Does anyone know if any of the final match couples stayed together after the show? Maybe if they have couple yt accs?

I really hope someone will update/spoil us in the comments after the final ep airs about who actually got together even after the show ended! If they have any active couple accs right now I would love to follow them!

I did already and after 2 eps I realized it wasn't for me ^^ Still I don't think it's a bad thing to ask.

Thank you for your reply! I think I'll give a few episodes a try then! It's just that I've heard that the series turned bad near the end and some found the conclusion underwhelming hence why... I was a bit concerned about investing my time if the ending eps don't meet my initial expectations. Still since I don't have any other xianxia series to watch, I might as well give it a go!

Btw I absolutely loved Destiny Brings the Demon and Love in the Clouds plus I also enjoyed "Love of the Divine Tree especially its ending! Honestly it has to be one of the most satisfying and wholesome endings in recent xianxia shows!

I've already watched your suggestions and they were indeed good and some of my faves! I couldn't get past 2 eps of Feud even Moonlight Mistique was average to me so if you say this is worse than Feud I guess there is no hope of liking it lol

Thank you for your input! Yes I've watched a few good ones recently but good xianxia/wuxia have been a bit rare in the recent years...Do you have any personal suggestions that would make a better watch?

I see thanks!

Would you recommend this drama? Is the ending as horribly written as some say? Was the overall execution of this cdrama worth it?
Although I like the main leads and have watched other shows with them I am no fan of any actors/actresses so I won't waste hours just to stan support them and their dramas...So I want some honest replies! Many thanks!
Also if you have any good recent/current costume cdrama do share^^

I haven't yet watched Shine on me but I just checked and SOM it's a Tencent produced drama...Iqiyi just got it's distribution rights (it does happen among the big 3 tencent , youku and iqiyi sometimes they will get rights for the others dramas) so it's not their call I think but tencent's. On the other hand Speed and Love is an Iqiyi drama.

No it's just that the actors mouths don't even much the audio and you can tell it's fake...And looks kinda weird you will se it on later eps when ML and side characters speak thai.

Honestly, from what I remember my main issue with the first few episodes was the pacing. We were barely two eps in and the FL and ML were already showing signs of having a crush on each other especially the FL. The entire introduction and early episodes felt like a blur to me and the shift in their feelings wasn’t developed well enough. Everything moved far too quickly for my taste, which made it hard to savor.
As for the long drawn-out silent scenes, I agree they seem to be part of the directing style of this c-drama. And yes the fighting scenes and thai speaking scenes if I may add were a bit over the top, but honestly compared to the other issues I had to judge and overlook that felt pretty minor.

Umm so I finally finished this one! It was a decent watch overall but it definitely didn’t live up to the expectations I had before starting it...
The script, directing and especially the editing held this drama back from being truly good for me.

The first few episodes were hard to get through, though things did improve later especially once I adjusted my expectations and settled into the show.
One of the biggest issues was the editing, particularly in the middle portion of the drama. Scenes would abruptly cut to completely different moments that seemed to take place days later, with little to no explanation. This made the story feel disjointed, created noticeable plot holes and repeatedly broke the immersion for me.
On top of that, there were directing and logical issues throughout the drama some scenes simply made no sense and felt like they existed purely for emotional impact rather than storytelling consistency.

That said, the drama wasn’t without its charms. The chemistry between the leads was genuinely enjoyable, the overall theme had potential and the car racing scenes were one of the highlights! A big part of my fangirling came from the fact that the plot reminded me strongly of the Wattpad-style romance novels I used to read as a teen. Making it kind of a nostalgic watch.
Visually, Speed and Love was definitely a feast for the eyes and consistently delivered when it came to aesthetics, making it easy to keep watching.

When it comes to this cdrama my biggest surprise was definitely He Yu! This was my first time seeing him as a ML and both his performance and visuals stood out. I genuinely hope to see him in more lead roles in the future.

Would I recommend this drama? It really depends on what you’re looking for. If you want something visually appealing, chemistry-driven and very fangirl-oriented and you’re willing to overlook the problems it has, then it can be a fun watch. ^^

Okay eps 19-20 are definitely the most emotional and impactful ones of this show so far! They even made me tear up a bit! Hopefully, the 9 episodes left won’t disappoint either!

Sigh...I guess I will tough it out then and maybe fast-forward cause I rarely drop shows I watched that far ahead...Hopefully at least the ending eps make up for it cause I've seen many praise them plus I can't stop fangirling over He Yu! He is the best thing I was introduced to in this cdrama! Hopefully he gets more works soon ><

Honestly cnetz have always been more critical and hard to please so it's no surprise. Especially when this cdrama does have some issues with script/editing from my observations and the opening eps were also kinda hard to get into so maybe some dropped it early before it gets better...
Personally I find it a fun watch it reminds me of those Watpad novels I used to read lol Plus their chemi is great!
But yeah it's nothing groundbreaking of a show either so for some I guess expectations weren't met?

Personally I first saw him in Always Home and absolutely loved the drama and his role there!

Same here...The first 2-3 eps were a hard watch but it does get better espescially after adjusting your expectations and seeing it as a light watch plus the fangirling moments it includes.

Currently on ep 18 and aside from having some issues with the script overall the editing feels quite choppy rn too. The transitions between scenes are happening too quickly. Take this ep for example, one moment the characters are together at night on a date and then suddenly the next scene shows them in the morning in front of a hotel pool, without any indication if it's the same day or how they got there with Mu staying out the night. Then, we see the ML's friend getting kidnapped right after and Zhao chasing them...
I've noticed this choppy editing style has been occurring for a few episodes now. I hope it improves as the series progresses cause it really affects the immersion.
On a positive note though I love the chemistry between Zhao Mu and their scenes together. Their kiss scenes really gave me butterflies!

Now I'm excited ><

Really? I'm currently still on ep10 so I can't tell yet but the most kisses I think I've seen so far that made me blush were in When Destiny Brings the Demon >< Kinda curious to see how it goes here!
