i was legit going to post this exact thing the other day after I finished watching but I fell asleep lol, so thank you! It's nice when strangers are on the same wavelength. I really wished they had kept the original ending in the drama, could've easily made it into an extra episode

Finished it and I love how its pretty faithful yo the book. The ending is slightly different but happy nonetheless. They chose the perfect cast for this couple, loved every bit of it

oh that would be cool, but I don't hold hopes for S2 for most series lol

ah that's a shame, I feel like there was so much more to explore in the world

i was wondering but is this based off of a novel? or is it an original? if there is a novel i would love to read it

Shine on Me is quite similar in the sense that the FL is rich and her father is a major shareholder in the company she works for but no one knows - difference is that ML is also rich so it's nice seeing that dynamic instead of one being rich and the other being not as well off

hmm that's definitely a wish gone wrong, it's gotta suck majorly that he spent 9 years working his ass off to become a top striker but a wayward wish takes it all away

I hope he's able to get back what he lost, like yeah sure he kinda stole his friend's fate but now it'll be up to the friend to see how he deals with it since he knows that it's not his effort that put him in this position

also i hope she remains a gumiho, that would be more fun

I kinda wish the banquet and shares reveal was done like in the novel, like at the banquet XG is like to her uncle to go up to YS and introduce her and she says "I"m interested in you, date me" or something along those lines, but it would've been funny as.

as for the shares part, there is a lunch at the Sheng family mansion in with XG is invited as well and YS gets the shares that way, while also putting his uncles in their place, such a golden scene, pity they didn't include it.

as for the very end of 27, I don't think XG's dad is inherently bad, he's just blinded by the wrong woman, and I really hope that he finds out her true nature too, cause her type is toxic trash, her daughter too, and if he wants to get on better terms with XG then he needs to burn that trash out of his life, and even somehow end things with bokai

love the scenes between YS and XG, i cant wait to see more

just finished episode 27

just finished ep 17 I gotta say that the SML is kinda ridiculous, he gets upset on his own, misunderstands on his own, also he was narcisstic to think that she would wait for him and keep pursuing him after he rejected her the first time, maybe she would've, but that whole incident with Ye Rong and the accusations there without him actually investigating himself and getting upset about it, honestly destroyed all chances he had, even with the thesis thing he was never clear, never clarified his relationship with Ye Rong, and let Ye Rong keep giving her the wrong impression, but also he didn't go directly to the FL for clarification about anything, just get's hurt and upset himself and maybe he regrets his words and actions, but too little too late, however I do want him to honestly talk to her one time, properly so they can clear the air and honestly both get closure and move on. His colleague seems like a nice girl, maybe she would be good for him, but as of now he needs to really figure things out, be honest and let Xiguang reject him so they can move on

just how I feel

I'm up to episode 6 and am enjoying it a lot so far, I started watching simply cause it's adapted from a Gu Man novel and I love her works.
So far it's living up to my standard

yeah exactly! good overall, but lacked some of the more intense scenes

to point 3, I was really looking forward to the final battles since I really enjoyed how well it was written in the drama, but we barely got to see any of that, if we had more episodes it would've been perfect to encapsulate all the battles, like He Yan's strategies, and Lin (well in this case Cheng Lisu) treating the plague victims in the city Yan He had gone to (blanking on the names of the 4 cities in the novel since the drama took them to different ones), it would've really showed more of what war really is, and given more depth to the characters too

with the whole reincarnation ban, there were still a lot of ways they could've adapted parts of the novel so they still fit with the drama's plot.

Chu Zhao was disappointing, they really made him into such a pathetic character in the end, I did not much like him in the novel, but he was much better written and wasn't a complete mess

and this is just a personal wish, but I wish they had shown us how Yan He and Chengxiu met and fell in love, I really liked that flashback in the novel, if we had more episodes we might've even seen that

definitely would've been better if more of the intense scenes from the novel were captured, however it was pretty good over all having Cheng Lei and Zhou Ye as the leads really did bring Xiao Jue and He Yan to life, and they had excellent chemistry

they kinda ruined his character from the novel, in the novel I didn't much like him either, but he was not as pathetic as he was in the drama, it could've been a better ending

I knew they were gonna change it from the novel, but I dislike how much the ending changed... i think it would've been more interesting if they had kept the 4 battles

what I did like though is them giving Cheng Lisu and Song Taotao more character and making them both be doctors which wasn't the case in the novel as the drama combined two characters into one for each of them, not complaining about Taotao since the other character she's based on was one of the more annoying characters in the novel so glad I didn't have to see her in the drama, but I'm sad we never got to see best boy Lin in the drama since they combined his character with Lisu's which was fine, which worked well for this drama so not gonna complain there, but part of me still wants justice for my best boy Lin

the whole Chu Zhao thing towards the end was so annoying and he turned into such a pathetic character, although I had hope that Yingxiang could have a happier ending in the drama since there was no sleezebag crown prince but alas she still had to die... although I didn't like Chu Zhao's character much in the novel, at least he didn't go behind He Yan's back to try to marry her but instead told her to her face (which she ofc rejected straight away), the whole marriage decree thing executed this way was ridiculous as they could've easily done it the same way as in the novel with the Emperor decreeing the marriage between Pingting and Chu Zhao (b/f XJF was ousted) and also declaring HY and XJ to be engaged too (which was done after it was revealed that He Yan was a woman) but alas drama writers always mess the good things up when adapting

I feel like this series was a bit rushed towards the end, they could've easily made it 38 or even 40 episodes long to tie up some lose ends, I was really looking forward to the war but they didn't really show it, cause it was only in two places here whereas in the novel it was 4 different cities and 4 generals that went to war, I'm sad that Yan He had to die in the drama too, I wish he had at least gotten a happy ending, I really wanted to see more war tactics at play and if they had shown the 4 battles we would've seen some really impressive strategies from He Yan, she really is a tactical genius.

ah well, over all it was a good series, the 2 leads were perfect for their roles so I appreciated that, so I reckon this one is an 8/10 for me

spoiler tag please

aww thank you so much! I've been meaning to watch for ages but never knew the right order

oh interesting, she definitely doesn't make any sense in the drama either. In fact the only potential love interest is Miss Mo, since he kinda avoids other women. Ah well as long as they don't force it more then its all good, although I doubt it seeing the direction the drama is going lol. nothing worse than a forced love story urgh

so he has more than one wife? is Nangong his first one?

honestly I agree, its very forced and there doesn't seem to be any chemistry between the leads at all. From all the girls after him the one that I like is obviously Miss Mo and he does care for her but because she's mortal and he's not he can't pursue it, but the way he treats her and the way he treats the other ladies after him is completely different. With the FL its a lot one-sided and idk how things are like in the source material but I don't like it in this drama. There's just something off about the whole thing.
