I watched it on Dailymotion too. To get rid of those annoying ads, I recommend installing the free uBlock Origin extension. It really works and lets you enjoy the drama without interruptions. Highly recommend!

I agree. Especially since these are personal matters and grudges that don’t actually affect other people. I come from a country where we swing to the complete opposite extreme: a public figure can basically never truly disgrace themselves and very often, scandals, controversies, or even their “moral downfall” end up bringing them financial and career gains. That said, there are offenses that fully deserve social ostracism. At the same time, I appreciate that in China there are strict laws against tax evasion, because it essentially means stealing from one’s (often much poorer) fellow citizens.

I understand. Everyone has their own preferences and triggers.

If that changes anything, ML doesn’t love her and doesn’t sleep with her.

He has a concubine, and she’s actually pretty significant to the story.

That would explain a lot. Anyway, she’s definitely an actress with real potential.

Interesting observation, I need to go back to those scenes.
I found the theme song from Infinite Cycle of Love. Looks like there weren’t any more tracks besides that one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTn-e8yZXLM&list=RDwTn-e8yZXLM&start_radio=1

It’s a happy ending.

I read up on it some more and maybe things aren’t quite as hopeless.
He’s not officially on the black list. In January they were still airing the micro-drama Love as a Cure with him. And apparently there’s already another one planned with him.

Though maybe it’s not actually that bad, because back in January this year you could still watch Love as a Cure with him. He’s not officially on the banned list, so perhaps it’s just a temporary ban. Hope so.

I checked and unfortunately he ended up on the blacklist 😱 I'm devastated because I love him too. I really hope he'll manage to make a comeback somehow and we'll get to enjoy looking at him again.

Terrible news… He Jianqi was one of my absolute favorites in micro-dramas. Unfortunately, it’s true 😔💔He really did get added to the blacklist. I really hope he can make a comeback someday, since he’s not officially ‘permanently banned’ like some actors after political scandals.

You can listen to this song here, at 14:29: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6EFKeraX9Q

Not every love story needs strong chemistry, but in Infinite Cycle of Love it felt essential. Because it was missing, the whole story ended up feeling somewhat flat. I think that kind of perfect connection between leads is mostly independent of acting skills. It either happens naturally or it doesn’t, it just happens on its own. Here the actors performed well individually, but they never fully clicked with each other.
Actress Zhao Xi Xi almost always has amazing rapport and real sensual tension with whoever she’s paired with. On the other hand Ren Jia Lun, even though I like him, always seems slightly mismatched with his leading ladies. There’s never quite that spark in his romantic pairings.
A necessary disclaimer: where some see chemistry, others see absolutely none.
Sinful Marriage on the other hand had everything. If anything was missing, it was probably just more episodes. That drama was close to perfect in every single aspect.

Yeah, I just finished Infinite Cycle of Love. It’s a solid, well-executed drama. It really doesn’t deserve all the hate in the comments.
What I missed was more passionate or intense scenes between the main couple. It felt a bit too lukewarm in that department.
The final twist was actually really well thought out. The way the whole cycle of coming back to life got so brutally cut off fit perfectly as a conclusion to their love story. Honestly, I kind of liked that slap in the face the writer gave us with this ending. If I’d been more invested in the characters, this ending would’ve probably hurt a lot more.

The ML is my biggest discovery in this drama. I remember him mostly from villain roles. He was always styled in such a way that he looked kind of unattractive and rather dull. But here, with long hair and royal robes, he is insanely handsome and magnetic. That warm, gentle smile of his and those melancholic eyes…
That said, credit where credit is due: the actress playing the FL did an excellent job too. It would have been very easy to make her character annoying and insufferable, but she created a truly dignified person who “learned how to fulfill her own wishes”.
