Cause JGS always gets judged really harshly every time he does a romcom/melo, so I think he stated something to the effect of not wanting to do them anymore. The boy gets wayyy too much criticism so if he does sometimes do dramas I think he will stay away from romance. He has too many antis. :(

Agree with the previous comment. Main couple was boring- basically this isn't a romance drama it's more political. But even then it's like 15 episodes too long. Would have been better if it didn't drag or they actually did something with the romance in the second half.

I skipped from ep 32 to the finale and even then I was bored. I do appreciate the FL- very well written, elegant and graceful and the actress did a fantastic job in her role. But the males in the drama had a lot of overacting, lots of bulging eyes here.

It could have been so much better given how smart the FL was, but unfortunately too many episodes and a boring plot made the drama not worth the watch.

Lol yeah! Iqiyi has gotten better with their trailers now. I remember even their trailers used to be the entire drama in a 10 min summary!
If the botanist drama is too angsty I might give it a pass. I can't deal with too much angst and long term separation. Gives me too much anxiety!

Ah that's good. I saw the trailer for one of his upcoming modern times dramas - as botanist ? Even that looks like it's full of angst but more from the sibling relationship? Tbh watching the trailer was watching a summary of the drama- I pretty much figured everything out!

LOL! ok that explains why he always has it in every drama!

hahahha - ok I dropped that cause too much unnecessary misunderstandings one after the other. But man CY really loves to act in these super angsty lovers get separated for ages dramas huh?

In LLTG they separate for the last 5 eps and get back together in the last one. Honestly not as bad as this one but LLTG would have been so much better without that stupid stubborn separation. It should have lasted 2 eps max. I still highly recommend LLTG over IS because the script, cinematography, acting is exceptional.
Although IS has better kiss scenes.

Also man - this drama should get the award for the most blood vomiting. I hope the prop team added some nice flavours to the fake blood because literally everyone and their grandma vomit blood in this drama.

best scene in the entire drama. should have had more of those scenes instead of the all the blood vomiting.

I really liked the 1st part, it was so fun despite the angst, I felt so connected to the characters and the story. Esp loved their time in the mortal world and how close FL ML and 2ML become. And how non-toxic the 2ML is in this, usually in Xinxia dramas the 2ML either dies or turns evil but Yumo was just pure sweetness. The ML and FL have such great chemistry and although full of angst their love story was still filled with sweetness (esp in the mortal world!). I like the little adventures they went on and became "One Good Deed A Day" Team.

However the 2nd part was just a mess. Too many sub plots, plots within plots- I started to lose focus and reallllyy struggled to finish this in the last 20-15 eps. I honestly was ffwd to get to the end. I really dislike how convoluted everything became, the back and forth between the main leads started to make me roll my eyes. I felt the chemistry was almost gone between them because everything was dragging. This honestly should have been 40-45 eps. 60 eps was too much for this plot and ended up destroying an otherwise great drama.

The special eps were nice - I'm glad for them (otherwise I wouldn't even have watched it) but really I think the drama could have gone a different direction within the normal episodes and given us the same ending. The special episodes felt a little half hearted and somewhat too little too late.

I would only recommend this if you have nothing else to watch and like the cast (which I do). But be forewarned it becomes really boring and repetitive towards the last 20 eps.

Same. I hate it when it's just used as a plot device that's not taken seriously and even worse how it was used as a non-issue in this drama. So for me now I draw a line and just drop dramas where writers can't be bothered to actually be creative and use assault as a pointless filler scene.

oh yay thanks! I can start watching it now!

Does it finally have a happy ending?

An extra - just someone who gets assaulted by the rich cousin. The drama treats it in such a blase way it was disgusting.

best character was xioman and her love for paus. this is barely watchable with terrible acting a weak script but cute storyline. I'm not even sure why I watched this and even less sure why I finished.

I watched the first episode and I couldn't understand what her answer is when the ML asked her "why did you think we are related?" and she replied cause something and something ends. And I was like what?

Thank you! I tried kisskh already - subs are ripped from youtube so it's more or less still confusing to watch for me. idk. I guess I'm going to have to suffer through bad subs if I want to watch this. For now it's on hold - AGAIN.

Yeah I did try this, but some of the subs don't make sense to me so I stopped watching it on this. Thank you though!

Been trying to watch LBTI for ages but can't find good subs and viki isn't showing it in Asia :(

ikr????? the writers did really well with that line!
