Haha I finished it with all the same exact questions in mind. I actually thought the way they ended it was kinda weird/odd.

Noooooooo……. 😭😭😭

This is so damn good….. gosh, the intensity. I’m totally won over by Lee Moo Saeng…. I think both him and the FL are perfect for each other coz they are both pretty eccentric and extreme. 🤣

But he ate the pill that Qian Zhao gave him though…….

It’s weird. I have no idea if it’s coz the last few eps were too intense or like….. I have no idea. Just pulled through the day with a heavy heart… 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ikr… like I’ve rated dramas just as high as this one before and equally loved it as much (if not even more)… but I didn’t feel this way after it ended… 😔 at least not in a long long time….

I feel so empty after this TV series ended…. Shitz. Lol. Has not happened for the longest time….. feeling of emptiness and sadness. 😒😱🤣

No it isn’t…. It is the same jar that Qian Zhao gave him. And there is only one inside if you look closely. YL’s jar always has many.

Not only that, it’s pretty unlikely that YL’s pill jar ended up with him…. RRY and him didn’t know about his death until much later… he was buried by Yang Ying and LTG…. I mean why would anybody pass YL’s pill jar to NYZ……. They probably would have buried it together with him.

He took the pill… when he was drinking… think they condensed + edited the last few episodes a tad too much so I also kinda need to rewatch for the details. But he defo took the pill, so I’m pretty sure he didn’t die. Coz it was a one and only pill….

RRY could have easily rolled out of the tent after she deployed the grenades….

But he ate that pill though…. The one that Qian Zhao gave… the one and only one….

The background music is really superb overkill and OTT in this drama, I mean the song sounds good and all of that but when it keeps randomly blaring, it sounds more like a broken record……. 😒😒😒

Also, they made it like loud…. So it’s no longer…. in the background…….. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

Lol! I know right…. Tell me about it…

Lol, but that is different, that is the ideal unicorn kinda love coz they love each other in similar ways and just as much both ways. So cutez.

I can’t wait for all the episodes to be out, going to hold it out!

Ikr… I don’t think I can beat LTG in terms of devotion and obsession…. 🤣🤣🤣

I have to say…. Cecilia Liu is just….. mesmerising in this series. 😍😍😍

I’ve always been neutral towards her acting, only watched 1-2 of her works. BUT damnnnnsss….. she’s just…. on a whole different level in this series…. Partially also because the scripted character/role is inherently very attractive, but she totally brought it to life AND owned it.

I mean, she is physically ‘beautiful’, very proportionate and the gold standard of what is considered ‘Chinese beauty’ (not exactly my type…). However, in this series she’s just….. enchanting, making it very believable that she is LTG’s ultimate love… esp with the whole teacher-motherly-sisterly psychological aspect factored in…

My eyes are just GLUED to her on-screen presence…. I mean even I want to have her as a life-partner… 🤣🤣🤣 [please choose me! 🙋🏼‍♀️🙊💃🏻🤙🏻🙇🏻‍♀️❤️]

Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy, finally no more torture! Thx for the news. I’m going to hold it out and binge then.

Master of my Own! It’s similar in the sense that the bits of the working/corporate life is also super realistic. It’s also based on a novel, most likely the author works in finance too, evident because of some fine details depicted in the drama.
BUT… the romance is probably slightly cliched….. I still really enjoyed it.

Meet Yourself. Also very similar vibes, messages sent and similar type of romance.

I’ve heard of another one but have yet to watch it. The Ideal City.

My Liberation Notes but that is more of a ‘art film’ or more of a niche type of drama, but the meaning/messages behind is really similar. This also has a romance kinda sub-theme.

Yes! And the thing is I usually roll my eyes at these kinda characters (for both men and women)…. Coz they are usually annoying, revolting and it gets to a point whereby it becomes illogical. I’ve never seen him previously too but he’s seriously super convincing. I think it’s not easy to portray a realistic role like this and I actually find him pitiful….

Damns…. That ice-bath, forehead kiss…… the chemistry couldn’t be more real!!!
They do look really different physically, I.e they aren’t the best on-screen physical match, was neutral for me, but both the leads did an amazing job. All the supporting actors + actresses were also superb!

Special mention to the actor who plays Li TongGuang ! Like at the very least NO forced villain laughs and OTT extreme expressions, smart that they mixed it in with puppy eyes… He totally is a very believable obsessed first-love-crazed YOUNG lad. (Mainly believable coz the actor also looks really young…. 🤣, highly plausible)

Actress who plays Yang Ying is also spectacular, having to pull off a female-as-male disguise, which is typically a joke, and then the maturity/aging challenge, no-easy-feat..

P.S： 😭😭😭 I totally want to just pay for all the episodes. This is real torture!! How can I buy all the episodes….. 😢

LOL same! It has this mysterious dark vibe and of course the film set, props and wardrobes are superb detailed and tastefully done… this makes a significant difference… The music as well…. Wow, the Mission Impossible rendition caught me off guard.

I couldn’t find much written up on the original French production…. I wonder wot the mystery/thriller bit is all about. And damns, Lee Moo Saeng is damn good in the role. Crazy, annoying, charming, obsessive, intense and attractive…. I wonder wot kinda role he plays here given he is the ML. Protagonist/Antagonist…. Grey? I can’t tell which side the FL is on either….
