I'm at episode 8 rn and its so crazy, I'm dying from laughters. I love all the references like songs from the old Legend of White Snake and Tan Jian Ci's Lost You Forever (sad song but I couldn't help laughing at that scene. its perfect lol) Hope I get to see more references coming from Li Landi's other dramas too
Oh didn't think ML is colorblind like ML in GO into Your Heart (also costar LLD)
I agree with you about the ulterior motive... Because clearly his father wasn't happy with her too. So why want…
or the 70 years old lady who has been staying at the hotel for half a year. Clearly shes rich rich. No normal citizen would be able to stay that long without the money...
Tmr's episodes seem tense. Ex-bf better not do something underhanded like publicly smearing Su Ye's name or pressuring Xi Fan by using her work and the media. I feel like he has some ulterior motive for suddenly trying to get back with her, not because he actually "love" her. If he really regretted breaking up, he wouldnt wait months after to make up. The nerve of this guy...
Their problems is mostly because why give him hope by flirting with him, etc 🤣And the last take initiate to…
I think she was so drunk she didnt remember the kiss otherwise she wouldn't be asking him the next morning, whether he meant her when he said he fell for a girl he met in April, which was the last thing she remember him say before she got drunk.
People blame her cause the way she turned him down was mean and inconsiderate. Even her best friend told her it…
Thanks, what you said made sense. Though I always wonder if she even remembers kissing him as she never mentions anything about it (unless I missed something). Appears to me that while she was drunk, she wanted to turn him down nicely too when she started with the "Thank you for liking me..." but then maybe found him attractive and ended up kissing him? Same for when he was on the sofa and she snap out of it before actually committing the deed. Can't say I blame her for being mesmerize by that face and lips hahah (and with SY cunningly pretending to be asleep and hand drop that book no less)
Perhaps its the case of her brain telling her to think logically but her heart and body telling her otherwise. lol
She strikes me as more the introverted type who have trouble explaining herself and her complicated emotions when shes nervous or under pressure. She was also like this when she was face to face with her ex.
Man, I anticipated that Xi Fan will turn Su Ye down because of her emotional baggage but I didn't think people be blaming her like this. Tbh its not like she totally rejected his feelings, all she said was she has no plan of being in a relationship because shes gonna study abroad which is reasonable considering the pain and cause of her previous breakup. It doesn't mean she doesn't want to at least stay friends with him. She felt just as bad as him afterward.
Her bestie was being a good friend by telling her to go explain herself properly to him so she helps created an opportunity for them to meet and talk by bringing her to his place to eat. Initially Xi Fan wanted to avoid that too and felt it was not appropriate until Su Ye gave the okay. Thus saying that she showed up for the free food or was inconsiderate of his feelings really isn't fair either
Su Ye's junior saying what she said really overstep the line. It was supposed to be a matter between Su Ye and Xi Fan only and she shouldn't have meddled in without understanding both sides. Do you think she was selfless when she told Xi Fan to stop misleading or to stay away from Su Ye? No, I think she said all that out of jealousy and want Su Ye to quickly give up so she can have a chance. Even Su Ye realize why she said all that so I'm glad he put her in her place and ended her internship with him.
I was worried it would be like "Mr. Honesty" where FL lies would often be exposed by ML and he didn't care to make FL look bad and embarrassed in public (and I feel second-hand embarrassment easily too lol)
Luckily unlike ML in MH, the ML in City of Romance, although disliked lies, he is considerate enough to keep quiet until later privately confronting her about it and also understand that her lies are well-intentioned and meant no harm. I'm really liking this drama so far.
I must say from the ML forceful and mean attitude in the beginning, to the FL and ML's sister ridiculous screaming and yelling with their high pitch voices (the latter is worst) ... I'm kinda struggling to finish the drama. Them fighting can get pretty ridiculous and unreasonable at times. Although their relationships and character developements gets better in the second half of the drama. I feel 40 episodes is way too much.
I really like Li Qin's other dramas but here her role really doesn't fit her. She is so much better in more mature roles with a calmer tone.
I feel like he's too determined to give her up. They'll probably talk about it; besides, he knows that one of…
Yeah I'm just worried since she had a bad experience with long-distance relationship with her jerk of an ex-bf, she may avoid Su Ye for a while in fear of burdening him or getting hurt. Though I can tell, with his gentleness, patience and reassurance she will eventually walk out of that emotional trauma.
That kiss caught me off guard with blushing cheeks and I'm smiling ear to ear. 🫣🥰🤭
Omg I hope tmr's episode won't start with Shi Fan rejecting him because shes going abroad soon. I'll feel so bad for our boy who is so happy and so sweetly in love.
whoever is in VIki comments talking about the transition please stop go find yourself a team and translate something…
Totally agreed. When I see people in Viki comments asking why the episode hasn't been translated yet instead of real comments, its really annoying and take the experience away from other viewers. If you watch the episode when its not 100% translated, thats entirely on you so either find another source or do it yourself. Subbers did it voluntarily so the least you can do is keep your complaints to yourself and have patience.
Since it's going to be torture waiting for new episodes, does anyone have recommendations for dramas that have…
I think "The Oath of Love" have similar vibes and ML is also a doctor. "Amidst a Snowstorm of Love" is another good one. I'll add those to recommendations.
Currently aired "The First Frost" which is a spinoff of The Hidden Love should be similar too but I haven't start watching it yet.
Been awhile since I watch such a beautiful and nostalgic love story. ML was forced to let go of his first love due to an accident that causes FL to forget him. Unlike some previous comment below stated that "he did nothing to help her regain her memory" because in fact, he did try. He put in a lot of what limited efforts he had even while away at military academy, wrote her many letters, hoping to be able to come back and have a future with her. When he did, he found out from her mother that FL had gotten married and is with child. The FL's own mother prevented him from telling her anything about their pasts. Even went as far as not letting them meet and had hidden all his letters. At this point, he had no choice but to give up. Note that they never properly broke up nor got closure to their relationship.
ML tried to move on with his life with new women (they show he slept like with only 2 others in the drama) and one of them being his present-day girlfriend/fiancée. I don't see any problem with this, his love had married so why should he stay chaste for her even if he can't forget her? Should he stay lonely his whole life, realistically? ("Outlanders" follow this same plot btw where even if separated and have other partners, they still remain each other true love and eventually found their way back to each other) It is not immoral to seek solace and happiness at any given time. Eastern dramas can have this concept too. It's not like he was conning girls' feelings or playing around either.
Therefore, over 15 years or so later when they unite again, although she had divorced, he already has a fiancée, he didn't think he should bring her more pain by telling her about their pasts, not to mention he felt responsible for it. But the more they meet the more attractions and hidden feelings that he had kept bottled inside become uncontrollable, so he kisses her. He realizes he still loved FL a lot and planned on telling his current gf to cancel wedding, but gf knew and dodges his attempt several times. So no I don't think he meant to cheat or stepping on two boats. lol
Lot of old cliches and tropes but with emotions and cinematography done right. Although I can see why some viewers are confused with the many back-to-back flashbacks
Wonder why no one recommended the J-drama, "Innocent Love (2008)". Utada Hikaru also sung the main song for that drama and it also have the same overall melo vibe like this one though much darker. Don't trust the ratings on MDL too much.
MARS was one of the first manga series I read back when I was in middle school, so when it got adapted into Live action TW-drama, I was excited to watched it. The TW version was a very true-to-manga adaptation. It totally captures the essence of the story to a tee. By comparison, JP version is not as accurate as the TW version. Lot of details were left out and change here (i.e. Rei did not participate in motorcycle races here nor did it explore Rei and Kira's family relationships).
I still enjoy the JP version since the main leads are cute together. Perhaps if they had more of a budget and made a second season instead of the seemingly rushed, follow-up movie, they could've gone a little more in depth with the characters.
In the beginning I feel a bit cringey/second-hand embarrassment for the FL but it gets more and more natural seeing her and the ML together. She also became a great and reliable nurse so good chara development there. ML also became more charming and cute as he fall in love with her.
For some reason or another, I put this drama off so long but when I finally decide to go for it, it was well worth the watch and I enjoy it very much
I'm gonna missed LotDt but it will be going on my mental list of top rewatch dramas. 2025 has been a generous year so far as good endings goes. Hope it continues on.
Oh didn't think ML is colorblind like ML in GO into Your Heart (also costar LLD)
He so deserve all the thrashing for taking her for granted
