Thanks for the links! I'm definitely ready for the romance to heat up between our main couple. I understand where you are coming from regarding the general discussion. It has been rather disheartening to see so many posts denigrating the romance development of the main couple. From reading the posts, I gather that the romance between the main couple in the source novel was not very satisfying. I hope that the MC romance in this drama version will be more satisfying. Looking at the clips you posted, I am encouraged. Hopefully this can be a safe space for positive discussion of the romance elements for this drama version.

The drama follows the novel closely but I feel the drama portrays the leads as loving each other in both lifetimes. The misunderstandings and lack of communication led to destruction. I am watching their actions in the drama. I want to focus on their character development and how they evolve as a couple. I can see Li Rong was interested in PWX's every move. She was angry with him when she thought he killed her but she was not angry with SRQ. She even said she pitied him and didn't feel any discomfort around him. Yet with PWX, she is so emotional and passionate. This why I feel she loved PWX in both lifetimes. She needs to admit it but before she does, she has to learn to trust him completely. 

I am trying ignore the comments about LR and SRQ as lovers. It takes away from the  romance. I understand it happened in the novel and maybe implied in the drama but I cannot imagine the FL in that way. I can see that the emotional attachment to SRQ formed a special bond in her previous life but if she loved him then, she would have been more upset now hearing he killed her.
