It's the same in Moonlight Mystique, but the dude is easy on the eyes so, that's alright for a lot.

fair enough

But she did take a stand, bit by bit. Your comment doesn't make sense bruh. Both the ML and FL are damaged people and that is why it works.

It is but it wouldn't be a romcom then.

weird shit but okay

wild mentalist reference

I think she did in the original story. But the parents were crazier there, much crazier.

Quite understandable considering the situation she was in. They toned down the drama a lot from the novel due to censor issues but boy she's a strong one.

Everyone in this drama is flawed but that's being human. ML was understanding. He started to soften up when he saw her making an effort trying to break out of an impossible situation, realizing that he has not quite moved on and trying to push her away wasn't gonna work. He was understanding enough to not reveal to her about the whole ordeal knowing how that would totally break her.

It is baffling that China are producing better shows recently even with 500 different censor laws that they have to navigate through lol. I hope K-content producers get a reality check.

With the entry of Netflix, Disney plus, amazon prime.. garbage ratio has increased a lot.

Netflix has an algorithm of producing content. It's an open secret. Basically they use big names, throw a lot of money and use extravagant set pieces yet the content is hollow, and still make good money. Most of us who watch something on netflix, we pay half attention towards it. But it keeps on playing in the background while we are texting someone. Stuff getting streamed, makes them money. Netflix knows this, and doesn't bother on deep writing.

They do have some good stuff but most are just empty inside. Netflix K-content has more popular IG and YT reels compared to the actual show premise.

Good to see a bunch of geopolitics and economics experts here on mdl..

Not a whole lot of good kdramas taking place, mostly mediocre, while cdramas had some bangers come out one after another. So that side is more buzzing.

You can blame Netflix for that.

Being laid back adds to the rewatch value. One can enjoy it feeling good without reliving emotional turmoil lol

It is slow burn but not as slow as Amidst a snowstorm of love. It helps that both leads here are cheerful people while the ML in the billiard show, is a quiet dude. It is somewhere in between Snowstorm and The Best Thing, imo.

Yeah they do show the main points in flashbacks. But there are many little things, subtle things are carried over by the characters that are reborn.

Fair enough. If you don't like tragedies then that show is a no go. It's a shame that they had to split the novel into two series because of the censor laws. Proper story adaptation would be, one and only/forever and ever taking place side by side.

If you do rewatch Forever and Ever sometime, make sure to watch the detailed recap for one and only and read the background song subtitles. Only drama where songs include story bits and context.

It should be available on iqiyi wenxue, but in Chinese. You could translate it.

It does NOT have a happy ending but that is why it makes Forever and Ever much more special. Both dramas are connected. These two shows also elevated Bai Lu as a titan of an actress.

That's a huge list bud. I have watched like 20 from them lol. You have watched Forever and Ever but not One and Only ?
