13 Fireflies

I'm actually in the middle of watching LBFAD and as much as I like it, I can't help but compare DFQC and XLH's relationship to Youqin and Yetan because of course, I had the unusual experience of watching TSL before LBFAD. I love the bad boy trope, don't get me wrong, and I can even excuse a lot of toxicity for the sake of creativity but man, is that relationship toxic. I have this running list in my head of all the massively toxic things that keep happening between that couple. It's very reminiscent of Meteor Garden in many ways. I think what I loved about Youqin and Yetan is that it proved that you don't need to have heaps of toxicity and "I protect her by hurting her" melodrama for a romance to be enjoyable and swoon-worthy.

I should probably watch Truth...especially if he used his real voice. Getting used to Tan Xuanlin's voice in FIL took some effort but eventually the chemistry won me over and I got used to it. It helped that his character is basically charisma on legs.

Sadly, I have to agree. As much as I like her, the over-acting is like nails on a chalkboard for me. I don't blame her, this is definitely on the director.

MDL staff looking at this comment section: They just won't shut up

Why is he so adorable...I mean, CXX have mercy

I started L&R and put it on hold after two episodes. I can already tell just how much Cheng Yi carries the drama...I plan to continue but every time I think of picking it back up I groan because I just KNOW it won't be an easy ride for me.

"If you enjoy pointless angst and 90's power ranger music coming on every time the female lead uses her powers, then Love and Redemption is for you!"
I'm on the floor xD

They're so competent I'm in awe of them...their MVs and edits are pretty perfect

My God he's such boyfriend material

I was straight up smiling like an idiot.

xD We'll be reminding each other to take our fiber and soak or dentures.

You got it! 27 years old <3

Just a FYI, there's a short official mini series epilogue released for GMP that contains a happy ending. It's only 4 short episodes but they more than make up for the SE. You can find it on Youtube. It's about their third life which is mentioned in GMP itself during their "second life".

BOTH, well I fell for him since GMP but Youqin just made that exponential xD

I heard he'll play a 30 year old? Even though he was only 26 when he shot this.

I love your pfp :( ...also your comment just made me sad, I can't let go

I really really wanted to like this but after struggling for 6 episodes I think I'm going to have to bow out. It's a complete disconnect for me. I watched for PXR but something about her acting and the internal logic of this drama feels off. I might pick it back up if the reviews are glowing after it's done airing.

So happy you loved it...it's such a great xianxia, scratch that, great drama period, well beyond just the xianxia genre. <3

I totally get you :3 It doesn't help that all the BTS and extra content has kept me in the pit...

How I hope business things were discussed at said dinner...as in extra content to be shot *side eyeing Liu Ning*
