It's so interesting to read the varying opinions of others on the direction and pacing of the lead's reconciliation. Some want it now. Some want to see it flushed out more while also appreciating the growth of the character of which the drama is titled. No matter how the leads choose to "reunite", it will never be able to please everyone.
For me, the leads are still dealing with so much. The synopsis uses the analogy of untying a heart's knot for one character; however, I see them both in this analogy. Seriously, have you ever tried to untie a knot?! There's a fine line (or string) between patience and fortitude and just grabbing a pair of scissors. Now imagine the knot tied between two battered hearts pulling and struggling with so much uncertainty.
As for some calling this boring, that is subjective. Personally, I find the pace fast, solid, and consistent. I haven't felt a boring moment in this drama, but perhaps because I do a lot of investing in the characters. And, I think this is what sits this drama apart in so many ways for me. It has somehow pulled me in to care about each other character and their story and made me a part of the scenes instead of a mere spectator.
saw the title and didn't agree with it..so didn't watch it
Same. She's turning off a lot of people to her biased reviews. To keep the integrity of professional reviewers who work hard to gain respect and traction in their industry, I wished she wouldn't be so blatant about it.
From beginning romance wasn't focus of this story, I expected whole drama will be mostly about DW and her jewelry…
So many different opinions on how relationship reconciliation should be handled. I personally really like the pacing. Wounds can take a long time to heal.
I guess we all have what we are loving about this drama. The acting. The cinematography, the world building, the characters, their growth and metamorphosis. I could go on. But as a romance junkie, TSOPG is a rare gem. Although I love the chemistry Zhao Lusi builds with her leads, DW and YZJ are breaking molds and moving boundaries. I’m sharing a link to some of my favorite moments of them together… and there is still more on the way.
I can’t believe how this keeps getting better. So many insightful and interesting conversations and write ups (outside here) about the characters and motivations that I haven’t seen for another drama. I would also like to add how I tried to keep my expectations low regarding the leads skinship. I know we’re going through another phase with them now, but instead of disappointed in their ‘together’ episodes I became spoiled. Their closeness and affection are on another level. The best part is, from BTS with them, there’s more affection and quite an inventive kiss scene on the way. They are finding ways to ‘turn this up to 11’ in every way.
Did you find anything negative about the article? Have you read it? Because I don’t read it
It’s click bait. They’ve done this twice. Unfortunately, small minds will continue to push false narratives while smaller minds will continue to like and believe them.
I didn't know someone can say things like this. https://kisskh.at/discussions/zhu-lian-yu-mu/129707-what-do-you-think-of-liu-yuning-and-zhao-lusi-as-partners-again?pid=3174148&page=1#p3174148Report.
I’m hanging on until this ends. All respect lost for a place I once thought had some standards and integrity left.
If you’re really watching, be patient, she needs to establish herself in the new town first.we still have 17…
I feel the intricate way this series and the characters are woven, it gets lost on a few people. Like those who constantly look on the surface on things or harp on a person’s looks.
