You might not consider Uyghurs as descendants of Turks but the history does. This information can be proved via readily available history textbooks as well as a simple google search.

Although my references are a bit lousy in the terms of properness I'm sure they are more reliable than a twitter post.

I've re-watched it and this is still one of my favorites, main leads are just so loveable :)

Both, it depends on the source but content is the same.

Yes, I meant Yan Dan. I haven't read the whole novel but it looks like Ying Yuan was in the center for that one too, Yumo was the supportive 2dn lead type of a guy yet Yan Dan actually opted for him in the end. So, I don't think ending with Yumo is totally off the table.

I wonder who'll she end up with, I've just read the novel ending and Ying Yuan is definitely the 2nd lead but we shall see.

I can't believe how good this is, despite the fact autism is such tricky subject, this drama handles the good and bad without adding burden to the viewer. I am made aware of a social problem whilst not being coerced into feeling a certain way. Also all of the characters are so vividly portrayed that there is not a single scene that bores me.

Love is not love regardless of the way you express it. A stalker can claim he/she loves someone whilst it would be complete torture to the victim. Familial love can be toxic too. I enjoy a complex character and Yuan Yi is one of them yet I also find her really hateful.

Yuan Yi deemed her daughter as the worst possible candidate for marriage to the whole world, tarnishing the family name by default. In the future there is no possible way for Shaoshang to marry into any respectable family to speak of, which would also effect other women's marriage prospects in the Cheng family. I don't think she actually thinks the big picture at all. She is blinded by her own pride to teach her own child properly and blames a clueless 15 years old for her own faults. She believes that Shaoshang's misdemeanor would bring more shame and trouble to the family when it is her own mouth that ruins every possible retreat route be it for Shaoshang or Cheng family. Yuan Yi is stubborn, prideful, self-justified and firm yet those are the very same characteristics she hates when it comes to Shaoshang. Hence even if Yuan Yi loves Shaoshang it is still the cheapest way of loving someone.

Yuan Yi gets the cookie for the worst mother character I've ever seen, she is ridiculous. She constantly degrades Shaoshang in front of everybody and acts like she is doing that for Shaoshang's benefit. What a bullsh*t. If Yuan Yi gets any redemption I'll be mad. She does not deserve a f*ck. All ever she does is running her cheap mouth around without any tangible means to improve Shaoshang's education level. In a metaphorical sense, Yuan Yi keeps hitting Shaoshang when she is down and expects her to get up and fly like a majestic swan, at this point I want to beat some sense into Yuan Yi until she sees the light :)

I'm glad that you like the idea :) I would be delighted to collaborate.

Regarding to the topic of reading subs;
I've realized reading subs curbs my attention to the details, I'm apt at following everything but for me, reading captions adds another layer of storytelling to the content I'm watching. As someone who is more inclined to perceive sounds on the foreground compared to the visual cues, reading captions puts another barrier between them but it also helps me to understand the story much better.
I wonder if it also affects my evaluation for the acting prowess of the cast since my attention is actually divided between reading the subs and focusing on the scene.

Thanks for the article, it was so much fun to read while trying to remember all the dramas :) Btw, can we get an anti-hero version of this with more gritty details, that would be such a treat to read.

I came to re-watch this master piece but I totally forgot that it was freaking 78 episodes XD

This series was wonderful to watch, it is such a rare gem where all the female characters actually shine brightly, no NPC run off the mill evil female characters can be found in this show and for that this drama shall always be one of my favorites.

4th episode made me cry, Shao Shang is so pitiful, not only her mother abandoned her but even after her parents came back she is still all alone, I really hope that she can truly be detached and free.

I loved every bit of this drama, till the very end it kept me emotionally invested.

This is so much fun, I love it :)

no, I don't have a twitter account with this name.

Their farewell will be sad and frankly that preview made my eyes tear a little bit but to me that is not necessarily a sad ending to me since cha woong won't be lonely again, he has learned to fit in with humans instead of ghosts which signifies he has actually regained the will to be alive and not just a loner on a deserted island.
Btw, I don't get why he would loose his powers, he was originally a priest in his last life regardless of the Cha clan, which means he should preserve his powers even without Choi Gum. Idk, that sounds like a plot hole to me.

21-25 and tomorrow were really good imo, but aside them and this drama there was nothing noteworthy for me.
