Feeling/perception of chemistry is subjective too. I recall not feeling a thing other than good acting between the leads in Love Like the Galaxy while many seemed blown away by their chemistry.

The romance has been dimmed by mutual suspicion. Both have at stake a revenge burden more important than a romantic relationship.

I couldn't get into either of those dramas at first try, so I guess the moment and the mood have to be right. I just rewatched NiF for the third time and was blown away all over again...

Thanks for these recommendations. I'd say cdrama has quite a few good family dramas: Go Ahead and The Bond for example have great acting and writing. The best cdramas span a range of genres: NIrvana in Fire, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom, The Story of Min Lan, The Bad Kids,The Rebel, all of these are excellent.

His insight, foresight and powers of precise execution are superlative in ways that would normally take a lifetime to learn.

He’s such a good actor; loved him since NiF.

Not romance, but an undercurrent of deep devotion.

I feel the same. I just finished rewatching and I’d forgotten how emotionally intense this drama is.

Uh, it’s called acting in character.

😂

He’s totally 🔥in Meet Yoursef.

@ Divine Soul, the deceptive person is actually the FL and the ML becomes entangled trying save her from ridicule and embarrassment. She’s emotionally immature and socially inept; her predicaments are consequences of her own creation.

Coming late to this drama and I’m glad I did; Li Xian is burning up my screen! 🔥😍. If only the story was all about him and his team…the FL adds nothing but embarrassment.

Ning Yi is unique and more multifaceted than even Mei Chansu from NiF. The ML for JoL is much younger, not as complex a character.

Thank you, I wondered about that book…at bedtime too. She’s fierce!

I totally agree with the Dramacool user’s comments. Be sassy and bold, but be intelligent and aware too. Rude, entitled and callous behavior makes her seem crass and not a good match for the far more mature ML.

You might enjoy New Life Begins. It has similar themes to TRoTR, great leads and a lot of heart.

But if she hadn’t made mistakes she would have been a monster…and we would have no drama lol.

It’s grim and serious in a melodramatic way… very soap operatic but a fun watch.
