Yeah that's why I thought they should leave this novel alone. Because it's not gonna pass the censor. And I don't…
Finished reading the novel. I kinda share your sentiment about 'leave this novel alone', for the reasons you stated as well as the amount of craps Lu Tong will receive from some viewers for her decisions around ML, as well as the possibility of insufficient portrayal of her excessive drive for revenge by the script.
Sang Yan was not just a side character; the drama showed him at his workplace, where he actually worked, and Sang…
The source material was entirely told from Yifan's perspective. If we gonna label drama Sang Yan a supporting character, novel Sang Yan would be even worse. We actually got more Sang Yan in the drama compared to the novel.
I'm currently at episode 4 and had no idea that this drama had a dark side. I didn't know that when they meant…
That was my initial impression as well. Keep watching. FL is very strong in her own ways. And, there are lots of swoon worthy moments, it's not just doom and gloom. It's pretty balanced.
wow!! such strong ratings despite the flaws in the storywriting. the ratings would have been off the roof if the…
Agreed. The general consensus as far as I've seen around also is that there are some parts people didn't like, but liked the drama as overall because the main story's delivery and ending left a very strong positive impression by the end, tugging at people's heartstrings dearly.
There are some parts I didn't like as well, but gave it a 10 regardless because of other good things and how this drama connected with me from start to finish. (Also, viewer ratings tend to be based on how much they enjoyed rather than objectivity to begin with.)
I'm at around Ch70 and our girl is crazy crazy crazy. lol
Thought Shen Maio was ruthless enough, but no, add craziness on top of it for Lu Tong. Can't wait to finish the novel, and fingers crossed we won't have to wait like a decade for the drama as well.
Update: Finished reading the novel. FL here gotta be the most unhinged FL out of all Qian Shan Cha Ke novels, and I love her for that. lol Overall, the story is very nice and enjoyable. Just hope much of the aspects that make this story unique will make it through the censorship...
Highly rated dramas will always bring the worst comments. Some have their genuine opinion but others are literally…
I just project the actors we've seen on screen onto my mental image of the characters in the novel. Works well enough for me usually, and even better in TFF's case because BJT and ZRN did such an amazing job with their roles.
Please don't hate me but I need to say this. I decided to watch this show after seeing that massive 8.9 rating,…
To each their own, people's preferences are different after all. That's totally fine.
I also didn't enjoy some of the dramas others enjoyed a lot, for example The Double. But I would't label it as overrated though, because it is genuinely a good drama and its target audience enjoyed it. It was just not for me.
9 rating? Bots are working overtime on this.The fact that it has the same rating as Hidden Love is hilarious.
I mean, doesn't that also mean people enjoy this type of story?
This is a good drama and why shouldn't it get this rating? And you might not have seen how many trolls and haters rated this down even before the episodes air. Bots allegations can go both ways.
Same author. Shared universe. Different story.The First Frost is the story about Sang Yan (Sang Zhi's brother)…
You commented an article regarding that in the other comment. Yes, that was the perspective from the actor's part, and production did the correct casting choice as well.
Sang Yan character in HL and TFF are very different sides of the same coin. So, it's best to go in with a fresh perspective into TFF. Sang Yan in TFF is still the arrogant and fun brother in front of his sister, but he is entirely different when around his love interest which was not explored in HL.
How is this connected with Hidden Love? It seems like it's based on a Novel, I'm assuming it's by the same author?
Same author. Shared universe. Different story.
The First Frost is the story about Sang Yan (Sang Zhi's brother) and Wen Yifan. TFF and Hidden Love share some characters and some events, but stories are unrelated.

Would have watched it sooner if I was aware of it 😂
