should I watch this? it has more than one ml and im scared ill get sml syndrome and get mad 😭 i dont like red…
will you get SML syndrome? that depends on which ML becomes your favorite. is the ML here similar to immortal samsara's ML? because there are four MLs, it's hard to answer this question.
Lost You Forever isn't like typical romance stories where the ML is FL's only love interest and who she will ultimately end up with. instead, the story explores the different relationship that FL has with the 4 MLs.
the FL here has severe abandonment issues stemming from childhood. as a result, she wants someone who'll never abandon her and will always put her first no matter what. so you kinda have to view the MLs as people who the FL *could* end up with depending on how their relationship evolves and if they meet her requirements, rather than as just one ML who she *will* end up with.
finished the first ep and it's very promising! my only criticism is the acting from young song mo; it's quite lacking compared to young dou zhao's actress who's doing well so far. ofc that's a minor issue and they're kids after all, but i just had to bring it up cuz there was so much wonderful tension that kept me hooked until young song mo appeared 🥲
i am kinda confused about the two lifetimes aspect though. which is their first life and which is their second? is the first lifetime what we saw before they died and the second lifetime when they went back to the past, or are we going to be introduced to another life later?
He is red flag, at least in the beginning since I've only read til ch 9 so far. He's a red flag bc of his misogynistic…
True. Problematic people are sometimes forgiven too easily by the victims, even when they haven't done anything to redeem themselves! For the drama, they can retain Li Yifei's arrogance but hopefully they at least tone down his rude behavior and anger issues. I can handle a bit of bickering but not straight up disrespect.

I understand how you feel, the number of times those happened in dramas is really disappointing! I hate how cheating (and sometimes even death as you mentioned) is treated as the ultimate measure of whether someone's a good or bad person, when there are other aspects that should also be taken seriously like abuse and toxicity. It really irks me seeing people say "but they cheated!" as if the other person wasn't verbally and physically abusive.
I think the Love Has Fireworks novelist did this when they had Qian Fei briefly feel guilty for slapping Li Yifei cuz he just got cheated on. Forget what I said about how two wrongs don't make a right lmao that slap was rightfully deserved! No need to feel sorry, Qian Fei. He kept being immature, making messes in HER house, and (same with Gui Lili) dragging her, their LANDLORD, into their relationship. The fact that Qian Fei hasn't even kicked those two kids out yet is really astonishing.
[from ch 16]
Li Yifei gave a cold laugh, stepped back, and cleared the doorway, “Didn’t she tell you to pack up her things? Then you come and pack for her!” Qian Fei was stunned. How could these two be so unreasonable? She couldn’t bear it anymore: “What’s wrong with you two? Whether you want to break up or live or die, can you leave me out of it? I’m just an ordinary landlord among thousands, not a community mediator!" ... Li Yifei had thrown all of Gui Lili’s belongings into the living room, creating a huge mess. ... "Alright, stop throwing things! I’ll go in and pack them up myself, okay? Please have some consideration for my apartment!” ... Li Yifei had just been dramatically cheated on and broken up with by his girlfriend, and then she had slapped him and said such harsh words. He must be feeling hurt right now. Feeling sympathetic, Qian Fei mumbled softly to him, "I’m sorry…"
He is red flag, at least in the beginning since I've only read til ch 9 so far. He's a red flag bc of his misogynistic…
Yes I'm appalled at his behavior 😭 Before reading, I knew that Li Yifei was cocky but I didn't know that he was also incredibly misognystic! His character development better be PHENOMENAL. I'm expecting a whole new attitude cuz the one he has right now is not it.
I've read til ch 16 already and *spoiler* it's been revealed that his gf Gui Lili really was cheating on him with her boss (gold digger fr) but that doesn't excuse LYF's behavior. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Fingers crossed that the drama puts LYF in a brighter light, otherwise even my beloved actor Tan Jianci wouldn't be able to save it...
7.1.. that’s a terrible rating? how bad is this drama? i wanted to watch it
i heard it's cuz of the one dimensional characters, no chemistry between the leads, bad editing especially in the last several eps, lazy "fight" scenes which are just them throwing powers around with their hands, and yang mi's acting (all of this is subjective ofc).
for me, i dropped it the moment i saw that FL first met ML when he's a little kid while she's a grown adult, the leader of tushan clan at that!
Wow! Our Cang Xuan is going to be voice for Scar from the Chinese release of Disney's Mufasa The Lion King.https://x.com/yushooxin/status/1863788183294759051
omgg congratulations to zhang wanyi! putting that beautiful voice to good use. i'm not a fan of disney's live actions but now i'm thinking about watching just to hear him 🤣
Some people said ( from novel) Li Yi Fei is red flag character. I already finished reading that novel. What I…
He is red flag, at least in the beginning since I've only read til ch 9 so far. He's a red flag bc of his misogynistic mindset, refusal to contribute to chores, constant shouting and kicking things, and hiding secrets from his own gf. Gui Lili is also a red flag but I find her more annoying than red flag tbh. Either way, she or anybody else shouldn't be criticized like that. If Li Yifei is truly a good person, he should have a respectful conversation with her (whether it's to address her issues or break up with her) instead of yelling back and leaving temporarily.
As Qian Fei put it, "The man was full of young master’s airs, never lifting a finger to help, throwing tantrums when things didn’t go his way, believing it was natural for men not to do housework. The woman disliked labor, loved dressing up and acting cute, and was more delicate than anyone. With two ancestors like these who both needed to be waited on, it would be a miracle if they could make their relationship work." (Ch 8)
Sorry if I'm thinking too deep about this. LYF and GLL's relationship just reminded me of my parents' so I have pretty strong opinions about these things 😆 The two changes I hope the drama makes is having LYF break up with his gf before renting the house and toning down/removing his aggressiveness and misogny.
- Below are just examples of LYF's red flag behavior from the novel.
Ch 4 [QF] glanced at their room and saw LYF sitting on the sofa like an old man, with a laptop on his lap, either playing games or doing something else. ... GLL: "LYF, can’t you show some concern for me? Can’t you write the report after we finish unpacking?" LYF sounded like he kicked the coffee table, saying impatiently, 'I’m so tired of your fussing lately! Can’t you understand? Why did we have to move these past few days? This project needs to be reported to the Securities Regulatory Commission next week. If I don’t finish writing the discussion points today, we can’t have the meeting tomorrow, and next week I might as well quit and live on air, okay? Forget it, I’m going to the office!'"
Ch 5 GLL: "When I ask you where you’re going and who you’re eating with, you don’t say. What do you mean by keeping secrets from me like this!” LYF: “I don’t want to deal with you!” ... LYF: “Are all you girls so fickle? When you first start dating, you’re all sweet and clingy, but once you’re together, it’s all crying and screaming?” “Don’t tell her about me eating at the Cheng family banquet tonight!”
Ch 6 GLL: "Li Yifei, I’m your girlfriend, not your maid. You can’t expect me to do everything!” LYF: “Gui Lili, as a woman, isn’t it natural for you to do laundry and cook?” GLL: "I’m an only child. My parents raised me like a son. Why should I be the one doing all this?” LYF: “If you can’t even do these things, can you even call yourself a woman?”
Ch 7 For the next few minutes, [LYF] held the flashlight and watched in amazement as QF swiftly replaced the fuse. “How do you know how to do this? Are you even a woman?”
Ch 8 LYF: “Where are you? Why aren’t you home so late? What do you mean I’m always home late too? I’m a man, how can you compare? If I’m out socializing late at night, no one gossips about me. But if you’re out late entertaining your boss, I worry people will point at me and gossip! How am I being rude? If you didn’t behave so inappropriately, would I speak so harshly? Gui Lili, how have you become like this? Can you still be with me properly like a decent girl? Come back right now, or don’t come back at all!”
5 chapters in the novel and I already hate everybody LMAO 😭 I'm only rooting for Qian Fei and her happiness. Geez can my girl get some genuinely caring people in her life for once and not people pressuring her to do this and that? Even Hu Zining is suspicious. I feel like he's gonna turn out to be either a liar who was only after her house or smth idk maybe he just wants to sleep with her, or he's gonna turn out to be super clingy and naiively supportive cuz too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.
And Tan Jianci ily but your character Li Yifei rn is just 🚩🚩🚩 red flags everywhereee. He just let his girlfriend organize their belongings while he sat around on his laptop 💀 AND that pos Wang Ruohai needs to leave my girl alone. Y'all broke up already gtfo and stop gaslighting her into thinking she's in the wrong
But I'm curious to see how things will evolve from here... Even Qian Fei, although she's not a bad person, she's too gullible and indecisive. I hope she can become a little more stronger and confident in herself.
