I feel the same way. So now Fl is going to liberate oppressed noblewomen and promote sisterhood? We even got a lecture about virginity in a modern spirit. OK, but can we finally get a love confession and at least a few romantic scenes? I’m a viewer for whom the romance plot is important. If this series had 40 episodes, I would be more patient.

I'm also starting to sense a sad ending. I saw a scene (most likely from the drama) where our FL enters the imperial palace as the empress. She looked a bit older than before. This would mean that the ML came from the royal family and had passed away. The drama really wants to portray an independent and self-sufficient heroine, which could imply widowhood. I hope they won’t give us the cliché ending where they live together happily for a few years (or maybe even less) until the ML dies.

In one of the scenes, probably from the drama, I saw the FL dressed as an empress. She looked a bit older, which could suggest that the ML had royal lineage and passed away, leading her to take the throne. This would align with the show's theme, which emphasizes the strength of women. It’s possible that the writer intended for the couple to have a few years of happiness before ultimately being separated by his death. However, I really hope that’s not how it ends.

There is no break-up scene.

Yes, it's a happy ending.

I also believe that Sfl met a fate that was too cruel. However, she was the one who sent her cousin after Fl, who sexually assaulted and beat her. I also appreciate the attention to detail in this drama. The grapes and the lighter had their double, sensual meaning here.

Many short dramas I've watched recently felt unnecessarily long, as if the writers were trying too hard to make them more engaging by adding silly, annoying subplots. As "Grab Your Love" shows, all you really need is a simple but cohesive story with good actors, and it ends up being more enjoyable than most supposedly "deep" and overly elaborate dramas.

A great short drama. One of the best I’ve watched. The story isn’t complicated, but it’s filmed in a rather sophisticated and skillful way. The direction, acting, set design, and music are top-notch. The lead actor is irresistibly attractive and charismatic. For me, there are no weak, boring, or unnecessary scenes. There are plenty of spicy moments and funny interactions between the characters. A very satisfying ending. There’s really nothing to criticize. I actually wish there were more episodes!

This uncle-nephew duo is charming. The main characters' inner monologues are also funny. No excessive melodrama.

The screenwriter didn’t put much effort into this. That plot twist is ridiculous. At least SML won’t be a romantic rival for ML anymore. I also fear that the mysterious man with the scar on his hand, responsible for the fire, will probably turn out to be ML’s father or some other relative. Still, many absurdities can be overlooked for the steamy moments between the main leads. The fiery romance is definitely the strongest aspect here.

I also don’t understand this unexpected 'younger brother' plot—he is 18 years younger than the FL. How would that even be possible? My explanation was that this so-called brother might not be FL’s mother’s biological son. However, from their conversation at the table, it seems they do share the same mother. I was also surprised that the mother, who had amnesia, didn’t ask about FL’s father. We still don’t know if he died in that fire.

Yes. They had twins—two boys. The children were not shown in the series.

Her "reserved" acting is somewhat justified by the fact that she portrays a character who is thoroughly rational and unemotional. She approaches life practically, and it's not in her nature to succumb to hysteria. She also anticipated that the supposed death of her family was a ploy by the king to force her to return home. It masks the fact that the actress is average.

The preview of episode 24 is only available on the Chinese TencentVideo. They provide previews with English subtitles, but only up to episode 23 here: https://wetv.vip/en/play/8ur46qprj630cpy-Everlasting%20Longing/k4100jku4l3-Teaser%20EP23%3A%20Everlasting%20Longing

It's not in the preview. I saw a clip from that wedding on TikTok.

Actually, the wedding will take place, but the bride will turn out to be that annoying princess.

The wedding of FL and 2ML won’t happen either.

The wedding of ML ultimately did not take place and was postponed by the king. It seems that when FL finally returns to her family home, she will also be forced, due to family reasons, to marry her assistant Shao Qi Min, but this wedding will not happen either. And our couple will be together. As for a happy ending, with Chinese dramas, you can never be sure.
