I hate to break this to you, but Gao Han is also in Xu Kai upcoming modern drama As Beautiful As You.
Author of the novel is different. Screenwriter is the same one who wrote Only For Love. The author of the novel also wrote Waiting For You In A City, which was adapted into Fireworks In My Heart.
Accidental Love, which was adapted to Only For Love, was written by the same author who wrote the novel that was adapted to Love Scenery. I read Accidental Love a long time back before Only For Love was announced. I can tell you that it really does not deserve a drama adaptation. So, for me, from the beginning, Only For Love was bound to fail.
I hope the writing is good. The screewriter did an awful job in Only for Love with Bai Lu and Dylan. I am hoping…
Only for Love had a weak source material to begin with -- it wasn't worth an adaptation, especially with Bai Lu and Dylan as leads. The screenwriter can't do much to save it anyway.
I just saw that too. The Legend was aldo pretty good too, but even then the writing mess was everywhere.
For The Legends, it wasn't the writing, but the editing for the last few episodes was a mess.
I haven't watched Only for Love yet, but I knew it was going to be an average drama -- I read the novel long before they announced the drama adaptation. I felt the novel was ok, not worth an adaptation. And when the adaptation was announced, and with the cast, I felt like "WHYYY??" With a relatively less known actors, I can understand. But with big names announced as cast, I felt it was a wasted potential because of the weak source material. ABAY has a very strong source material, and unless the screenwriter messes it up big time, it should be fine. The Legends also had a strong source material, and I felt the screenwriter did a good job with it, only the editing did it bad in the last few episodes. I hope the screenwriter can do the same for ABAY.
I have just finished watching the whole series. Tbh I did not expect such amazing ride. The storyline had its…
The moment I see comparisons between two very obviously different genre dramas, I automatically consider that opinion trash. And weirdly, it's always those fans of the other drama coming here and crying why this drama is not as good as the other one. Weird bunch.
A big round of applause for the post production team (especially the editing team) of this drama. Getting whole 10 episodes cut could be a disaster for a lot of dramas, but they managed to tell the story they wanted tell despite that. Just based on that, even if there were a few critical points in the drama, I will give this drama a full 10/10. They marketed this as a romantic comedy with a bit of court intrigue, and they delivered it so spectacularly. Bravo!
the discussions on reddit are quite good, detail, thorough, and deep analysis into the characters instead of the…
On Reddit, you will find a lot of people who really analyse deeply. Here, alas, how I try to explain, people only want to see things how they want to see. So, I just took the stance to ignore their "analysis" of ML and FL relationship. It's really hurting my eyes lol.
because I'm still on episode 14! The teasers are not making me cry. I need to wait until I get to the brutal scenes,…
Just to be clear, I didn't mean to sneer at you with my post (in fact, I don't even remember it was you, lol). I even agreed with you, silently, when I saw your post. I even liked your post. I just felt it was a bit funny that I agreed with someone's post that WOL did not move me to tears as ALP did on one day, yet on the next day, I wasn't just moved to tears, I bawled my eyes out.
To even think that someone yesterday (or was it the day before yesterday?) on here say that WOL didn't move them to tears as ALP did... and I even silently agreed with them in my heart. And yet, here I am, bawling my eyes out as I type this.
That episode was so good. I was actually getting all emotional, not crying yet... and then that song came in, and with it, the dams in my eyes broke loose.
I'm new to this series and have been fast-forwarding to catch up with new episodes, so I might've missed some…
Pushing him because of.... basically what happened in Ep 30?
Even if Li Ni wants to leave all this and go to Laolan pass, he can't. Power struggles will always haunt him. And also, he is more suitable, even capable, ruler.
