Yeah i also think the ending was hasty, since i don't really feel MTZ love her as much as Mu Yun at all, which is disappointing. Yes he was attracted by her and curious about her, but what he did for her wasn't nearly as much as Mu Yun, and definitely not enough to make amends for the pain, heartbreak, and injustice she had to go through because of him post-amnesia. I was furious when he brushed off Mu Yun's love for her like some kind of nonsensical nuisance that he was forced to be liable for. In my eyes MTZ and Mu Yun are 2 different individuals, and MTZ basically can't compare to Mu Yun at all.

on ep24 and lmao i can't with the embarrassment ML had to undergo. He thought she was pregnant, and she thought he still had brain damage lmaooo. He was so happy and excited when he learned the fake news. I can imagine the disappointment of equal degree after he found out that his unborn baby is nonexistent.

da hell it's cancelled whyyyy 😫? The 2 leads are my fav actor and actress 🥲. Someone pls pick this up.

Totally underrated! I really don't get how this masterpiece could be rated at 7.9. This is a hidden gem. The story got me crying for one third of the drama, whereas the comedy was super witty as the dialogues have insinuating meaning lol. The misunderstanding was so freaking hilarious with the implied meaning behind it (ep25).

Characters were multi-dimensional and fleshed out with outstanding acting from the talented cast. Although i don't like ML when he's being insensitive under the guise of his emotional incompetence, but he has other redeemable qualities to make up for it. FL was not my favorite at first because she was a crybaby on ep1, but she grew on me immensely later because of her maturity and depth, her equanimity in the face of hardship and injustice, not to mention her talent and resilience. I also love the side couple, especially FL's sis, for her mature perspective, bravado, and proactivity in her romantic pursuit. I also friggin love FL's dad cuz he's the coolest dad in the cdramaland.

In terms of plot and chemistry, although it was slow-paced, it doesn't feel draggy to me. And that's the reason why the emotions in this drama were thoroughly and masterfully underscored, which shook me profoundly to my core. The progress of how the leads fell in love feels super natural, convincing, and thoroughly fleshed out with sufficient buildup, in addition to their sizzling chemistry, insanely hot kisses, and swoon-worthy lines. The plot were layered and novel in a non-cliched way, despite some moments that really vexes me as ML was being a total insensitively ignorant jerk (ep21-23). The ending was hasty and should've been further elaborated to make amends for what FL had to go through. That said, this drama is totally worth watching and rewatching.

TL;DR: this drama is an angsty ballad that got me crying so bad (ಠ_ಥ ). Totally should be rated at least more than 8.1. It's a solid 8.5 for me.

Well-written, fast-paced plot and nice ending, albeit with some plotholes. I like the first 7 eps most when FL played a badass villainy protagonist. Their blooming chemistry and witty quarrel were the best part of it. But then the quality of those elements kinda plateau, FL somehow became slow on the uptake, and because of the short duration the emotional scenes wasn't underscored enough, and the angst doesn't have much impact, which is quite a pity because their sizzling romance had so much unfulfilled potential. The kisses were nice but don't live up to the Steamy Kiss tag. That said, a solid 8 for me. Hope there'll be season 2 where ML exits the comic sphere and enters the real world.

3 episodes in and there's nothing that i like about FL. I wouldn't call her a fashion professional, considering her wardrobe choice. Her overlength dress on the 1st ep looks like it's designed to mop the floor. That's not to mention she's messy, inconsiderate, and doesn't have the habit of cleaning up after herself, messes up his house, and lets ML do the cleaning, until he pointed that out in details, much to her unjustified disgruntlement. My gosh the secondhand embarrassment 🤦‍♀️. She's like a spoiled, self-entitled damsel in distress. Also, i don't get how she failed to notice ML's obvious power. I mean she noticed it when she first met him, but somehow when it happened right in front of her face again she didn't lol.

I don't like ML either. He is extremely talented at getting on my nerves for using his power and leverage to boss FL around, bully her, and patronize her, which she could do nothing but endure and comply. He's such a condescending, controlling jerk that i can only enjoy the scenes in which he suffered and skips those that are romantic. 6 eps in and I guess i won't get that satisfaction before their first kiss, since FL was still at his mercy being a complete emotional bag. I'm the type who would skip the parts that revolt and annoy me, but i'm afraid i'd have to skip almost the entire drama. I wholeheartedly pray that Aaron Deng picks better script in the future.

If you detest the damsel-in-distress, incompetent typa FL who is a burden to others and doesn't know how to clean up after her ass after making a mess, or the controlling, condescending typa ML who bullies and bosses FL around, take a hard pass on this one. Or you would be fuming with rage and cringing with secondhand embarrassment. This is the epitome of feel-bad trashy drama that i would give less than 1 star if i could.

it's hard for a short-length drama to develop something profound. Their chemistry is quite superficial. But I like FL a lot.

FL has better chemistry with 2FL than with ML lol. I love their sismance and it'd be better if they became a couple instead :v

The drama has its moments but i couldn't finish it because it got boring after they got together 🥱. I did try to finish it though, but ended up dropping.
Can someone spoil me what the last 4 eps are about?

wow i thought he was born in 1998 :v

i skimmed through some eps to see when FL could be free from ML. I thought it was ep8 but it's not. Ep11 FL is still caged and under duress and ML is still a jerk who blackmails FL to make her develop Stockholm syndrome. Dropped!

on ep2 and it's outrageous how ML treats a pregnant woman. It's as if she's not a human being who doesn't feel pain but an incubator whose only use is to give birth. How could he keep her locked up in that cold dark room after knowing she's pregnant? (well she's not actually pregnant but still I'm appalled as to how he would treat a pregnant lady).

This drama started so good, got me hooked in the first few eps. But then it lost steam and the romance got boring, especially after the uncalled-for amnesia trope and the appearance of the annoying 2FL. It's fine if they only use it once, but when it happened again my interest for this drama is also gone with the wind. I like Liu Xue Yi but his acting alone is not enough to keep me going. Dropped.

there's a villain, but she isn't involved in the leads' relationship. She's in love with the second ML, not the main one, and she has her own backstory. FL is very well protected.

I don't like her in L&R, I think her character was so childish and annoying and weak and annoying and childish. But she did have a better portrayal in LAN, especially without that petulant voice and expressions. Her character in LAN is more mature, which is to my liking :">. Btw i'm glad she and LXY are together. They're a good match and I wish them happiness <3

regarding Love at Night, I think LXY has better chemistry with the FL there. I don't think he has that much chem with FL in this drama. Tbh, they clicked in the few initial episodes, but then they gradually lost steam. The kiss after ML and FL got together (ep13) felt really underwhelming imo.

He really needs better script to showcase his talent.

it's a story of intense love and longing of 2 people who can never be together because really bad stuff would happen that would make FL regret if they are. FL fought against all odds to prevent that destined catastrophe at the expense of their love.

romance is slow-burnt but very well acted out, and chemistry is top-notched. It's the only cdrama that i rated 10 despite the absence of kiss because of the extreme angst, heart-wrenching/ soul-crushing plot, and the pure, relentless, unchanging, unwavering, selfless, silent love from ML, who would do anything for FL's happiness and safety even if it means he can't be her boyfriend.

love triangles: kinda. Happy ending: no, open ending, but movie is coming to wrap it up. FL is annoying at first but she became mature later. Highly recommended.

it is good if you're looking for angst, cuz you're gonna bawl your eyes out. It's an open ending, but the movie is coming to wrap this up.
