Basically, Neo competing against himself while we compare which FL has more chemistry with him. Lol

But whoever named this drama Glory needs a vacation. Is there no other English title? Its so overused by now.

Jin Zhao says: "The sun shines by day, and the moon by night. The sun and moon alternate, never to meet again.

Mu Mu answers: "Even natural laws are never absolute. The sun shines by day, and the moon by night. The sun and moon shines together. Zhao Zhao Mu Mu will never be apart. "

I think that just became one of the most romantic symbolisms, the most beautiful and touching lines said in any modern-day dramas 🥹

Both Esther and He Yu did such a fantastic job. The emotional chemistry was off the chart

My thoughts after completing this drama; FL is the unluckiest AND the luckiest woman alive. Like God wills it so she can only play the villain by giving her the worst upbringing and situation anybody can have but then she encounters men in her life that are willing to do anything to help her get out of trouble. When she finally found real happiness, the most unlucky thing happen AGAIN that put her back on the dark path but she can never be caught or get in trouble because well her good luck strikes once more right? Her life just keeps going in circle no matter how hard she wants to break free from it or how many people she sacrifice, that its almost ridiculous.

Lol shes not that young, shes 19/20 years old, she was of age and made the decision to flew over to Thailand to pursue him. He didn't date an underage teenager. She may act cute but was a woman capable of making her own decision regarding her future.

I'm more on MuMu side cuz I think JinZhao really underestimated MM's love for him. It seem like its been a habit of his since he was a boy to ghost her and hide things from her whenever he encounter problems yet MM has been nothing but straight and honest with him. She was willing to get on her knees to save his life and he is just too prideful to tell her the truth. Its also understandable he wants to always be that dependable man for her but this is lacking trust and disrespectful toward her feelings. I imagine he want to be with her, with marriage in mind, but think about it, no matter how healthy you are there are bound to be instances in your life where you are weak and ill, bound to get old and unforeseen accidents happen - it is Impossible, I say impossible to always be the strong one. Is he gonna separate/divorce her "for her own good" every single time an obstacle appear? More than anyone, she deserves to know the truth and make the ultimate decision for herself, that way theres no regret.

Honestly, the "I'm breaking up for your own good" plot is such an old old trope in this day and age. When Jin Zhao opened up to Mu Mu about his undercover mission, I thought we had gotten past that its no good to lie to your loved ones in the name of you protecting them part. Now hes reverting back, even ghosting her, and making arbitrary decisions for her without being honest...? 🤦‍♀️ Wish he had remembered Mu Mu's mom advice about not running away from his problems as the man...

A little disappointed with JZ character or this development, maybe a misunderstanding or the presumption that he was dead/missing wouldve been better for the separation arc... Everything about this drama was nice until the breakup. This angstiness is so unnecessary. Now I think I will hold until the rest of the episodes comes out to finish it all at once.

Just a few random thoughts... Poor He Yu be sweating like crazy in some of those emotional scenes (Esther must be sweating too but they did well hiding hers). Hot and humid Thailand 🥵. He must've loved filming the scene where he gets to dip in the ocean💦lol

Man, just so much sweetness before the storm but I think its done right. Most rl couples in a relationship does often tease, flirt, kiss and do naughty things with each other🫣🥰. I'm glad they didn't shy away from that.

I hope there are no misunderstandings in their upcoming separation

Its crazy but Maeda Gordon totally give me Julian Cheung's vibe. Its like hes Julian Cheung younger version. They are very similar, and this is the first time I see him in a drama. I will definitely pay more attention to all his upcoming dramas

....I think you misunderstood what I said. Nowhere in my comment did I say QT should be calling him Gui'er. All I said was I like the way his father address him and how it sound. I understood that was only something his father, mother an elder would call him

That makes a lot of sense. When i think of CY character in this drama, in my mind I like the way his father address him more than the way other people address him. Gui'er sound so much more endearing and close than the entire thing said out. 😂Ofc they are father and son after all. Different people addresses him differently thoughout the drama but I just feel the way QT addresses him now that she is suppose to be his signficant other half is the most awkward for some reason. If they ever get married, is she gonna keep calling him shao ye? Fu jun is probably better. They should married already 🤣

I just believe in a relationship, both side should be of equal status, she shouldnt have to feel so indebted, subservient to him as if he were her god. Though I understand regardless, they trust each other very much.

Btw is it really that bad? I thought it was an auspicious and wealthy name. Why did they name him Fu Gui? I forgot. Was it ever mention in LiP

Ahh you mean it being the usual name for pets or servant? I remember Nan Heng's subordinate in ADWAD also has that similar name. lol well maybe some other ways to address him would work better as well but my point was the lack of romance between the couple and thats just my opinion

Will correct on the shao, thanks xD

I've been so spoiled last quarter with the romance dramas main couples all trying to one up each other with more and more intimate scenes than one another that this lack of affirmation of affections in Sword and Beloved is really unsatisfying.

Everyone around Fugui and Qingtong seem to believe they are lovers and they themselves did not really denied it but they never had any deep conversation about their relationship as lovers. Its all very vague with barely any heartfelt affectionate love scenes, not even hugs and handholding that confirms it (that last one dont count, cuz its more like hes comforting her while she still grieving her brother). They just soo polite with each other lol. Fuqui always wears that same stoic expression. QT kept calling him FQ Shao ye also does not help either, does she see herself as his lover or his maid?

Seriously, I can feel the main leads have chemistry but the way the director have their characters interact with each other just cancels most of it out.

lol I watched it before making that comment. they are definitely bonding, but seem more like companionship/friendship sort of way, he hasnt admitted to liking her and its not anything passionate yet. I feel like him saving her because he believe its the right thing to do. He did say if it was other innocent demon struggling to survive, he would also do the same, altho I'm not sure how much of that is true, since you wouldn't sacrifice 10 years lifespan for just anybody. Lets see when he will realize his true feeling

The lack of romance in dramas this quarter is dreading... Even with S&B, I'm not feeling it much and if when it does it get stronger (probably more slow burn), it feels like it will just serve as a plot device for the story to move forward, so WQFG can reach his understanding of the sword and all worldly things better.

Cheng Yi definitely has much more chemistry here with his male bestie and FL than in Journey of Legend

Well, I'm glad they decided to aired this romance drama along with the other 2 big male lead centered dramas or else it would feel pretty stuffy this quarter.

I am a little bitter with this ending. Why can't they show the main couple live happily together in ancient time till old age then when she die, she returns back to modern as if it was a dream??? Srsly poor guy...

Thats so sweet of him to explain. Its understandable, Ming Xian identity was never just about her but also a huge royal secret concerning her family and her realm. Although they trust each other, there is also a lot at stake.

The emperor made enemies with both the Prime Minister and the Marquis families in order to alienate his First son and fuel his ambition for the throne. Talk about sad and twisted...
