MeiLandi

I'm liking the visuals of this drama so far and Joseph is always such a cutie hero in wuxia.

With c-dramas, I've learned that its more about the journey, not the ending. Being only a 32 episodes drama, this means that they won't unnecessarily drag things out either.

Actually, now is perfect time to rewatch The Starry Love. If Love of Nirvana gets you down, Li Landi's TSL will cheer you right back up. I almost forgot how much laughter each episode brings. My stomach about to explode all over again lol. Its still one of a kind for sure.

If you want to continue the angst, then Li Landi's Angel Falls Sometimes is another touching masterpiece. I think most RJL's dramas are angsty already, so you have a huge selection there too.

If you have watch all you can from LLD and RJL list, then I suggest watching dramas from their future co-stars like Ao Rui Peng who will be with LLD in Coroner's Diary and Tan Jian Ci who will be with her in Filter.

Lol who said it was fast? Romance is very slow burn. FL didn't realize she was in love until episode 27. Before that, only reason she forgave him for all the harm hes done to her was because she came to an understanding that all of his scheming was for a meaningful cause to the point where his people was willing to sacrifice themselves for him so he can achieve it. Likewise, ML also wanted to protect his people, so when it comes down to a girl he just met who ruin his plans time and time again and jeopardize his comrades' life, he of course was ruthless. But later he also came to understand how gentle, kind and loyal the FL is although she was also naive about politics, so they have a truce. He goes all out on saving her life whenever shes in danger from that point on. Through many cases together, they start developing their bonds and feelings for each other.

Lol as long as the story plot is good with great chemistry between the leads, I dont care so much about endings anymore.

Started LoN hoping for a HE while there had been many hints of SE but I continued on anyway. I still dont regret watching it because I love Li Landi and RJL acting so much here.

You just gotta prepared ur heart for the wringer though. And if theyre good enough to make me cry its one of the best stress relief

Same. I'm rewatching LoN while trying to ween off it at the same time by watching other dramas. Still end up coming back here though lol.

Tried Love in the Desert - its sexy and charming but the lighting/color filter they use really hurts my eyes. I'm following it but not so hooked.

I'm giving Dashing Youth a chance. Originally didnt feel like watching the prequel of Blood of Youth because give me a headache to remember all the older characters with their younger version but starting off with a fresh mind does the trick

Meanwhile awaiting Snowy Nights to air. I like watching Joseph Zhang, hes such an eye candy. His drama will probably be my main focus for the next month or so if it starts strong.

TBH, despite the ending the way it is, for me I still find this drama to have very high rewatch value. I have been rewatching the drama mainly from Ep 1-39 cuz I miss our couple (skip Ep 40 bc hurt too damn much lol). Acting, story, OSTs everything is great, especially the slow transition from enemies to lovers (even from rivals to besties) was very well done with the best I've seen so far in drama land.

RJL has really made a breakthrough in his acting here, his facial expression has gotten much more stable, much better control with his emotions and the eyes plus micro expressions is just to die for. I've watch many of his dramas before, but never thought he was particularly appealing or as genuine until now.

I hope to remind people to not rate a drama low just because they have a SE or BE. That would not be fair to the actors whos just following the scripts that were given but still manage to make it their best roles yet.

You're right, I think she'll look really beautiful with long hair in modern settings

Me listening to Love of Nirvana OST and bawling my eyes out thinking about the ending. Especially the lyrics of 寻常 (Ordinary) sung by Liu Yu Ning and 勿 (Do Not) just heart-wrenchingly made the pain deeper.... I can't stop crying... 💔😭😭

Today is sad day for me too, 😭😭😭

The first drama ending that make me feel like I got stab in the heart for real becuz of how angsty the journey was. 💔

The ending is beyond disappointing, not to mention illogical. Now why would WZ after spending his night married to his beloved wife JC, decided against all possibility of escape, leaving her behind, a widow all alone? This is so out of character.

I guess from here on, a HE can only exist
In my imaginations and fanfics....

Previews I found. This is so bittersweet. Keeping my fingers cross. I hope its a happy ending!

This is why I love Li Landi. She can portray any emotions so genuinely and she always brings the very best out of her male co-star. RJL had never seem so appealing to me more in his other drama than compare to this one with Landi. I can't stop watching her and both of them. Chemistry amazing.

Right. Its a possibility. I feel ZW was always reluctant about doing something he has a bad feeling about or know he might regret it later such as in the case with luring JC's Shifu to YueLou and going with Madam Rong's plan. And Mr. Ping was always there to push and pressure him with the whole YueLou and his dad.

I do hope JC's Shifu left behind a letter or some sort of key that can help take down the real culprit who killed Prince Qi. Or maybe her network of female spies throughout the country that can help JC with the upcoming conflicts.

The person that I blame the most that leads everyone to this current predicament is PY. If he didn't selfishly exposed JC real identity to the emperor and then selfishly force the marriage, None of this would happen. He can't even control his crazy mother and he arrogantly think he can protect JC? After what his mother did and he still pleads for her life too. Just ranting but man I hate him.

That drama been on my plan to watch list for awhile. My most anticipated so far in fact. Her hairstylist there really knows what they're doing, she looks so breathtakingly gorgeous.

I've like her since DBTQD. I've been Li Landi fan since TSL. Another of her drama I been waiting for is Su Ji but not sure if that will ever air

T.T My heart goes out to her, she just lost the only real remaining family she has. Judging by the previews too, it look like shes going to go thru the various stages of grief. Right now, its her shock and denial stage follow by pain and guilt, self-blame and anger toward WZ and then the depression. And these emotions are so real and raw, it hits home for all of us.

Hope she finds the strength to carry on soon.

Thats an odd question to ask. If you mean how annoying the SML is then yes. He would not let FL go no matter how much she rejected him. Hes so delusional, its like talking to a wall.

ML and SML would often have contrasting conversation (or bickering rivalry) on what is best for FL if you get a kick out of that. Though they would on several occasion join hands to protect FL from danger as well.

FL has a very clear understanding on what she wants and don't want and always very independent. Although she does not know martial arts, shes uses her wits, Not the typical damsel in distress. She continue to reject SML no matter the circumstances even when shes hurt by ML emotionally.

Ikr? He told Uncle Ping he will explain to her in his own way, but his way is saying nothing letting more misunderstandings build up. And trying to kiss her and make promises does not resolve anything when you already lost her trust

Its torture to watch 1 episode per day until the end... Anyone know if they will release the rest of the episodes early on like a FastTrack package or something?
