although i like both li landi and tan jianci, i originally had low expectations for filter. who would've thought that it's now one of my favorite dramas <3
i've also come to like landi even more; she has a fun and lovable personality. i'll have to go back and finish love of nirvana just for her (of course after obsessing over filter some more haha)
it set my expectations quite high for my next watches too 🥲 but just remember that nothing will be able to replace filter; this drama stands in a league of its own <3
I really don’t understand the hate towards Runyu. Out of all the characters in Ashes of Love, he was one of…
hmmm he was manipulative though (and later selfish by trying to force him into her heart). he *knew* jinmi and xufeng liked each other, yet he played innocent and made everyone think his and jinmi's feelings were mutual. i also believe he deserves to be loved but that's not the right way to do it. he slowly turned from being the victim to being the perpetrator.
btw i don't hate his character, i actually hate the author for turning him into a villain and not giving him the good ending he deserved :(
Dropped it after episode 3, not because i thought it was bad but because i didn't understand what Nanno purpose…
it's hard to explain because there is no clear explanation on who nanno is.
the way i see it, she's a complex, morally gray character who's not meant to be purely good or purely evil. she doesn't stop the characters from committing crimes but she's not exactly encouraging them to do it either. while it may seem like she does, what she's actually doing is testing them: how far are these humans willing to go with their deceptions and wrongdoings?
all nanno does is set the stage. what happens next, whether good or bad, is ultimately up to the character.
I dislike shows with these type of premise but I love both the FL and ML sad that I have to drop this because…
no, this drama is not like that at all! if you continue watching, you'll see that the ML doesn't love based on appearance, but rather, inner beauty / personality. (more specifically, the FL's true self since all the personas are ultimately her)
plus, you have to remember that the ML views FL negatively because he thought she was a bully back during their school days. put yourself in his shoes - would you like someone who bullied you? he doesn't realize that the people he fall in love with are actually the FL until later.
Any Cdrama ends : MDL community comments: which ep ml & fl start dating? any break-up? any love Triangle?I have…
and most of the time, someone else already answered the same question a couple comments below. like hellooo why are you waiting for an answer when there's already an answer right there LOL
rewatching all my favorite scenes even after the drama ended. su miao arc is the most entertaining, fang jin arc is the most memorable, and dating arc is the sweetest <3

"you're pregnant with an orange" 🤣
no wonder filter's comedic aspect was done so well. they have natural comedians in the cast
