Not quite a triangle as such.. But a very mature poignant sort of second "attraction" that borders on "unsure - confused - resolved"..beautiful and maturely handled.. Your heart will hurt a little for both and you'll love both... But OTP is totally unequivocally into each other.. ๐โจ๐
I enjoyed the show because it was able to make it so "real life" even though it is a Wuxia - Xianxia blend.
It's my one of my best Wuxia-Xianxia drama.
Dylan Wang takes off beautiful where CFY let's off.
I wasn't sure about the switch at first - because CFY just slayed the role...but then the second part Dylan slayed it too.
best romance i've seen so far. there was another one but i can't remember what drama it was.. it was so natural…
That's how I LOVE to describe it. It's not just a great drama but a WORK OF ART.
So each of my rewatches have been about focusing and looking for and noticing the stylistic and construction devices that made it so compelling riveting.. The ways the characters were presented (their actions movements expressions interactions and the positioning in the setting and the camera framing) ALL of that was so thoughtful that one could write a whole essay / thesis on it. And after my 4th watch and taking notes I am tempted to write a few.
Who put this ๐ค๐ฝ๐ค๐ฝ๐ค๐ฝ๐ค๐ฝ๐ค๐ฝtogether!!!!
It captures the essence of how he's putty in her hands.
I wish I had the savvy to make such clips...that way we could show all those people who saw him as "toxic" could get evidence of just how "loyal - just - fair" he is in his dealings.
Yes he is sometimes rude impatient in your face aloof doesn't like to interact when he is busy picky about who to hang with etc etc..
But that's a personality thing...and we know many who are like that...
However his generosity and putting himself out there for others and slogging until his body collapses (when his team isn't able to he takes up the lax) his empathy his ability to put himself in danger of losing everything he has built and sweated over.. His honesty with people his ability to trust...those are giantific things which completely wash away the character quirks.. Teeny blips ZY and his buddies see right past๐งก๐๐งก๐๐งก๐
I watched this a year ago.Rewatched twice since then..Discussed it to death..Made friends on MDL for the first…

I remember that for weeks after L&P every other drama tasted bland. Couldn't watch anything else. Spent inordinate amount of time thinking discussing rewatching...and even taking a break from Drama world ๐คฃ๐คฃ

I watched this a year ago. Rewatched twice since then.. Discussed it to death.. Made friends on MDL for the first time.. Because the pressure to experience the thrill of it with fellows was so strong.
L&P watchers have a level of enthrall that is unparalleled. They go for days stuck in its eddy... Some remain forever in its orbit and return to it.
L&P gets MOST flak because a lot of viewers come with preconceived notions of "romance" story... Wanting a plate of PURE fluffy romance and then don't notice just how RICHLY LAYERED and well made the drama is.
It's NOT for those looking for a regular "easy to digest" quick bite fast food romance.
It's deep...intricate and has exquisite craftsmanship. VERY FEW DRAMAS achieve this level of perfection
if only i could refresh my memory and watch this again ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฉ. but the i feel the minimum episodes should've…
What an honest review๐๐๐
Many who disliked it didn't make the distinction between great drama brilliantly made AND great drama but a lot of it went over my head so I dropped it.
I recall dropping MONEYFLOWER because revenge focused plot wasnt my thing BUT it was a BRILLIANTLY made as a drama and highly recommended for those who like it.
Same with GLORY.. And many of the non-romance dramas which shine but not of interest.

And once again I am going to need a while before being able to move away from it.
It's addictive powers continue!!!
I'd say it gets even more potent at each watch.
How is that possible

I think All L&P shippers will love writing...especially those on rewatch mode
Yessss I did.
And I am as thrilled and loving it and noticing even more teeny things.
Especially all the CFY micro expressions - he is the master of those...
Welcome to the L&P Club.
Some of us lurking here a year and 3 watches later get you ๐๐ฅฐ
GENDA?!!
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAGGING ME.

I am in.
Fourth circuit around my TOPMOST modern CDrama.
And believe it or not IT'S matured like fine wine over the one year since my first watch.
It's even more delicious...
โจ๐โจ๐โจ๐๐๐๐โจ๐โจ๐โจ
Took a few licks and am.grabbed hook line and sinker
I hope it keeps the promise held out in the first scenes.
The director has a style and the script is already animated by an intense light and energy
Plus these are good actors. Very good actors.
Later then.
I remember that for weeks after L&P every other drama tasted bland.
Couldn't watch anything else.
Spent inordinate amount of time thinking discussing rewatching...and even taking a break from Drama world ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Before we could re-engage and move on.
And squee with those who have fallen forever for YuYi and this drama team
Rewatched twice since then..
Discussed it to death..
Made friends on MDL for the first time..
Because the pressure to experience the thrill of it with fellows was so strong.

They go for days stuck in its eddy...
Some remain forever in its orbit and return to it.
As I plan to soon.
