Watching for the second time and I was reminded of how it makes no sense that Mo Mo was obsessed with Fu Pei. I find him supremely unattractive. He looks like an uncle who sells fish.

She’s annoying but I think that sister - whose name I’m not going to bother learning - is infinitely worse. She’s just randomly malicious

Clearly a sturdy good quality flame resistant bunny lantern and I want one even more.

Huai Jin is one of the sweetest male leads I have seen in a long time. Rather than slashing his way through enemies to save her, he stayed up for weeks making a star chart and magnifying observation lens or whatever. Just as romantic, and I kinda want a bunny lantern now.

Episode 8 was the most heartwarming episode of television I’ve seen since Ted Lasso. They were like the Avengers, with more love, and I’m not embarrassed to say I teared up.

This was one of my first C dramas and now on rewatching it, i don’t know if I’m just older and/or bitchier but Erxi is a really really terrible friend. Selfish and self centered and a moocher. I mean Wei Wei is a bit of an asexual martyr but I found Erxi really annoying. In case anyone needs to hear this - quality trumps quantity when it comes to friendships!

Most satisfying ending since Story of Kunning Palace, which incidentally also included rebirth, a redo, and twins!

They both have a rebirth/redo plot. Story of Kunning Palace is fantastic.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been so captivated by a drama. Most dramas I’ll end up fast forwarding slower scenes or dull characters but with this one I watched every minute. I’m obsessed with the main couple - I appreciate that they kiss like they mean it (why is this so rare in Asian dramas?!) Xi Wei and Jiang Xuening remind me of that line that Catherine says about Heathcliffe in Wuthering Heights - “Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same”.

haha I've only been watching Asian dramas for a couple of years but this one seems especially bad for seriously annoying female characters! I watched Here We Meet Again , When I Fly Towards You, Lighter and Princess and Till the End of the Moon before this one, and I found they weren't nearly as bad for forced cutesiness and terrible mothers? Well Lighter and Princess's mother was pretty bad actually....never mind. :)

No, the ML has had multiple past girlfriends and the main couple didn’t know each other as children.

Ohhh right! Thanks! I won’t be watching it then 😛 there’s no way they can improve on the original

Gives me Some Day or One Day vibes…only not good 😂

Yeah, she’s really not pretty enough to be such a bitch

Also, I can’t remember the last time I saw a drama with so many hateful female characters. And Anni looks way too old to be acting so cutesy

Absolutely, but in most TV shows no matter what the country they tend not to go that route, just like they tend not to show, say, kids being killed. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an abortion in a serialized drama.

On episode 7 and it was a bold choice to have her go through with an abortion. I thought she’d have a miscarriage like they do in most American TV shows.

Ok, so it’s not a great drama, and Kyung Pyo’s looks aren’t really my cup of tea but he has got to be one of the mostly sweetly written male leads I’ve seen in any drama.

I mean the villains are annoying but they don’t get that much screen time considering the number of episodes, and yeah feng jun is an annoying villain but he doesn’t have a ton of scenes. One of the irritating mean girls from the beginning does a sudden unearned turn around towards the end. The writing isn’t the greatest but worth watching for the main couple :)

I was so confused, I thought they had set their wedding date for May 30 (according to the subs he was all, when is a good time to get married? I want it to be formal. Or something) and she was counting down to that date and then…they didn’t seem to be engaged at all?!!
