True. I so like the parts he interrogates her about the guy she likes:)

Since I’ve watched it twice and pretty much remember their conversations. I’ll rewatch their scenes again and concentrate on their faces this time, not the subtitles:)

And at looking good:)

Omg. The way he looks at her. He is one of the very very few actors whose eyes genuinely show his fascination for her. . Once again, i’m hooked.

I totally agree with you. The author knows their characters best, to have both Ling Buyi and Shaoshang become shadows of their former selves does not do justice to the epic love story that LLTG is..

The scriptwriters took out the healing process.

To get over the disappointment, my son (i actually cried while complaining to him) told me to just consider them as separate stories.. so i can move on..

Even though it had a happy ending, i cried because of the disappointment..

You worded it perfectly. The disappointment we novel fans feel is difficult to move on from because most of the novel is in the drama.

How could we not look forward to those scenes enacted? Visualizing is different from actually seeing them portrayed by Leo and Lu Si. I’m heartbroken because they did their roles so well, we invested our emotions, they became part obsession.

Though we knew they were going through the difficult break-up, we thought it
would be worthwile if we saw him begging, no,
groveling.. the great general on his knees. That would
have made this drama more
unforgettable.. that would
have made the angst and
the buckets we cried for
them worthwhile.

All those reconciliation scenes in the novel would have been great to see.

The novel was difficult to read (google translate), really looked forward to how they would be acted out..

Their break-up and the events that lead to it were heartwrenching to watch.. the way they got back made
me go —ehh? What happened?..

Yes, it was Lu Jtong who told him the scar had almost faded. LBY went to Shaoshang to bite her again, even brought the ointment to prevent infection..

Yes, they followed that. Lu Jitong also caused LBY to bite her again in the novel.

After watching the fasttrack epidodes, my heart aches terribly. Yes, its an epic drama with a happy ending, but I feel something is missing. The reconciliation arc in the novel is more intense. I was so looking forward to Huo Buyi’s dashing moves, Shaoshang’s determined resolve, Yuen Shan’s persistence. It’s a lot more thrilling, more in keeping with their personalities. Huo Buyi reckless and daring, Shaoshang feisty.

With the calibre of the cast (particularly Leo Wu and Lu Si), the wonderful directing, cinematography, bgm, and everyone involved in the production, this would have been phenomenal to see.

For me, it’s like in the novel they are mandarin ducks.. in the drama.. they are chickens.

I hope so!! They’ll bring us down next week. They have to bring us back up!!:)

I want him to move heaven to win her back, haha:)

Yes, what can we do? This is their story. But it’s being told in such a way that we can’t help but be affected. Can’t help but feel for them.. .❤️

I do agree with you, but i can’t help feeling bitter for her. Knowing she has to face the aftermath of what he did, and that she already loved him wholeheartedly, he could have been more considerate. I for one believe that true love includes taking care not to hurt the other. He didn’t just hurt her. He devastated her..

That he snapped under pressure makes it easier to accept why he did what he did.. you’re right. After all he’s done for her (and probably what he will do), he deserves the 2nd chance..

I really look forward to how he wins her back and why she decides to give him another chance..

It was hard to watch them at the tower knowing he would shatter her heart and her dreams. .

Still, he gave her up for his revenge..
