I hate these “reincarnation” endings. A reincarnated person is not the same as the original Lin Yan SSG fell in love with. Why do writers insist on this BS writing. It feels like lazy writing to me, just an easy way to do a quick HE instead of thinking through an actual good ending. In the novel, I read that they love in the Tang era for a long time and have kids and are happy. Why couldn’t they do that ending. Why do we always end up with the “reincarnation” reunion in the last 30 seconds of the last episode. It’s ver cliche and not satisfying. They wasted so many good episodes on the parents’ story that didn’t even progress into anything and will give us such a lame ending. It’s so annoying when you’ve spent time watching the whole series to be given such a thoughtless, cliche, and lazy ending. The writers and the director needs to be fired.

Most likely will knowing these Cdrama writers. It’s like no one can seem to do a well written ending.

I prefer them to be happy in the Tang era. They’re all much happier and Lin Yan doesn’t technically exist in the future. And I don’t want to see a “happy ending” with a future reincarnated Lin Yan. A reincarnation is a cop out. She fell in love with Lin Yan from Tang dynasty not another Lin Yan from future or otherwise. I hate when writers use that future trophe to get out of writing a decent ending for their characters. It’s lazy.

I agree, was wondering the same thing. Why isn’t he asking how she knew his details if they aren’t engaged. He could tell she likes him so why isn’t he asking more questions? Is it because he is a “gentleman” and it’s clear she is rejecting him and he doesn’t want to push the issue? But that doesn’t justify his anger at them. He did say he isn’t blind and could see that they were genuine to him so why can’t he ask why they truly lied when they are so genuine and caring towards him. It doesn’t seem very much like his character to be like this. I do think this is a huge miss by the writers. Or they thought they had 36 episodes instead of 32 and a lot of it has been edited out.

I just saw the previews for Ep 29 and they still haven’t figured out he’s not the ancestor! There’s only 3 episodes left after that. They wasted so many episodes on nonsense and they’re just going to rush the ending like all these Cdrama do. It’s so frustrating.

They need to limit so much time on the parents story. I get that this is a story about the whole family but to spend that much time on the parents whining and fighting with each other WITH NO PROGRESS just feels like filler. They could devote more of that time to the ML and FL but they chose to waste it on repeated nonsense. I mean the mother is such a flat character. She has no arc, no improvement, nothing. I’m at Ep 24 and enough already. It’s like the director and writers are just amateur and don’t know how to put together a proper drama. This drama started so strong and so good in many ways. At this critical mid-point they’re just wasting all their time with boring nonsense. I feel bad for LYR and WYL who have great chemistry and have done a phenomenal job with the acting. It’s like their own director and writers are sabotaging and ruining this
otherwise great drama.

That would be such a shtty ending. But I thought in the novel Lin Yan and SSG get married have kids and live a long happy life in Chang’an.

I agree, I don’t know why Cdrama always waste middle episodes with BS that doesn’t advance the plot of the ML and FL stories. I can just imagine that they’ll waste all theses episodes with nonsense and then all of a sudden in Ep 30 they’ll rush to resolve everything and devote about 30 seconds to the final ending where the viewers don’t feel much satisfaction or closure in the ending. I fear that’s what will happen. This type of pacing and story telling always plague Cdramas. You would think that they would learn but it’s like they insist on this nonsense. This is why Cdramas don’t get the wide accolades and fan following that they should get. They usually have great stories, characters and actors but the directors and writers usually get crazy at the end and lose their mind towards the last 10 episodes and mess up everything they built. Always feels like self-sabotage.

Can you spoil the novel’s He for me? I don’t think I can handle the angst of waiting

This drama is from the writers of “New Life Begins” which I loved. I thought it had a similar vibe. No wonder I’m really enjoying it. I do wish the ancestor reveal happens soon tho. And I hope they spend time on a good solid complete happy ending and not some BS like they’ve been doing where the ML and FL get their reunion and then the drama ends.

I think ppl usually wait until the drama stops airing so they can binge. Also, this drama is competing with Fated Hearts. But to be honest, I dropped Fated hearts. It’s too much, so much hate and killing and betrayal, more than your avg Cdrama so I dropped it. I’m sure with the word of mouth the viewership will pick up.

Is that good?

Will this have a happy ending? Who read the book? Can someone tell me? I’ve been seeing mixed spoilers so I can’t tell and the latest video I watched has me nervous.

The brother will remember the full story the grandpa told. Jicai had to go to school so she didn’t hear the rest and her brother is an idiot so her forgot about it but I think he remembers the full story later. That’s what I read.

Right?? It totally ruined that moment.

I don’t think it’s dragging. I like the pacing. The story is progressing well and I am enjoying it. Frankly, I’m watching Fated Hearts and I’m wondering how they can drag that drama out to 38 episodes. So I guess it’s different per taste. I am sad it’s only 32 episodes.

For anyone hesitating about this drama thinking it’ll be too silly - DON’T HESITATE! START NOW! The drama is so good! So well done. It’s not really silly as much as it’s funny. They do a great job of leveling the funny down with the seriousness coming from the FL and the ML. And I have to give credit to the FL and ML and how great acting can truly manage the tone of the drama. If they weren’t good actors I think the funny scenes could have come off silly. But due to their acting, I think the lines are delivered with the perfect balance of funny and serious. So most of the silly come just from the supporting actors. The FL and ML can be humorous in context just based on their lines and reactions but it’s not silly. So I like that balance. Also, the mystery of who their ancestor really is and what happened to the ML’s family keeps the plot grounded. So although the romance is a bit slow (with a lot of subtle smiles, looks, and interactions) it’s abundant enough for people who want romance. I really like this drama and am so so happy I started it.

Omg yes! I was rofl! I watched it several times it was so funny! 😂 Both were so hilarious with their reactions and facial expressions they killed me!! I hope they have a behind the scenes for that scene

No, it’s not. It’s much better and less cliche. I feel kdramas these days are just rewriting the same stories but with a little difference. This drama is much better than Bon Appetit, and way funnier without trying to be funny

THIS DRAMA IS SO GOOD!! I didn’t expect it at all because of the silly name but I binged 7 episodes in one night. Episode 4 had me rolling on the floor it was so funny. LYR and WYL have great chemistry and with LYR giving her those smoldering looks omg this is too good!
