He used the real tiger tally (the one he'd recovered when the crown prince lost it) to deploy the troops to keep everyone away from Ling Yi's house. The soldiers CSS and her family ran into on their way to the manor were the troops HBY had deployed (falsely under the CP's name). It served 2 purposes - to keep anyone from interfering with his plan to massacre the Ling family, and to taint CP's name so he gets deposed from his position as CP.

Amen to this. I lovvveee ZBB. He's a fantastic actor and deserves tons of love. I also love WHD and ship DiXin, but can keep them seperated

It was ultra strange for me to see her in this after just coming off her role in Tell Me What You Saw (a murderer suffering from deranged, trauma-based illusions).

Yess. That would be fantastic.

LOL It was a 10/10 but you didn't finish it?

I liked Ye Guang a lot more in Ep 6. His conflict with his parents and his confrontation with Xu Qi Zhang felt real to me. I haven't felt like he's been "flat" per se, just.. not as strong as the other actors (especially Qi Zhang), but he did better in those emotional scenes this episode.

Dong Yeon is wonderful in Vincenzo! I also hear he's great in Big Mouth too

I'm on ep 1, and I loveeee how easily frazzled Ji Chang Wook gets. He's so relatable (and we're the same age). Surprised by how funny and quick-witted Kwak Dong Yeon is (the quiz and the car conversation about weighing people's heads, lmao).

You know how flipping difficult it is to watch this drama? I have to pause like EVERY 2 SECONDS to get a glimpse of everyone's expressions in every frame. THERE'S SO MUCH TO LOOK AT. Only most of my favorite Korean actors in 1 show, NBD.

I think it adds to how completely out of touch she is from parenting. She has no clue what she's even talking about but says it in such a confident way.

Oooo ive loved him since You Make Me Dance. Hes got natural talent and an incredible presence. SO happy to see his rising success. How neat it was, to see his new drama on my Netflix homepage. Its so cute so far, too! He really is a scene stealer. Able to emote serious emotions and great physical comedy in quick change.

This is the cutest drama so far. What sweet angels. They're all so talented.

I disagreed with your statements about "people" moving on/past these types of dramas and it "not getting attention or discourse" because I don't think one outdated article is enough to fairly make assumptions about millions of viewers. It's got an 8.5 on MDL, and the article you shared is from 8/22 when there were only 4 episodes, out of which there are now 10. As I said, it's not for everyone, and some people avoid these types of more healing/melancholic tones, and that's fine, but I think it's a very strong drama for JCW. I hope it doesn't hurt his popularity, but we'll see how it fares.

YESS! I've been so surprised this drama went there and I'm so thankful. It's not discussed enough.

Yeah, i thought this was an incredible episode. The spotlight on male victims of domestic abuse is so rare in dramas (especially kdramas), and I think it was handled so well.

Strongly disagree. I greatly appreciate how much attention and discourse this drama is bringing to male victims of emotional and physical domestic abuse. I also think this drama has been very healing with its individual stories revolving around death/end-of-life care. Neither subject is talked about nearly enough. While I agree that JCW has had a few lackluster dramas (nothing to do with his talent, IMO, and everything to do with the script or execution), this has been one of my all-time favorite Ji Chang Wook dramas. I also thought the Sound of Magic was wonderful (excluding the actual singing scenes I skipped through since I'm not a fan of musicals). To each their own.

He oozes charisma and is a very strong actor, I'm surprised he's not in more hit dramas. I also wish he had the lead role more often. Nothing should stop him, aside from maybe a bad manager and bad scripts. I've never found fault in his acting, regardless of how bad the drama he's appearing in is.

The OST is gorgeous. I've been listening nonstop to The Other Side - Jing Long & Jing Di. This drama was unbelievably well done. I haven't been this awe-struck by a production in a very long time.

Great review! Agreed with most commentary. I loved the BGM played throughout LLTG. Especially the ones typically played during our CP moments (the melancholic violin being my favorite, but I also love CSS' flute number).

Oh, very easily. I'm still depressed its over (I finished it when the fast track episodes were released last week).
