Hi Nath! My friend, @insideout91, told me you created this thread and I just wanted to pop in to say hello as your art fan! (have purchased stuff from you before on etsy!) Anyway, she was telling me of your wonderful discussion/thread here for LYF. I actually chose not to watch the drama since my heart was already broken from the novel and especially that epilogue.
I saw that you had also read 40SomethingAhjumma's post about the reverse harem, and when I saw your name, I got so excited. It's hilarious that we're all on the same boat, and I am just grateful to my friend, and to the supporters here who love XL. When I read the novel, it was just me, none of my friends were reading it, and I felt so alone, especially thinking, how could Jing be the end game, and me grieving over XL. I don't know if you've seen LOVE LIKE THE GALAXY, but I was telling my friend that imagine if the female lead there chose another character instead of the one-true-pairing...we'd get a repeat of this LYF chaos. After reading 60% and dropping it after I knew who the end game was in LYF, I remember telling my friend, "the story has also lost me forever." LOL
Anyway, in seeing the music videos of TJC bringing to life XL was incredible even just the moments. The quirk of his lips to the flicker of his eyes says so much without saying anything at all. I am blown away by the actor's calibre and he truly embodies XL as in the books. I look forward to see him as lead with a good, happy ending filled with a lifetime of happiness and love, in another place and time.
