Although I like Song Wei Long, I'm kinda offended for Victor Ma. I actually find him more attractive than the ML in Hidden Love, he can definitely play a lead role. Anyway, I probably need more context so I'll go and read the manhuas and novel
is this good so far? somehow YangYang for me is like LeeMinHo, they're both topstars and have big fanbase but for some reason their shows do not click with me.
DJX says in the drama when they started dating, they only have 5yr gap
There's no way that girl in the flashback is 14, and so is her whole class. They look 11 at best. And the way the script is in the next eps feels like she's close to 14 or 15, they don't treat her like someone who is supposedly 17 and close to adulthood.
I think somebody pointed out that they originally plan for a 7 year gap but changed mind post production and dubbed over some lines pertaining to their age. I hope they just stayed consistent with the original idea, instead of confusing audience.
ep6 now. It's so cute and feel good. But for my own sanity, to reconcile how FL looks and acts in these episodes, I'd say she was 11 in the flashback and then 15 the next time they met again. So make it 7 year age gap, I don't mind at all
She's 14 in the first episode (8th grade)Then in episode 2, she's 16 to 17 years (11th grade)While the ML is 19…
that explains it then, because I've already factored in the 'asian genes' and still those kids look nowhere like teens. Also episode 2 FL, I supposed, was originally meant to to be younger then? LuZi is baby face but she seems to be portraying way younger than 17.

Thank you. was wondering why they casted a much younger child actress. She's probably around 11 when they shot it, she doesn't look 14 at all. I heard some people comments on the age gap, I don't mind it, but kinda get how some would see it weird seeing adult ML and a child FL. Would probably have helped if they casted a more teenage looking actress for the flashback.
Kluen Cheewit is one of the first Lakorn I watched and back then I knew nothing about the Thai actors. Nowadays, I'm familiar with them and follow them mostly on social media. It feels a bit weird now knowing these two are engaged to their respective partners and also knowing how close the four of them are. haha I know they are great actors though, and I sure hope to see them as their characters and not their real life persona.
this season shld have never existed as it erased all the good things from Season1. Nevertheless, I don't think everyone is aware that this was an original story from the director. The original source (manga) wasn't updated yet when they filmed this. A pity as if they waited another year for the story to be completed, we could have gotten a better season 2.

finally done. This is one of the few dramas I finished ( I dropped so many even the ones I anticipated for month, ex TTEOTM :( ) ... so I can do say this is worth it. However, I wont go as far as saying this is a favorite. It has too many flaws. - too many fillers and side stories that do not contribute to the main plot, you cannot expect viewers to care and sympathize with the 1000 characters you try to squeeze in
- though the actors are good, the romance is weak. It didn't have the same chemistry, passion, angst and desperation the maincouple has in LBFAD (from the same author). Here TY and YH feels more like siblings or close friend
-they made the plot complicated at times then conveniently simple here and there.I know xianxia genre allows writer imagination to go wild but a lot of things didn't really make sense and kinda pulled the story in a different trajectory.
-the biggest weakness for me is how flat the 'main struggle' is. It's basically just good fighting the bad. There is no internal struggle within the characters. The villains were kinda cartoonish and one dimensional. I actually thought the ChangLan arc is gonna be great, the guy had a good backstory. But no, they threw it all away and chose to make him just a flat villain. And don't get me started with SuYing. All in all, I really like when stories are more than black and white. With this one, they had increase the quantity in 'villains' rather than just stick with one and made that character more complex.
- Bai Xiaosheng character is also not fully utilize in my opinion. He started of great, then some development and then just left open. I kinda get a feel as if the writer started on great few chapters then just gave up and abandoned the story. A pity as it didn't sustained the level of greatness for me.
one of the main characters "dying" and then mysteriously coming back to life years later with absolutely no explanation.…
are they strict with reincarnation ban? because iirc, in Ashes of Love it is apparent that FL got reincarnated after 500yrs and she still has memory intact. And they didn't try to hide this in the drama adaptation.
ep31 now. it's getting intense. I just found out this is from the same author of LBFAD and Blue Whisper. I didn't care much for Blue Whisper (tho I adore Reba), but LBFAD is one of my all time favorites. I think BFTB sits in the middle for me, it has so much potential but I guess the biggest weakness is the convoluted plot, side quests(fillers) and specially the one dimensional villains. Nevetheless, I find myself still watching as it did manage to make me care about the maincouple and secondML.
I can't seem to find complete english chapters

so you're saying ep2 (when she helped her brother move things to the dorm) she's 17?
The child actress looks about 11 or 12? and how old is she supposed to be now in ep2?
I know they are great actors though, and I sure hope to see them as their characters and not their real life persona.

I'm on ep27 now, but do we get an episode on to show how TY even fell for Suying in the first place?
and btw, it cracks me up whenever the dark lord appears with his thick pale unblended makeup 😆
