Thank you. Your words made me feel better 🥰

I heard they cut 10 episodes from 66 to 56. But tbh, I will not realize the cut scenes if no one tell me about that. LLTG flow of stories are still very stable. Personally, I found the ending is good. They sealed the ending with kiss. They also had peacefully family gathering in military camp. We just need the wedding next for this CP.

I understand your point. But from last Coroner's Diary review. She boils my blood successfully. Plus her blind fans supported whatever she said without watching it by themselves. She was overhyping ADWAD and dragging other dramas down at the same time.

I can't help but watching it because youtube algorithm always make her video appear on the top in my homepage 😑 and it's played automatically.

Basically her review ruined drama watching experience for many people. I know it's all subjective but it's too much for sensitive person like me.

She also slaughtered The Wanted Detective in the same video 😑

Actually that's all subjective matters. Personally, I found that many Cdramas keep staying great from beginning until the end such as Love Like The Galaxy, Blossom, The Double, Story of Kunning Palace, The Glory, Kill Me Love Me, The Prisoner of Beauty, Coroner's Diary, ADWAD, and etc.

And again, AvenueX slaughtered LOTFG so badly in her review video 😑

Coroner's Diary is far better than this one. ML and FL also worked together in CD.

This is Manchurian dynasty. That's why the hairstyle is like that.

If you want LONG HAIR for men, then you should watch Han Chinese-led dynasties costume dramas. Many costume dramas were set in Han Chinese-led dynasties such as Qin, Han, Song, Tang, Sui, Ming, Three Kingdoms era, Northern-Southern Dynasties, etc. They all have long hair for men.

Then, you should watch "Hard to Find". It was written with the same screenwriter (Zhao Lin) of A Familiar Stranger and Butterflied Lover.

The ML is Zhao Yi Qin from Butterflied Lover!

I highly recommended Hard to Find. It's so tragic, beautiful and intense.

She looks like Wan Peng

No problem. I love to give more recommendations to many people.

Hard to Find and Love & Bid Farewell have sad ending. But if you watch both of them (especially Hard to Find), you will understand why the writer decided to give tragic ending. There is no other choice in their situations.

Open ending = Dawn is Breaking, Butterflied Lover.

But many people translated Dawn is Breaking ending as happy ending. The ML was cured from poison and FL lived happily with ML until the end. It's like The Glory type of ending. We need to interpret them as happy ending but there is hidden clue about sad ending as well. If you want happy ending, then just ignore it. Basically, the production team wanna please both sides.

Butterflied Lover is more complex. The ending is more about TWIST. It's mind blowing and I can't spoil it for you. Hehe.

The rest of the dramas that I mentioned have happy ending.

They have two kisses. One accidental kiss in ep 15, and one ending kiss in ep 30.

Some of them, yes.

You can try to search the titles in your WeTV region.

Love & Bid Farewell, To Love or To Defy, Love in a Dream, Fortune Writer, Provoke, Love Behind The Mask, etc. They can be watched in WeTV.

There are many more great short dramas. Let me know if you need more recommendations from WeTV.

Do you know the news about The Golden Hairpin and Love's Ambition? Why Tencent still delay those dramas release? Especially when Zhao Lusi is in the peak of her popularity now with live streaming. Tencent should release Love's Ambition soon.

English is not my first language. So I misunderstood your sentence. But some other ppl maybe think the same like me because your statement is too complex.

Oh i am so surprised that Youku bring this one for summer slot. It will face Moonlit Reunion head to head.

Chinese dramas have a lot of kisses. And The Double also have some kisses in the drama. Yes other costume dramas have more passionate kissing scenes like Story of Kunning Palace kisses, The Prisoner of Beauty kisses, and etc. But The Double still have some soft kisses indeed. Duke Su and XFF also have wedding kiss in ep 40.

I don't understand why you said something like there is no kiss in The Double. It could be misleading to new audiences especially your review is the upper one.

There is romance and kisses between ML and FL. They even get married in ep 20.

I am sorry but your words are a bit too much/trigerring for some people. I am a Christian. Protestant to be exact. Don't say something like that too lightly. Please respect the Christianity.

I noticed that since 2023/2024, many short dramas put higher budget to create decent costume dramas. Their cinematography is very close or even in the same level with full length dramas. Usually, the duration is around 15-20 mins.
