is this even love ?

Background story:
XF the legitimate son of heavenly emperor and empress therefore is loved and cared by everyone. He can have anything and everything he wants, also he holds the military powers bcoz of his legitimacy basically he has Freedom to everything.
On the other side RY being an illegitimate son of emperor, he is not the favoured child and doesn’t have the right to even chose or express his wishes basically not privileged, not only that but if RY doesn't lay low he will be killed. Also, RY is engaged to the daughter of Water and Immortal 4000yrs back and is waiting for that person.
Both XF and RY encounter JM "the daughter of late floral immortal and water Immortal" (due to a pill she is incapable of falling in love with someone) in different circumstances though XF didn't fell for JM at first but helped her escape Floral realm, sheltered her in Heaven Realm and bullied her at the same time but later on fell for her Beauty (after she wore a pretty dress) unlike RY who liked her from their first meeting. After JM identity as the daughter of water immortal and RY's fiancé revealed, we can guess how it goes........

But after watching the entire drama i didn't felt the Love part between XF and JM, it felt more like an Infatuation and forcefully wanting to prove it as Love:
1. After that beauty transformation of JM, somehow XF started to see all of JM's actions in a romantic way that too when he is very well aware of the fact that she doesn't know gender differences neither socially well equipped.
I read so many comments claiming that JM isn't some consolation price which RY can have but she belongs to XF just bcoz he met her first, is JM an item for XF?. XF can kiss a drunk JM under the impression that she is his sister isn't sexual assault?
Not only that but XF bullied JM in the initial eps by trapping her in stools and make her do maid stuffs etc however all that is treated as comical but if the same thing is done by RY then what ??

2. If XF really wanted to redeem for what his parents did then he should have helped RY in getting the happiness he deserved rather he kept his own happiness first. XF can only pity RY but he will never do anything beyond his limits like he did for JM by threatening his own mother.

3. I still remember in one episode RY cleared that JM like means in a normal way not in a romantic way in front of Floral chiefs and XF but still after JM accepted the engagement XF did not stopped pursuing JM? Instead XF manipulated JM during Mortal trial with the help of Moon Immortal ( A fate deity who is responsible for the love and marriage of any mortal couple) however, in the end JM only thinks that RY manipulated her but what XF ??

4. If RY had followed JM in the mortal realm, will moon immortal would do the same? Tie him with her then ofc she will fall in love with RY since, Moon Immortal has the power to manipulate mortal couples. Also XF tampered with JM redemption but still pardoned why ??? As he is the legitimate son, bcoz I m damn sure RY wouldn’t have the same pleasure due to his birth.
XF could have protected JM without actually becoming a Mortal as our beloved XF doesn't follow rules or cares about it...... so. i believe XF just wanted to have some uninterrupted romance with JM....so much efforts... bcoz in the end it was RY who saved JM the very reason for which XF went to mortal realm ohhh i m sure he isn't interested in it. BTW if Muci had killed JM in her early teenage or before that then what was the use of following JM?

5. The basic foundation of love is trust and understanding, JM stayed so long with XF but still he doesn't know a thing about JM even when XF is aware of the fact that JM doesn't know gender differences or for her meaning of love doesn't mean in a romantic manner still he never tried to know why is that and considered each of her actions as a romantic gesture also, they both claimed to love each other but when the time required them to trust each other they choose the opposite. XF planned to have sex with JM after learning about the marriage date that's why he used Alcohol that too while RY was mourning for his mother, this is just about desiring someone intimately not loving....

6. JM was only unable to fall in love but wasn't mentally challenged but still acted like she doesn't get anything. If she is capable enough to trap empress in her own game then how come she doesn’t know what she is doing when it comes to XF's matter.
RY never confirmed XF being the killer it was JM who learned about Internal Alchemy and moon Immortal helped her understand it better but still in the end she pushed all the blame on RY. If RY was behind that then why she didn't take revenge the moment she learned about the dream being real but instead she waited for 3 yrs to kill XF ...

7. XF never stood up for RY when he is already aware of the fact how RY is being treated by Empress. You are actually making someone live like hell for thousands of years are u a monster and those who watched it what they are..? Parents does everything for the sake of their kids security and future so, if XF never agreed with what his Mother then why he never stopped her?? XF consent is irrelevant unless he is in his right conscience mind to stand up against the Injustice towards his own brother.

8. why JM only knows about her mother's death but not how the emperor raped his mother ???

Though the show did a lot in trying to depict that JM chose XF on own her own free will but it turned out to be a biggest lie bcoz she was manipulated by Moon Immortal and XF to make her fall in love.

Therefore I can’t really say whether it’s even a love story or not? Love and responsibility r equally important, otherwise why water immortal would will live after the death of floral immortal so, many things just doesn't makes sense. Anyways my complaints won’t end, very disappointed with this show. Somewhere it’s very easy for everyone to say that they understand someone’s pain and suffering but in reality they don’t understand at all, it’s just a notion to satisfy themselves. Highly overrated show, i guess it's bcoz the leads r famous unlike leo yunxi …I m sure if the roles r reversed then there reasons and logics would change along with the character they support.
Acting skills:
Deng lun : he is a good actor but in this show his character was quite dull bcoz it doesn’t have much growth.
Leo yunxi: for a new comer, he looked very natural and i m really impressed with his acting…..specially his voice.
HE OWN THIS DRAMA .
Yang zi : I really didn’t like her acting much except for 2/3 scenes and her character was quite annoying in most part of the show.

It’s my personal opinion, no one has to agree with it...(subject to editing )

This show is just like a wish come true. After watching Shawn Dou in princess agents and Tiffany Tang in Weiyoung, I really wished to see them together in a show as the main couple with happy ending .
Plot: In short the story is about SJ, a wife and a would be mother. After the accident SJ wakes up and realise that, she was transported 10 years back in the past. Now she tries her best to save her family and friends from the bad fate which awaits them, along with it she tries her best to win her husband “YJC” back with a hope that after uniting with YJC everything will go back to its original place. This drama is very simple not much complicated one and I really love the chemistry between Shawn and Tiffany all of their memories were so adorable but I also liked Tiffany’s chemistry with Yang Shou.
Characters:
SJ : I really love her character, she is cute, intelligent and a supportive person moreover her undying love for YJC. After her transportation into the past, she tries her best to find YJC but she also remember that currently he is in a relationship with SXJ. Without thinking much she found YJC and did her best to stay by his side for 2 reasons, first is her hope to get everything back to its original place and secondly she wanted to be a part of YJC’s struggling period bcoz in future SJ mets YJC when he was already well settled in his career. Therefore, what she was doing was not weird for her bcoz he is her husband, they have a lot of memories together including her pregnancy. She is not a stalker or an obsessed person, she just wants her love and husband back the way it was including her pregnancy.
Stalking means u keep all record of someone’s daily life and obsession is where if u don’t get the person u love, you would either try to destroy them or kill them, which SXJ did. After YJC broke up with SXJ bcoz of her controlling nature, she ruined YJC’ future and career to make YJC realise that without her family name his talent will not be acknowledged by anyone neither he will be able get any position on his own.
I agree that at some point I felt that SJ should let the time arrange everything but every time she tries her best to stay way from YJC, fate brings them together which gives her the sign that they are fated and she can’t give up. SJ is such a generous person❤️????..... since SJ was fully aware of what’s gonna happen in the future, SJ tries her best to prevent such things from occurring even though she was criticised for it but she still helped them which resulted in change of their fate specially her mom and wenwen’s fate. I know u can’t tell someone to restrain them self becoz of the future they r not aware of but there is also a saying that “prevention is better than cure“, so she was not totally wrong to make sure that they don’t face the same painful fate. But the only thing annoyed me is when SJ was giving hopes to YJC on the basis of his future, that was totally wrong u can’t tell someone to believe that he/she will have a good career but do nothing for it just let the time do it.
After YJC dies, I really don’t mind her moving on with YP. YP is a good person and he loves SJ unconditionally, also he is the one YJC trust’s completely. Honestly in the end she did some crazy things just bcoz she believed that it will take her back to the future and YJC, which is very lame. SJ wanted her mom to have a new life but she didn’t want the same for herself why ? Sometimes when u didn’t get the happiness u wanted, try giving happiness to others and may be, u will be able to live happily again.
YJC: He is such a dedicated guy but it was a bad fate that he met SXJ first instead of SJ otherwise the struggle and embarrassment he faced even after being so talented won’t be there just bcoz he broke up with SXJ. Even after YJC career was destroyed, he did everything he could for SJ to support her mom’s surgeries. But instead of being cured it got spread, SJ wants best treatment for mom which can only be done in England but YJC doesn’t have the financial stability to support her but YP has, he was left with no choice but to gave up on her so she can take YP’s help in getting the best treatment for her mom. YJC also knows that YP’s love for SJ, he wanted SJ to get a good life unlike him. I really cried seeing YJC, he wants to be with her but the condition he is in, he can’t help her so the only thing he can do is to let her go to YP , who can give her the best.????????
YJC and YP doesn’t have any difference when it comes to loving SJ and talent but the only thing different is their status.
YP: I really love his character as YP and the way he loves SJ without expecting anything in return is just amazing. I really loved that scene when SJ came and told him that, taking his help makes her feel like she is using him and YP replied that he wants to be used by her. YP has the power and status, further he is very smart to not be fooled by anyone specially his uncle “YQ”. Honestly I knew it’s not possible between YP and SJ bcoz SJ was someone’s wife, from the beginning their was no chance for him except in the end when YJC dies. The only time I really felt very sad is when it was shown that he remembers everything that’s was cruel..???? but I don’t understand how did that happened? Bcoz I thought in the future YP won’t remember anything, for him it will be like nothing happened.
We know that in reality she is not TIME TRAVELLING ????, but I don’t mind bcoz if it’s about time travelling then it won’t be different. The only thing is, if they wanted her to wake up it would have been so much better to show that she was in flight with YP for some other reason then they met with the accident and she realise it’s similar to the one she had faced then she helps YP and wakes up, she realise that everything is back to it’s original place while YP doesn’t remember anything at all.
Really satisfied with the drama and it’s ending. All the cast did an amazing job in portraying their characters.
Acting Skill: Tiffany Tang , Shawn Dou and Yang Shou, no need to say they all are splendid actors.
Rewatch Value: definitely yes, in future

I was afraid to start this show bcoz of so many negative comments ...but glad i didn't listened to them and gave it a shot ...for me this show deserves a 9.5 ....0.5 deducted for rushed and confused ending.
As per the initial introduction they already cleared that the story is related to 5 kingdoms. And i m really happy that in each kingdom there is a different story waiting for u ...otherwise it will be very boring to see the same story through out 66 eps.
I really enjoyed each and every episode, every episode is very good but there are few eps which r even more amazing and well portrayed in terms of emotions .....
The LEADS chemistry is SPEECHLESS ....i could feel each and every emotion be it happiness, sadness, crying, jealousy and agony .... i know each and every drama has some + points and some -ve points .....but when it comes to legend of fuyao -ve pts didn't even cross my mind like i really dont care even if its there bcoz for me it doesn't matters. I had sleepless nights bcoz i was so much drawn into this drama and couldn't stop ...it took me 4 days to complete this drama.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
MIND-BLOWING AND FABULOUS DRAMA .
This my #no1chinesedrama till now ...until i find something better than this one....
Well one thing is definitely clear, never judge any drama on the basis of others recommendation or their theory always first watch the drama by urself and then make ur own decision and theory ...<3

I started this show bcoz the Drama Name was quite unusual which usually turns out to be the most amazing drama and I can bet this show is definitely the #showoftheyear2020 with a great and deep message. I m so glad i watched this out of random searching about thriller shows. Kudos to the whole Team and Cast of NOBODY KNOWS.
Usually in a crime thriller show which is based on a serial killing keeps revolving around the murders only and everything is directly related to it but this show really did a SPLENDID/MIND-BLOWING job in connecting the whole murder story through other characters, Specially relating it with KEH the one who is so closed to CYJ.
All the characters are so well written and the Cast really portrayed it so amazingly, Hats off to them.
Everything is so good about this show, the bond between CYJ and KEH, BSH madness & his accomplice , SSW who is Blinded by his superstitious belief, Mr Hwang's care and generosity, support from CYJ team, KEH relationship with his frndz and LSW trust and care for CYJ & KEH.

I always believe that a child's future can be shaped by the person who brought him/her up be it a parent or any guardian that's the reason when a kid makes a mistake the parents/guardian are the one who gets the blame for not teaching their kids properly but i also believe that with maturity the kidz become responsible to understand and realize whether something is right or wrong and they should act accordingly.
In this show BSH, he suffered so much abuse as a child bcoz of the insanity of SSW, which made him insane too but he had a choice to confess to police about SSW and could have lived a different life but instead he chose the wrong path to commit a crime in order to get the deal, which will change his future and will end his sufferings too.
whereas, KEH had CYJ, KEH with his nature and guidance from CYJ turned out to be a very different person who is reliable, sensible and understanding. Its not that KEH didn't suffered but he has an aid which is always by his side i.e CYJ, thus creating a special bond between them.
I can really understand how frustrated and upset CYJ must have felt when she was told that her frnd died Instead of her or the situation could have been different if she had answered her phone, it made her feel guilty bcoz she wasn't able to do anything. It must have been so hard for her so she carried guilt for 19 years. In all those 19 years CYJ had a choice to be HAPPY and FREE but she didn't, i know why bcoz even if she free herself from it and live normally like others but she wont be able to set her HEART free which is CAGED due to GUILT.
The agony and anger she felt when she was listening to Soo jung's last message must have broken her from inside bcoz her frnd died just like that as a bait. But i m so happy that in end CYJ was able to solve it, and set her heart free of all sufferings and same goes for Soo Jung .
CYJ is truly a hero, she lived in guilt and pain for so many years just to make sure she can give her frnd the justice she deserved by punishing the killer as per the law and meanwhile protecting KEH from BSH and his gang.

Music:
For the past 20 days i m like NOBODY NOBODY NOBODY KNOWS..:) hahahahah
Re- Watch
Definitely Yes but right now i m in a mode of recommending it to my frnd, so i can make other see what a MASTERPIECE looks like.
Thank You to the writers of this show....

Plot: The show is all about love triangle, Shuyuan used to love someone else before coming to palace but catches the eye of both crown prince and 4th prince. Crown prince is a impulsive, childish and arrogant but he truly loves Shuyuan, whereas the 4th prince is reserved, decisive and smart.
Since the duration of this show is quite less compared to normal shows instead of just focusing on the development of story between Yinreng (crown prince), Shuyuan and Yinzheng(4th prince) they allotted so much time in the love story of other character, for example since its about love triangle the character of crown prince is quite clear but the character of 4th prince is very complex and it would have been a lot more better if he takes off his layers in front of Shuyuan thus making him fall for her but he falls for her without any proper basis of connection between them. Also the editing and execution is bad, otherwise the story is not bad.
1st season is all about the crown prince trying to woo the girl and the girl saving him from his foolishness.
Acting/ Cast: The cast is good considering they r not much experienced.

The only thing i want to say about the show is MIND-BLOWING
what i like about the show:
1. The lead has awesome chemistry
2. There acting is flawless and it will touch ur feeling and u wanna cry with them, will laugh with etc.
3. The story is definitely worth it, ending might be unexpected but its the most reasonable one. Even though its quite predictable yet it has the potential to keep u hooked up that's the specialty of this show.
4. There is no flaw in the story except i wish, i could see the uncut version.
Characters
Peng xiaoran: She is cheerful, carefree, lively, innocent, emotional and mischievous at the same time. They way she portrayed every emotion is so touching, u can literally feel her. U wont feel that she is a new comer....
Cheng Xing Xu: He nailed as the male lead, ruthless and cunning but loved the female lead immensely. I think in the whole show he is the biggest plotter.
Wei Qian Xiang : His character is very sweet, loved him to ...
But the chemistry between the lead is of different level.
i would have given this show more than 10 if there was an option to do so...hehehehehe...
will be my all time favorite.
Re-watch value: Definitely yes, this show is totally worth it.
I personally find is far better than AOL which was very illogical ...

It’s weird I still don’t understand why nobody proved that YX father wasn’t a rebel he was framed by that YH and that Liang princess Xiao yu..??

As for YX I do understand his suffering as his country yanbei suffered the massacre, so much bloodshed and his whole family was killed brutally....then in that jiu-you platform how YH was playing with his fathers head they didn’t even buried his family properly ....and even after he was saved from death but they still tried to kill him with all means possible ....further he always introduced himself as the son of a traitor or sinner YX for all those yrs of imprisonment, so much humiliation not only to him but also to his deceased family, it’s really hard to overcome something like that...bcoz no child can endure humiliation of his family..

As for YY I somewhere felt that he could have avoid YX family being framed. Becoz he was ordered by the king to find proof against yin shicheng, but he could used that opportunity to prove him innocent or could have done something else, since he have that “eye of god” org running which provides so much intel on many things. Also whenever a’chu was in trouble he leaves all that hesitation behind of being the heir of yuwen household and his grandfather expectations but YX was his frnd for 10 yrs and still he didn’t gave his best to prove YX family innocent...
As for CQ I can’t really tell whether she loves YY or YX, becoz in case of YY she was guilty of not being able to repay for what he has done for her and in case of YX she share the same dream of him, wanted to protect him from any harm which she explained in the end.....but I really want her to end up with YX so that she can save him. Since only she can make him give up on his revenge and hatred and start realising him of his mistakes and repent on it before it’s too late...i deeply respect her bcoz even after YX changed she never backed off....since it’s easy to run away from things when they get messy but hard to face it ....and one more thing I really want is ....detailed confrontation between CQ and YX about the dreams and hopes he gave her, about people of yanbei and about what bai sheng told YX before dying.....
Looking forward to

This show is the continuation of season 1, Season 2 is quite darker and painful compared to the first season.
The story is quite good in terms that it actually depicts the reality of struggle for power and love in palace, as every person is just a puppet or manipulated by the hand of others or their own desires. Therefore, it's not necessary that the things will end according to u.
This show could have been a lot more better compared to what they have done, a good plot got ruined becoz of bad execution and in the end so many matters remains unanswered and confusing. Just like the character of 4th prince is quite complex they should have invested time in letting the viewers know his true colors and ambitions, also they should have shown how the crown prince is working hard to become compatible for his lady love and may other matters which i have already mentioned in the comment section.

The Untamed really deserves all the recognition it has earned.
It was a beautiful journey with so many emotions and feeling be it love, sadness, crying, love, friendship and sacrifice. Each and every character was so beautifully portrayed by the cast, hats off to them and the whole Team of “The Untamed”.
Characters wise:
WWX: I love his character he is selfless, lovely, funny, mischievous and not controlled by stupid rules and regulations. Whatever he did for others wasn't to gaining any reputation or recognition but for him it’s a belief that he had to support the weak people for which he had taken many steps. I didn't understand how can he be blamed for the destruction of Jiang clan and Lotus Pier that’s not true, no matter what that Wen Ruohan was going to control all the clans with the help of Stygian Iron and his son was a mad guy who finds happiness by abusing others. In fact, if Madam Yu hadn’t used her Zidian on WWX, he could have helped them to deal with them and at- least they could have run away instead of getting themselves killed. He gave his golden core then gets badly beaten up by Wen Chao and after that they threw him in the Burial Mounds, here I was expecting LWJ to help WWX. After WWX returned from Burial Mounds LWJ was correct that he needs to control his temper bcoz he learned Demonic Cultivation and it will eventually effect his temper which I do understand after all that had happened with him but somewhere I was hoping he could take LWJ help in order to avoid any calamity in future and it happened a moment of his weakness was used as a strength by those wicked people around him.
Watching WWX suffer made me think his life was full of miseries and I m sure it wasn’t still bad, what was more heart-breaking is when his loved ones died and he was blamed by everyone. These blames must be like someone pierced his heart with 1000 of nails.
After his revival he changed in term of his temper which was really a sort of relief for me bcoz I don’t like him to be used by anyone and left him in despair.

LWJ: He is such an adorable character and moreover LWJ was a character who needs to portray each of his emotion using his eyes and body language. His visuals are mesmerizing and he really look awesome in white specially his headband<3. Many time I wished that instead of just supporting WWX he should also stand up against those stupid clan leaders who were blinded by stupid idiotic theory to kill everyone in the name of justice bcoz I know that when LWJ would speak he can clear out few things which can keep a strong base to help WWX but also the innocent people of Wen Clan.
For me there is a bit difference between supporting someone and standing up bcoz supporting a person is due to feelings but standing up is all about ur belief. When u love someone u r bound to trust them no matter what but when u stand up for something u only need right conscience not love.
Just like what Mianmian did in ep 27 she was literally bang on, I really loved how she supported WWX and then threw Jin Clan rob with belt and I was clapping for her. And I love how LWJ protected Demon subdue palace and even helped Yuan though he even got punished so badly for it. After Yanli it was only LWJ who had a place for WWX without any restrictions.
One of the best dialogue when LWJ was kneeling outside and he asked his Master that can i que u something, Tell me what's right and what's wrong, what's black and what's white. Truly there is no distinction between that it all depends on ur belief and understanding.

Wen Ning: His character was really the cutest character and adorable too. He was so innocent and yet suffered so much pain. I felt bad when after that incident with Jin Zixuan, WWX woke up and Wen Ning was sitting on his knees asking for forgiveness and WWX kicked him. WWX said himself that Wing Ning condition was partially fault too and he knew Weng Ning isn’t someone who can kill anyone specially if that person has something to do with WWX. Wen Ning helped him multiple times just bcoz WWX saved him once I guess it was more like he “Admired” WWX.
And when all those people Sacrificed their lives in order to hep WWX, I was crying like hell. They all went together in order to get punishment yet they were treated like animals and even displayed their bodies after killing them that’s so inhuman of them.

All the actor and actresses did an amazing job in bringing them to life bcoz of which we were able to connect to them in a better way and was able to feel all the emotions.
I became a fan of these guys Sean Xiao, Wang Yibo and Paul Yu: They acted so well not only by delivering good dialogues but including facial and body expression was a bang on, Totally love them <3 <3 <3

The sound track : My fav is "The Main Theme" Song, specially the flute part ...i m listening to it in repeat mode ...

So as per the show "The Untamed" means: Emotions be it in a good way or bad bay u can't always control them which is an imp factor in taking any decision, i guess. There are things which remains Untamed even if u want to Tame them.

Love blossomed between between political conflict

The story of the show is common like any other Historical political drama but what makes this Drama DIFFERENT from others is solely bcoz of How Alloy Chen and NiNi put their soul while portraying their characters as Ning Yi and Feng Zhiwei, it felt so alive like everything is happening in front of me.
There are parts which felt a bit draggy and similar, i wish they could have merged the Ning Shen and Ning Qi part together rather than showing them separately.

I truly adored the relationship between Headmaster Xin and Ning Yi, they had that brotherly friendship bond between them which is quite rare to see. The time Ning Yi reunited with his Mother while Headmaster Xin lost someone precious it was really hard to see him, Headmaster Xin was in pain and had a lot to say but Ning Yi didn't realised also, the time when Ning Yi became the emperor and asked Headmaster Xin to become his minister but he denied to make him understand how he felt back then was just so sad.

The Love Story between Ning Yi and Feng Zhiwei is really like a treasure, though i knew may be they won't be together but still i was hoping for them to end up together. Sometimes i also wished if Zhiwei mom had taken back her Oath in respect of not letting her marry Ning Yi since, both deserve to be Together. The way Ning Yi said that he wants Zhiwei not only in this lifetime but in every lifetime ..awwwww that so sweet and melting ?? it really shows how true his love is.
The ending was really sad and i wish there can be a SEASON 2 about Feng Zhiwei is alive and finally reunits with Ning Yi.
Nanyi was so cool, i really loved how he always says "Wherever you go, i will follow you".



Things i find a bit weird is:
1. Headmaster Xin is such a reasonable man i didn't expected him to kill Lady Wang.
2. Fine that Nanyi was trying to avenge Master Zhong death and he wouldn't in any case will hurt Consort Yale but who keeps the carriage on the edge of the clif ???
3. Why Ning Yi didn't realised what Ning Qi is trying to achieve ?? Ning Qi was the one who wanted the Feng Hao and Qiu Mingying identity to be revealed so he can also get rid of Feng Zhiwei.
4. Helian Zhang was so stupid to kill himself so he can make Zhi wei hate Ning Yi?

Aloy Chen: I m so in love with his acting, he literally brought life to Ning Yi's character ❤️
NiNi: She did an excellent job in portraying as Feng Zhewei, her expression were on the spot and dialogues delivery were so bang on ...I just loved her ?
Rest of the Cast also did an excellent job in conveying their character.
I gave it 9/10, deducted 1 point for repetitive parts and not ending it properly.

Journey of Life

I have been keeping this show to watch somewhere later but after completing it i realized this show is really a "GEM".
This is really a good Presentation of "Journey of Life", how everything changes quickly with time and the only thing remains unforgotten is the "Memories" you create during this journey.
There are so many instances with which i totally relate to and it has happened with me too like,
1. Parents trying hard to give their kids a good life and secure future, being a parents comes with responsibilities where they even forget what their personal wish is and all they do is live for their kids.
2. Plate rotation in neighborhood and having feast even in small occasions.
3. A time when finances aren't enough and in order to buy one thing u have to think 2wice but with future and opportunities situation does changes.
4. That incredible atmosphere in neighborhood and all are supporting each other in their bad times or laughing together in good times.
5. The bonding between friends.
I really liked everything about the show but one thing which really disappointed me is that after showing CT and SDS feelings for each other, not much time was given to them.
I really have no issues that they showed CT and SDS confessing in 2nd last ep but they could have made the last ep all about CT and SDS instead of just focusing on marriage of SSW and SBR bcoz the last ep was almost rd 2hrs or they could have made a "SPIN OFF MOVIE" dedicated specially to CT and SDS.

Initially it didn't appeared that CT have any romantic feelings for SDS that too throughout half of the entire show and suddenly they showed him having a soft corner for SDS which was just like a surprise where else, KJH who was already in love with her from the the start but at first he didn't confessed bcoz of SSW even after that KJH didn't confessed his feeling while he had so many chances and here i was really hoping for him to confess that too when SDS was giving KJH so many signals.
"LOVE is all about PATIENCE" but when it comes to confession better not to be too late otherwise u will end up regretting it forever. when KJH got to know about CT feelings for SDS even then he didn't confessed bcoz of his friendship just like what CT did, who cancelled his confession plan after knowing about KJH feeling for SDS. May be that's the reason i do feel bad for KJH but not completely bcoz he was the one who gave up on confessing while he had so many chances.
But still i cried when KJH gave her that fiance ring while confessing and then pretended that it was just a joke...:( :( which made it so difficult to choose between CT and KJH.

Well i do understand why CT loves SDS but i don't get why SDS suddenly fell for CT? or did something changed after that kiss when CT thought of it as a dream?

I m really in love with that scene where SDS accidentally spill the beans about kissing and then when CT ask her while his eye are full of tears, this scene really pinched me.

I have a soft spot for love stories which is about childhood couple bcoz its really amazing to see a friendship developing into love and then the promise to be with each other and most importantly that u only had eyes for each other.
