I’m only halfway through and I am glued to the screen. I’m so glad all the episodes were released in one go.

I really enjoyed this. Yang Mi is stunning and clever. Xu Kai is cute. Unsurprisingly I liked Tao Junhui a lot.
8/10

I really enjoyed it because it had two of my favorite drama tropes - a smart and always winning female protagonist and multiple love interests (even an obsessive weirdo who I oddly liked). All wrapped up nice and neat in 40 episodes.

GIVE ME MORE FROM THE ENDING! They didn’t even mention the kid’s name!
I LOVED this drama, heart and soul and multiple lifetimes and weddings and all. The only reason I can’t give it a 10 is for the above named reason. I really hope they give us extra like Eternal Love of Dream did.

Also, so ironic (and yet poetic) that this kid’s name is technically Mi Er? (Context: I’ve been obsessed with LYX’s Run Yu for years)

Where is everyone watching this? I heard episode 28 was out but I haven’t found it anywhere yet. The anticipation kills me :(

I was already likely to watch it anyway because of the main leads (I loved Love is Sweet) but the first episode has really intrigued me! I’m hoping watching while airing doesn’t torture me too much; I usually try to avoid doing this to myself but couldn’t resist the lure of these two. Also hope it keeps its momentum, so far no dull moments!

I watched the drama what feels like a century ago but seeing the sequel on Netflix made me super excited because while I only vaguely recall what happened in the drama, I do know that I really enjoyed it. And same goes for this film! There’s something about this couple that just keeps you going even at points where I was thinking the film was too long.

I was somewhat disappointed by the reveal but then the Joker made me happy again lol
I wouldn’t mind another season but I think we’ve put these guys through enough!

I didn’t finish Love and Redemption because I couldn’t handle how much suffering the male lead went through. I’m getting similar vibes here - should I just quit now?

Actually, now that you’ve said that, come to think of it, the YAMG couple didn’t have a child, though they did talk of having children.
Ah, well! A child isn’t necessary for a happy ending, I know, but it just seems like a cherry on top :)

I liked it but they really couldn’t give us a baby in the end? Always gives me heartwarming feelings when there’s a kiddo to carry on their legacy! Especially when Pu’er died and Lanxi only has ten years. Would have been a happier ending but I suppose seeing them together is really all I needed.

Also I don’t know if it’s just the effect of having seen You Are My Glory earlier this year but I just don’t get that deep love vibe from Yang Yang here like I did in YAMG. Only felt a friend vibe all the way between them. Maybe it’s just me.

I would happily drown in this man’s voice.

I was skeptical about watching this drama as I’m usually a hardcore romance kind of girl but this was super heartwarming to watch everyone’s journeys and see them overcoming their struggles. Also very satisfying when the villains get their due punishments. So glad I watched it. 9/10 from me!
Whoever styled Lee Soo Hyuk deserves a raise.

I’ve been intrigued by some YouTube videos of Joong Gil and Goo Ryun and really want to see how it plays out.
Do you think it’s worth watching the entire drama?

(I’m a big sucker for Lee Soo Hyuk)

I liked it! Darren Chen’s character was despicable; never thought that pretty face could be so terrible.

It’s a comparison that also struck me when watching Squid Game, particularly as it’s our generation who watched The Hunger Games with morbid fascination and now watching a similar story as adults.

What’s particularly chilling about THG is the age range used. In Squid Game, they’re all adults and arguably in a situation of their own creation for some (gambling debts, fraud etc). In The Hunger Games, they’re kids and it’s essentially a punishment for something that happened before they were even born but have to suffer for.

Great article and something I’m glad we’re talking about. I know BoF is nostalgic but man, GJP still makes me cringe to this day.

Thai lakorns are in an entire genre of themselves and seem to completely ignore the idea of consent…or of non-toxic relationships.

I think this is the perfect way of describing my feelings about this topic…

Watched Liar x Liar after reading this article - kept me entertained for the last two hours, thank you for the recommendation!

I can’t lie - it definitely kept me entertained for two hours.

Much like everyone else here it seems, I like it but am weirded out by the step sibling love. However, the good thing is they didn’t do much until they came clean to each other. If they had kissed or went further while still under the “Mina” pretense, I’d have been much more eked out.

Also, I don’t know if all parents, friends and (technically spurned) exes would be this accepting but the post credits scenes were adorable and a nice touch to finish on. Unsurprisingly, my heart aches for the second male lead; they just had so much chemistry.
8/10 from me!
