I've seen some of his singing videos, too he he...but I think his role as XL is gonna be his most iconic one (up to now).

Yes, esp. in this S2 when his obsession starts to be off the charts.

THIS!!!!!! In the beginning I didn't know him at all and he didn't look like my usual preferred type at all, but his character, his voice, and his portrayal of XL/FBB won me over.

I've come to love his voice, too. He also has this elegant vibe.

Yeah, the younger me once chose a different type than my (current) husband, only to realize we didn't match that well. We live, we (hopefully) learn. :-)

He he he he he...I'm glad you can relate to what I said he he he...I was in a rambling mood. This drama tends to make me do this (what a rare gem!).

I actually enjoyed watching the many different expressions Cang Xuan character has shown in the past few episodes ha ha ha ha ha...from the hint of a smile and then pretending to be mad, etc. etc. etc.

IC. I must've remembered wrong. I seem to have read somewhere that XL erased some of her memories (from the novel) in the thread of S1, but I may be wrong.

The talk between XY and (old) Tian'er reminds me of the story I once read about how a guy refused to let himself feel too much because he was afraid of the depth of the feeling of loss (if his beloved died first). In the end, his long-time wife did die first and when he was asked if it helped that he had protected his heart not to feel too much, he said no. That self-defense mechanism didn't help him at all.

I once had a long-distance relationship (now I'm married to him) that required me to put a brake on my feelings because I was missing him too much and it hurt like hell, but the harder I hit the brake, the harder it was for me to experience other feelings (like joy and happiness). Yes, I managed to stop myself from missing him, but by hitting that brake hard, I also blocked myself from being able to experience other (happier) feelings. It took a lot of fine-tuning to be able to hit the good balance hehehhhhh...

Also, if I remember correctly, XL erased the memories of his time with her inside the shell, so she doesn't have any memory of those years (she doesn't know he lost one head to save her). So she only remembers the good deeds of FFB. Sigh...

I agree with you about TSJ. It's understandable why he became like that and why XY chose him instead. For me personally, though, it's hard to think of myself with someone like TSJ ha ha ha...

Yeye: "No one can have everything they desire." BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMM!!!!

Yeah, their status is like Romeo and Juliet. That was also why XY once said if only she had been the one to save him instead of the general.

Killing me softlyyyyyyy hahahahhh...but seriously, this drama makes me cherish the people in my life more. The right timing, right people. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

No need to be loyal in dramaland. Just simp as much as you want hahahahahahhhh...not slutty at all. You can be attracted to different people for different reasons.

BWAHAHAHAHHH but I love how it makes me think. Not making me despaired/gloomy, though hehe...

Same. So many reflections abt life. I didn't read the books but this drama version nailed that aspect/depth.

4 episodes in and my HEAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRTTTT!!!!! One thing I LOVE about this drama is how it makes me think about the trajectories of life (based on each person's personal choices/preferences either due to personality + past traumas + experiences). How two people can care about each other A LOT LOT LOT LOT, but their life trajectories are SO far apart that it's just impossible for them to be together (as a couple)....so many feels!

Yes, I also feel the same (other than the obvious heartbreak). After helping Cang Xuan get the throne, now her life is more "idle" and she's lost some purpose in life. I actually liked it when she started selling medicine again and wearing plain clothes. Because once she was forced back, she became listless again for a while (until she found the encyclopedia that made her excited again).

Sharp CCTV and then the "DNA" test BWAHAHAHAHAHAHH...

I was wondering why he had to unbutton the jacket BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...
