While the ML & FL had nice chemistry, I actually got really into snooker (particularly the competitions where Lin Yiyang & others faced interesting challenges). Another aspect of this drama that I truly enjoyed was the brotherhood and sportsmanship shown by Meng Xiaodong, Jiang Yang, & Lin Yiyang. Their relationship was truly worth admiring.
A lot can be said by one episode, particularly the last one. I watched it, and this drama is definitely not my cup of tea. Liu Yifei certainly looked pretty in it though…
Watched it all in a very short amount of time, though inhaled would be more appropriate. This drama was great.
Wei Xie was obviously in love with her in both lives: in the first one, he was super sick and had a very twisted way of showing it, whereas in the second one, having a very good understanding of each other, their relationship was much healthier (though his possessiveness, stemming from huge trauma and abandonment issues, wasn’t exactly healthy).
Obviously by the end, his ptsd is dealt with because of her and his own efforts to overcome it, so that can only add to how right they were for each other. Her commitment issues, stemming from fear of making incorrect choices, had been resolved as well, and I think it’s only because of their great love and understanding of each other.
Zhang Zhe would’ve never been right for her. He was her standard of perfection, but one she could never attain and would always fear she’d stain it. She put him on a pedestal. I even doubt she was actually in love with him at all; it was more like a mix of admiration for his abilities and worship of his character. Unlike Xie Wei, ZZ would’ve never been able to sacrifice the whole world for her. That would’ve always fed her own commitment issues and brought disaster upon them.
Wan Lin, I’m certain, could have sacrificed the world for her in the first life, where he’d been betrayed and greatly wounded, but in the second life - much less likely. He was a good guy, but ultimately not suitable for her either.
It’s been a while since I have ugly cried as much as I did for a drama, yet the last three eps had me bawling for Zhong Xi Wu’s heartbreak. I was so happy when she chose to go back to the one truly waiting for her. It would’ve been great if we got at least one kiss from them, but their chemistry was so good, I can’t complain too much.
Loved the drama, but I don’t know if my heart could take rewatching it a second time.
I sympathized with what she went through, but what she did after that was not acceptable. The world would be full…
Well said. The pain from the loss of a child cannot be described, I’d know, but that doesn’t give me or Wanning a green card to behave like a psychopath and take peoples’ lives left, right, and centre.
Absolutely addictive. I couldn’t stop watching it. Well acted, executed, and directed. I truly enjoyed it. Xiao Heng & Jiang Li had incredible chemistry, and the acting of the both of them + Wanning was hands down the best.
The ML chosen for Xiao Heng/Duke Su definitely understood the assignment. His eyes reminded me of an ancient fox, all knowing, playful but predatory. Perfect casting. His masculine charm shone through & through.
I liked the drama, and while the FL was a bit too perfect, the actress did her best to show her as more human and less of a Mary Sue. It would’ve been better if they had given her a bit more of a character development and not made her pretty much infallible. Not that she hadn’t learnt certain things at all, but let’s be honest, they weren’t major flaws. Even her impulsiveness was shown as being righteous, and through its consequences - ultimately a good thing.
The ML’s growth was quite good, but certain actions of his (like taking several royal family members into the Hua family & not even telling his sister about their family’s situation) are on the questionable side.
The ending of the drama does leave something very important unresolved: he will keep looking young, while she ages. Basically Twilight 2.0 dilemma, which cannot be resolved through DoHee becoming a demon, similar to how Bella became a vampire.
He will either have to choose to become human (if that’s even allowed), or at some point not be able to be seen with her in public or even in photos, unless he makes himself look older.
Don’t even get me started on what will happen once she passes away (from old age). Will he choose to disappear from the world again (a la Edward Cullen)? Sad…
Just like you, I’m in awe that the Chinese censors allowed such HOT kisses to be shown in the drama. Who cares about the drama plot, the FL & ML could light up a small county with the power of their chemistry 🤭
She’s 19, it’s mentioned several times in the drama. After her birthday, she’s 20. She’s a genius kid,…
Sometimes age gaps can be an issue for couples, however that’s mainly due to lack of good communication and often wanting different things from a relationship. In their case, they complement each other really well and want the same thing, so it worked out really well ❤️
