I’m glad to see him in more lead roles. He reminds me of a younger version of Chen Xiao

I LOVEEEEE ZLS.. I’ve probably watched and enjoyed most if not all of her shows. She is one of my favorite actresses.

But I don’t think she delivered on this series, unfortunately. Not saying she’s terrible or anything like that, I think this portrayal is rather lackluster. For both ZLS and WAY, and if you know my history here, I’m a HUGE fan of WAY and was so psyched for this pairing.

The characters seem so bland and unmenorable with limited facial expressions. This drama was enjoyable, but I don’t think ZLS and WAY created anything “epic” in this story.

The worst father of the year goes to Hua Mo. 🤮

I think the story should be lower considering the script and directing is one of the weaker parts of the story, and I’d personally rank the cast a tidbit higher. But I agree with your overall general assessment. I think I anticipated this so much that it just failed to meet the hype, especially when we compare it to ALP.

I agree with all of your points. Every single one.

This woman is only 35 and she already plays such mature roles! What a fantastic actress! I’d love to see her in a thriller.

It’s the makeup AND the filter. If you look at BTS footage and stills from filming, you can clearly tell the makeup department’s using foundation shades many times too light AND THEN NOT BRINGING IT DOWN TO THE NECK.

The filter isn’t going to just make their faced white and leave their necks and bodies darker. 😂

None that add ang value to the story. One can watch TLI without having watched ALP and still not miss any story.

I really wish dramas would stop putting chalky white makeup on actors. 😭 or at least get the undertone right, and match the neck to the face 😭😭😭

I just finished ALP and also restarted TLI. There’s no overlapping stories or connections except that YuanQi is their children.

😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I put TLI on hold, then binged ALP over the break. I loved it.

Dang… ep 22 is PAINFUL to watch.

No. I just finished watching ALP and you don’t need any of the backstory to enjoy or follow TLI.

thank you, friend!

Starting over now that I’ve finished ALP. I look forward to reveling in all the references. 🥰

Question: Why didn’t tribulation of chaos not disappear the first time?

Was it a bot?

“She fell first, he fell harder.”

I’d give it a try again. In terms of storytelling, pacing, CGI, script, acting, cinematography, character development, just everything is very well done.
