The people you're talking about should feel honored by the honor of being noticed by a true fan, just... Why does someone who considers himself a true fan forget the three views? If I remember correctly it was something like: "there's my point of view, there's your point of view and there's the point of view of the person standing on the sidelines." It is truly intriguing that in a drama topic, instead of focusing on the drama, someone has enough time to talk ugly about others.
Maybe the person you are talking about is actually not a fan in your sense of being a fan? Maybe he likes the actor, but he doesn't like uncritical, bordering on fanaticism worship, because after all, the actor is just a man, not a god, so he's not perfect. And that person has just as much right to speak ill of a drama he hasn't seen as you have the right to speak well of a drama you haven't seen.
Or maybe this person is being paid a very large amount of money for every word written? Too bad we'll never know :)

Thank you for your good intentions. I appreciate someone standing up for me. It's not worth bothering with such accusations. I've heard too many of them since March 2020, all unfounded, like this one. I appreciate your gesture very much no less.
I've known about XZ since the fall of 2018, from FBS, but I've been more interested since July 2019. That's actually a long time. But apparently if someone isn't a fanatic, they can't be called a fan so, well, clearly I'm not a fan.

Don't you think your comment falls into the group of public slander? I have no idea what you're accusing me of, but you're doing it publicly, and you're doing it without evidence.

I went to your account and its activity makes one doubt your intentions except one - you want to slander me, or maybe provoke me. Anyone can compare our accounts, our activity and our comments and draw their own conclusions.

By the way, it's nice that you consider me such a big threat to defame me in public. The question is, what are you afraid of? But you know what, you don't have to answer. I'm not interested in that. Have fun hating MDL users.

PS. A real fan would never act as dishonorably as you. If you have any objections to me, you should have resolved them privately. Your hand would not wither by writing me a PM. And as far as I can remember, I have never spoken to you.

Thank you :)

The legal profession is very competent. It is very difficult to get into a large law firm. Many really capable attorneys do not have connections so there is no chance for such a job. He had no problem with FL being hired, but I understand his problem with FL not coming to work. This is a violation of discipline and any normal lawyer should be punished. If she is not punished, it will leave a signal to others that she gets special treatment. And that is simply not fair. If he just didn't come to work like this, he would be disciplined, and she won't suffer any punishment.
It is this kind of biased behavior by bosses that causes a rift in the workplace. Other employees begin to think that in the eyes of the boss they are not good enough in relation to this privileged person. This is a good starting point to show some problems and hostility in the workplace - to build a conflict for FL to overcome.

I wasn't here for a few days and saw that a certain discussion had heated up, probably because of me. I think someone may have even misunderstood me. Sorry about that. Let me clarify.

I am not a fan of either TLP or LLtG. I will probably laugh at both and bite my tongue to avoid criticizing them heavily. I don't favor either drama. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. I'm watching LLtG and will be watching TLP. But that's not my point. My point is that from a marketing point of view, if a company has a bestseller, it tries to make the most money from it. If it has a weak production, it wants to erase the bad impression. I don't wish LLtG bad. I watch and have a great time, although for different reasons than most. I think there is room in the market for both dramas. All I meant was that people waiting for TLP should be aware that the release date of this drama is not etched in stone.

TLP's popularity will be huge regardless of whether it premieres in the summer or any other time of the year. We all know that. But the platform is not one drama, but dozens of productions. Tencent, like any other company, wants to make money. It's not just Zhan Zhan that brings them money, so their other productions also deserve proper respect, recognition and promotion. I personally prefer to watch the second season of LLtG instead of TLP, because I don't like to interrupt the story I'm following. If TLP was in LLtG's place I would say that I don't want to interrupt TLP....

Please, let's respect each other. I really just wanted us to look at the release date from an econmic point of view, not from the point of view of a pining fan. I'm not talking about Three Body drama because it belongs dfo a different genre and targets a different group of viewers, so it's not a direct competition. TLP and LLtG are rivals, but like two runners from the same national team competing for an Olympic medal. We may root for one more, but we won't wish the other to break his leg while running. We just want to watch a beautiful competition in which our favorite will win fairly.

I rather prefer realistic, dark stories, so for me LLtG is charming and fluffy. Those romantic scenes when he saves her life, when she pulls the arrow out of his wound with such concentration and he looks at her so romantically.... I really couldn't stop laughing, how from a potentially decent drama the production to satisfy the romance-hungry hearts of young girls turn a scene where you can really show the drama and fear and horror of the situation into a sweet and romantic "don't be afraid, I'm with you" and "from your hands I will endure any pain, I trust you."
And yes, ML is exceptionally funny and charming with his facial expression as if his mouth was filled with pins the whole time, with his arrogance and with the fact that his every entrance is shown as if Superman just appeared saving Loice Lane who is in distress.
I'm sorry if I offended your feelings, but when I expect the stench of war and get scenes dripping with romance, I can either cry from disappointment or laugh. I choose to laugh.

I am not satisfied with this drama. I think I'm tired of k-dramas about a bad cult. This drama gave me two impressions - boredom and distaste.

No worries, I haven't read the book but I have read a lot of spoilers.

I think screenwriters in China have a lot of problem with the requirements of the central bureau of radio and television and the image of the actor. China is very careful not to set bad examples for children to follow and Xiao Zhan is a white idol so I think he can't play anyone really evil or cruel. It's sad for Xiao Zhan because it limits him acting, but I understand that the state doesn't want children to grow up believing that it's good to commit genocide because Xiao Zhan murdered an entire tribe. So either this scene will be left out altogether, or SY will back out, or he will do it on some terrible impulse and regret it for the rest of his life. In my opinion, this thread will be completely omitted.

Fans of the book may not like SY's softened tone, but violent media create violent societies. Aggression in the media translates into aggression in real life. The state has to take care of educating the youth, and maybe that's why there are no school shootings in China.

ML is incredibly funny and adorable. If it weren't for him I would stop watching this drama, but every time I see scenes with him I burst out laughing.
But FL's war heroism is.... oh boy, really this drama has turned into a situational comedy.
I'm up to date and my rating of this drama keeps dropping, although ML and FL finally have cool interactions. But this is still less than 1% of the total plot.
The script just absolutely missed my taste. But at least ML is funny.

With all due respect, and I really respect you, I have no intention of putting myself in the shoes of a 15-year-old heroine of a fictional story. I'm not looking for a reflection of myself in the drama (although I can go with the competition of whose mother "didn't love" her child more) I just want to have a fun time as a viewer.
I'm up to date with the drama and while I laughed and had an awesome time, my rating has dropped again. The script just got embarrassingly girly.

I think it was in the second episode when ML praised her patriotism in front of her parents, and she recognized that he rebuked her as not a filial. A little later, she assumed that her mother didn't love her because she didn't take her side when she faked illness. I don't deny her intelligence. It's just that at this stage she lacks knowledge and experience, exactly what I think every child lacks, so her assumptions are incorrect, and she immediately set herself up as a victim. She could have done it out of habit, but that's what she did. "My mother doesn't love me because my mother didn't yell at my aunt for being bad to me," she said. On top of that, she is unable to understand her mother's intentions and does not try to understand why her mother treats her the way she does. She can't yet see the situation from someone else's perspective and this is typical of children. Has she even once tried to please her mother, or is she just continuing her assumption that her mother doesn't love her, so she must rebel against her?
But, of course, these are just my conclusions about FL's behavior and current stage of character development.

Since TLP will be exclusively on Tencent, I believe the release date will depend on the popularity of Love Like the Galaxy. If LLtG becomes very popular, Tencent could put TLP on hold and play the drama at a different time. If the LLtG falls short of Tencent's financial expectations, the TLP could be released quite quickly to cover losses and stand a chance for Tencent to win the race for the most popular drama of the summer. I think so.
LLtG is less than 48 hours after its release, so I haven't seen the reports yet. But they'll start coming out soon.

I wouldn't count on it. Judging by the trailers, we will be dealing with just such a girl. Hurry, reckless, unreasonable and childish. She'll probably change a bit after the first or fifth tragedy, but you won't make a phoenix from a chicken, although in some dramas they turn phoenixes into chickens. By the way, I wonder what the phoenix broth tastes like :)

She is an immature child. She acts and thinks exactly like a fifteen-year-old. No, she acts rather like a thirteen-year-old girl, because fifteen-year-olds have more interest in male and female matters. A 13-year-old cries that her mother does not love her, a 15-year-old runs away from home and moves in with her boyfriend. This is not a spoiled brat, but just a child who thinks like a child. She will probably grow up over time, which does not change the fact that we got six episodes of a family drama with a child on the intellectual and emotional level of a thirteen-year-old as FL. And this is, in my opinion, two or three episodes too many.

For me, everything was already explained in the second episode. Everything else is nicely shot, but unnecessary adding episodes without adding actual content relevant to the main storyline.

The example given by you and this drama are, in my opinion, two extremes. Two or three episodes of the introduction and we're going with the main action. Otherwise, many viewers will just get bored and seriously consider whether it is worth watching further. I am still watching, but I know people who have already dropped this drama.

I'm glad my comment was useful. To tell the truth, it's hard for me to respond to this drama. Leo hasn't had any scenes so far where he can show if he can act, but many comments say that the story is just now going to start to take off. Personally, I wouldn't mind if it started to do so three episodes earlier. Lucy is surprisingly good and believable as the teenage FL. She's had a variety of roles, but this one, so far, may give her a Best Actress award, so her acting is worth watching. She actually positively surprised me from the very first scene. I even like her character, I understand, I just don't care about her fate at all, because the screenwriter hasn't given me anything to grasp the story yet.

Contrary to what several people assumed in their comments, I didn't quit this drama. The visuals are really excellent and there were some clever and some interesting, really well shot scenes. My current rating is 4.5, down from the initial 7.5 due to the fact that I still don't have the main storyline because I don't accept the main character's rise as the main storyline. This drama was not advertised as "coming of age" but as a collaboration between a smart young woman and a prince with state problems.

So I'm waiting, still patiently. But if up to and including episode 8 I don't have an established relationship between FL and ML I'll either cry, curse or just say "Tencent can't shoot dramas and proves it with every new release." But I'm really hoping for the next two episodes, because visually this is one of the best dramas in recent years and it would be a shame to drop it due to lack of relationship between FL and ML.

Thank you. I hope you are right about "nobody".

This drama is so idiotic that it has completely dismantled my defenses and I'm having a great time.

This drama got off to a great start. Excellent intro of both characters and the world presented. A real pleasure for the eye and very interesting situations, and then....

Then ML almost completely disappeared from the plot and the drama began to revolve around family matters. Without giving previews - everything started to get long and the viewer learns a lot of information, without which he could easily watch this drama. The grandmother is played superbly, but she is not FL to have so much screen time. All the aunts, uncles - does it really take as many as six episodes to say that the girl feels unloved at home? I feel like the first episodes have already been filled with water.

Plus, something didn't sit right with me about this drama and I didn't know what, but I do now. The age of FL is not suited to the style of the drama. She is 15 years old and actually acts like a child (Luci played brilliantly, I applaud her here), but FL comes under teen, at most YA, like all the characters, meanwhile we have a very mature cinematography that appeals more to a more mature viewer. So as a mature viewer, I like how the world is depicted, but I'm not interested in the adventures and dilemmas of a 15-year-old girl. A younger viewer may not be interested in the fact that there were close-ups of an ox's head. On top of that, all those stories of uncles and aunts are boring for a viewer from the FL generation. Or is this a family drama?

I don't know how the music and copyright laws are in China. It seems to me that the same music (not a pre-existing song just music composed for the drama) can be used in another drama, but it bothers me personally. The leitmotiv should never be in another drama, because when I heard it here, I immediately had scenes from the early 2021 drama in front of my eyes, and it was not only distracting but also annoying.

Overall for me the drama is beautifully shot, but I lost interest very quickly. Too much secondary story at the expense of the foreground. I feel more and more disconnected with FL and ML, and I don't know if it's too late to keep me interested in their fates.

I respect everyone who loves this drama. I just wanted to show that not everyone who rates this drama lower than a 9 is a hater. This drama is watched not only by fans, but also by passersby, and I consider myself to be one. I think I gave fairly accurate information, which lowers my rating for this drama.

FL is great! Xu Di is simply excellent! This is simply her role! It's been a long time since I've seen FL played as well and with such an excellent temperament. Yes, she is a bit old, after all she is a grandmother, but these four episodes belonged to her. However, I didn't notice the presence of ML. Apparently he was supposed to be played by Leo Wu, but 2-4 minutes per episode is a bit short for ML, so ML will probably be Ms. Cheng's son, Mr. Cheng.
