In Chinese, there is a saying: 情不知所起一往情深...sorta means I don't know when it started, but I'm deeply in love. I think his love for her was gradual and it probably started when he began opening up her power.

It's definitely disappointing at first watch. When I rewatched, it wasn't so bad. Maybe cos my mind is already conditioned to accept it. Haha.

A few of the fantasy dramas I like have this kind of abrupt ending...Ashes of Love, Eternal Love, Love & Destiny...but ALP is the shortest reconcilation!

Yeah I know what you mean. And you raised a good point about plot-point to push the story forward. If we consider what he said during his sacrifice, he doesn't mind if he remains hated but all he wished was for her to live well, you're right that he doesn't really want her to have her memory back.

It is! Highly recommend it in terms of storyline and execution! Beautiful dialogues especially if you can understand Chinese. But I'll qualify that I hope you'll take to the cast especially ML & FL. I didn't watch L&R cos I wasn't into the cast.

I think she cannot believe that BJ would be completely restored so she was expecting half of him. Haha. But of course deep down, she was hoping he is neither but just BJ.

FL is smart and cool. ML taught her fighting skills but she has a brain of her own. She also is strong enough to live her destiny. But ML love her and so want to do a lot of things for her without her knowing. It's a happy ending.

Oh interesting POV on the bracelet. I kept thinking he wanted his son to give to his mother cos the bracelet has no meaning for the boy. But that aside, in reality, as viewers, most of us probably want her to have her memories back so she'll remember everything. Haha.

It'll be nice if they have a special. Haha. We can always wish. :)

Ok, someone help me. Is there a website with the Chinese novel without all the garbage ads? I can't read cos the obscene ads are all there.

Personally, I find some of the things that Bai Jue said to his son contradicting. First, I don't understand what Bai Jue said about everyone will die. Aren't they the 4 gods and how is it they would die? I thought they'll live forever. That's why Shanggu said their lives are too long isn't it? Or am I mistaken?

Second, he told his son that death is not scary, not even watching loved ones die because it's destiny and it's the natural course. I know he was referring to Feng Run but when I heard that, I couldn't help but wonder...then it shouldn't have been that scary for him to watch Shanggu die back then. It was after all, her destiny. But yet, he tried so hard to keep her alive and change her destiny. I understand his choice to die for her eventually but this conversation with his son is just a little off to me.

Another thing I have been thinking: Bai Jue loves Shanggu but isn't leaving her with the memories too painful? Why did he return them then? I know it's only right since it's her memories but...wouldn't forgetting some of it be less painful for Shanggu?

Yeah, I like the battle with Wu Huan and also her punishment is satisfying. At first when Shanggu said she'll die, I thought it was too easy. But what I didn't like is that they spent too much time on that arc and the final scene of Wu Huan is still a "nice" one if you know what I mean. I felt her daughter should be punished more severely but I think losing her princess status, seeing her family torn apart and her mom in that state is quite a suffering by itself. Anyway, I feel that Shanggu maintained her status by not being spiteful towards Jingchao so I like that.

I love the reunion of father and son too and I wish the end scene had a family reunion. That ending...arrgh...cannot fill the void in my heart!

But this is definitely a good drama that I will rewatch!

I feel like a show like Goodbye My Princess has a more satisfying ending. Yes, the ending was tragic but at least it was a good wrap up where she died for a reason and they also spent some time showing how the king longed for her as he grew old. Emotionally, I felt there was a release. Oh well.

I agree that this is a good production and the OSTs have so much feels. Although ZDY seemed strange at first but I grew to like her as the show progressed. She is a cool Shang Gu.

This definitely counts as one of my fave fantasy dramas along with Eternal Love and Love and Destiny.

Sigh. Typical C-drama ending. Anti-climax and not satisfying. I almost missed the happy ending cos I dozed off for a minute. I love this drama but can't they give us at least 10 mins of couple reunion? It looks like the time was taken to give Wu Han and her family closure.

Ooh...I missed that! Thanks!

I thought she's 19 in the drama. Cos when they were at the police station, ML mentioned she just passed 20.

Finished ep 31. A bit rushed at the end but generally, a good wrap up. This is one of the cutest C-drama romcoms I've seen recently. The dialogues are witty and the chemistry is good. Best of all, the supporting cast is gold. Love it and highly recommend it. Personally, I won't watch this for acting because it's secondary. The acting ain't ace but they're not completely flat either. Just watch for the cute interactions.

I tried Love and Redemption but the FL doesn't appeal to me unfortunately.

LOL. Well, whatever you say. ┐(￣～￣)┌

Ooh...ok, will check it out. Thanks!

Yeah, I like him too. First time watching him and he definitely stole some thunder from the leads. It's guys like him that always give us the SL syndrome. LOL.
