He took this project before he last three dramas project. It was sheelved over 3 years due to the original FL…
The good thing about this is that it is showcasing that he is a very solid and versatile actor that can do many different genres. Hope the scripts keep coming in for him, bc I really enjoy him as a lead.
Ok have to be honest... The central idea for the ML in Love Never Fails is that he is a celestial monarch who's main role is to tend to plants and flowers (cause he is a golden peony 🌸 of course) while also being a royal punisher 💪 on the side... this premise and set-up has made me do numerous eyerolls 🙄 cause I wasn't expecting LYX, who I've seen be so much more serious and intense in his last 3 or so characters switch into being a royal gardener🪴. But once I've adjusted my expectations and seen him do his fantastic comedic work (he killed it on the body-switch and showcased those adorable dimples) Ive left the lameness of the backdrop of having characters named plum, apricot, chrysanthemum 🤣 and am now enjoying the drama much more starting at the end of ep 5. BTW love the antics of FL/ARP together. They will be a fun duo to watch wreak havoc on the stuffy palace.
I saw the last episode scene on TikTok and did just the ML forget etc or FL too cause when she saw him again she…
Answer from @KiKo Tsukino "She didn't recognize him just like he didn't recognize her. But they are both Bai Yan and Ni Huang again at the end(without their previous memories), their life is renewed but without that burden of their past self of protecting the three realms etc.
She did sense a familiarity towards him, because she said she saw him in her dreams who told her to go to Shu Shan to study and cultivate.
It is implied they will fall in love again but I felt bitter with this ending lol since I wanted them to have their original memories intact with them."
Up to episode 33...MJ finds out the deal about her dad. She decides NOT to tell her brother what is going on.…
Def surprised that XLY didn’t listen when MX said he didn’t do it and shishkabobed him. Then as you say MJ did nada, zilch, zip. To me wasn’t consistent with the determined characters we saw before. Especially XLY…
Has anyone saw how was ML/FL or their son was described in previous season1?? Anything specific or something like…
As told in FSMM1- the son has no relationship with the father, I assumed it was bc of the events that happened in FSMM3 and bc of FL's spirit race in FSMM3, or bc his mother was forced to become a concubine to birth him to make a weapon for the wangquan people, but wasnt sure and they didnt explain except to say the father treated him poorly.. The father became the main leader of his people and director/leader of the realm's alliance, which he seems to be bitter with the sacrifices that were put upon him from wangquan's elitism bc of these roles (loss of his love and loss of a relationship with his son). He is actually an important side character/ruler in FSMM1 and still continues to rule the alliance and fights for peace and what is right since his son lives somewhere under one of the alliance states (Nanchui?). Even though there is no relationship the father tries to bring peace so his son may live well, that is the only thing it seems he can do to show his love for his son. The father is dying bc of the earlier effects sustained trying to create/protect? a seal during the timeline of Love in Pavilion and hopes that his son comes to see him before he passes. The FL died right after childbirth as shown through a flashback in FSMM1, passing on her dongfang power on to their newborn son. But her ideals for the dongfangs and wangquans living equally together that she fought for, were finally realized in FSMM1 through the actions of her nephew (the ML of FSMM1) to unite the spirits and humans.
I'm probably one of the few that watched FSMM1 😂, Love in Pavilion is actually more of a prequel with numerous connections to FSMM1. The older version of the ML is an important character/ruler in FSMM1, the nephew of Love in Pavilion's FL is the ML in FSMM1, the villain from FSMM1 is in Love in Pavilion so we will get more of his origin story in Love in Pavilion as well as why he did the things he did to the FL and her family. We see flashbacks of the FL and her sister in FSMM1 and details of the events that occurred in Love in Pavillion as well. We get mention of the FL/ML's son in FSMM1. And the events that occurred in Love in Pavilion is the main factor for what drives the older version of the ML from Love in Pavillion in FSMM1, as well as the ML (nephew) in FSMM1. But I would def watch this drama first since FSMM1 takes place timewise after Love in Pavilion. 👍
For anyone who read the books, how is Dongfang Huai Zhu related to Dongfang Yue Chu? Just curious, in case anyone…
Yue Chu is Huai Zhu’s nephew via her sister (Qin Lan). They explain that relationship and ironically pretty much gave the entire plot and ending of Love in Pavilion in Red Moon pact. Was quite shocked they did that. 🤦♀️ LSS even did a special guest role in Red Moon Pact for the flashbacks…
Up to ep 30- This is still a very enjoyable watch for me. I’m a costume drama fan, so for me I’d rather watch this, than almost all of the modern dramas they’ve put out this year. 🤗
It was a beautiful story. A bit sad. The saddest part is that she is a human. I do see a ray of light at the end.…
I know she was put off by the mention of the icy environment. But I was actually surprised she didnt go with him as well, especially since she gave the speech in an earlier episode of following him no matter where he is. I think she even gave examples of terrain she would wade through...
It is not an Open Ending.It is a definite Sad ending.I am having a broken heart right now so it is hard for me…
Only ML and FL are given their memories back due to that 🦋we saw in the 🐍 demon arc. ML only grew up in the carefree land, the reset landed him back there as a child, but still retains his memories before the reset of his life with the adoptive father. The adoptive father is told by the ML in the reset world what happened because the adoptive father noticed the crack in the sword case that occurred after the ML touched it, so the father knew the ML was somehow important to him before the reset, but the adoptive father has no memories of that time.
She did sense a familiarity towards him, because she said she saw him in her dreams who told her to go to Shu Shan to study and cultivate.
It is implied they will fall in love again but I felt bitter with this ending lol since I wanted them to have their original memories intact with them."
