Looks like the LTL discussion thread was a minefield for you to step into - a sweeping majority dissed the FL.

I felt HUGELY validated by the viewer comments here.

It felt great responding to many of them - doubt they felt spammed 😂🤣

Chill pill would help when wading into threads where majority is booing 😜 some Drama that you dearly enjoyed.

If you aren't a newbie you'd by now know that Drama world evokes spectrum of responses on the dislike - like scale

you are right .. and the final union all the sweeter.

BTW I am on a rewatch - reached Ep 16 ;-p

I am looking out keenly for the first signs of when ZLH starts to "leak" .. such that his closest people begin to notice ..
Also looking out for how BL's interactions with ZLH evolves ..

yipppeee!! One of my TOP dramas this year

- Lighter and Princess
- TTEOTM
- LLTG
- SOKP

The above is not according to any order of preference .. they each excelled in their own unique way and each is SO different in flavour .. except that ALL the Leads are 'flawed and bit dark and twisted'

true

absolutely well deserved!!

And while on that note .. having now watched Dylan Wang pull of Only for Love I went to check out what else he did and realised that the Chinese version of BOF is Meteor Garden ..
He did such a great "nutty / mental" role .. his 'devilish' glowering was so believable I remember thinking he'd be SO GODDAMNED GOOD in a 'bad a$$' role .. Ala LYX in TTEOTM .. Dylan has those same devilish eyebrows and 'pineapple' head of hair do ROFL ..

I was rewarded I think .. have watchlisted UNCHAINED LOVE .. Dylan Wang doesn't sound like a "good Eunuch" in this period drama.

I had a taste .. looks yummy.

But back to SOKP for my second helping (rewatch) before I go try out UL

Tell me about it!!!

ROFL!!

Who would crib about some more Bai Lu and ZLH snuggling and snarling

Bai Lu can make a straight woman's heart squee

;-D

I hear you ..

Do put a spoiler tag for future TTEOTM viewers who might peek here
;-p

I too love the nutty angsty antihero (long ago I fell in love with Song Joon Ki in Innocent Man - what a convoluted mind ;-p )

LOL .. Happy to help .. always pushing my fave dramas and actors
xoxo

many of us had a similar journey of discovery ;-p

Hidden Love (Zhao Lusi) -> LLTG ( Leo Wu) -> TTEOTM (because so many LLTG viewers pointed to it and Luo Yun Xi and Bai Lu ) -> SOKP (Bai Lu & Zhang Ling He) > Love is Sweet ( LYX & BL ) -> Only for Love (Dylan Wang & BL)

:-D

rofl

thank god it was shot separately LOL
It's the dessert after the rough ride .. especially to cheer up those who may have felt sunk in the dark ..

Some of us would be fine being left in the 85% dark chocolate finish though ;-p

wouldn't it be a total heart wrecking experience? OUCH!!

ROFL

I took a detour watched a few other shows and AM BACK.
Inspite of the memory being intact .. I AM LOVING the journey .. relishing it slow and steady .. picking up in greater detail everything that I missed the first round.

Watching the Lead's faces more intently .. and looking out for that fleeting first moment when the 'feelings shift'

LOL .. Well put.

I found the SMLs (of the reverse harem) very well characterised and superbly portrayed by the actors ..

Annoying? I think that would be a personal response from viewers ..
IML (In My Lens) they were VERY interesting and acted as a foil for aspects of the FL's character which brought into focus her complex and layered mind and heart.

I love characterisations where two opposing thoughts and feelings can pop up and co exist and create serious tension for the audience and the character.

LOL .. you are our SOKP Lovers Club member already then.

Most of us are in BECAUSE of the Bad A$$ characters .. But it's all truly "sweet chilli" in the end ;-p

super answers .. Agree with all ;-p

Always carry a pen to sign off a "Drama Licence" .. or else every show will collapse like a house of cards ;-p

Noooooooooooo!! DO NOT QUIT!!

WAIT!!!

That poor gal is trapped in her deep seated horror of the memory of slitting her own throat with ZLH piercing her with his sword like stare .. She also has the memory from that cave and what he did and what happened ..

That poor gal is trapped in the old echoes of deep attraction and longing and guilt form her past memory .. so she is besotted with Zhang She. Zhang Zhe is GOD HANDSOME with his perfectly symmetrical features and upright moral core which draws her from every which way.

It's the way a divinely handsome monk-like person makes one's heart quiver because they just seem so unattainable and pure and impossible

OKAY so I had a quick peek ..

Umm .. I think I could safely put a 70% possibility that you'll enjoy it and as the story progresses, at the half way mark get absolutely riveted, even though the plot might feel patchy and deeply confusing at times.

I am basing this on the fact that you scored TTEOTM / LLTG / SHLYE (Smile has Left Your Eyes) quite high.

Which tells me you enjoy complex bad boy / bad gal shows where it's not necessarily a goodie-two-shoes plain romance ..

;-p

If the plot sounds tough .. keep coming here to get clarifications .. you will find a NEST of SOKP adorers who will patiently explain stuff (with spoiler tags)
