I'm only one who feel pity for FL's fiancé in episode 5? He was so happy too see her and he look like really…
I do feel bad for his situation! In the novel, I really did pity the crown prince. It seems like they've expanded his storyline in the drama and is making him a bigger villain than he was in the novel.
The novel is actually only 1 book - set in modern time (their reincarnated life) and throughout the novel, snippets of their past life (ancient life) were told as flashbacks from FL's POV. Production decided to expand their past life storyline into 24 episodes drama and it makes sense to it first!
Agreed! I've just finished episode 34... oh it just gets better!! I'm just baffled why this isn't more popular...…
I think a big part is the lack of english subbed episodes :( Hoping once the entire drama is subbed, it will attract more viewers (but by then, the drama would have finishes airing for at least couple of months =T)
Just finished episode 32 - this show has kept me on my toes pretty much since the timeline caught up to present time and it was no longer through the past told from YJ and JXO's pov. I really need to stop myself from watching EP 33 and 34 and stretch it out so that I can somehow last until next Thursday.
Many users in here seem to have made it their "meaning of life" to never let anyone say anything good about this…
This drama was exactly what I needed for such a shitty year - such amazing OST, writing and cast!
My cheeks hurt soo much from the smile I had on my face for the entire duration of EP16. My cheeks did get to take a little break during the scene with good boy and grandma and In Jae and family. Those two scenes I teared up - they were soo soo touching and perfect way for the two characters to come home to feel the love offered by grandma.
Lovelovelovelove Start-Up, and I'm soo happy with the pacing of EP16 (too many dramas rush through the last episode). Every character got their much deserved closure. LOVE!
Such a shame haters are rushing to rate this 1 star on douban because of this, rating dropped from 6.9 to 4.8! Wow. It's okay to hate on the actor, but to discredit the show worked hard on by other actors and crew behind the scene? Childish and rude.
This drama is so good, definitely does not deserve the 1 star.
Please go rate 1 star on LGX's douban page and leave the drama page alone LOL (not sure if there's star ratings on the actor's page).
There is no way in hell that Yan Jin is a murder (at least not by choice). I'm sure he didn't murder Zhan Yu- it's a chinese drama, there's no redemption for an evil character (they either die or get punished by law) and I don't think this story will go there.
I have a feeling Feng Wei Xing is the true murder/bag guy here. I am pretty certain he killed Zhan Yu - remember the scene when the police questioned what he was doing on NYE? I thought it was weird that they showed such a detailed scene of his night when watching it. When he mentioned Fang Ni Ya fell asleep for a bit (and he mad her congee), I think that's when he went to Yan Jin's place and somehow murdered Zhan Yu.
All of the plot points introduced in episode 26 and 27 were sooooo good - Yan Jin was the one who shot his buddy 6 years ago, him and his sister paid off someone to take the blame for the murder (now the sister is being blackmailed for money by the widow), police discovering shortcut hallway in Yan Jin's parking garage that he could have used to transport the body of Zhan Yu - SOOO SOO GOOD!
HOLY MOLY! I just finished episode 26 and that revelation is so exciting! I was worried on what else is there left to tell and that the story may drag, but YES!!! I'm all here for where this is going. 10000%.
Loving LGX and GYX's chemistry! Shipping them both on and offscreen!
edit: holy episode 27! I can't wait for subs to come out so that more international fans can understand and enjoy this masterpiece.
I have a theory that I will post in spoilers in my next post. Please don't click on it until you've watched episode 27!
And guys, anyone fighting about two fictional characters getting the girl? Are you guys seriously lmao? CAN WE…
I love this drama and I find there's not many places online where I can turn to in order to gush and fangirl over how much I loved each episode after watching it.
It mades me sad this place has become so toxic with fan wars :( There's still 8 episodes left, I hope we can all watch the remaining episodes in peace and just enjoy the story telling, acting and the OST together without putting any characters down.
Seriously. People are shitting on DS for not telling her the truth, but JP had just as many opportunities to tell…
If I was JP, as a reasonable man, I would have no one to blame but myself for someone else "profiting" in this situation.
I would blame myself for not coming clean to DM from the beginning after running into her after15 years. I would blame myself for begging DS to go to the dinner party and to pretend to be penpal DS. I would blame myself for lending him my car, house, suits and expensive watch. JP set up and enabled the lie - he went out of his way to help setup and reinforce the lie.
But knowing JP's character, he will not blame DS in this situation because he's an adult who is completely capable of making his own decisions. He can take the consequences for the choices he made, whether the consequences means he may not get the girl or he does - we don't know yet until the end of the drama.
By the way, the only reason why DS is "profiting" from this is because of his own efforts. He did not walk into DM's life and have her kiss him immediately because he was her penpal from 15 years ago. DS worked hard to get the girl. He wore his heart on his sleeves and never once hid his feelings for DM. He has been in her corner since day 1 - no matter what doubt others cast her way. He's always the first one to say Yes! to her great ideas and he works hard on making her ideas come to life. DM can see all the effort he's put in from the day she met him in person. I will always love him for creating NoonGil because of grandma. He barely knows her but he knows how important she is to DM.
As a viewer, I don't think JP sees himself as a victim and does not have a disadvantage - if anything, he has the upper hand. Once the lies comes to light, DS has the most to lose between JP and DS.
K-Drama 
We have to assume ZSC was in his teens when the king passed away in EP 1, but they didn't find a younger actor to play him lol.
