The time in the void was just way too long. There were some development, but it was kinda pointless. Drama went…
this is how I’m feeling right now. from ep 18/19 to present, I have been bored witless watching it. the excitement at the start of the show has not carried through to the present, it feels like something is missing. it sucks because I love both CF & DD.
I came here from Pursuit of Jade— I loved Deng Kai’s character in POJ and was looking to watch him in another drama and came across LOTDT. What a stunning surprise this was!
This was such a beautiful show; it had everything I wanted in a Xiania— impossible love, odds, & fate. It gave me a bit of enemies to lovers, found family, fighting against a greater evil, second chance at life, a beautiful, happy ending that really made all the hardships and sadness worth it in the end.
Needless to say, I will now be following Deng Wei & Deng Kai’s progression as they take on more lead roles in the future; they both acted their asses off in this.
It was a solid 9/10 for me. I loved loved loved XZ & FC’s unwavering love and devotion to each other and their romance scenes were some of the best I’ve seen in a CDrama for a long time.
Having said that, there were a few things that I found a bit odd— the mother’s hair pin… I thought it would lead to the revelation of who FC’s mother and subsequently, who her grandfather was. Having read the novel, I think I had a higher expectation given who the Director was.
The odd scenes where something significant would happen between the main leads (or to them separately) and there would be no follow up scene, it would simply cut to something else entirely.
The last few episodes were also rushed for me; in particular, the fight scene between XZ and WY was so underwhelming and FC just disappeared until it was all over.
The romance build up for the Princess and the advisor went nowhere and I really would’ve liked to see a HE of some sort for them.
QM and QQ’s relationship was one of the best things about this show and how it all ended had me in tears— I think the writers did a fantastic job with these two characters, the depth of their personalities and emotions were unmatched for me.
Overall, I loved the drama for what it was and I do think if they had the freedom to give us more than 40 episodes, we could’ve possibly gotten one of the best CDramas in recent years, like the old days.
I struggled to give this a rating of 8/10 primarily because of the leads and the dreaded misunderstandings trope.
The FL’s immaturity was too overt to the point that her outbursts reminded me of a toddler having a tantrum. The ML fell down for me in his lack of communication… I understand he had a certain upbringing that would reflect this, but every time he had a chance to improve and learn from the consequences… he didn’t.
I thought the father/daughter relationship to be the best in regards to a very harsh/strict parent, always bringing the child down, but in actual fact it was out of fear for his child’s future etc… quite emotional. In the end, his ill health actually helped them to grow in their relationship and understand the other so much more.
The romance end of things wasn’t great.. I didn’t feel like the leads had that much chemistry; I felt that XZ really poured his heart into Gu Wei, but YZ’s acting was just not doing it for me.
The overall theme and message of the show was very genuine and heartfelt and the last few episodes, although sad, really left you with a sense of hope in the face of grief.
I feel like this show has lost its way tbh… I was eating it up until episode 25/26 when we had more separations and lies from MQ to CZ. They’re two characters who are both very set in their ways and have their own principles and paths which I appreciate, but I really need them to overcome the obstacles quicker because we are nearly finished this series and we are still watching them go around in circles even after the one year time jump. I hope we don’t get a rushed HE… 😭
Episode 8 had me raging. I cannot stand when an ML sits back and allows the FL to be treated unjustly and disrespected.
I thought him allowing her to be treated like a delivery girl was bad enough, but allowing his secretary to make an example out of the FL, knowing she was being setup (he HAD to have known she didn’t attend LCB, when he saw her CV).
I feel so sad for the FL as she was abandoned at such a young age by her parents, her friends aren’t really what anyone would consider a friend and her grandfather doesn’t seem to think she has any talent or smarts from the way he talks to her.
The only person who has taken an interest in her cooking is the ML and it’s what they bonded over and now he’s basically taking a step back after he pursued her and acting as if she’s nothing to do with him.
When will the girl catch a break?!? does the ML get his head out of his ass soon? does the annoying meddler get dealt with?
I need to know as idk if I can continue watching the FL get hit from all directions while ML looks on.
The could do anything they want to write ...im so annoyed couldnt watch past ep 20
it couldn’t happen in the real world because it was a transmigration show. This is why I’m always hesitant to watch these types of shows because the endings are never satisfying.
i 100 % agree but he's so stupidly in love with her that he can't help himself. it's honestly sad. i wish that…
Ohhh for sure. The guy is gone when it comes to her. I just feel bad for him because first it was the brother treating him bad, now it’s the sister’s turn! 💀I do hope after all this we get a HE though…
kisskh.la has all the episodes. don’t purchase the extra episodes!
Yes. I was crying on and off for the last few episodes. CXX has a really good range and he’s only getting better. Did you watch Love Between Lines? he’s also good in Love on the Turquoise Land too.
The FL & ML end up together yes. It’s a happy ending in that they are reunited when the FL goes back to her time and ML follows her. With Transmigration, they can’t give us anything beyond a short HE like staring at each other and hugging as the end. I wished we could’ve had more but at least it ended with them together. For me, it was a solid 7-7.5 out of 10.
Wu Ning Yu is the most stupid and selfish FL I’ve watched in a while. The ending of the latest episode made me want to scream. What the hell is wrong with her?!? Her brother tortured her husband for years and killed his parents and you want him to what? save him and forgive him!?! Xie Xin Xu should’ve left her in the rubble to die 💀
