It's come to my attention that a few courageous souls openly admitted they have GS-PTSD (also known as GeSun Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). 

Clearly, some of you are suffering in silence from this disorder.

Please consider joining GSA (short for GeSun ANONYMOUS):  an international fellowship of viewers who have GS-PTSD or GeSun-related problems.  It is nonprofessional, self-supporting, multiracial, and available on MDL 24/7.  Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about his or her GeSun problem.

Full Disclosure: I AM A LIFELONG MEMBER.

Thanks for sharing! It's so nice to know GeSun won in China; that there are more of us GeSun fans on the other side of the world. If only we can all connect somehow and speak one universal tongue.

My exact sentiment! It's so poetic. Changge being the brightest moon and Ah Sun being the strongest wine. Ahhhh, I can go to sleep happy tonight.

Hahaha, it never gets old!

Ohhhh, I've been looking forward to Heroes because I love Joseph Zeng!!! Sadly, there's no way to filter/search for Yan Bei on MDL since the producer isn't tagged.

I laughed the first 13 seconds because the military march music was so pronounced, I thought Darth Vader and his storm troopers were going to take over the screen any moment. Hahaha.

Wow. Thanks for sharing! The chief producer, Yan Bei, spent 6 years bringing this drama to us, and insisted on booking Chu Yui Bun as the director. I admire her visions and ability to see talents. Got to find what other projects are under Yan Bei's portfolio.

I can only gently advise international viewers who don't see the great chemistry between the leads to re-watch the drama again but focus on the face/acting and what the camera lens capture instead of reading the subtitles. For me, I set my screen small enough so I can catch all subtitles and acting at one go. If the video is set to full screen or I'm too closed to the monitor, I find myself spending too much time reading subtitles. With TLB, I don't even need to read the subtitles anymore for most scenes because I've watched it so many times already. My re-watching experience is so enjoyable and rich. I'm absorbing all great things GeSun is offering, and yup, they are still oooozing non-stop chem.

If viewers still don't see the chemistry, then...sigh, some people look but they don't see. Some are at a tender age so they haven't developed the ability to grasp the deeper level of connection. Some just don't want to see because they already established a pre-conceived bias.

Hahahha thanks for the laugh. “Vintage” really did me in.

Under The Power is one of my recent faves, and it’s because the leads have great chemistry. Allen’s current on-air drama is the only one that manages to bring me some minor relief from GS-PTSD.

Hahahaha this comment is sooo hilarious. Us being specimen in a petri dish.

Hehehe, I love these , too, especially princess agents. I highly recommend Kenny Lin’s new drama “To Love” if you like him. It’s really captivating. The director did a really good job in weaving all pov’s together. That show is so underrated.

Totally understand and it’s not a fair comparison on my part as it’s apple and orange. Will give it another try once I get my groove back.

I agree. The prince does protect her well. I stopped at ep 7. I’ll probably give it another try .

What’s the other one? Curious now!!

I tried.... sigh...it's not bad like you said, but the chemistry is no where at Gesun's level. So I had to walk away.

I seriously tried at least 5 new or still-airing cdramas, and I had to drop them. I don't want to name the titles here incase it spoils for other people since this is MY problem. =) GS-PTSD ruins me pretty badly.

Now that I’ve finished the drama, I’m worried.

Very worried. Worried that I’ve befallen with a disorder : The GS-PTSD. Also known as GeSun Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Causes: exposure to intense event.

Symptoms: recurring thoughts or feelings relating to the event.

Diagnostic method: based on symptoms.

Treatment: counseling and by visiting MDL TLB forum to relieve symptoms.

GS-PTSD totally ruins me. There will be no other cdrama that can best it. No other couple can take its special place in my poor heart.

I’ll just go curl up in bed now. The struggle is real.

Thanks so much!!! Because of you, I finished all 49 episodes!!!!!

What software did you use to export/strip the original mandarin closed caption? I tried doing this a few weeks ago with 3 different softwares, but none was able to support it.

It was torturous to wait 4 days week over week for subs. So glad to be part of a community with participants who embrace the TLB obsessions.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to VIU due to VPN. I don't want to deal with VPN installation/setup. Viki has decent translations from past experience with other series, but it's slow for non-vip members. For TLB, it's only available up to episode 36 at the moment!!!! I'd be dead from all the suspense already.
