LOL LOL

ha ha ha .. that explains the psychedelic nature of this thread ;-p

I am a bit confused.

Is this show already out??

How come it already has an MDL rating?

Anyway fresh off from rewatch of TTEOM .. and a long ongoing affair with L&P (Lighter and Princess) .. I am all AHOY for this pairing.

ROFL It's 91772 on mine

ROFL

😱

Read all my comments that Gao on this issue.. I suspect it's low ratings would have looked North had their relationship been captured more sincerely.

😂🤣😂🤣😂

Soul sista I join you in venting about the ridiculous frigidity with which the supposedly life altering, death teasing epic scale "love" was portrayed without an iota of blood and flesh and breath.. Not once ion of electricity escaped from the FL.

😂🤣😂

True.

It had a magnetism and a freshness to the story and characters that pulled me in - although it got absurd towards the end.

Besides the frigid chemistry between the leads further hurt the believability of the story.
The FL started off brilliantly - but didn't deliver the "falling in love" / romantic aspect of her role at all.

It's like she wrote in her contract that all the intimate scenes will be limited to insignificant pecks!!!
How the heck did the show creators expect to sell a "passionate - hot blooded" relationship story without an iota of skin ship or electricity

Agree!!

🤣🤣😂

I so get your rave..
It kind of made me feel so frustrated and annoyed at the way sledgehammer blows began to crack up a perfectly solid beginning that seemed so promising.

The end episodes began to feel like the scriptwriter and Director decided to drop Meth on the show..s

All the crazy hubby - ex gF - possible child would have required some foreboding hints and buildup...some kneading into the mix very early on in the script.

Felt so pasted on in the end - like a last minute.. Let's use everything we forgot to use earlier..

😅
Story was excellent except towards the end when it began to look loony and random (especially the frigid chemistry between leads made it feel even more random and unconvincing).

And the patriotic stuff was so cheesy

😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣

I 💯 agree with micro replies.

It was my experience also.

How badly this drama needed to have been loaded with passionate chemistry between leads and solid skinship.

I think it would have garnered a 8+ if the relationship had been carved with more throb of life.

😝 do sad ending shows always get low ratings 😅

I agree with you.

Id expect it to have garnered a 8 and some low decimals at the least.
I bet it's Novel version would have been a hotseller.

One reason it may not have taken off like a rocket is the lack of chemistry between leads that needed to be an essential ingredient.. The FL seemed to have put "brakes" on the skinship levels in her contract. She literally shuddered and repulsed most of the spontaneous scenes making it all go frigid.

Yup frigid is how the intimate scenes played out. The camera was on eggshells in most such moments.

Compare that to :
- Secret
- The Smile has Left your Eyes

Not ONE fullblooded electric moment where the screen lights up. A relationship like theirs to work effectively required sincerity.

👆🏽👆🏽I've left a comment right above also on this failing which I think needed to have been essential part of the structure

I was in two minds about starting this show, after I read the low - buzz comments in both the Review segment as well at the discussion thread here.

I had come away with such starry eyes after watching TTEOTM... That I went looking for more of Luo Xi dramas.

I however found the Leads chemistry quite lacking - maybe I was biased after watching the sizzle of Luo Xi and Bai Lu in
"Love is Sweet" - a romcom.. a show that was so souffle and terrific light watch; and then in TTEOTM.

This is a show that needed some serious skinship and electric vibes to bring in the heart ache to dial up the emo and drama that is to come in the second half and the end game. I didn't sense any "fire" at all.

This is a show that didn't work with stopping at lip touching and cheek peck - cummon they are full blooded adults who are swirling into a maelstorm... The second leads had far more convincing chemistry.. It popped like popcorm off the screen.
(Recall the intensity in The Smile has Left your Eyes / Secret)
Deep passionate story lines hurling towards the end once the pace picks up NEED some serious chemistry between leads.

🤣😂
OMG. So true.
I totally FFD their segments.
It's the worst and weakest part of the show.

They could have given more Du Lei parts instead.

Am on Ep 18

Why is she stipid?
