I'm a perfectionist so list like this makes me anxious since I need to finish it all to feel at ease. So I never keep PTW list for my sanity. I usually will read the synopsis and if the drama interest me, then I will watch it. And I could never lie to myself so despite I started watching drama without ever dropping them, I started to do that and it made me happier. Some dramas are absolute trash and I aint gonna spent my precious time watching them and feel frustrated lol.

I'm not alone! OSTs has always been one of the best things that made me enjoy dramas even more. And I actually obsessed with OSTs more than regular songs lol. Chinese lyrics are very more poetic that I keep a book to write those verses so it can remind me how a simple verses can be so beautiful and heartbreaking.
'Memories would be the wounds that will never heals'
is an example how imaginary Chinese lyrics in general. I love how they use things to describe feelings so I have been collecting these beautiful verses like pokemon lol

I think one of the most memorable OST in my book is probably 'Snow Flower' by Park Hyo Shin. I'm Sorry I Love You is the most heartbreaking dramas I have ever watched and this OST just made everything even heart-wrenching. I watched this drama decades ago and still remember how the OST made my heart hurt physically lol. Or 'Goodbye My Love' by Ailee from Fated to Love You. Oh my goodness, how this song not made anyone feel the sorrow? Its so beautiful in the most heartbreaking way.

I agree on Ye Xuan Qing. She is my favorite Chinese singer. She has like one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. Her The Eternal Love theme song; 'Nine-Part Rhythm' is still my absolute favorite. I'm so happy they bring back her theme song for the 3rd season. :D And Jason Zhang's 'Three Lives, Three Worlds'! I remember thinking its probably the best theme song in the history of Cdramas. 8D

You are right! I recognize many of the names from my times of watching Hong Kong dramas when I was small. It amazed me that they are willing to compete in this show despite being so veteran in the industry. :D

The ratings always went up after dramas finished. I always wonder why people rate dramas during its airing time when they havent watch the drama fully yet

I just finished Plot Love lol! What a coincidence. It wasnt as good as Unforgettable Love and I believe the writer is most likely is not a mother thus the child plotline is handled really terribly imo. But I enjoyed the drama though. The leads acts like a truly married couple in love and they spent most of the drama together and being in love even when he didn't remember her due to the accident.

One of the best sageuk in the history of Kdramas. I love the leads and they are perfect to their respective roles like a glove.

I really feel like putting Yi San in my pocket and protect him lol -- he deserved all the best thing in the world. ;_;

Have you watch this show? Because if you do, then the OP comment gonna annoyed you even more. Han Ji Min character in Yi San is literally one of the best example of strong female character in Kdramas. Her role is so memorable here that she remains one of my fave female characters ever in dramaland. She is strong yet she is gentle at the same time -- he helped the king with his pursuit of a better Joseon and she is his strength rather than his weakness.

I havent watch this yet but is this version is as good as Lee Seo Jin version of Yi San?

NOOOOOO! If most of the scenes are shot behind the green screen then the CGI must look fake. ;_; Its ok, I think I can survive it lol

IKR? A dream cast! :D

haha!

What is the original title?

Oh really? Then I will surely give it a try! :D But can I know what do you mean by old-style production quality?

I actually like how Yibo chose the direction of his career after The Untamed. Rather than acting as a lead in dramas, he prefers to be in productions with experienced actors despite he might not be the main lead. A good choice to make his name more well known for general public.

I followed the drama during its airing time and Hyeri gave an interview after the drama ended and told the audiences that Taek has always meant to be the end game by the writer. I forgot already all the signs in the drama but I did catch it after the 2nd viewing. It totally made me impressed with all the little signs since I really thought Junghwan is the hubby with the way the drama is structured.

I think among the signs is the drama started as an interview to the adult Deoksun. Who is among the leads who is famous enough to be interviewed? Only Teak as he is a famous Go player. And during the interview, we've seen the adult husband went out for smoke. Who is the only one who smoke in the gang? Again, only Teak. And both the young Deoksun & adult Deoksun keeps asking Taek to put wear more layers during winter (she never did this to anyone else). And not to mention Taek is left handed (Bogum in real life is right handed) just like the adult hubby unlike Junghwan who is a right handed. And the most damning proof is the date on the picture which was given early in the drama. The husband pointed out the picture date which is on the right side where in the drama, the date on Junghwan pic with Deoksun is on the left side.

This is incorrect as both the writer and Hye Ri confirmed that the writer has always intended that ending since the very beginning. Thats the brilliance of her writing -- her ability to misled the audiences with her script that made them think Jungyeol is the husband but when you watch the drama again for the 2nd time, you will notice all the little proofs that Taek is the hubby since the very beginning.

Teak character was modelled after a famous Go player (Lee Chan Ho?) which playing style is losing at the beginning and only win at the last minute just like Taek. You see in the drama how Junghwan has always been leading in pursuing Deoksun but then Taek come in the last minute and the rest is history.

Did Reply 1988 end game surprise you? In a way, the SL seemed to get the girl.

Can I know why you dropped Legend of Fei? I thought I want to give it a try since I'm curious to see Yibo in different role esp a light one as this article described.

I enjoyed My Heroic Husband but I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone lol.

But I esp LOVE Marry Me though. Its like a light drama which is full of fluff and made me really happy when I watch it. The whole production definitely on the high side as the sets are beautiful and expensive and the costumes are the best! Its a first time that I watched a costume Cdrama where the couple wear coupling hanfus and I super love it. :D

7/10 - Okay, I cried at the reunion scene in the last episode. It was so well done and in my opinion one of the best reunion scenes in dramaland. When I started the drama, I went from ‘Zhaolin, the things I do for you…’ to ended up enjoying the drama for real. This is a great story about brotherhood, friendship, forbidden love, responsibility, sacrifices, obsession and what one has to do for the greater good.

Thank you!
