What makes YCX's decision so morally complicated is that I can't fully agree with him, but I can't fully condemn…
@Jolieb You have described it very well, IMO! Hence the emphasis on DILEMMA. He chose the lesser of 2 evils. His love and obsession for her has been at times overbearing and at times the only way to protect her.
I really don’t want to see her kidnapped for 2 years by JXT. A week fine, but two years?! And how come that…
Yes, more suffering, she manages to escape and reunite with YCX and her son. Amazing. ZY brings the son to YCX and that's how he knows they are alive. I'm hoping this will have a HE
IMO, her character development has deteriorated into nothing. In the beginning: she had friends, school, a job,…
@LFox I think YPJ is OVERWHELMED by so much that has happened and is happening in her life and around her. Her head, heart and life in general are in turmoil. She can't get a footing in life yet and develop her character. She is just on survival mode breathing, working, and tending to her mother. YCX though he loves her, put her through emotional hell. Then he constantly saves her and tells her how he adores her. Her mother is deathly ill. Her fiance is selfish, judgmental and unreliable and she wants to cut him off but can't. Now she finds out who her father is who he is and tried to drown her and that her 1/2 sister is the bitch who has been bullying her for years. How can anyone's character develop under such strenuous circumstances and hardship? YCX had a rude awakening while on the battlefield for a year and has had a character development. YPJ graduated from school. Started a job. Then crap started pouring on her all over her again. I think her character will get a chance for development in the upcoming episodes. 🤞🤞🤞
Honestly, I really like this, and I love the chemistry between the main lead. But for the past few episodes, the…
@Rainbow According to previews I've seen, yes, she will hate him when she recovers from amnesia because of the frame up of her Mother's death, but it is later clarified so she does get to know the truth and they get back together.

@Alida3 From what I saw in previews, they are in battlefield and she is pregnant. YCX asks her to return home and wait for him. Puts her on a ship. JXT has ship blown up. kidnaps her and fakes her death. YCX thinks she dies in the explosion.
This drama has now turned into a soap opera, any credibility just evaporated on ep 22. The writer/director/producer…
I think this is the way she is being directed to act her script and not that she is lacking in her acting skills. I also think we are forgetting YPJ is only 20 (approx) years old at this point. Who "knows it all" or knew it all at 20 yrs of age to make the decisions we think she should have made? Believe me, I hate it that she immediately blames YCX. I hate it that she pushes and pulls him. I hate that because she is conflicted with her feelings of fear of him and liking him and then the guilt of JXT in spite of what he's done, etc., she can't realize her truly feelings for YCX. Like she told him, "I don't know how to return your feelings." She also told him that perhaps if they would have met at another time or place, there might not be hostility between them. She feels the hostility. He feels love and the need to possess her. Being on the outside looking in, with a hell of lot more experience than a 20 year old girl and living in 2026 not 1920: I would have avoided YCX like the plague from the first time he came on to me and I realized he was toxic. I would never have agreed to pretend to be his GF. I would have never gone to him for help. I would have never gone back to thank him later after he left me alone. I'd be terrified of him actually fully assaulting me and I would hate even the thought of him touching my face. She is naive: she is forgiving with YCX to a point, otherwise she wouldn't approach him believing that he's no longer toxic because he understood there's nothing between them after he let her go. Having said all of the above, I believe she is definitely attracted to him and somewhat confident that he will not hurt her, but she can't give in due to the hostility she also feels. I believe she feels he provokes/challenges her just like he feels she does to him.
She is forgiving with JXT because of their childhood bond and doesn't think about what the consequences of his actions can bring to her own life or that he will become a future monster in her life. She feels compelled to allow him to accompany her and her mother during their move in spite of not really wanting him to tag along.
There's just so much to consider while figuring out her thoughts and behavior.
To me her face always looks pensive, confused like, weary because that's how she feels. I think the only happy time she had was when she was walking with JXT and eating cake and they stopped and almost kissed. She showed it in her facial expression that she was happy and was looking forward to their kiss. I just don't think her acting is lacking. Just think it's how the directors want her to come across. We shall see how she does in the future episodes when, although during the amnesia arc, she is supposed to be happy and passionate.
Should I just wait for 2 weeks and let it end and binge watch it? I am afraid this sadistic torture of anticipation…
@vincezo cassano If I would have had the strength and strong will power to wait until all 40 episodes were out, I would have waited to binge all 40 episodes probably in one wknd. If only to avoid the torture of 2 episodes a day Monday to Thursday and then 1 episode a day on the wknd. BUT I had a stronger will power to watch than the will power to wait! A few times even waited until midnight for the new episodes to drop before going to sleep at 2am! 🤣 BUT I am going to be very strong today and tomorrow and NOT watch so that on Sunday or Monday I can watch 3 to 5 episodes in a row! Good luck with your decision! 🤣
I think it's because of Tian Xiwei. I'm watching it too and she's amazing. The plot is a bit boring for me but…
TX is SUPER AMAZING! Loved her in POJ and now she is leaving me in awwwww! She deserves actress of the year award!!! She is definitely the one carrying the series. IMO, it's not that the story/plot itself is bad, it's just that it feels like I'm watching a low budget, short drama with stupid lines/scenes and short deliverance on the acting, but on steroids when it comes to all of the different scene locations, costumes, etc. There are some scenes that leave me exclaiming: REALLLLLLLY!!!??? WTH??????!!!! Well, at least I enjoy watching TX's talent and watching the series, as well as TSTR that just started today, will keep me from giving in to watching 1 episode per day of TLOA for the next 3 days! I rather wait til Monday to watch 4 or 5 episodes in a row. 😁
Why hasnt rating gone up from 8.2 for days? I'm also watching Where the Marsk Ends and it has a rating of 8.7. In my opinion, the only thing about that series worth while is Tian Xi Wei's acting which is AMAZING! Other than that, it is a glorified, high budget short drama quality series. Didn't come to bash another series here or compare it to TLOA, but I just don't understand the ratings system. Guess I just needed to vent 🤪
Loving this series! But, just realized a flaw: what about YPJ and school graduation? How come ZY didn't notice YPJ hasn't been in school and put 2 and 2 together about YCX staying at Redleaf/Maple Mansion (on Viki) for so long? Or did I miss them being done with school??? As a woman, me being ZY, I would have checked on YPJ's whereabouts from day 3 when YCX was not showing up for so long! 🤣 Not that I'm in favor of ZY at all 🤣 Looks like she's getting dumped by YCX ep 19. Mango shows previews w/out subtitles so I couldn't understand what they were saying, but it looked like a break-up. YAY! 🤣
Gotta stick up for my boy Cheng Lei. Someone down thread said "the ML desperately needs acting classes because…
@AmelieLucan I agreeeeee 100000%! First time I saw Ryan Cheng was in My Journey to You and that scene when he rides in on the horse that U mentioned is 1 of my favorite scenes! The 2nd one is the bath scene in that same MJTY. After that, I was hooked! I keep going back just to watch him in those 2 scenes! You are right, I don't think anyone else can give off that side eye stare that's so chilling and captivating! I think he is a good actor. I think he's doing an awesome job in TLOA. My faves are LOTFG, MJTY, A Famliiar Stranger and am looking forward to his nexr modern era series.
