I would be okay with romance if they bothered to have it make sense. No way the ML wouldn't have suspected that she was Naksu way earlier on.

Yeah in the book, it's more like a quick infatuation followed by a dramatic and stupid decision on Yan Dan's part (as she admits later on while in the mortal world - she remembers everything). Therefore the idea that she moves on to Yu Mo later makes more sense (they spend twenty years together in the mortal world before she meets Tang Zhou). But in the drama they are going more for an intense, eternal love vibe between Yan dan and Ying yuan (as these dramas tend to have).

I haven't finished the book but they've definitely changed the story so that viewers are more sympathetic to Ying yuan in the drama. In the book, there is no relationship development between Yan dan and Ying yuan prior to her finding him tied to the tree, and Ying yuan actually doesn't recognize her after he is healed and can see again. He mistakenly thinks that Zhi xi is the one who was taking care of him, and even fails to recognize Yan dan when he walks up to her (in the book, the sisters are either identical twins or resemble each other a lot). In this sense, I find that some of Yan dan's dramatic text in the drama makes more sense in the book context where Ying yuan truly was more of a jerk and it wasn't nearly as clear to Yan dan that he liked her at all. Once he finds out it was Yan dan, he tells her he think he actually liked her since long ago, but then doesn't take her side clearly in the following incident where she is accused to pushing someone off the bridge.

I don't know if it's the translation or what but I have to laugh at the line "I'm taking the first flight back" when it's been 2 years since he left and with that reason for not coming back. The drama logic is strong in this one but you know I love it.

I was just thinking yesterday that as someone who hasn't started the show yet (I mostly watch completed dramas) that I probably wouldn't try this one due to the switch in actors, though otherwise the drama interests me. It's just a deal breaker for me, and probably a lot of people, so I'm glad they're committing to reshooting the first episodes.

He could have become a productive law-abiding citizen in a way where his face and image isn't publicly known, instead of choosing a career path based on his image where he's treated as an angel that can do no wrong. His rehabilitation doesn't mean that he deserves to be a celebrity looked up to by millions - especially when it's obviously such a shallow rehabilitation only for his own interests. What an insult it must have been to his victims to see his success.

Wow you're an idiot. "Think", she says, hahahaha.

Anyone know where I can dowload the english subs (in file format - srt) so I can rewatch with better quality?

Thanks for doing this! I'm very excited to be able to watch episodes 54-59 with these subtitles, even if incomplete.

Personally would recommend! Definitely a must watch if you like romance and fantasy dramas - this is on par to Eternal Love and Eternal Love of Dream for me, if not better. The male lead is adorable.

Why is the FL wearing lipstick in every scene, when supposedly pretending to be a boy? It's ridiculous.

I personally have no problem with it. You get the jist.

Well she's clueless from 20-22, which is long enough...

Only at episode 22, but really disappointed that they took a strong female character with military talent, who was willing to give up love and her life as a woman for her family and state, and in one episode made her jump off a cliff and forget everything, so that she can act like a clueless girl for a while.

The show being successful doesn't mean that no one can criticize it. Objectively, there's a lot of issues with this drama, including obvious plot holes and bad writing. That doesn't mean the show can't be enjoyable for many people, for other reasons.

So many issues here. Why would kissing still be a taboo in a relationship that has been ongoing for more than a year, where the two people live together. These guys look like they can barely handle having an arm around each other's shoulders, still. And what is with Wat pushing Time onto the bed super roughly?! Is that supposed to be romantic? The plot is really lacking. Why would the clubs be forced to practice next to each other? Why would Sarawat need to literally move out for 2 weeks and have no contact to fix this? Pretty disappointing. Good thing Sarawat is so hot.

People love it cause the main leads are both hot. Simple as that. The story is pretty lackluster but good looking dudes in love (sort of) will always get views.

Agree. Also, why would Sarawat need to literally move out for 2 weeks and have no contact. How does that fix the issue of the clubs practicing next to each other at all? It doesn't make sense.

Will have to wait as I'm not sure if it will be a happy ending or not. Other dramas with cold MLs and happy endings that come to mind are Le Coup de Foudre, Good Morning Call, Eternal Love of Dream, Ending Again, and Cheese in the Trap.

I'm really loving the ML in The Heiress, airing right now, and he gives me a similar vibe as the ML here.
