rewatching ep 41sooo cute and funny their convo before he headed off to war... "i even embroidered a rabbit",…
LOL. I love that this drama was secretly a comedy… hahahaha. I think they should add a comedy tag to it… I was so surprised when I watched all the comedic scenes… was super. Duper. Funny.
Nah there is no reason to feel that way. Our CP move on, we move on although we will miss their pairing but we…
They killed her brother too….. she and her biological brother were so cute together…. Although I know he was already dead in the novel…. But still………. And when Han Pu died I was crying so much….. 😭😭 I’m doing the exact same thing too. I rewatched this entire thing due to the emptiness I felt from LLtG ending….
But all these additional arcs are better than the novel imo I.e like the real antagonist… but the novel’s portrayal of the ML is more realistic, they made the ML here very “dreamy”…
Just want to say Zhao LuSi can really cry…. I cry with her in most of the scenes she cries even in other dramas….…
I’m rewatching and I still want to comment on how ridiculous the last 15-minutes is. The last fight scene nearly ruined all the good merits of the entire drama. They just allowed the evil dude to die that way….. wth….
ZL sure is very good when it comes to crying scenes so much so that I cry with her, too.
I just wrote this exact comment in Who Rules the World like a few hrs ago…. I rewatched it because I feel so sad that LLtG ended…. And I defo feel super empty… 😭
Just want to say Zhao LuSi can really cry…. I cry with her in most of the scenes she cries even in other dramas…. It’s just so sad when she cries….. Yang Yang was really no match for her….
Yea it is quite similar to The Story of Ming Lan…. But like a newer version… or like upgraded version with…
Oh really? I didn’t know it was from the same author!! Yea, it’s defo not the dreamy kind. Would say it is very realistic actually, and in a way still applicable in current times. The couple was very sweet though albeit not the “dreamy” kind. I always thought they got married after the series, like it was because of the series… 🤔 I watched it more than once… and it still rates very highly on my list… only LLtG is in the same league when it comes to similar genre…
But because of flow and pacing…. I gave Story of Ming Lan a slightly higher rating…. The pacing here is slightly off because of all the “slow motions”…. Like it was very apparent in the first 15 episodes.

Yeaaaa…. Well. The focus is also romance…. Like it is the main theme….. BUT….. it’s not the same in the sense that it doesn’t have so many heart wrenching moments…. Which also makes sense given this novel is meant to be between a 15 yr old and a 20 yr old…
Story of Ming Lan’s romance is defo a lot more mature. Esp in the original novel I think the ML is much older, well at least the drama the ML is defo a lot older. It is less “dreamy” vs LLtG, I.e more realistic….
Please dear viewer, can you recommend a drama like this one if it ever exists. I liked "Nothing gold can stay"…
Yea it is quite similar to The Story of Ming Lan…. But like a newer version… or like upgraded version with even younger leads and defo a bigger play on roller coaster emotions.
The themes+ topics are similar, and the standard is also similar.
There aren’t many series that come to mind…. Esp not like this whereby it had so many moments/scenes between the 2 leads. Not to mention the comedic spurts.
Do recommend Sword of Brocade as well but please have lower expectations…. The plot is defo weaker/more generic and the leads are not as striking, amongst other things. But defo worth the watch…
The Rebel Princess is one of my favourites as well but I’m biased, the series was pretty controversial but the themes and messages delivered were somewhat similar.
I’m totally experiencing withdrawal syndrome. My entire wkn feels empty after I finished binge-watching…. SIGHS….. This is bad……. Only a handful of series have made me feel this way……
I tried rewatching immediately but my memory is still super intact. Damnit… memory loss would be awesome right now.
Not gonna lie: this drama is 95% slow motion, 5% characters moving their heads in slow motion
LOL. I felt the same too. It’s especially apparent in the first 15 episodes or so…. It really changes after 20 episodes. I couldn’t take my eyes of the screen. The slow-mo bits are less obvious after and also less frequent.
It was also because of this whole slow-mo thingy…. That I managed to wait until it finished airing before binge watching, 🤣 I was super surprised the ratings were so high…. Coz I started watching maybe 1-3 episodes when it first aired and easily stopped watching. I probably wouldn’t have picked it up if the ratings dwindled. But the super high ratings made me curious. Like only Story of Ming Lan (similar genre, C-drama) had these kinda ratings.
I totally gave it a 9.5 after I finished watching it.
I added a Comedy tag for this series, the drama is hilarious. I had no idea it was partially comedic!! But I think it needs voting, well hopefully it gets approved.
