Your review is written well and I like how you balanced everything out I found it concise. I specifically love how you described Wen Yifan's character, your description resonated a lot with me. This drama clearly showed that it wasn't only Sang Yan who was her knight in shining armor that helped her weather through the storms but a big part of it came from her own self. I also agree with you about the 2nd couples romance, I actually like them as well but wasn't a huge fan of how their story was written. Nice 🌸

Your review is lovely. I resonated with what you had written here, it might have not been a lengthy one but you were able to capture majority of the dramas essence - most especially with your description about SangYifan's love, you caught the very depth of what made their love outstanding and rare. This is such a great review 🩵✨

that's alright too! afterall we have different taste and preferences at the end of the day.

💯

this is the very reason why I have refrained from watching any dramas ever since TFF ended I haven't picked up anything yet, I have been rewatching instead and told myself I will only pick up another drama once I am sure I will not have any bias to carry with me haha

You and me both saw this drama as different forms of creative artwork✨ which it is indeed.

This is exactly why in my review I wrote the title as 'A poetically crafted story that deeply captured the essence of an unconditional love and engraved it as a lasting imprint' but it's too long so I had to reduce it hahaha. TFF felt so much like a poem for me that no matter how many times I re-read it, I always find a new meaning and perspective.

Drama adaptations won't and will never be a hundred percent exact copy of the novel, there will always be changes bound to happen. I personally think that some of the changes they had made in the drama added more depth to the story, specifically the Hong Kong plot - I found it significant how Sang Yan pieced together Wen Yifan's past, he saw through her deepest scars and this made him realize how little he knows about his loved one ; on the other hand, this certain arc made Wen Yifan realize and learn to finally remove the mask she has long been wearing and allow the person whom she loved most to see the real her whom she had kept hidden. It allowed growth and realization for both these characters without having to downplay what they had been through.

Truly this drama has so much depth to it and has woven intricate details seamlessly that even through subtle acts or words there can be so many profound meanings. What I loved even more is how it not only depicted a sentimental setting but made these feelings very palpable as well.

Right. I wish more people tried to understand her. Both their love has always been equal.

I share the same thoughts as you, I always thought Yifan had feelings for Sang Yan since they were in high school there were many subtle hints that indicated it, however, because of what had happened to her, she had to suppress her feelings and their separation that rainy night in Beiyu was her trying to set her love free because she doesn't want to taint the beauty of it. Wen Yifan had always regarded Sang Yan as someone so precious and valuable that she wants to protect his shine and only give him the best of the world.

thanks ☺️

Just as how much Sang Yan played an important role in Yifan's life, Wen Yifan had also done the same for Sang Yan. I agree, his growth and what helped shaped him is also because of Wen Yifan. You and I share the same views, I also don't believe that he is not realistic, it's possible for a person to have some of the qualities that he embodies it just lies to ones willingness and persistence.

Yes, when he smiles. They didn't wear their shoes inside their house, they have a specific built-in area for their shoes and usually that is where they wear shoes and change to slippers not all over the house. This type of thing is common in some asian countries sorry if it's disgusting to you but this is normal for us and there's nothing disgusting about it. I think his character rather comes off a bit cold-ish in the early episodes as he keeps his cool, however, I don't think it is anything "expressionless". Bai Jingting's micro expressions were very evident throughout the whole drama run, he was even praised by cnetz for his performance here as Sang Yan especially during the emotional scenes. He is one of the very few actors I know who can cry realistically.

I couldn't agree more with you, the ending conclusion of a story is important as well, these days many directors/writers disregard this aspect but am glad this drama managed to be different and gave us this impactful and satisfying ending 🩵

it's pretty obvious by now their og comment screams it all

haha me too 😘🩵

They can edit all they want clearly shows how they are the type to blow things out of proportion and can't take disagreements. It's showing their hypocrisy as they are doing the same thing.

couldn't agree more with you especially on the last statement 🩵
