I'm embarassed to say I've watched S1 so many times and never noticed, because I always skip intros
lmao 😂 I guess it's cuz I love a lot of the LYF bgm. One of my favs is played in the intro, which starts around the scene of Xiao Yao lying down on the pink flower.
I'm probably in the minority here, but the drama started feeling draggy and boring by episode 29 or so. The only interesting part that made me continue was Princess Wanning and her backstory.
Don't get me started on that ending. I wonder what the hell they were thinking.. They really decided to shove so much into that last episode, especially the last 10 minutes. And Shen Yurong had been a pretty quiet character up to this point. Why did he suddenly turn into some psychopath desperate for Xue Fangfei to love him back? Everything was so rushed like damn gimme some time to let the events marinate first!
The ending is supposedly happy because the leads are still alive. But it didn't feel happy to me. How is it happy Wen Ji and Lu Ji literally just DIED?? 😭 I believe that a happy ending shouldn't just mean that the leads survive and end up together, it should also mean that the side characters like friends and family are happy or at least content too!
Kudos to The Double team for providing a special bonus episode though. Not a lot of dramas do that. Plus, Wu Jinyan + Wang Xingyue's chemistry is so good!
can someone spoil me, is there a second fl/ml? yk the one who has a crush on ml/fl (is there is idk if i wanna…
There are some people who admire ML but none of them have ill intent or bring trouble to the leads. From start to end, this drama is a fluffy, easy watch with zero stressors and zero problems.
Tried to pick this up 3 times now and still failed to get hooked.
This seems to be one of those dramas where fans usually like it for the people, not necessarily the plot. If you don't like or grow to like any of the actors, actresses, or characters then you'll find it hard to continue. I know because if not for the second leads and their steaming chemistry (plus the drama's beautiful cinematography), I'd have dropped it.
This is Jing/YaoJing response and reason for why XY accepted Jing's 15yrs. promise. Its quite disturbing. 'No…
They forgot to understand that the difference between an ordinary woman and Xiao Yao is that Xiao Yao has severe abandonment issues, so severe that she'd rather ignore her heart than risk being abandoned.
Its rumoured to be august.Edit: now I'm seeing october 🤦🏻♀️
Considering the lack of promotions, I highly doubt it'd be August unless they're planning to airdrop it. October sounds more reasonable.. but where's the confirmation 😭
"Every time Xiaoyao was happy with TSJ, she never seem to remember XL."— Now, that is just not true. Allow me…
If XL confessed to XY and they weren't enemies, do you think XY would still choose Jing? Hint: Yang Zi herself said that if XL confessed then the ending would be different. Hint 2: Yang Zi also said that whoever XY ends up with isn't her own choice. Hint 3: Yang Zi also said that XY did not choose Jing, he was just the only one who could put her first.
And the Lovers Bug is literally solid evidence that XL and XY's love is mutual. They never turned into Heartbreak Bugs, EVER, even when XY dated Jing. XL had to kill them himself. I think it's you who doesn't know what Tong Hua's intention was.
If that's still not convincing enough, read this exerpt from XY's character diagram that was included in an edition of the novel:
...对相 柳有情, 但误以为相柳讨厌自己, 一生 渴望全心全意的相护, 后与涂山璟结 为夫妻。 She loves/has feelings for Xiang Liu but mistakenly thinks that Xiang Liu hates her. Throughout her life, she yearns for wholehearted mututal protection. Later, she marries Tushan Jing.
