Sssnoopyyy

Omg the one sung by Lars has been on repeat! My fave one from the track!

So effortless! Added to his charm. I saw the BTS of him practicing, doesn’t look easy!

Agreed. She excels at layered characters. She was good in Princess Agents too. I think the complexity and angst shows her acting range more

Was wondering why he looked so familiar haha

Totally love it! Loved The Long Ballad (which was a show that surprised me because I didn’t have any expectations). Now this! I’m glad they made changes from the novel because the leads sound much more mature and likeable here

Haha I was one of the few that liked the main couple in The Long Ballad. It wasn’t sizzling chemistry but it was still a nice and healthy relationship. Funny thing is I went into both dramas unsure of how things would play out given the age gap (although it’s not a big deal since we have older actors work with younger actresses). Ended up liking both

That sucks. Lol he seems unwise and one dimensional here. Would’ve been more intriguing if both male leads were amazing

I started watching this after finishing both seasons of Joy of Life hahaha she is versatile. Prefer her here

He has such a nice voice. Never watched his other works so appreciate him dubbing himself

Omgosh yes I was actually reminded of FL in AJTL when I watched some of the scenes here. Both dramas have a power couple

I guessed that the archery scene with her dressed in blue would be the ending scene. They looked happy

That’s twisted. I wonder if it was the case in the novel. Heard that he wasn’t a detestable character there. Wondering if they made him less likeable here (while making FSG more of a gentleman) to really cut things off between FYX and XJS from the get go.

Ah so we have the same directors who filmed The Long Ballad! I really liked that drama (was also a pleasant surprise for me at the time it aired). I can see the parallels between the two series - two strong and intelligent leads coming from different countries but make a great team!

He is head over heels so adorable!

No but FSG was constantly jealous over XJS and they fight a lot because of it, they are constantly wary and suspicious all the time. But guess it’s also because FYX was in love with XJS for a while. In the drama she moved on pretty quickly lol

Gotta give it to the script writer for making the changes from the novel. I didn’t read the entire novel but just enough to say that I prefer the leads in the drama version. They are well developed and are more likeable here. I appreciate the balanced and grounded relationship they have built on trust and understanding. FSG is less crude and ruthless, and FYX is more decisive and badass. Dynamics are a lot healthier here.

Since they made FSG more likeable here, it would’ve been more interesting to see the novel version on XJS here too haha. Would make it fun

Good to know! I always hear complaints on adaptations so it’s nice when there are ones that may even be better than the original

Thanks for sharing. I feel like there was so much jealousy and fighting between the leads (and the sister) in the novel because of XJS. Glad they made these changes, it would be hard to like the novel version of FSG. I mean who would like such a crude and harsh player who treats women like that? Even though it was a HE I was still wary on whether he would end up with a harem lmao.

I think the events that play out in the drama help the main OTP’s relationship develop organically. I see their relationship as more mature and balanced here.

Ooooh hehe
