I just came to a realization that this drama was adapted from webtoon by the same name Sijin which I've read before in the past... lol took me so long to connect the two because they change almost everything in the drama after like the first 6-7 episodes. Plotwise and character wise, I much prefer reading the webtoon. For example, I like the emperor in the book, he was much more likeable and humorous not to mention very wise than how they depict him in the drama. I cant even relate the main couple to the one in the webtoon because personally I don't think the actor and actress fit the characters.
Although I can't exactly blame the production since the webtoon itself has over 300 chapters currently still ongoing. They try to change and condense all the material they can into 40 episodes here but unfortunately this is a flunk for me.
Srsly, one thought I have after finishing this drama finale is since Jiu Si's uncle knew Luo Zi Shang was his son, why couldn't he confess this sooner to LZS like during the 3 years they were partnering up? Honestly if he had told LZS his revenge on Gu jia and everything was all a big misunderstanding, a lot of death including Zhou family could've been avoided and maybe he might've been able to redeem himself somehow. They could have more father-son bonding moment even. He just had to wait til the point where he have to stab his own son before confessing. sigh That sure didn't make very much sense to me. Their last scene was very good though, as we get to see LZS vulnerable side, and you can tell all he wanted all along was just family and love.
Watching this again, I really truly appreciate the mature and beautiful friendships between all the women in this show. No backstabbing, no ugly fights, just women sharing hardship and helping each other during difficult times. No matter how much the men schemes against each other, the women never let that get in the way and still have each other backs is just gold.
Everytime I finish a Li Landi's drama I end up lingering after it for a long while. Wish there were more episodes but even if there were more I would still have a hard time letting go. Waiting to finish up Si Jin. Not in the mood for Ski into Love yet. Don't know what to watch now
I realize, I have watched many of Dai Gao Zheng short series and this actor sure love showing off his amazing six packs on screen. lol just saying, not complaining
Thankfully around TSL time, she started having the option to pick her own scripts (unlike back when Tangren/her…
Even with DBtQD, i think she did a great job despite criticism about her looks there. Although I think it is partly due to the hairstylist doing a lousy job not her fault.
The fact that she decide to risk it and star in this drama about true beauty now makes it comes full circle so its quite inspirational.
Coroner's Diary should be next right? I hope it airs this year too.
We getting spoiled with so many happy endings and green flags leads this year, I really might get diabetes. Sweetness overload might be a problem! Actually I dont freaking care if I get diabete! Please keep it coming! šš„°
This is so beautiful. Li Landi did it again. I find that she surpasses herself on each and every projects. Always something different with refreshing concepts. She or whoever helps her really know how to pick her the right scripts. I'm so glad to be her fan. Now I'm just sad that I have to say goodbye to another one of her wonderful drama and back to waiting for her next one to air plus rewatching her previous ones
Episode 7The song from Lost You Forever š¢I guess Iām way behind everyone else and you already talked about…
Some of us cracked up at that scene (me included). šš My heart would break for him back in LYF whenever that song plays but here it was just so hilarious for some reason when he bawls his eyes out drinking and vomit and the girls be celebrating š¤£
I thought it was a brilliant scene that they were able to do 360Ā° emotional shift with his sad song.
Episode 23-25 is so cute! Tbh I was worried about the chemistry between FL and ML at the beginning. I didn't like that he was so cold to her and keep misunderstanding her while falling for her other filter appearances. It was also awkward because of the embarrassing moments FL had to endure due to ppl's perception on her beauty. That did create less sparks between main leads when he keeps falling for different actresses that portrayed her. But I think once he started putting pieces together that they were the same person, the underlying, slow burn romance that has been dormant until now suddenly ignited and evolve into something sweet and delicious like we have now. Its like everything finally fall into their natural place.
I feel so giddy for upcoming episodes, can't wait to see more of their interactions
I can't swallow this story about Chengcheng not being pretty, in terms of beauty, I prefer her over su miao.
Lol same. I think they overdid the acne makeup on her teenage version but for LLD/SCC, even with few pimples on her face, I still think she look much more natural and prettier than other girls. Well, its a touch of fantasy in a world that have a different beauty standard than us, that sees her as "ugly", so to keep with the moral of the story about inner beauty, I have no choice but to play along meanwhile still enjoying the drama.
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...
Although I can't exactly blame the production since the webtoon itself has over 300 chapters currently still ongoing. They try to change and condense all the material they can into 40 episodes here but unfortunately this is a flunk for me.
Will finish this once all episodes come out

He so deserve all the thrashing for taking her for granted
