I noticed that too! I was impressed.

If you have issues with her voice or her acting, whatever, personal opinion. But like Precious said, if you don't like the lines, it doesn't make sense to blame her personally (or any actor/actress in general) because there is literally a script, a director, and editors who are the ones in charge of to say and what stays in the final cut.

And there were plenty of cringe lines throughout the show from different characters ("I like Chinese girls", "Cream is my least favorite" or whatever the line was during the JZ/SL fight). The cringe is part of the charm to SAL. The script itself also used some of the cringiness of JM's character to set up little plot details like the long con joke of JZ telling people she was both his wife and child because she is a picky eater and oversleeper and he indulges her.

It's also interesting when novel readers say she did a good job bringing the character to life and that's how her character acts in the novel, the people who criticize her character don't care and just blame her personally. Not only is there a script where JM is written the way she is, but the source material of the script also has her written that way.

Thanks. I keep searching and hoping I'll find it to add to my playlist.

Does anyone know where you can stream SAL Para Para Sakura audio only? Like Spotify or Apple Music or something like that?

The BGM added so much to the storytelling and really pulled you into the scenes imo.

The way I’ve seen edits just for their hands 🤣

1. Ep 15 they are officially together but there are plenty of sweet moments before then.
2-4. Yes, the technically break up and are separated for 6 years. There are reasons for the break up which is a point of dissent among viewers in terms of if the separation was justified. The separation lasts from episodes 20 to either 22 or 23 (sorry, I forget which episode they officially get back together). But after that, they stay together.
5. No 2ml or 2fl syndrome. The side characters pretty much stay side characters. There's a couple side characters that get a bit more mini storylines but those last all of a maybe 5-10 minutes for the most part. The main couple is the focus of the story.
6. No ex's. There is someone that is interested in the ML and tries to pursue him but he shuts that down pretty quickly and continuously. I would say she is also sort of controversial in terms of if people like her by the time her storyline comes to an end.
7. Happy ending, though they cut a lot of the spicy scenes in the later episodes and skipped the wedding scenes there are BTS videos for.

I think that’s one of the pros to adding Lin Sui as a character as it seemed like he helped JZ out post accident with things like a job and the apartment. I forget but the driver might also have been from him too in the show.

I find it so odd when people who say they hate a person keep track of every little thing that person does to the point where they know more about what they're doing/their history more than a lot the person's fans. 😅

It's not "The Great War", but I had saved this edit to them for "Red" and thought it was perfect for the beginning of the Nanjing arc: https://www.tiktok.com/@cbhours/video/7585921871082949909?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7547177466361136670

I think there was another I saw (I'm still going through my likes and some of my SAL edit binges were long and I don't think I kept track of all the ones I liked very well😅) and this one sadly got cut off right before the chorus that I think really hits home for them, but this one is good:

I don't know if it was this exact edit, but I remember seeing an edit of them to "You &I" and thought it was so fitting for JM and JZ 😭

Not sure about IQIYI but if you have Viki VIP, it’s there too (not sure about regular Viki).

I don’t understand dedicating the time to watch a 29 episode ROMANCE show hating one of the leads. 😭That’s so much time/effort ignoring or hating on a main character, especially for this show where the two are like 90% of the show in general. There are plenty of other shows you can watch or like you said, plenty of edits you can watch if you do want to just watch HY.

Probably the adopted siblings concept. They know they aren't blood related, but people have a mixed bag of reactions to them being adopted siblings and living in the same house for awhile prior to being separated.

I have my fingers crossed we'll get something because I feel like the Korea broadcast promo I've seen has included some new content.

I think this is it! Or at least this is one I've liked in the past: https://www.tiktok.com/@ej_xiaoju/video/7587399246207323412?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7547177466361136670

I think I mentioned this before, but in my rewatch, I was able to see a lot more intent YSX was trying to convey on my rewatch in terms of JM's character and storyline and it made a lot more sense for some of the faces she was making that seemed slightly odd during my first watch having not read the novel or know much about the plot/JM's character (and also why I think the beginning could have benefited from a few more inner monologues).

I agree HY does a great job capturing the emotion in the moment while YSX is good at thinking about the character and their storyline as a whole.

That's a fair complaint and definitely one of the reasons this show isn't for everyone. The level of "taboo" we are willing to accept in shows and how it is portrayed is definitely up to personal taste.
