I would have to say the 1/3 of the show is the best arc of the show LOL.

This show started so promising. By 2/3 it started dragging by 3rd of the show I was fast forwarding because the smart characters and plot that was established in the beginning of the show was Lost.
The ML and FL had so much chemistry in the beginning and by the end i started skipping their scenes because that was lost too.
Half way the show became all about the ML and the FL became a supporting character.
However, this is my first time watching a CZY show and I have to admit he was so so charismatic whether it was emotional scenes or fight scenes. He really WAS his character.
LQ was great in action scenes but again her character lost steam half way.
Actions scenes were really good and the OST was excellent.
Overall started 8.5 and then went down to a 7.5 for me. All that build up but ended up so anti-climatic for me. Also the sister character pissed me the heck off.

Yeah Lovely Runner is overrated and took me several attempts to finish. LOL I absolutely do not have to lower my standards for a show. I used to enjoy the older dramas and the new ones are just not matching up. I can see the quality is not the same.

When i started Ffding their scenes after being totally engrossed in their chemistry in the novel, I knew something was wrong with this show,

Once you read the novel you would know how much a disappointment this drama was. Each scene in the novel is built with suspense and in this show the characters TELL the audience what is going on rather than show it.
Let's put the novel aside, as a standalone story and drama an 8.6 rating is straight up ridiculous. A 7 or 7.5 maybe and I say this as someone who has watched asian dramas since 2009.
Every show on MDL now gets a 8-10 which means there is something flawed with the ratings system.

This drama was SUCH a disappointment.
I waited so long and this is what I got. I was addicted reading this novel and yet somehow the 36 episodes DRAGGED on. There was so much chemistry between the leads in the novel and the show LOST all of it. These actors had more chemistry off screen. Where was He Yan's new family? like did He yan have anything to do other than wait around for the ML and say Dudu non stop? Every scene that was dramatic in the novel turned so anti climatic in this show. She kept making heart eyes so who really thought she was NOT a girl. Other than the battle scenes everything else was lack lustre.

You might have found chemistry but I didn’t as it seems that several others didn’t either. So I will leave it at that. As for Sauron, I disagree. We know why he was evil. It was because he wanted power and his character was the driving force behind the entire plot. The villain appears as a plot tool and then disappears: no motivation and no logic. Let’s also take the time travel element. At one point any time FL gives any hints time pauses. However, in later episodes she is freely alluding and talking about what happens to ML.

I really cant watch LBH shows. Sigh

This show is really bizarre to me. The actress did well and the actor did great and yet I just did not feel the intense chemistry that's needed for an epic love story. FL had more chemistry with 2ML (he is so charismatic)
The reason for him falling in love and then to be obsessed for years is just nonsensical. Did an Amazon delivery person write this show??
I was more interested in how the time travel worked than the couple to be honest.
Also that random villain with NO explanation whatsoever was just ridiculous.
Overall the acting/directing/plot concept was good so I would rate it a 7/7.5 because it took me several tries and months to finish this show.

okay thank God I am not the only one who struggled to finish this show. Took me several attempts

Come on now this NEEDS to be a Han hyo joo and PHS reunion. Their chemistry was off the charts in Happiness

LOL that is the first time I have ever heard this take. I do Not watch thai drama for the acting (few exceptions aside ie Kleuwn Chewit). I watch them for the Chemistry and the DRAMA. I watch Kdramas for the acting...

This is basically a lakorn with drama and plot twist and secrets. However the tag stating its a remake of Game Saneha is wrong....very loose adaption at best.
ML and FL had good chemistry. Lots of tension.
ML acted his heart out and then some. Crying scenes were well acted.
The costumes were awfullll. Music okay.
Overall a 7 for me mainly bec of the leads chemistry.
Loads of forwarding but still mindless good watch.

Agreed. I miss that dramas used to have more episodes. I mean 16 was the minimum and people find that too much now which is so odd to me.

It started out super addictive and somewhere in between lost steam. The twists and turns were very interesting. I gasped multiple times in different episodes because of plot twists.
Chemistry between the leads started out excellent and then after ALL that build up, there was no Pay off. So frustrating and disappointing. This was my biggest complaint.
ML got sidelined half way. Villain was very well acted. OST also well done and really added to the scenes.
Overall, could have been an 8.5 but ended as a 7.5 for me.

Oh I see. Good explanation, thank you. Let's see if that's what ends up happening should this drama ever release.

Oh really? Did they make a change? I hated that smarmy guy.

If it follows the novel, then no the female lead was not married to the male lead in the beginning. She was actually married to someone else.

I liked the acting, plot twists, soundtrack, chemistry but that last episode was nonsensical.
It made No sense..they were just jumping from one plotline to another.
Additionally there was no need to include Israhell in the show. Just left a bad taste overall for a show that started off so strong.

I agree. It was so distracting.
