I watched 14 episodes with subtitles and from 15 to 19 unsubtitled. I wonder if the remaining 5 episodes will be enough to complete the story.

Am I the only one disappointed by the time jump?
The drama spent 15 episodes on the video game but only 5 episodes on their debut as a couple before making the time jump.

It is normal for Youtube subtitles to disappear, they are in a separate file.
I advise you to take the youtube videos and go to https://downsub.com/ to retrieve the subtitle files (just paste the link of the youtube video and the different subtitle languages ​​will be offered to you ).

I am always confused when, under the pretext that characters have known one person as children or teens (sometimes for less than a year), there is no problem about them imposing themselves again in the character's life as if the years had not passed and that the characters owed them something.
It's so unrealistic, oppressive and bordering on harassment. Similarly, if a guy shows up at my door pretending to be my daughter's ex-friend (who broke her heart), I won't let him come in like that. Or I contact my daughter to confirm she's okay with this guy's presence. Taking a stranger's word, who was close to my daughter 8 years ago, is a nonsense.
I hope one day the writers will stop this kind of relationship.

The ML doesn't hates her because of the rain. If he just saved her, that doesn't make sense. It is because she threw herself in his arms after that he imagines she is a manipulative seductress in search of a rich target.

Precisely no. There was indeed a one-night stand in the drama as well (which was filmed and can be seen in the trailer) and some ML words allude to it (when he talks about the FL "experience", when he says he'll keep their past a secret if she claims to have forgotten and so on). But the final version censored that which makes it all confusing.

You mean the scene where her ex-college senior tries to assault her? She wears the same outfit and the place looks the same as the dinner with ML's childhood friend who used her for toasting.
It is sure that the beginning of the drama seems to tease a plot with her old suitor and finally it is resolved without ever having been explored and he gets together with the friend of the ML.
In fact, I feel like the core topic was quickly pushed aside to build a new, less interesting story.
The prejudices between the ML and the FL are resolved without clearly addressing their one-night stand. The FL being pursued by her ex-schoolmate lasts only a few episodes and leads nowhere.
On the other hand, we will spend ten scenes per episode on toxic secondary couples. It's quite confusing and boring.

I think the scene was cut because in the trailer we see their one-night stand with DXS taking the initiative. Which explains why the ML considers that she is quite experienced despite her young age, thinks that she is had an habit to trapping rich men and speaks of "keeping their past quiet". But apparently it was censored.

I'm on episode 26 and something is bothering me. In the trailer, released several years ago, we saw DXS take the initiative in a one-night stand with LYZ. Therefore, when in the first part of the drama LYZ says he has a prejudice about her, that he knows she is "experienced" despite her young age and that she has a short memory I always perceived it as: they spent the night together when he saved her and he thinks it was an ambush. That she purposely passed out in front of him to seduce a rich man. Reason why he is wary of her while having contradictory feelings (because he has already been seduced by her in the past and is still attracted to her).
However, for now, the drama never openly brings up what happened that night, other than the rescue. Has it been censored? Or will we have confirmation later? Even if it seems to me that it is too late for that, given where the story is.
I even thought Xiang Yuan was DXS ex-boyfriend who cheated on her, which is why she drank and was wandering in the rain. Then when she said he was chasing her, I thought he drugged or drunk her to abuse her. But this is never discussed. We don't know what she was doing drunk in the rain. We don't know why, in the first few episodes, she is so shocked and pissed off to cross paths with her former classmate.
It's quite confusing. It's to believe there are plots which have been cut.

Wu Lei is considered the nation's little brother in China. He is a child actor and his mother, who is his agent, really pays attention to his image.
He was not yet 21 years old when this drama was filmed. The majority to get married among Chinese boys is 22 years old.
We do not know exactly what it is but we can guess that because of his youth and his image, he must have a "no kiss" contract for now. In addition, Dilraba is 7 years older than him and, in China, couples where the woman is older are more difficult for the audience to deal with.
So certainly because of a contrate, Wu Lei's image, of his young age and to avoid any problem with the audience if an older woman kisses a very young man, we got parrots instead.

2 now :D

Thanks for your support! <3
I have two videos planned (one about the whole story of Gesun and the other about Changge's relationship with various characters: Leyan, Hao Du, the emperor, Shu Yu, Ashile Sun & Sheer) . I would see later to maybe do more.

You're so sweet, thanks <3

<3 Glad you liked it!
I almost gave up at one point because there were too many scenes and I had trouble fitting them into the 3min30 of the song (as I wanted to use an OST from the drama). But in the end, I am satisfied with the result. It concludes their story well and it makes me want to watch the drama even more from the start :D

He definitely failed as a father, as an uncle and as a leader.
But I appreciate that we understand a bit the reasons behind his attitude rather than seeing him remain a bully, mistreating his wife and distrusting his adopted son for no good reason.

Yes it's from me x) Thank you!
I think there are two of us on MDL doing fmv about TLB.
Jatsuki is super talented for editing, color schemes and english song choices. I love her videos!
I'm more specialized in fmv which retrace the story of characters chronologically. Which is a problem for me for my next video because it will be complicated to do it chronologically and I am struggling to find how to edit all this, lol.

Khan failed but, at the same time, we understand at the end why he did that.
Khatun betrayed him by murdering his brother for power. Having become suspicious and paranoid, he distances his nephew from the harmful influence of his mother and fears the bond between the 2 brothers. If Khatun could have committed such a crime, why wouldn't Ashile Sun do it? He also comes from the central plains and is not related by blood to the Khan.
Even though he was wrong, I appreciated understanding why, overnight, Khan had stopped being a loving father and made the brothers hate each other.

Wow, thanks for the compliment! ^_^
Glad my fmvs can please other fans. This drama is so deserving to be seen, reviewed and discussed!
I don't know when we'll see such an interesting couple with crazy chemistry again TT

I am French so there is a nuance between informal and formal language in the French subtitles. In my opinion, they use a formal language until episode 15 (because until then, even if they were friends, there was a certain distance between them) but from the taking of the city, they speak in an informal language because, as you say, their relationship becomes aggressive and then friendly / relaxed.
But it seems that in Chinese the nuance is not as important as in my language.

Sun's flirtation is literally killing me. The worst ? I'm sure he's not even aware of what he's doing at first or what it means, it comes naturally to him.
