Good comparison. Very much so.

Oh, yes! That emotion on his face when he heard her call his name. Relief, happiness, worry, anxiety. He expressed it all with one look.

Fair points. I do see what you're saying. I also agree with the other poster in that there is still danger out there for her. She is a target as well. And, he knows she isn't a person who will just stand still. :-) She will go after them with the knife he so thoughtfully gave her. But I'm still trying to digest one episode at time. It's like having Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner in one week. And, that scene was very freaking cute!

I LOVE LLTG, but LBY was fully conscious when he made the decision to abandon her. He even said he didn’t regret it when he recovered and she heard his words before the Emperor. YZJ was half dead and needed to be carted off by his friend. When he wakes up, his first thought is to go to her. Again, as much as I love LLTG, I truly feel the sincerity and concern from the ML here. He’s not a general with years of calculating military training experience. He’s a character whose hands shake when he wants to kiss her.

I do believe those who “know” the demise of the ML from watching ALL 40 episodes should use the Spoiler Tag when sharing, but at the same time also spill how many more kissing scenes between the leads we’re going to get moving forward. That post does not require a spoiler tag. 🙃

Well said!!!

Technically, he didn’t leave her alone. He was carted off unconscious by his best friend whose sole mission was to save him. Upon wakening, YZJ’s first words and first concern was Duan Wu. Despite his numerous wounds, the most pain he showed was thinking he’d lost her. Numerous attempts were also made by his friend to find her. The trailers are not showing the complete picture of ep. 18-20. If you watch the entire episodes, it gives a clearer picture of exactly what took place after the chaotic scene with Shrimp and her friends, and the reasons behind it.

If you follow his character, his actions are consistent with always trying to make her stronger. The noble idiocy trope? If by pushing her away to 1. Keep her safe and 2. Give her independence to start her business and learn to survive in the harsh world they’ve both encountered, then give this to me every time.

Oh, yes. This!!!

Damn!! So much to take in at 1 a.m. Even with all the angst, I’m dying for the next episodes. The acting by both leads during the rain scene was incredible. The pain to hold on and the pain to let go. And just like that, Monday just became a sick day.

Oh good. I thought I was the only one. 😊🤭

In so many ways..,

She did! 😂

😂😂

LYN did say we’d get cavities 😂

Same! His character arc is a chaotic heartbeat, and he's sharing it with us all. The scene when he finds his 'cure' has died, the lost look afterward and then the endearing reflections with his beloved...they all gutted me. This drama dives so deep into a character's journey and development, we feel like a family member instead of a bystander/watcher.

Yes, exactly. He does fight with his weaknesses (her) and his unyielding resolve. So well put. Thank you! I'm such a character driven drama watcher/reader. I think this is why this series resonates deeply with me.

Zhao Lusi's HE track record is really good. I'm betting on this for TSOPG.

I think the understanding will be resolved quickly. The healing with another character growth of these two characters is what I'm really looking forward to seeing.
