It's a very tricky situation. I personally don't love that they got an underage girl and a guy in is early 20's for the roles but to call it pedophilia is ridiculous. I didn't watch My Treasure for a similar reason (that was worse though because the ML was in his late 30's and the girl was a teen) but I wouldn't even call that pedophilia. The age gap personally made me uncomfortable, but they didn't have them do literally any physically romantic scenes. I didn't end up watching it though and I'm probably not going to watch this either just because I have OCD and when my mind gets stuck on something it's hard to move past it. But I'm not going to scream pedophilia when that's not the issue. It's the fact that kids are working these jobs alongside adults and it is imo inappropriate. I understand that there isn't any skinship, but I still don't like it. I acknowledge though that this is a grey area that people can decide for themselves what their comfort level is as long as nothing actually physical is portrayed by the actors.

BUT there is no reasoning with Salsa Mia. They literally called Ming Lan pedophilia. The age gap between the characters would definitely be gross if it were modern day (she was a late teen in the show and he was an adult in his early 20's) but it was the Song dynasty and that was just how things were back then. But Salsa literally called the actors' real life ages pedophilia. Imagine thinking a 30 year old marrying a 39 year old is pedophilia. Deranged behavior.

I can't believe Namgoong Min is blessing us with a serious melo historical romance. I'm going to cry.

It's quite funny it's ZLY antis that go on other actresses' pages to bring ZLY up out of nowhere. No one on ZLY's page shits on YM yet there's always some asshole bringing up ZLY here for no reason. Like, we're just ZLY's fans, we don't feel the need to tear down others to bring her up. But psychos like yourself hate ZLY so much you can't help yourself but bring her up on every other actress in her age range's page to talk shit. You keep making multiple accounts to interact with yourself and it's so transparent and pathetic. You know she's a celebrity and is never going to care what you're saying right? And you sound deranged to the rest of us normal people. Get a job or a life and stop daydreaming these dramatic scenarios involving celebrities that never happened.

I think she was and is beautiful, but she definitely got work done. Yes, she lost weight and got older. But this was filmed when she was 21...her face didn't change that much naturally. I'm not hating at all or judging her for it, it's just the truth. Most actresses, even ones hailed as "natural beauties," get some kind of plastic surgery.

It's still a good drama and worth watching if the synopsis sounds interesting to you. The ML is definitely the weakest actor in the bunch, but the FL is really good.

It's not an issue to have a drama that is about close friends. The problem was that the marketing kind of baited it as GL. That, along with the serious lack of any GL content from China, resulted in people being disappointed.

It's idealistic, immature, and selfish but it's a drama so you're free to think it's all rainbows and puppies if you want.

They cry more than Luo Jin did in Royal Nirvana

I understand your frustration. There were many things left unsaid and unfinished but I was okay with that. The ending was simple. It didn't completely go against the stakes that were put in place in the beginning of the drama though which is why I appreciated it. So many fantasy dramas like Angel's Last Mission Love, Goblin, etc. put these rules out that dictate everything that happens in the drama and then throws those rules out the window to have a happy ending and that drives me insane. While this drama didn't wrap everything up perfectly I was still satisfied for the most part. It wasn't the most amazing drama and I'm not calling it a masterpiece like many are. But I enjoyed it and the ending didn't ruin it for me, so that's a win.

Sentimental and sweet. Suspend your disbelief, ignore some loopholes, don't expect a masterpiece, and you will probably enjoy this. It had a cool concept with an interesting female lead and the ending wasn't absolutely butchered like they tend to be in fantasy kdramas. 7.5/10 from me.

Girlie, you rate some really shitty dramas 10/10. Everyone likes different things. You can hate this all you want, but it's funny that you're shocked other people like it.

Try watching a Korean movie, their kissing and bed scenes are raunchy lmaooo

Xing Fei is so dainty and feminine though lmao

Oof that blows.

The cover looks like a Chinese drama

Yeah I've seen a few other dramas do that. If it's like those then S2 will probably air right after S1.

Yang Zi emphasizing how attached she is to her character is a very good sign. She said she felt the same about her Battle of Changsha and Ashes of Love characters and those are her best dramas. Ancient Love Song is my favorite drama of 2023 so far but this could possibly top the list. I'm soooo excited.

Sorry that girl fans are more enthusiastic. If more guys supported and watched dramas then male-centric ones would be more common. But they don't so they're going to make and fund what's popular.

Please tell me they at least filmed it all together so it's not like Joy of Life where we have to wait years

I loved FSF in Story of Minglan, one of my all time favorite male leads. Xukai is good too, I really liked him in Ancient Love Poetry. My favorite young actor is definitely Zhang Xincheng though.
