The show is still a whirlpool that can trap me. I couldn't watch ANY other Cdrama after that for a very long time - nothing seemed good enough. I heard many fans echo me : L&P damaged us for good 😜
I enjoy returning to the thread to see what people are saying about it...and hoping it's rating reaches 9/10 one day
You have calmed my soul and done FULL JUSTICE to the drama, the writer, the actors, the Character of Li Xun and or JhuYun.
The number of times I engaged in defending LX AND CFY's glorious talent on the MDL thread is no joke!!!
I must have written the maxm number of comments on this ONE CDRAMA... It's the One Drama that Rules them All 😂
Have Rewatched thrice.
Have rooted for CFY.. He's truly ONE to watch out for.
Hope he stays focused.. Being the son of illustrious parents can't be easy. Chen Kaige was / is one of my fave Chinese directors.
His mom is a famous actress also.
P.S. I went and watched EverNight afterwards.. He was JUST 18... I LOVED the drama. My intro to Wuxia - Xanxia elements...it was not a straightforward Drama in the genre.. Had unusual elements but that is for another day.
I've also watched his film.. 😍🤌🏽
The only person I watched in a film that held that sort of promise was Wu Lei in Upcoming Summer.
Having expectations is normal. What is unreasonable is when the expectations are not logical. As another viewer…
I KNOW!!!
This was precisely entertaining BECAUSE it was playing with 2 HIGH functioning career focused people with dreadful 'relationship skills and notions'
Both of them have absolutely no idea of WHAT a real relationship is all about .. nor do they recognise what it is to 'fall in love', they stumbled along in all kinds of misdirected yearnings falling flat on their face.
This drama is about imperfect individuals who grow up with their relationships. I repeat, the characters are imperfect…
Excellent observation about audience wanting to watch their OWN version of what a drama should have been rather than what was made by the drama writer and team and attempt to understand that.
I LOVE that you brought in the "GWTW" analogy .. I did exactly that in one of the comments I left in defence of the Drama's Excellence
I was not questioning your taste or why you disliked OFL the drama .. I was curious about why the sharp difference between OFL the Drama which you rated a 5.5, vis a vis the OFL : Special which you rated a 9.0
I did check out your review .. it didn't mention the extension Special Episode or your rating of it.
P.S. You don't have to explain .. it was just a passing curiosity :-)
Worst SLS I’ve ever suffered! I loved Are You Human Too as well. When the Weather is Fine is one of my all time…
The first time I watched CIMT .. I dropped it after skimming and realising he's NOT the guy (tears streaming down face) .. in those early days of my drama life I hadn't yet picked up on concept of SL and ML .. and foolishly followed my heart ..
Much much later I decided to go and rewatch it to get the real story.
HE was SO SO HOT!!!! Will never forget that black ear stud!!! and when he plays the piano!! OMYGAWD!!!
The other time an SL wrecked havoc was Kim Woo Bin in HEIRS.
OK you lost me.
I haven't watched the Special .. so maybe it has something referenced to that.

So it's not part of the main thread or plot
I hear you
It's one of the best modern setting dramas.
Or maybe THE best.
TTEOTM is the only contender IMO for that special top spot
Continues to be one of my top fave

100% agree with your statement.
Loved your phrase .. Wallow in Stagnation ;-D

You nailed that description of Shi Yan for Shu Yi
Apologies if that came across all wrong.

Only for Love SPECIAL gets a 9/10??
While the show is a 5/10
hee hee hee .. what happened? Was curious to know,
Expecially because I thoroughly relished the quirky show ... which MOST folks bashed up ;-p
Mine too.
Yet so many people just couldn't get into it - and most found it dull 🫢
I have rewatch it and might do so again some day 😍
Top fave When the Weather is Fine
Cheese in my Trap he gave me severe SL SYNDROME
I know!!
I sometimes end up being this way - especially when I vibe with someone.
The other 🤩 moment I had was seeing your 7.5 for WIFTY.
And few others 🫣
