Does it say anywhere which episode this scene will be?

Seated!

Same here, I loved shadow love but I wish they had a bit more enemies to lovers trope in it. I also hope fl is strong, the most disappointing thing for me with shadow love is that fl didn't really shine in combat compared to ml. I get that ml was basically superman but I still wish fl had a lot more badass fight scenes or leading troops moments . Fated hearts looks really promising in that regard. Zhu yu is another one that seems to have a strong fl but the trailer kinda makes me think it will be more like shadow love, where ml is a lot stronger.

Speaking of strong FLs, currently holding off on legend of the female general because I saw a clip about a marriage edict that pissed me off lol. I'll wait until I'm in a really good mood to start it.

I used to think the same way after reading Si Jin and Coroner's diary novels but the more I read the more annoyed I got at other novels. In most novels, the ml is constantly groveling at the fl to take him back after some dumb misunderstandings usually even cause by the fl herself. There are a lot of reverse harems. The ml personalities in the novels are usually terrible and toned down in the dramas. There are also a lot of messy relationships on the fl's side with sml, itsa plus for people who like love triangles but I end up just wondering why ml is sticking around. When the novels are good(Si Jin, Be passionately in love and Coroner's diary for me), it's impossible to make a drama that does them justice but a lot of the novels are also just bad imo. Off the top of my head, Hidden love, go back lover and you are my lover friend have dramas I loved but absolutely hated the novels. It's mostly because MLs are creeps(idk why authors like having the ml kiss a sleeping/unconscious fl and framing it as romantic) or just plain pathetic. Ended up ranting because I had high expectations of the novels but the 3 I mentioned (Si Jin, be passionately in love and Coroner's diary) are all magnitudes above their drama adaptations even though all 3 dramas are some of my favourites.

I agree. It obviously might be nothing but they put the scenes of her having these "minor" health issues for a reason. Hae also told her to get a checkup because of what happened to him but that might also have been alluding to something

I think he's irredeemable. He's just done so much bad/irresponsible when thinking about it carefully. I wish more kdramas and cdramas had leads cutting off their shitty parents. The way he treated all 3 women he was with is bad and more importantly abandoning 2 children without parents/guardians while he went to live lavishly. The latter is just too much imo.

I don't want ml to forgive and reconcile with him, I also hope ml's stepmother leaves him. If Sunwoo and/or Nu Ri atleast had another parent/guardian then I might want to see them reconcile but he was all they had, and he left. Not even gonna mention wanting to dump Nu Ri in an orphanage because she isn't his biological child.

I never said she should stay with him. You understand that they both did bad things towards each other because they were on opposite sides so why couldn't all the other people in the show? Why are they acting like he's the reason she died? The sml was the same, why was he given this dumb "moral high ground" to test the ml's love for her when he's done so much stuff to hurt the fl. Everyone close to fl treats ml like he knew she would die when he didn't beg her to stay with him. The doctor friend pissed me off so much at the end. Evsn before that, she was treating the amnesiac ml like he still had his memories and was purposefully hurting fl ignoring all nuance

Guess I'll catch the last episode to see if they find a way to cure the incurable terminal illness. I hate the terminal illness trope/plot with a passion. I was really enjoying this as well, honestly really annoyed that I have to drop because I really like the main leads' interactions

Great watch. Last episode was kinda annoying. Why are they blaming him?? He tried to make her stay atleast 3 times but she kept pushing him away whenever he tried. A lot of cdramas do this, everyone including the ml himself, unfairly blames ml when fl gets hurt. Outside of the 2 main leads, Qiao Er was my mvp till the end.

Dropping on episode 14. Can't stand how the plot makes the fl extremely stupid at times just to create misunderstandings. If the roles of ml and fl were swapped, the things she did wouldn't slide.

Typical evil sml always gets soft endings/"redemption" no matter how evil they are. Really enjoyed ml and fl, as well as the secondary couple but we really should have seen more of the story with them as a couple without the amnesia influence. Last episode obviously needed more time of them happy together but that's also typical xianxia, so whatever. Still a disappointing ending imo, really wanted atleast half the episode to just be ml and fl happy together with no problems.

Echoing a previous comment, in cdramas ml is usually shown loving the fl magnitudes more than she loves him and that's no different here.

In both hl and first frost they make it very clear that Sang Zhi chose Yihe for her own career aspirations. She had no contact with Jiaxu and was even ignoring him before they coincidentally met again after she had given up on him. Flying to Yihe on one day to confirm whether her crush had a girlfriend isn't "worse" in any way especially since she had not expressed her feelings to him yet. I'm not reading the part about our secret as I haven't watched it yet and plan to so Im trying to avoid spoilers, sorry about that. I just think the comparison to Sang Zhi is way off.

I get your frustrations with the way people describe Qile. I also disagree with most of the criticism as well. Imo if they had shown more of how close they were before ml left as well as show more about what the ml was going through, there would be far less criticism. My biggest criticism is that we don't see enough of their relationship before they seperate to justify Qi Le doing so much for him nor do we see enough of ml's suffering that leads to him leaving. The way ml talks before they seperate is also a bit iffy considering he knew he was leaving. I unfortunately compare him to Yifan a lot. The way Yifan and Sang Yan seperated as well as how the drama showed Yifan's suffering was done much better imo.

What did Sang Zhi do to chase after ml? She's comparable to Sang Yan not Sang Zhi at all

Why does his follower count keep dropping on weibo?

Heart for mentioning amidst a snowstorm of love. I love that drama!

Hard agree. People will mostly complain about the censorship ending in the last 15 mins but after the fight in ep19 the show was kind of a letdown until the end.

About 15mins before the end of the final episode. That's honestly what I consider the true ending. Fast forwarded most of the censored ending that comes after that.

I completely agree with you on that. The best ones imo are the ones that make it so that things they go through are acknowledged but most just go with the whole it was all a dream nonsense. For my own sanity and satisfaction, if they return to their original world/timeline in the last episode then I just consider the ending being just before that because that's likely what the writers wanted as the ending.

That's due to the censorship on time travel/rebirth stories. Just consider the "true" ending being before that. Off the top of my head, Mr bad, the day of becoming you, a dream within a dream and romance of tiger and rose all have that kind of ending because of the censorship on time travel/rebirth/transmigration stories. Admittedly some handle the endings better than others but we shouldn't fault the shows when they are forced to have these kind of endings. I personally disliked the entire final arc though, lol.

Ep19-23. Why? Just why? Sometimes keeping a simple fluffy story as just a simple fluffy story till the end is good. I wish more fluffy/slice of life shows were like hidden love and understood that there's no need for an explosive ending arc that will get viewers' blood pumping, head scratching and wow them.
