Watching Amidst a snowstorm of Love made me miss this series & so I found myself rewatching this again. The ML…
Hey Hi,
I just started my rewatch of Road Home.
It's interesting to note just how many people who are enjoying AaSoL / plan to watch AaSoL / have heard of AaSoL are here watching or plan to watch rewatch RH.
π π
Because I am in that category too.
Somehow landed up with a rewatch if RH.
Am storing up AaSoL for a good binge some free weekend because I am π―π― sure Wu Lei chooses his dramas with lots of care and he blows you off your feet with his talent each time.
You can try watching his film Upcoming Summer also at some point of time.
I also hope to see the talented Mr Jing Bo Ran in a solid new role.
The chemistry in AASOL is different. Both leads in AASOL make it so real. I loved Jing Boran in Road Home and…
Hi Twinty.. There you are.. We haven't met on this drama thread before π€£ππ€£
Such a pleasant shiver of joy to see you warmly praise this drama and Jing Bo Ran.
It's a drama right up my alley. I watched it last year Aug I think.
I just wanted to return and relish by rewatching something of quality since the many new dramas I had on PTW list ended up being dropped by me..like I tasted half a dozen in the last two weeks... All in the bin. π«£
Then I decided to watch Ep 1 of Road Home to see if it was a momentary weakness in the early days of my Cdrama life or it still holds up as one of my TOP dramas of all time π
And now I have been pulled into a rewatch.
Magical!!!!
Worth a rewatch I realize.
So here I am.
P.S. I did watch a small gem of a show that I am π―π―certain you'll enjoy "Fake it Till you Make it".
I've watched tons of dramas but it's the first time I watch leads that have such amazing chemistry. Although the…
Ditto - it's a slice of life portrayal of a relationship in micro-detail.
It's a show for older audiences with enough life and love experience and ups and downs to be able to notice all the layers the drama team created for the show.
For a few reasons : ~ It's cuts to the bone (in its realness). And I have to make a mood for it I realized.
~ the actress who plays the FL role comes across as "ditzy" and infantile, which was not the case in the KDrama, almost like she has some developmental issues (maybe I got it all wrong).
The KDrama actress personality and acting (and interpretation) was organic..
But I also know that since it's a "mood" issue..once I go back to watch it maybe the FL character will make more sense or I'll get used to it as the way the show wanted to present her.
as draggy as my hoodie pants.. seriously we have only plot that is grinded so much that becomes paste, then dries…
Thanks @Divine Soul For those who haven't watched the best in Xianxia ππ This drama might seem fun and exciting.
But veterans will say : The leads are very "baby-ish" Typical low grade acting that pervades most CDrama fantasy shows Low budget production. No spend on OST
It had a high potential storyline but did not deliver on quality of dialogue or layering of meaning beyond the flat, 2D level
There was no thoughtful camera work or editing..
Anyway it's been a draw for sure with an 8.5 and the above is just my own thoughts. I'd give it a 4.0...but the story sounds so exciting that I'll add 2 more. So it's a 6.0.. But can't bear to sink any more time into it ππ«£
I guess at just 14 episodes it's being bypassed plus not sure many people know these leads. That could be another reason. But each Ep is 1 hour long. So if you mag it 40 min eps it would be 21 eps
However I agree with the comments here π―π―π―
They have one of the hottest sexiest chemistry of OTP ever - which had a natural arc and very believable "skinship" once they become a couple.. Even the teasing on the way to becoming a couple.
If you go in to the drama not very keen from the beginning then I have a feeling you might not enjoy itItβs…
Nicely put @Namitha PV
If you @ IcEstonE are coming from @AvenueX mindset...you might as well tread clear of this sparkling vivid show. Her venom only kills a show ridicules her viewers . Even though she watched only 2 eps she goes on a rant.
Heart Pounding OST .. special the one that plays when the chariots are racing across the sky in then final episode!!!
π I didn't know this FACT. πππππππ
It's of even more significance to me because AJTL isone of my favourite Wuxia shows. And Liu Yu Ning is a discovery - cheering for him getting equally meaty roles.

More soon.
Probably the ONE rare and ONLY Xianxia that RULES the roost
I gave it a 2 for acting and a 7 for the potential of the story

And the actors!!!!
I can't get over the OST..
ON EP 5.
Each is an hour long - a break from usual 40 min CDRAMA format.
So talented.
Unforgettable in LLTG and Hidden Love
The Jewelry one?
I can't wait to go on a Drama trip with him in the lead.
He got SO much flak..
I hope he rises high on his talent and diligence and optimistic views on life.
Lovely man.
True.
Pity those who missed the tongue in cheek humour..
The witty banter between them - so low key and grin worthy.

I was able to get swept off by AJTL .. A Journey to Love ..
BUT TTEOTM still hold the Throne and Crown ;-p
What great vibes this Drama started with - loving it.
Some scenes have cinema quality lighting π₯°
The actors are so well "suited " (pun intended).
Will return with feedback ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½
Please don't collapse dear Drama.
