Can't believe people want FL and her ex back together even though the man straight out told the reason why they weren't compatible. He's not capable of handling the level of stress she feels. He never thought he'd have to go through her pain like it was his. He considered himself a bystander who encouraged and supported her, that's it! He was breaking down when she started to show her illness to him. Seokryu hadn't even shown him how much she was hurting until she got depressed. And Seokryu too didn't realise that he was feeling helpless and suffocated because of it and instead blamed him. As she said, she's going to keep being paranoid, sick, afraid and unreasonable in the future and he can't handle that. Accepting that they're not what they need doesn't erase the fact that they truly loved each other.
So I watched ep 9 and 10 together and cried my eyes out! Damn! The writing is so brilliant. Seokryu is such a behemoth of a character which we've only been seeing a 2D facade of until now. I love all the characters so much. They're so painfully real that I can relate to all of them. Moeum acting all supportive and laughing in front of Seokryu then bawling on her way home broke me! Also her and Danho's teary kiss was so sweet I watched it multiple times! Ugh I'm all up in my feels now!
Wow how hurt must Seokryu have felt to see her mom favouring her brother because he was sick in the past! Even before the reveal at the end I still felt sorry for her because everyone can see that her mental health is deteriorating and she's also quite sick herself in that regard.
Zhang Wan Yi is so regal omg. The way he is so proper and elegant looks so natural, like he was born with noble blood in him. And his voice my god! He's young but he feels so manly. I dropped LYF after the first few episodes so I didn't have much of an impression of him but now I'm in love.
Bruh the way I had a very similar argument with my mom right before I watched today's episode! I related to it so much a laughed at the way mom and daughter made up because that's exactly how it happens!
I don't think I've seen a spin-off being confirmed before the main drama starts airing! This just shows how deep and multi-dimensional the characters may be. Well I'm definitely SAT for this!
Cheng Lei for this role is the most on-point casting I've ever seen. In fact if you bring his character from MJTY and drop him here it might work out too! I'm so excited omggg
Xu Kai dramas might but Tan Songyun dramas never miss! I'm happy I watched this. Xu Kai was so good here, his eyes do all the talking. This couple was so cute!
I'm sorry I feel like the cast wasn't a good fit for this story at all. Of course the actors are extremely talented but they did not suit these roles. As an avid reader and fanatic of Chinese palace intrigue books, I'm obviously aware that ages set by writer are quite young and don't match the actions and intelligence of the characters. This is mostly due to the time regression plots. But that doesn't translate well onto live-action. How am I supposed to believe that these baby-faced kids are scheming up storms and intimidating anyone? Especially the Crown Prince! Su Rongqing was convincing though, because I wanted to slap him at every moment.
Take THE DOUBLE for instance. Mature looking actors made that show! The characters were supposed to be teenagers but the director chose older-looking actors for the plot to seem convincing!
Suzy has an eye for choosing her dramas. How smart she is to star in While You Were Sleeping and Start Up, both of which have the best first episodes I've ever seen.
