Two things. 1. I don't understand why Yan Zheng didn't send his men to look for her sister after rescuing Changyu. Why did he focus on the bandit's lair instead of the town? 2. Why did he not leave SOMEONE in town to look over Changyu when he left? Surely he has a few spare soldiers. The news may have got to him faster than a freaking bird.
This is a 9/10 drama for me - from the writing to the production, everything was excellent.
Tian Xi Wei killed it in this drama. She embodied the powerful cat lord so wonderfully and it was her performance that made this world of demons and humans believable. Wang Jia Yi is also so good in this drama, it's hard to believe she's only 22, I'm looking forward to her future dramas. And oh my Wu Jun Ting with whom I fell in love with in "Time and him are just right", he apparently also excels in playing evil because he really made me hate his guts in this drama.
All in all a very entertaining drama, it's going on my rewatch list!
It feels like everybody else is acting in a serious atmosphere but the fl acts like she's not in the real world.…
The FL isn't in the real world though, she entered into her favourite novel. She's not trying to survive or fit in, she's just trying to enjoy the experience. This drama definitely leans heavy into the comedy genre and much of that comes from the FL which I personally enjoy
I'm never trusting MDL ratings again, first two eps were pure entertainment. Laughed out loud at multiple points in those episodes, the drama doesn't take itself too seriously which I absolutely love. But I have a question, how on earth do almost 300 people rate an entire drama based on 2 eps? Ridiculous.
From the start, I took this drama too seriously and thought I was getting into a smart, slick, action packed kind of drama. I think if I took it as it is (pure comedy and entertainment), I would've enjoyed it a lot more. Instead, I ended up getting way too stressed out because the actions of the characters seem so ridiculous to me. I finished it for Seo Kang Joon because he is so pretty in this drama. I also have a real soft spot for Jin Ki Joon. This drama had a lot of potential, but fell flat for me - 4.5/10
FH blaming WH for that driver He ‘s death was again ridiculous . Everyone makes choices - that guy made a choice…
This is actually a choice a lot of delivery people make here in China, because of the system people like WH has set up. While it's not 100% his fault, he still carries certain responsibilities considering the position he holds within the company.
I don't think a better proposal scene exists in C-drama land. It was so realistic and heartfelt that I didn't feel any cringe or awkwardness (which I ALWAYS do because proposal scenes are cheesy AF). I laughed when they laughed, cried when they cried, and watched with anticipation just like their two best friends. Bai Jing Ting's shaky hands sealed the deal because who isn't THAT nervous when proposing to the love of their life. Ugh, it's going to be so hard to move on from this drama.
it's not in the novel it was the other way around, Sang Yan was the one who rans away and Yi Fan chase after him…
I actually think this would've frustrated me so much. WYF cannot have another person abandon her considering all the trauma she has from her own mother abandoning her. I hate the idea of her being forced to tell her story before she felt ready to because of the threat that the person she trusts and loves the most would abandon her if she didn't.
I feel for you, but it's time to move on from her, ma man. No matter how hard you try, no matter how much effort…
Honestly, I respect this. Real life is messy, and hurt people hurt people. A character like SY is quite unrealistic, he only exists in people's imagination. While I deeply empathise with WYF's character and her actions, and I understand that she is only doing what she can to survive her horrific circumstances, it's also true that her actions is painful to someone who loves her as deeply as SY. Not all of us have the capacity to carry the kind of trauma WYF has, and I think in real life, that is 100% ok.
To all commenters below we are not undermining Wen Yi Fan ofcourse continuous SA will really have a huge blow…
All you said is fair if WYF was not a victim of SA and experiencing extreme PTSD. Every family has their issues, but her situation is extremely messed up. No security, no love after her father passed, her mum ABANDONED her over and over again. She carried this trauma for years. For the audience to expect her to suddenly know how to trust someone with this trauma by re-living that moment again as she communicates her story with SY after short period, is simply unfair to her character.
The first time she left SY because she had just experienced something incredibly traumatic. It was a double whammy - first her uncle, then her mum. Her mum's abandonment was probably double the trauma of her uncle. She was a teenager trying to survive. This time she left him because she wanted to protect him. She fears her uncle. Her uncle is a giant monster and she has survived for years by living an insignificant life, like if she just cowers low enough, no one will see her. Her uncle turning up again gave her major PTSD (the panic attacks, the sleepwalking). She wants to protect SY from her uncle, she doesn't want him to be a victim the way she is a victim. So she is being loyal to her original thought of 'I will not hurt SY again'. It might seem messed up to us, but that is what abuse does. It messes up a person. So the writers are actually being realistic and respectful towards people who have been through this type of trauma.
I think many of you guys need to re-evaluate how you view sexual assault victims/survivors. This drama is HEAVY,…
Spitting facts. The comments in here complaining about how the drama has deviated the novell has me offended, not because I don't understand WYF is a fictional character, but because this character represents many SA victims. The complaints about her being weak, running away, etc. shows the complete lack of understanding, empathy and patience we as a society have for humans just like WYF. WYF shows the bravery of a survivor trying to crawl out of the hell abusers put their victims in. SHE IS STRONG AF. I hope through this drama and these kinds of comments, people are able to gain insight to the pain of a SA/R victim
WYF's actions are quite realistic of a person who has been through the kind of abuse she has gone through. I understand how it can be frustrating to watch as an outsider, but hopefully this gives insight as to how hard it is to climb out of the hellhole that victims are put in by their abusers.
A victim shouldn't have to relive their trauma until they are ready to. WYF has carried her abuse by herself for so long. The way her mother abandoned her at her most vulnerable point messes up a person badly. For her to be able to release that burden to be shared with by another person must be unbearably difficult.
And I could not love SY more. Even before he knew all the facts, he understood WYF. He never pushed her to share more than she was able to share. Instead, he showed her that he could be her safe space. And whenever she feels ready to, he will carry her trauma with her.
even in douban too the hate there is also much, I think it's mostly because the FL is young( I see no issue in…
To be fair, I really liked Julia in Forever Love and didn't actually recognise it was her in this drama until I looked it up. I don't know if it's a miscast, but I'm currently on episode 2 and struggling to watch her in this role. I'll probably push through to see if it improves, and I'm not being a hater, but she doesn't seem to quite fit this role so far

Wang Yi Fen's life is too painful.
