;-pI hear you and agree with you .. I had SO MUCH beef with the ending .. BUT I was SO mesmerised by the story…
Was SO happy to see that you watched it though.
Honestly I'll admit here that this Scent of Time AND SOKP (Story of Running Palace) DAMAGED me too much .. I couldn't get a kick out of TPR (The Princess Royal).
Next to these two it felt weak and structureless - watery; inspite of have ZLH. Jin Mai started off well but became more and more flat and uninteresting ..
Zhou Ye and Bai Lou hit their roles out of the park
I hear you and agree with you .. I had SO MUCH beef with the ending ..
BUT I was SO mesmerised by the story and the characters (OST was top notch) and the slow burn (on the side burner romance) and JUST the ENTIRE concept behind the structure ..
Blew me away ..
I actually ended up rewatching it twice more ;-p With greater attention to all the dynamics of power - relationships - romance - lies - deceptions - trickery etc.
Loved it more each time :-D
BUT YESSS what you said - why not take the ending in your hands and give it that ONE BANG which would make me give it a 11/10 ;-p
I didnt know it's changed a lot from the novel. Truly a shame. It felt like they ran out of Film / storage - forgot to shoot the end and the actors had all moved on ... basically some production disaster struck and they left it hanging that way.
I forced my mind to call it a 'poetic licence end'
9/10. Would have been 10/10, but Chinese drama makers don't know how to stick the ending. In one case the sad…
💯💯💯true!!!
This nonsense ending was irritating for me in Scent of Time too. I mean I loved it so so so much that I decided to take it as it was.. Even though I was left beggared
I am weeping more - my heart is cracking up - my throat is choked.
💖🫶🏼💖
Let's keep chatting while you watch.
It will be like a revisit for me through your eyes
It's tough is shows with loads of characters set in period drama
I always rewatch if I gave it anything above 9/10..
Me too.
Quite a neglected classic.
And to think that CFY was ONLY 18 y.o. And delivered such a bang!!!!!!
Giggles and squee and laugh aloud... And heartbreak too.
What a unique OTP.. Unparalleled story acting execution
Yay 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I am kind of betting on you enjoying it WAY more than this pallid - bloodless version.
It was such a blast from the moment superman like he dives from a highrise into a swimming pool to save FL.
It was a riot!!!
I watched simply because Han Ji Min and Hyun Bin are such stellar actors.. They can feed you any script and raise it to delish level.
I remember back then doing a rewatch.. It was that satisfying.
They also managed this heartbreaking angst moment at the end and a wonderful finish too.
If you haven't watched it, you could check it out.
But I guess you'd have to be a die hard Hyun Bin fan.. He is 💯💯💯quite an actor.
As is Han Ji Min
They literally carried the entire show in their shoulders...I LOVED piggy backing on them 💕💕💕
This was such a poor cousin of that drama - unwatchable 🥸🥸🥸

I hope he chooses more such mature SOLID dramas .. his talent is incredible
I can't agree more LOL
You spoke my heart!!!
I became an LYX fan after TTEOTM.
Already watched thrice and I am HAPPY to go back again.
It's one of those addictive dramas for me which will stay as my repeat watch for always probably.
