This is what I feel with Changge and Sun in The Long Ballad. I feel satisfied yet I want more.
Agree, I'm still at ep 36 still waiting for the remaining ep for eng sub but so far I am satisfied with their romance progress, when I saw the clip that has forehead kiss am already satisfied with that but yes am also hoping for a real kiss and still haven't seen the kiss substitute with birds kissing so maybe I still have nothing to complain yet, will see. hehehe
I remember the Kdrama Mr. Sunshine (2018) it has no Kissing scenes nor kissing of the forehead but I don't know how the director and the writer did it but somehow the affection of the ML are so obvious that you still get Kilig and satified with just the two ML just staring each other. I just want to share, hehehe
If there's one thing that I'm thankful with, is that I did not read the manhua of this Drama, so I have nothing to compare it with. I tried it before I read a book and was later put on live movie, I was not 100% satisfied for I was looking that emotions that I felt when I read the book. But later on as I try to assess myself, why I was not satisfied with the movie, I realized that I like the book better because the thoughts and point view of the characters are way more clear to me. It was easy for me to understand their emotions and actions. So I understand why some people who have read the manhua are a bit dissatisfied with the flow of the drama, some scene and so on, because they are looking for that emotions and thrill that they have felt when they read the manhua. As for me so far I'm loving the flow of the drama and trying not to judge the characters yet and wait for the next episodes to undestand why certain scenes needs to be done.
I don't know why some people can't see romance between leads lol when I can see it clearly...not that romance…
We have the same sentiments, I love the pacing and progress of their relationship it's more realistic and I find it more sweet. The 2nd lead couple is easy to love however I find too cliché, a strong male character meets dainty heroine that needs saving and protection, while the main lead couple is very opposite. I loved the contrast of the 2 lead couples tho.
I just finished ep 18 and I'm waiting for ep 19, Im excited for the following ep because lead couple finally starting to show more affection to each other. I really like how the production team did not force romance development of the main lead, I love it
