thank you.

You Rock. Thank you.

I have never done this before, but I couldn't take it. At ep. 43, I skipped ahead to the last ep to see what kind of ending it has. I just didn't want to go through another 20 ep just to have a tragic or ambiguous ending. Now that I know what happens, I will go back and watch those 20 or so episodes.

Where can I read the novel this is based on? I need to know if I should be expecting a season 2. ..or if that was really the end.

I don't know if I could see Hans Zhang Han as the bookish Cecil. Vanness Wu could definitely play the role. He is older. He is so rock and roll, though, that I would be worried I would start shipping him, even as Cecil.

No doubt about it. Vanness Wu and Mao Xiaotong were really amazing in this drama. This was my first time watching Vanness Wu in anything. He definitely has charisma. I need to find another drama or movie with him in it to watch. I watched Mao Xiatong in Love 020 and she was really adorable in that. Even though she was the villain in PWY, I still was able to empathize with the character to a degree.

I only started this because someone recommended I watch it as an introduction to Shawn Dou. Wow. I have barely slept the last couple days because I can not stop watching. So much action. I sometimes have a hard time watching "action" because it seems like much of the action is unnecessary stuff thrown in to dress up an otherwise thin plot . This is not that kind of action. Everything that is happening seems to serve to develop characters, relationships, or move the plot. It was a little hard to get through ep. 24 and 25, but in a I need to skip ahead to find out how this comes out, sort of way. I am up to ep. 38, at the moment and still wanting to see what happens next.

I have been Marathoning Princess Agents the last few days. omo. What have you done to me. It is so good, I can't stop watching. Hoping this does not end in tragedy. On Shawn Dou. Oh yes, I like that casting. .... Now for Cecil and Aunt Charlotte. For Cecil, it needs to be someone slender that looks like he has never done a days work in his life. I keep thinking Deng Lun. I know he might be a bit too popular to play the unlikable character but I can imagine him being snobbish and fussy. Can you think of anyone else you like for that part? Charlotte is an interesting character. She seems a bit prudish, at first. Later, I get the impression that in her youth she did not make the safe traditional choices. I don't have anyone in particular in mind for that role yet.

I agree, that is where I think it is going, but I do not ship them. Asian dramas love to have the guy end up with that close friend or first love though.
If he really is going to end up with her, I am guessing that he is actually not aware of his feelings yet. He knows she is precious to him, but probably thinks of her as family.
The reason I do not think he is 'aware' of his feelings:
1 He was excited about taking Nalan Yan Ran as a wife. I don't think he will even consider taking a different wife until he feels that situation is really resolved in that 3 year period.
2 He seemed to genuinely enjoy the 'attention' of the Little Medicine Fairy. - He did explain himself to her, but I think it was more about knowing she would report it to his father.
3 He offered to give her advice to hook up with the guy she likes without any hint of jealousy. -He has asked her if she was jealous before, but I think he means jealous like a friend would be. Jealous that he had a love life but she didn't or jealous that your friend doesn't have as much time to hang out any more...

Even though I don't think there is much chance, I am currently shipping him with the Little Medicine Fairy. That may change as the story moves forward. Little Medicine Fairy is too adorable. I need her to have a love interest. I am currently shipping the little sister with another member of their group. Maybe if one of their group starts getting interested in his little sister, it will spark some jealousy and then I will feel different. Right now I am not feeling the chemistry for that couple.

We have gone full on Star Wars... but our hero is seems way more Anakin than Luke, at the moment.

I have never seen him in anything. I need to check him out. Just based on his profile pic... I say yes. I could see him playing George.

I am not sure if I would rather have a really creative and talented Director do it or just a good director that is dedicated to staying as true to the original work as possible. Let's talk about CASTING. Lucy - Janice Wu. George - Knee jerk reaction is Vin Zhang just because I had serious 2nd lead syndrome for him previously. Tbh, I know he could do passionate George and even muddled George, but I don't know if he could be playful approachable George. Needs more thought.

good to know. I will have to put this on my to read after watching it. where are you reading it?

There is a hint of Harry Potter. He was bullied but now that his talents start emerging, his humbleness, loyalty, and wanting to stand up for others is winning him a mini army of friends. There is a hint of Clash of the Titans with the cheesy giant monsters. I haven't watched everything on your list, but of the ones I have watched, nothing is similar.

will the end be too sad for me to handle?

Not stupid at all... just since this is a love triangle with 2 guys and 1 girl, it might be spoiling the mystery a bit. I also ask for spoilers when they are available. I can not take tragic endings. ... one of the reasons I generally stay away from historical dramas, too.

Ah. Do you really want a spoiler on that? I hope it does not deter you from watching ... the guys do not end up together. There is romance but this is more of story about friends and neighbors taking the place of family and helping each other out.

What is the scene after the credits about? I am guessing the guy that comes in asking for help is a character from another drama? Anyone one know?

I will preface this by saying this show is not depressing at all. It has a very positive view point. ... but if I ever need a good cry, I am going to rewatch this. Even though it is a bit on the corny side, there are some really touching moments that start the tears for me. It is soo sweet.
