whoever is in VIki comments talking about the transition please stop go find yourself a team and translate something…
Totally agreed. When I see people in Viki comments asking why the episode hasn't been translated yet instead of real comments, its really annoying and take the experience away from other viewers. If you watch the episode when its not 100% translated, thats entirely on you so either find another source or do it yourself. Subbers did it voluntarily so the least you can do is keep your complaints to yourself and have patience.
Since it's going to be torture waiting for new episodes, does anyone have recommendations for dramas that have…
I think "The Oath of Love" have similar vibes and ML is also a doctor. "Amidst a Snowstorm of Love" is another good one. I'll add those to recommendations.
Currently aired "The First Frost" which is a spinoff of The Hidden Love should be similar too but I haven't start watching it yet.
Been awhile since I watch such a beautiful and nostalgic love story. ML was forced to let go of his first love due to an accident that causes FL to forget him. Unlike some previous comment below stated that "he did nothing to help her regain her memory" because in fact, he did try. He put in a lot of what limited efforts he had even while away at military academy, wrote her many letters, hoping to be able to come back and have a future with her. When he did, he found out from her mother that FL had gotten married and is with child. The FL's own mother prevented him from telling her anything about their pasts. Even went as far as not letting them meet and had hidden all his letters. At this point, he had no choice but to give up. Note that they never properly broke up nor got closure to their relationship.
ML tried to move on with his life with new women (they show he slept like with only 2 others in the drama) and one of them being his present-day girlfriend/fiancée. I don't see any problem with this, his love had married so why should he stay chaste for her even if he can't forget her? Should he stay lonely his whole life, realistically? ("Outlanders" follow this same plot btw where even if separated and have other partners, they still remain each other true love and eventually found their way back to each other) It is not immoral to seek solace and happiness at any given time. Eastern dramas can have this concept too. It's not like he was conning girls' feelings or playing around either.
Therefore, over 15 years or so later when they unite again, although she had divorced, he already has a fiancée, he didn't think he should bring her more pain by telling her about their pasts, not to mention he felt responsible for it. But the more they meet the more attractions and hidden feelings that he had kept bottled inside become uncontrollable, so he kisses her. He realizes he still loved FL a lot and planned on telling his current gf to cancel wedding, but gf knew and dodges his attempt several times. So no I don't think he meant to cheat or stepping on two boats. lol
Lot of old cliches and tropes but with emotions and cinematography done right. Although I can see why some viewers are confused with the many back-to-back flashbacks
Wonder why no one recommended the J-drama, "Innocent Love (2008)". Utada Hikaru also sung the main song for that drama and it also have the same overall melo vibe like this one though much darker. Don't trust the ratings on MDL too much.
MARS was one of the first manga series I read back when I was in middle school, so when it got adapted into Live action TW-drama, I was excited to watched it. The TW version was a very true-to-manga adaptation. It totally captures the essence of the story to a tee. By comparison, JP version is not as accurate as the TW version. Lot of details were left out and change here (i.e. Rei did not participate in motorcycle races here nor did it explore Rei and Kira's family relationships).
I still enjoy the JP version since the main leads are cute together. Perhaps if they had more of a budget and made a second season instead of the seemingly rushed, follow-up movie, they could've gone a little more in depth with the characters.
In the beginning I feel a bit cringey/second-hand embarrassment for the FL but it gets more and more natural seeing her and the ML together. She also became a great and reliable nurse so good chara development there. ML also became more charming and cute as he fall in love with her.
For some reason or another, I put this drama off so long but when I finally decide to go for it, it was well worth the watch and I enjoy it very much
I'm gonna missed LotDt but it will be going on my mental list of top rewatch dramas. 2025 has been a generous year so far as good endings goes. Hope it continues on.
This is actually a very good interpretation of that last scene. I guess we were so pessimistic with the ending, relating it to the novel that we fail to see it that way. Its just that when they guess each other thoughts on the elope part with tears in their eyes I thought their elopement meant something else entirely. Maybe we all overthink when they just trying to give us a better ending than the novel lol😅
he knows she isn’t MQG. episode 29 showed that he knew it was MRW.
She always complains no one loved her, so lets see if WSZ's love will change her for the better although I don't have much hope for that since shes so greedy for everything. I'm getting the feeling he will sacrifice his life to save her later on
Haven't started watching this yet. Plan on waiting till more episodes aired. But does anyone know if Zhao LuSi and Chen Zhe Yuan will have cameo roles here as a little crossover with Hidden Love?
he knows she isn’t MQG. episode 29 showed that he knew it was MRW.
I remember hearing that part and thought he meant MQG saved him in the past life and he was grateful to MQG without knowing the one before him is fake. Didn't think he was really in love with MRW. Well even villains have their admirers I guess lol
Yes I did! but what I didn't anticipate was Uncle Ye Xin turn out to be Dun Tian, the immortal who sacrificed his wife and 2 daughters to obtain immortality.
Now I'm wondering, what are the chances of Mu QingGe and Mu RanWu being his reincarnated daughters? Too farfetch?
I usually don’t like this teacher-student or master/disciple relationships. But this? I like this. I actually…
Me too. Really like that they don't deny their feelings for each other here just because they have a Master-Disciple relationship even though it may be considered somewhat taboo. I love their heresy and dare to love and hate attitude! lol
Stark differences from 2015 The Journey of Flower. When I think about that drama, it invokes a lot of heartache and headaches for absolutely no reason. Bai Zi Hua (the master) was totally a stubborn mule who rejected his feelings for Hua Jian Gu (his disciple) until the very end. And the poor girl could never catch a break with so many people against her
i really wanted to watch this but the reviews above send me in great doubt 😭 pls tell me if it’s worth watching
Well it wouldn't be topping the charts if majority didn't think it was good but there are always those with different opinions and criticism. Its not like every drama is perfect either, I just don't think the flaws outweigh the positives here
What I don't understand is why someone would says its boring after they finish watching the entire drama. lol If it were me, a few initial episodes would be enough to help me decide whether to continue further or dropped it. I would not have the patient to sit thru watching an uninteresting drama and spending everyday for the last month awaiting each episodes that comes out while it airs.
