Haha, different tone and different genre. FL is not a hopeless romantic and it kind of coincides with modern women…
I like love-hate tropes. When done right, it leaves you with a lasting impression. So it depends on the execution. When you say messy and angsty, I get a picture of Gui Hong in my mind. And I feel bad for this character because he was reduced to being bitter and frustrated. There are a lot of ways to portray a villain. Rage-bait is one, but it can be emotionally draining.
oh gosh I almost gave up at Ep 26, and it will get messed up in the episodes ahead. Hold on until the end. Just…
NH/LSL appealed to emotions and his actions are in sync with logic because he's into his character or at least in the drama, he's THAT character. SYM has that added level of consciousness because she's SXY in "real life, a layer of reality that detaches her emotions from the script that she's in. I get it that she is reluctant to fully step in because it's fate. But the drama could have polished the plots, timing, and character development. Her indecisiveness stretched to almost two-thirds of the drama where the scriptwriter had to 'step in' and 'salvage' his work. Even that took the drama to whole new level of messiness.

Hmm. The FL is not a hopeless romantic, I'd agree to that. Maybe that's why after all of what Song Yimeng said about killing NH, her "redemption" fell short/lacking. The timing (of her "redemption") could have also been better.
Yimeng saying that she did all of that to kill him reminded me of Bai Lu's character in TTEotM. And to hear this when more than half of the drama has been watched, is disheartening, frustrating and dismaying to hear.
At some point in this drama, I kept thinking, "could this get any worse?" It only got better in the last few episodes.
Oh drama gods, please give him a main role in a drama so I can binge-watch him and wash this rancid taste away when I remember his character from "A Dream within a Dream."
Trueee. LYN's chemistry with SZE will be hard to top. In this one, it felt like his character Nan Heng is the…
so so true! The chemistry and the tension between the two was incredible. I ship them so bad that I wish they were a couple for real.
Although I do appreciate Liu Yu Ning here because Nan Heng is a lot warmer and expressive compared to his stern and cold Wei Shao in TPOB. I hope to see more of him!
From the older brother (Da Ge) in HL to romantic gallant knight in TFF, Sang Yan made us all fall in love with him. BJT's portrayal of Sang Yan was different from Victor Ma in HL. But I liked them both given the context of the dramas.
At the opening scene of Episode 8, we see mother and daughter arguing. In her car seat, the mom tells her daughter to give up dancing because it's expensive. The daughter, who was standing in the rain with her broken umbrella, reasons she doesn't need the mom to spend money on her and she can practce on her own.
The mom won't have none of it so she grabs an umbrella, steps out of her BMW, and reaches out for her.
The next part gets a little crazy. She still tries to convince her daughter to give it up, saying that the family is struggling financially and the stepdad's clinic has been losing money. The mom and daughter exchange arguments, one reasoning that her stepsister is studying art and also needs money. Mom doesn't budge and says her stepdaughter needs to study art to get into college.
At this point, the daughter asks, "Does that mean I need to give up dancing?" And it dawned on her mom that she unconsciously admitted that her daughter was never the priority, if not even part of, the family.
The daughter says she understands and walks away with her broken umbrella, and leaves her mom speechless.
All this while, the ML stood at the background and observed the drama that unfolded.
While I was sitting on my couch thinking...the mom fuggin drives a BMW. *flips table*
K-Drama 
ok but I still don't feel her. 😫 Thank you, Boo! 😘
