I don't want to say how many times I watched AASOL 😂

I am still confused as to what Dashing Youth has to do with the bonus episdoe of TPR. But okay. Enjoy Dashing Youth!

Thank you! I will go read it now.
As for LR and SRQ's relationship, if PWX refused the women sent to him because it didn't feel right, why did she not remain faithful to him? And you know I have been singing her good points in the drama but I dislike what I have read in the book about her relationship with SRQ in her previous life. I had to activate delete and block part of my brain so I could enjoy the drama. And I also had to separate previous from past in this aspect and watch them in the now.

By the way, there is a bonus episode coming soon. Don't forget to check back for that.

Well written. I love that you touched on the novel vs. drama. I also checked on parts of the novel to enhance a few scenes. There were a few times I did and wished I had not because there were details about LR's previous life with SRQ that took away from the romance. I rather think of her the way I see her in the drama. While I can understand the book readers' frustration, I watched the drama for the drama and rated it as such. I agree with those who wished there was less of SRQ in the final episode because I would have liked to have seen more of the main leads. However, like you, I did not lower my ratings because of it.

I felt pity for SRQ at the end even if I wished they had closed his story faster so we could have seen the grand wedding and more closure on the cp. But I get the directors want their glory and the fire scene is supposed to be a huge exit.
I didn't read the novel but from flashbacks and reading a few chapters of the novel, I think LR always loved PWX. She never loved SRQ but she had feelings for him having spent a large part of her life with him in the previous life. He was pitiful. Even though I didn't like his character and found him annoying, I still felt some pity for him. It is a shame viewers were so upset over SRQ's screen time and what they feel was preferential treatment by the director that they have downrated this drama. ZLH was amazing in this. He had me loving PWX from the start and portrayed his character in such a way I could see the different layers of his character's personality and recognize his intellect.

I feel the same about ZLH. I know he was great in SOKP, but it was here in TPR that he totally stood out for me. He made me love PWX. I am looking forward to his future dramas.

I love the cp in TPR! And the ML is wonderful. I love him!

Are you saying you now believe there is a bonus episode? I wasn't sure if you were talking about TPR or Dashing Youth because you put i in one sentence.

LOL! I laughed when I saw that comment. Who knew my mission to spread some love for the drama would identify me as a bot! I would tell my family this story but they already think I am obsessed with Cdramas.
The ratings have dropped again. I feel as if sweet PWX has been beaten up for the hate of SRQ. I came into this excited because Jin Mai is an actress who never disappoints. I liked ZLH as well and both are good looking so Win Win! I came out loving ZLH so much for his portrayal of PWX. I am going to rewatch SOKP and looking forward to his future endeavors. I hope he gets to costar with Lusi or Zhang Jing Yi and I am happy there is a strong possibility of seeing him with Mai Mai again.

I have only read a few specific chapters in the novel so I do not have the same perspective of the novel readers but I understand the frustration especially as some like yourself have taken the time to explain. I would read the novel in full but I'm not too fond of certain parts of the novel concerning LR and SRQ in the previous life. It spoils the romance. I rather remember the PeiRong the way I see them in the drama. Even if the screenwriter left out parts of the novel that showed LR's love for PWX, I was convinced and fully invested by ep 11 in their love for each other. However, I would like to read the brothel part. It is really a shame that was left out.

If you want to read about the sport, there is an amazing member who posted a detailed commentary on all the different categories. It is at the top of the AASOL page but here is the link: https://kisskh.at/discussions/during-the-snowstorm/123315-snooker-nine-ball-and-the-billiards-universe?pid=2965625&page=1#p2965625

I watched this while it was airing and this was one of the most enjoyable forums. I hope all the new viewers are enjoying AASOL.

Thank you for your response. I was using my phone and for some reason it is so difficult typing into MDL. This problem started recently where there is delay. I don't know if it is my phone of MDL but it is only in the forums and not in messages that I have this problem. Now I keep my answers to the bare essentials when using my phone.

I just had two people tell me that this is a fraud and that it is impossible for there to be a bonus episode as the drama clearly had an ending. Since you are saying it is in the YOUKU app, this is real, right? 😂

There is a trailer for it on youku but we will see.

Jin Mai was great in this and her collaboration with ZLH is one which made this good for me. It was a pleasure to watch them.

Don't leave. I was called a bot and I am still here 😂

The trailer showed the leads and the kids. I know these bonus episodes are no more than 5 or 10 mins but I would hope more.

I might rewatch SOKP. I liked ZLH in it but it is in TPR where I really came to love him more. It is too bad the screenwriter did not include more of who PWX was from the novel. I didn't read the novel but I read comments from novel readers about some parts of his story that was not included. However, ZLH managed to portray the essence of PWX even if there were just glimpses of him in character as the prime minister or of a man with a purpose in business.
There are some new dramas coming out soon. We will have to wait a while for ZLH though, but we can always rewatch our favorites.

The Double is one of the dramas I enjoyed immensely. I am hoping to see WXY in a more romantic drama but even so, his charisma in The Double is something special 🔥 He is younger than the actress but he has a presence that somehow makes it work.

As for the comment you saw about me, I have already seen it and had a good laugh. It was so funny! I have never even spoken to that person and don't even remember seeing his name. But he obviously saw me 😂 I know my "PR" of LR and PWX is somewhat annoying to some especially as it goes against what they are saying but I had this need to inject some positive thoughts for TPR which has made me smile and so eager to see the next episode. This does not mean I do not understand that we all have differences. I just wish there had been more of a balance. Thank you for reaching out💗
