I am absolutely loving Speed and Love 2025 so far! The chemistry, the pacing, everything is just perfect and has…
To be fair, she sends him a photo with the guy first… then he walks in and finds her unconscious in a room with him would obviously trigger Jin Zhao’s worst assumptions. Expecting calm questioning in that situation feels a bit unrealistic 😭
Honestly liking Esther Yu so much more here than in her recent dramas. She’s not doing that over-the-top, made-up childlike voice or forced cutesy behavior. Her tone feels natural, and her innocent-girl acting actually makes sense for once.
iQIYI hasn’t released any official airing date at all. So the problem isn’t iQIYI, it’s the MDL staff for approving an airing date and schedule without verifying if it was official in the first place.
Your point about the doctor is completely fair, if someone has shown zero romantic interest after a long period…
Them having a ‘relationship’ is a completely different matter. In the past, the male character was still a teenager while the FL was already a full-grown adult, which makes any romantic angle inappropriate and legally problematic. Her mother even says he left for abroad in his final year of school, confirming he was a minor. So romanticizing that dynamic is ignoring a very serious boundary.
I'm someone that if I was interested in someone, in this case a friend, but that other someone is very clearly…
Your point about the doctor is completely fair, if someone has shown zero romantic interest after a long period of friendship, it’s reasonable to maintain boundaries and move on. But that exact logic holds for the male lead as well. The FL hasn’t given him any real signal either, not then and not now. The “tension” people point to exists almost entirely because he kept inserting himself into her space. Without him repeatedly pushing that line, there would be nothing to read into. So if we’re being consistent, the doctor isn’t the only one who should reconsider where he stands.
I loved the drama, but the ending with her parents really bugged me. It felt so sudden how she stopped being the “black sheep” just because her siblings had a fallout. That doesn’t erase all the years her parents sidelined her simply because she wasn’t as academically perfect as the others. It would’ve been so much more realistic if she had accepted that she still loves her parents, but they’re toxic and then moved on with her life. Sometimes people, even family, don’t deserve space in your thoughts. Instead, the drama rushed into a neat happy ending, and the part I related to the most ended up feeling oversimplified and unrealistic.
This drama is so similar to Love O2O lol. I’ve seen other gaming dramas but none feel this close. Like yeah, the characters are different, but the whole vibe is the same, ML with his squad, him being the boss, getting married in the game, calling her his wife, dating from the moment they met… I’m honestly loving it, just wish the game world and costume looked a bit better.
Du Ting Xin should’ve been Empress, period. She’s loyal, smart, and actually understands how a palace works. Meanwhile the ML is drowning in his illness and blind love, and the FL is way too naïve manipulated by her father, protected by the ML, and constantly playing damsel in distress. How is that empress material?
If DTX were Empress, the empire would be stable, heirs secured, and she’d probably end up as queen mother in the long run if ML ends up dying because of his illness. She’s actually fits the crown. Unless they make her evil later on.
it’s not that every guy falls for her, she just has a talent for spotting the “I can save her” types or the ones who think she’s their personal redemption arc.
why was this even tagged as romance? be serious. there was nothing romantic about their relationship. she literally worshipped him like a savior, not loved him like a man while for him, it was more about finding companionship and relief from loneliness.
the moment he killed Qintong made it crystal clear. it was “necessary,” sure, but no actual lover could’ve done that, not even for some greater cause. rumu or even the poor dog wouldn’t have done it. calling this romance is just false advertising at this point.
It’s honestly wild to think Fugui is only in his early twenties, a guy who’s spent most of his life confined within his home, only stepping out to slaughter demons. Yet somehow, among all the characters...the elders or the younger ones who’ve seen the world. He’s the one who carries the most wisdom.
As for Qingtong’s sacrifice, it didn’t even feel tragic to me. It felt… right. Like her purpose had finally been fulfilled,helping Fugui save the world was what she was meant to do. And even Fugui’s own death didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would. Because really, if he had lived on alone, it would’ve been another Hong Ye all over again. Without Rumu, Qingtong, or his father, what would be left for him anyway?
For me, it’s actually a happy ending. They’re all gone, but it feels peaceful like everyone finally got to rest.
why everyone is acting like it’s weird that qingtong misses her brother. just cuz they didn’t show many scenes of them together doesn’t mean they weren’t close. they literally grew up as each other’s only family. before qingcheng went all evil, they both dreamed of a better future together. and like… qingtong became a spy and even drugged fugui for qingcheng’s safety in the beginning. she clearly cared a lot.
Today’s episode felt kinda underwhelming. I was dying to see their reunion but it just came off really flat. Also, why is Hong Ye suddenly calling Qing Tong “Miss Qing Tong”? Did I miss a scene or something? Last time he literally told Fu Gui to kill her!
Can we talk about how this ML is already better than 90% of others in this genre? Any other drama and the “FL poisoned ML” scene would’ve started 10 episodes of misunderstandings 😭
Well ignore those excessive ratings. The 10s for unaired episodes I can still understand because it comes from…
Sure, 1s are unnecessary hate, but pretending 10s for unaired content are “support” is just sugarcoating the same problem from the other side. It’s okay to be excited, but at least let the show air before you crown it a masterpiece.
I’m pretty sure Situ Ling’s genuinely a good person for now, but let’s be honest the moment he realizes MY only has eyes for JBZ, it’s over. He’s either going full villain or pulling that tragic self-sacrifice move. They made his backstory so pitiful just to make us feel bad later, didn’t they? Like come on, every idol drama needs one extra man hopelessly in love with the FL it’s basically a requirement at this point.
this was by far the best ending of any transmigration with return to modern times stories in all the 700+ dramas…
I wouldn’t call it the best, Romance of Tiger and Rose pulled off a similar ‘ML dreaming of FL’ ending but with way more closure. At least there ML didn’t spend his whole life just with her memories.
If DTX were Empress, the empire would be stable, heirs secured, and she’d probably end up as queen mother in the long run if ML ends up dying because of his illness. She’s actually fits the crown. Unless they make her evil later on.
