huh?? there weren't any except for when her foot was injured, what are u talking about. if you are talking about…
Are you serious? There have been plenty of foot shots. From Murong Qingyi's mom's first entrance, Murong Qingyi's own entry, Ren SuSu buying flowers and her entry, the German lady's intro, SuSu walking away from the memorial hall, scenes on the ship... the list goes on. I get that the director is going for an artistic style, but when the same type of shot keeps showing up, it starts to feel excessive and becomes jarring.
For those who've watched it!! qq - is it full of gore? I started the first episode and there were so many slithering creatures (I have herpetophobia). Do they show up often throughout the series? I really want to watch it because I love Nam Joo Hyuk's acting. Please tell me!
Soooo, I just finished the first 5 episodes and I just wanna share my thoughts.First of all, I didn’t really…
Lol, these unhinged camera cuts, I’m fully expecting the characters to start spinning dramatically while a tragic title track plays on loop in the background. major flashbacks to the Hindi serials my mom used to watch.
Those name pop ups with the sound effects felt like I was watching a YouTube drama. Personally, they kept breaking my immersion. There were also a lot of water reflection shots and foreground framing, which made me think the director must have been a cinematographer before. It's a good thing visually, but at times it didn't feel very smooth. Overall, though, I'm enjoying the story from episode 3 onwards, and both leads are just 🔥
Also for those saying they don't understand the audit or business arc. Tbh that whole business arc revolves around…
If only Chen Yi had pointed out Monster Bin's hiding spot in that scrap building... he'd have been dust by now, feeding the trees as fertilizer. We could've avoided all this angst and heartbreak for my already traumatized cuties; and for the officer and his wife too.
Why do i feel like so many people just gloss over Miao Jing's pain from the past. The girl has severe abandonment…
Yes! Actually they really should've shown scenes from the six years she was away; how she coped, what her life was like, whether she ever tried to contact Chen Yi, why she ultimately decided to come back... anything to show that she suffered too.
Keeping Chen Yi's flashbacks for later is fine, but for the past nine episodes they've mostly shown her trying to provoke an emotional reaction out of him by acting cool and aloof, smirking, and then kissing him. It doesn't make sense.
The director completely missed the depth of her character's suffering. Being abandoned by the person who raised you and was your entire world should've left emotional scars that we, as the audience, could actually see. Instead, we're expected to infer all of it while watching her play mind games with Chen Yi.
After finishing The Eternal Fragrance, where the FL had me wanting to smash my laptop, I seriously hoped SWL would finally get some happy moments in LFY. But nope. He's once again stuck in selfless-love hell. And this SML trope was just as painful in Shine On Me too. That actor really made me hate him. ugh my poor, handsome SWL
FL is just a rude, ungrateful, selfish woman who thinks she is smart, yet does the opposite ,....... Who doesn't…
Are you even watching this drama? I see you putting hate comments on FL everyday over here. Seriously try to atleast think of something creative to comment , you keep copy pasting the same bs. You can drop it if you don't like it. Troll
The way I look at it everything she is doing - being reckless with the investigation and hanging out with the…
Yes, I agree with some of this. Chen Yi absolutely did everything he knew how to do for MJ, but that's also the tragedy.. 'he only knew one way'. He kept making decisions 'for' her instead of 'with' her. He never gave her the chance to understand or choose.
I don't think MJ is intentionally pushing him back into that life. I think she's trying to force him to confront the fact that he can't keep sacrificing himself and deciding what's best for everyone. Whether she's going about it the right way is another question entirely. The hot and cold behavior and the lack of communication frustrate me too.
At this point, I think both of them are making immature decisions. I'm not taking MJ's side or Chen Yi's. I just want both of them to resolve this soon so we can finally get the sweet moments. Chen Yi keeps believing he deserves that life, and MJ keeps trying to break through his walls in the most indirect way possible. That's why I'm hoping the last few episodes finally address the trauma instead of dragging out this push and pull dynamic, angst and miscommunication.

Yes, sometimes I feel that way too. What I meant is that MJ has always been torn between two things; she loves Chen Yi, but she also resents him for abandoning her, especially because it mirrors what her mother did. That conflict has been consistent throughout her character, which is why I can understand her pov even when I question her actions.
What I don't understand is why the drama keeps portraying her as so cold and unbothered when it's clearly the opposite. Why not let them sit down and have an actual conversation instead of all these mind games?
I do think she genuinely wants to bring him out of that life, but he's doing the exact opposite, and maybe that's why she's finally choosing to leave. I don't know , I need answers too. They seem to be dragging out the investigation just to buy time and as a result, both of them are behaving immaturely.
I also keep comparing this to Lighter & Princess, where the FL had the SML around as emotional support while the main couple were apart. It feels like the director is using a very similar setup here.

Atp, only watching it for my girl Chu Ran and Ling He!
Now bring on Chu Ran's shining moments. I know they're coming.💃🏻❤️🔥
Chen Yi - " The Window is broken, how can it be nice?"
Miao Jing - " You can fix it"
Three lines, and somehow an entire healing journey.❤️🩹
Ren Su su💃♥️

Make it make sense, Director.
