taken on leadership skills. I guess in the drama version we see her budding leadership skills as the leader of the little squad 🐷 , then she will earn merit in the upcoming battle and progress from there.

The leads have looked perfectly fine in backstage segments and all the interviews, so I chalk it up to gossip 🍉 that some people are throwing out there.

You are welcome! MDL summary of AYtO is badly written, so I wanted to give a better explanation. There are multiple spoilers that we learn throughout the drama, so reading reviews/comments can also be dangerous. BTW, even if you don’t have any paid services, AYtO is on YouTube for free with pretty good official subtitles (I’ve watched it in full on Viki and ln YouTube).

Thanks! Drama events are more plausible than the novel (unless it was just her & her squad). Hanging out on an edge of a cliff is a lot less dangerous than looting an enemy camp.

The one a bit similar to this one (but a bit lighter) is Are You the One. In the beginning ML pretends to be FL’s husband and they live in a small village like in this drama. In that drama FL almost died because of mysterious injuries, lost recent memories and confused ML for her husband. FL is rumored to be bandit leader’s concubine and ML is a local lord who’s trying to catch that person, so that’s why he plays along and becomes her husband while using her as bait. But it quickly escalates because FL is very smart & savvy, so instead of staying at home she starts helping her “lazy” husband by opening up a business, etc. And similarly to this drama, eventually there are war campaign(s) and things become more serious as heroes are dealing with empire-wide matters.

It’s going on very well, but they are releasing 1 episode per day now (except for 2 days), so it won’t be done until March 30 (per Netflix; unless Tencent/iQIYI do express package).

Does the novel elaborate on what sort of punishment ML had in mind for FL before everything went wrong at the end of Ep. 25?

Someone said there’s a 5 year gap in the novel (FL is 15-16 and ML is 20-21). In the drama FL is 18 (and maybe turned 19?) so that’s why we assume ML is around 23 if they want to maintain same age gap.

Even without knowing his motivations, this is one of those common drama situations where a character has lied/hidden the truth for so long, they try to find a perfect time to confess but — as we all know — there’s no perfect time.

ML is suffering consequences of his (in)actions & lies. FL is just trying her best to get him some meat 🥩 without knowing his true identity & status.
But, of course, if FL’s husband was a regular soldier there’s no way she’d been allowed to do stunts like that — she’s just too innocent to realize that.

What plot was different/better in the book?

That’s a very wise move considering how dramas often find ways to drop the ball at the end and give us an unsatisfying ending.

Yes, let’s be real, if she weren’t his wife, there’s no way a regular person could take a prisoner (lets alone a VIP hostage) and taunt opposing forces.

Yes, it’s one thing if a scene wasn’t filmed because actor/actress wasn’t comfortable with it, but cutting already filmed scenes is silly. Especially since marriage and birth rates are very low in China currently, so you’d think the government would be encouraging people to get, ahem, proactive 😉❤️‍🔥

Can’t wait for the IU drama! 🥰
