The reason why I started watching this and that drama as well is because of her. She really does look like a whole new person in 'Love & Bid Farewell' and they even had her voice dubbed. It's also my first time seeing her styled in such a way and I must say it really suited her better, the darker colors, compared to how she is styled here and her other dramas where she always wore bright clothings, plus her make up in that other drama was able to highlight more of her beauty, so as much as I like this drama, the styling for the fl in the other drama is better. I'm loving both dramas so far, I kept switching between these two dramas as I wait for next ep, thankfully, I don't get the storyline mixed up. I def prefer the ML here though such a green flag!

I agree with you, this is also the first time for me to be able to relate deeply to a character similarly as 'Seok Ryu'. I guess this is one of the main reasons why I love this drama so much. Some of its tropes might not be new but it has its own depth in terms of allowing viewers to connect with and I find that to be most refreshing and all the more worthwhile. Same, i'm excited to see her find her dream and progress her relationship with Seung Hyo as well. I am a fan of childhoood romance trope but I def still agree with you, the foundation of their childhood friendship is so meaningful.

same! this drama deserves all the hype and high rating!

I cried again at some scenes in today's latest episode. This drama just keeps getting better and better. I don't care if it is still too early to say this but it exceeded my expectations. I love how this depicts so much 'reality' where viewers who are adults now could easily and emotionally relate to what the characters has somewhat dealt with at some point of the drama, as just like them, we were all once passionate youths. I'm also loving the chemistry both in romantic and comedic aspects between the leads and couldn't wait for their progress. The second couple is kinda cute too. Despite how many times Seung Hyo and Seok Ryu might be playfully bickering or just plain unserious with each other, it tugged at my heartstrings how the background story which the writer depicted for the two characters emanated a lot of warmth. They were both always there for each other, no matter what. There may be scenes here that are definitely not new and are pretty common in the romcom world but I manage to find these scenes beautiful and couldn't help feel butterflies. This drama can really bring out roller coaster of emotions by just watching one episode. I can't hardly wait for the whole story ahead to unfold.

I wish they drop all the eps already, the waiting game for next ep is killing me with all the angst built up

ikr, the ml character reminds me so much of the one in goodbye my princess they are both serious red flags but I feel the ml character here is even more of a red than the one in good bye my princess haha

He is the first actor in short cdramas whom I started to really like. I noticed he is good with facial expressions too plus his smile is pretty, one of the reasons why I dropped other short dramas I come across to was because the actors lack facial expression or either they seem unnatural that they fail to convey emotion in my pov. Hope he takes on regular drama projects soon, he'll def be popular!

I just started watching the tale of love and loyalty today and will def watch deliberations of love right after (I watched the trailer). Tbh, this made me wonder why I never discovered his works before, think he must be underrated? like I've seen dramas like 'flame bride' for example get so much attention though I dropped this as it was not my taste...anyway, tysm for this! appreciate it!

thank you so much! I just started the tale of love and loyalty today!!! I might finish this within a day.

thank you for this! I'll def try them all out!!

I'm not really into short dramas, whenever I try to watch one, I would usually drop instantly at the first few episodes because I either couldn't stand the acting or the storyline is super cringe or fast paced. However, it is a different case this time and I am so glad I gave this a shot. I'm familiar with the FL as I have watched her previous dramas but this is the first time I have seen the ML. All I could say is the acting and plot for this drama is on a different level, it is as interesting as the actual/regular dramas. The male lead is so handsome and I love how the lines and interactions exchanged between the two leads are not so cringey. Like, I could withstand the cliches. I guess this is the first short drama that I would be able to completely finish all the way up to the end of it.

p.s I actually want to watch another short drama of 'Richard Li' but I don't know if it would be as good as this one. So, I'd like to ask for some recommendations....I wanted to watch his other works while I wait for the next latest ep of this hehe

my ult bias, hoping you comeback to acting world with even better drama/movie projects who takes on diverse roles as an actor, can't wait for you to finish your enlistment!!

I am actually starting to lose interest in this drama, it started out good for me during the first few episodes but the storyline just got a lot messier. Was it really necessary to have the ML brother fall for the FL as well?.... and the story pace is getting a lot slower, that I wanted to skip a few scenes. I'll wait and see about the next episode since I am curious about what really happened between Lee Goon and Shin at the bridge before he lost his memories. Although, I might just drop this.

same! I got the same feels as well...I was thinking she'd be the typical k-drama mother like 'here take my money and leave my son alone' hahaha

Telling the truth might be 'easy' for others but not the case for some, like her. In ep 2, there were scenes that clearly showed or hinted how she was raised. She was basically her mother's 'pride and glory', she even took on part time jobs just to buy her mother that golden brooch (indicating how much she wanted to spoil her mom with all the nice stuff because she knew her mom loves it), she worked hard at such young age and was seen as a very dedicated person that she secured a scholarship and job in the US. She was seen as someone 'hardworking and successful' especially in her mother's eyes. Her mother bragged so much about her to everyone, until one day she lost it all, her job and fiancé. She basically grew up carrying her mother's expectations towards her and when faced with such circumstances she feels like a failure, she would rather tell a lie to make the situation that she faced seem better for her family rather than telling them the hurtful truth. It is her defense mechanism. It's even harder knowing how her mother is like. I do think her parents will learn about the truth in further episodes. Also, as someone raised in an asian household, I relate to her character the most, which is why I understood her actions.

Jung Haein is such a natural. Just completed watching two episodes and after seeing his 'comedic side', couldn't help myself but commend him. It is so refreshing to see this new side of him in a drama as i've been used to his serious roles in the past. It made me wish he had taken on this type of roles sooner or please take more of this kind of roles in the future because he is winging it.

I can't believe my standards are about to be raised again, from baek hyunwoo, ryu sunjae and now choi seunghyo....this year really fed us with top-tier and green-flag characters <3

First episode and the chemistry between Jung-Jung couple is already on fire! would definitely recommend a 'must watch' for romcom lovers. I love their bickering and antics so much. Had been looking forward towards these two and as expected of top-tier actors they never disappoint.

8.5/10 for me. I liked the beginning of the story as it got me hooked but as I watched further episodes, right at the middle of the plot, I started to lose interest in it. I have been a fan of xianxia dramas and had watched plenty, though each are different and have a unique charm of their own, this has been a bit of a downer for me, maybe because there were so many scenes where they searched for 'items' after 'items' that it became an endless hunt for that, so it kinda lost the feel for me. The character build up is just so-so. The ML is supposed to be 'God of Chaos' and was expecting him to become even more powerful after he became Yuan Qi but it felt as if his powers remained same as when he was Ah Jin. Although, I get that part of it was because of his selflessness but still. The only build up I liked is the FL as Pheonix Queen and honestly wished Ah Yin could have been Feng Yin sooner. Like I needed more of her scenes. As for the villains of the story, they were clever but dumb at the same time (insert my hate for peacock clan since AOL). The actings of the casts and chemistry between the leads and all four of them together were good but wish the storyline could have been a bit more better.

Exactly, funny how we aren't even in the middle or climax of the drama yet, just right at the beginning where not much colors about the characters are portrayed at full ultimate yet. For me though, he is actually doing pretty well, his goofiness and seriousness is what pulled me to continue watching this plus the evident chemistry between him and his fl.

4 episodes in one day, so far so good...the plot is interesting and fresh plus the funny scenes between both leads are worth the watch, i'm definitely staying until the end to watch how this all unfolds...does any one have an idea how many episodes they will release each day?
