Bah. I liked it, warts and all 😁 It is special, although as audience, infuriating when FL obstinately keeps rooting for the wrong man. Probably would not re-watch either, although I liked ML who also played in Dear Diary/My Babylonian lover : Richards Wang/Wang Ruichang is on my to watch list ! Although I was too pressed with other stuff to watch Brilliant Class 8 in April on iQiyi - not one I was waiting for anyway ; perhaps I'll give it a go now since the avalanche of new c-dramas of year-end is not mind -blowing, and even more "conventional" ones like SAHPH have wrapped (I rather liked that one, btw, but not raving about it like I would for RESET, LLTG or L&P -- NLB did not do it for me : I got bored with the endless lecturing, despite my bias for BJT).
I'm only halfway through the first ep but I can't get over how the main lead has similar facial features to Kris…
No, I would not mistake the two for each other. Distinctly spaced eyes for KW, more angular facial features, and his nose is shorter and rough, straight, not the special longer and wave one of Arthur's profile. Ears also are different, CFY has longer natural earlobes. Only the bushy eyebrows are vaguely similar when I compare pictures. But Zhang Jingyi easily recognized CFY's in a recent game part of a recorded interview. Anyway KW is not a person to admire even if he did have a few good songs before getting on the "evil side of the Force". CFY's eyes are clearer and show his honesty and politeness, whereas KW's to me seemed hard, shifty and hooded in his MVs. So I was never a Wu Yifan fan 🤣 Whereas I might become leaning towards the "little universe" group after L&P... (But well, I view with favor most of the young gods of c-dramas: Xing Zhaolin, Yang Yang, Steven Zhang, Ren Jialun, Z.Tao, Xu Weizhou, Luo Yunxi, Wang Hedi, Joseph Zeng, Liu Yuning, Zhang Binbin, Bai Jingting, Li Xian, Hu Yitian... to mention only a few. Multistan me 😂 : you may laugh too!)
The proposal scene seems to happened after they got their cert. then ZY was commenting how come it’s always…
Yes yes, but some accomplice (I guess dad) needed to spirit the household register out of their home so daughter could get married. Only mom might show up to make a fuss, if that's conceivable as a worry that could move Li Xun to get married before formally proposing. Scary mom....
Ummmm Why did you need to post this twice? Btw the FL character ("heroine") was not Zhou Yue, but Zhu Yun (朱韵).…
Did you mean Zhou Ye ? Yesterday Once More (movie release date 31/12)? And is that the place you watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hor4Gb-BCp4 ? btw the title didn't seem very sure. I also found Countdown to say I Love You and other ones but the poster in the video does have it as Yesterday once more

Ah, you ought to have mentioned the title of the movie you refer to, don't you think? It's fine that you are a superfan of Chen Feiyu who has watched everything he did, but that's not the case for all here, I think. I have only watched his previous movies with Ouyang Nana and He LanDou + the one with Leo Wu, Z.Tao, Jing BoRan, Sun Yi and Ma SiChun. And the Ever Night drama where he was paired with Ireine Song. But I am not familiar with Zhou Yue as actress, either.
Zhu yun’s mother is the worst and most stupid mother i’ve ever seen
That LLTG mother was harsh, yes. She almost threw me from that lovely drama, initially, because of her ideas on chastising her "wild" offspring. If some good spoilers had not set me right, I might have dropped it by episode 2!! I was musing whether it would have been better to start in media res like L&P like say from the bridge collapse scene or the hunting lodge one, and get back to these painful first episodes to better understand the harrowing mom. But in fact I don't agree that YuanYi was stupid like Zhu Yun's mom. They were completely different. YuanYi, as a divorcee, had had to suffer and just hoped her daughter be allowed a better deal. She had no "class conceit", although she was aware that the Cheng family even after gaining a marquis title, was not on the same level as the imperial family. YuanYi had initially considered powerful Ling Buyi as a good match for Shaoshang, since both families were military, but with some misgivings that he was tied to the imperial family as unofficial 11thprince - Shiyilang Zisheng was the emperor's foster son or ward, being the "nephew" of the emperor's blood brother in arms. YuanYi just was afraid that her daughter might suffer if she got inducted into the palace without proper education first, so she was relieved that the empress offered to take CSS in and teach her instead of YuanYi's own heavy handed woman warrior way. When she outlandishly spoke out to torpedo Ling Buyi's proposal, it was wholeheartedly because she thought CSS feared and did not want to get near the general. She was flabbergasted that her daughter chose to accept, in order to save her family from the imperial displeasure, when she knew that CSS had no sweet feeling for the unofficial prince - yet. YuanYi is actually likeable. She first (reluctantly, but fiercely helpful) agreed to CSS's first betrothal, and helped her daughter get over the breakup caused by imperial edict. She did not hate Ling Buyi even if his hard handed ways of having the Cheng household exercise was really over the top! 😂 Zhu Yun's mom not so: she really had no care about her daughter Zhu Yun's plans and feelings. I suppose she ended up accepting to relinquish the household registry when Zhu Yun's dad made it clear that Zhu Yun might get pregnant without authorization and further "ruin her life" as an unwed mom. She did not attend the wedding to show her disapproval, and continued to hate unreasonably her daughter's successful and devoted husband. 😣 LLTG was such a wonderful drama. And now L&P, differently.
I know its a bit too much. But i was comparing feiyus interaction with jingyi and zhou yue and i did see a big…
Ummmm Why did you need to post this twice? Btw the FL character ("heroine") was not Zhou Yue, but Zhu Yun (朱韵). Chen Feiyu is known to be very polite, so formality is normal between him and co worker, even though they say they became friends (as in "putong pengyou" ordinary friends) on set, so of course they can joke and laugh. He is supposed to have brought some ideas to the directing (after all, he has experience as assistant director before), so the tickling was his idea. In an interview he said Zhang Jingyi WAS Zhu Yun, to which the actress agreed (she had completely embraced the character) whereas he also said that he was NOT Li Xun (He just did his best to embody the character, including bringing his ideas after research, about how a man with a back injury would sit and walk). So, respect for their acting skills from me! I was happy to watch the drama and a good many BTS, interviews and miscellaneous PP and stuff around it, will look forward to the promised "party" by end 2022, if it gets on platform s that I can access.
Go to Youku-English channel on YouTube. It has only reached #20 there just now 😁 Some admit they are there on "second" re watch. If I stayed there it would be 5th, but I really ought to shake off the addiction (hard to do so). I am amazed by the addictive quality of this one !
4th re-watch : is this turning into addiction ? I was on the go, and still clicked back when not at the wheel, at every way station, during breakfast, lunch, dinner... Showing parts to fellow travelers and at destination before the (perilous) journey back on small roads with heavy fog and steep precipices, where wild animals (pheasants, hares, one deer lol!! luckily no bear or boar) crossed at full speed with a death wish. And now back here. I MUST get away soon 😂🤣🤣🤣 But a last thought. Reflecting on my watching journey of L&P. First view was perhaps superficial, with some emotional incomprehension, and questions that heaped up. I was aware that I needed to pause and examine some scenes more carefully, so that's what I did when some words or sentences flitted past on subtitles, at lightning speed (I admit dialogues suffered from so-so translation, which made eyebrows raise, even when quite inured to the approximations). I learned a new word !!!!! IN ENGLISH !!!! 🤣🤣🤣 "empleomania" (running to Merriam-Webster online dictionary, to find the definition, together with a list of other obscure words and a test, that I took, reaping a perfect score to my satisfaction). But come to mid point, I felt I really needed to go back to stitch it together with second part, since that one made clear the somewhat cryptic episode 1 and half of 2 -I hope this editing did not deter viewers from continuing. There are pros and cons of starting "in media res", it is fine for those who are used to it. Coming from reading, I am unfazed by such "literary devices". They have also been used in some other recent or older c-dramas I remember with favor (such as Legally Romance). Maybe some watchers don't agree with the device and will offhandedly term it as "poor editing". But no. It is a logical choice. And here's what I wanted to say and ask if others felt the same : to me, the beautiful and complicated logic of story and characters really became clearer on 2nd and 3rd watching. This is one c-drama which not only can allow pleasure in re watching, but add more pleasure at the discovery of overlooked details or reactions, to uncover the logic. Which is perfectly fitting for a drama that tackles programmer's mindsets. This is one of the reasons it skyrocketed into my faves of 2022 list. Not just the "pretty faces" or thrilling story, but the way it still could make us say : "ah yes! so that's why!..." when going back. Many of the questions in these 9960+ comments here have contributed, by sounding different people's perceptions, to a better view of this c-drama. Thanks to all who contributed long or short answers, feelings, links, pointed out to the MDL game and to the funny "shitty powerpoint" on the c-drama subreddit! It has been great.

He's not clear about the impact of Memorial Day, though.
