Haven’t watched it myself but here are the summary of the media campaign around the time it was airing:1 - ML…
:-D
Love your long posts .. it generates more comments ..
I am ALSO a HUGE HUGE fan of Kim Tae Ri .. and I hope one day she gets to play a HOT role in a period drama .. I SO dearly wished that the FL in MJTY (My Journey to You) had Kim Tae Ri opposite ZLH .. ROFL .. ooops that would mean Kdrama Agency Coordinate with CDrama Agency.
Ive seen her in 21-25 and in Mr Sunshine .. She would slay the role in MJTY.
The current FL casting is not cutting it for me .. Too "lippy" and cant see the knife sharp glint in her eyes / face
Agree with what you said, however, “he won’t take steps to harm XW” - isn’t this because JXN asked him…
Yes. Correct. But I think he'd not have harmed even so. He had already developed feelz (and as you know .. the love starts to bring on blindness .. the blindfolded lady justice begins to peek from under her eye cover and tilt the weighing balance ;-p )
Middle of EP 22 and I am starting to hate FL for her infatuation with ZZ. She's too sweet with the wrong person.…
LOL .. ZLH loyalty burning up .. Briefly I started getting that feel .. BUT adjusted my lens (and kept adjusting as it kept slipping off). Her memory of ZLH in past life is too deadly and traumatic .. I mean she slit her own throat, he was THAT frightening ... while her memory of ZZ is "that drop-dead handsome dude made my heart melt and squee the way I never ever felt before .. so NOW I have to get those feelz back and make it up to him, thus pursue him honest and straight and MARRY him om this round"
The FL was kinda passive for the final episodes, which makes sense cuz it got more political then but still...…
I also felt that way - in fact her role diminished HUGELY toward the third segment of the show .. I was like .. oh where is she?
Also her attraction to XW wasn't built up with much attention and care .. So at one point one had to squint to overlook the jaggedness in the move from "I fear him and dislike him" to "he makes my knees jelly-fy"
I have watched LLTG, TTEOTM, SOKP and LYF. If you loved LLTG, TTEOTM and SOKP, one thing you should probably be…
Ah right .. got it.
Hmm it's half hearted and pesky when scriptwriters seem to have wavered on which way path in the fork to take .. seems like it wasn't decided at the start by the writer at the outset ;-p
I am definitely going to check it out.
At the moment I have jumped into MJTY (My Journey to You) - you guessed it .. Am on a ZLH ride .. He is simply WOW .. and new to Drama at that .. His first Drama was in 2020.

Aah!
GOT IT.
So glad you mentioned this .. Usually on MDL the way the Cast/Crew is listed (especially in dramas with some romance angle) .. the two who end up together (dead or alive ;-p ) are next to each other .. Unless its an ensemble / many couples etc situation ..
So this MDL entry would have pretty much misled me .. UNLESS the script was developed in a 'giveaway' fashion .. you figure out (from clues / screen time / nature of interaction) who the drama is knitting together ..
The scriptwriters are skilled at building the "winner shipping allegiance" in the plotting :-D That really leaves me in a 'deeply dissatisfied place' especially if the SML or TML comes off steeply complex and FAR more interesting than the 'sweetie goodie' type .. Unless he is matched with a steeply complex, dark, twisty FL (not a shriek role, with a nutty temperament but high intelligence one).
The two times that I was left in the lurch by Drama were:
- Love Alarm (the SML was JUST not STRONG enough to tilt the table and the ML was too powerful in his portrayal) .. havent figured out if it was a script failure or acting / casting failure .. I am tending towards the latter because I could think of Actors who would have pulled it off with aplomb.
- Coffee House (2010) Park Shi Yeon the FL was cast with Kang Ji Hwan as ML .. and I was aligned towards the other FL (not just because of the way the story was unfolding but also, like I said, the listing order of Cast and Crew for the Drama on MDL
- Age of Innocence (2002) I was so smitten with Go Soo that I was on a Go Soo Drama binge .. and just assumed he was the 'winning ML' OBOY .. was I left in the lurch - I HAVE WAS HEARTBROKEN SO SO SO bad!!!! That in my head I wrote my own ending ROFL .. the previous two had left me 'pissed off'
AGE OF INNOCENCE was a BRILLIANT script and show though .. and opens up a space for extended conversations of WHY the FL chose who she chose. Go Soo is deadly deadly talented (as is the other ML in the role he plays) .. and hats off to the scriptwriter for creating that 'splash of sudden freezing water' ending .. which even as it hurts and irritates and angers .. also leaves you with a hot rush when you dry off and wrap up in a towel.
- What Happened in Bali .. that was the BEST is creating DEEP angst at the end .. the painful but successful angst .. and again open for extended conversations of WHY FL said what she said in the end .. where did each of their feelings lie .. or was it all too twisted up and entangled in conflicting emotions. (I watched it in my earliest days of initiation to Kdrama and wasn't aware of MDL. I just looked it up and saw that the Cast and Crew listing had the giveaway order ;-p In a way I am glad I hadn't known it ;-p in this case.
SO final decision to watch or not .. what I will do is test it out for a few eps, If the script and drama and characters are STRONG .. I'll stick it out and see if it's working for me.
Cant thank you enough for getting what I was looking for when I put forward the query.
x0x0 Sorry for the HUGE write in (insert : palm-on-face monkey EMO)
I am not sure which one is SN, I personally didn't finish L&R either.You can't really compare this to TTEOTM though…
LOL .. got it. Thanks ..
Sorry I meant TSL (not SN .. my bad)
I did LAUGH .. watched a few eps .. Have shelved it for a day when I just want to vegetate and think nothing and eat chips :-D
I AM too close to SOKP .. withdrawal symptoms And last night I found JTY (Journey to You) .. I think Zhang LingHe has me "by the throat" - LITERALLY - ROFL

I agree with it
I watched on Dramacool - so I could only view on laptop when actually it needed to be on my big@$$ TV screen - the camerawork is sooo good

Sorry for the HUGE write in (insert : palm-on-face monkey EMO)
- TTEOTM (Till the End of the Moon)
- LLTG (Love Like the Galaxy)
- L&P (Lighter and Princess)
They all have off the beaten path stories / characters / leads and stellar photography to boot.
Great scripts with super plots and structure.
Thanks ..
