Dreamy

Q4 2021: Oct to Dec'21

Ikr?? This is my first xinxia & I feel like am doomed since I've tried many drama after completing this one but I can't even find any xinxia closer to this one/ as addictive or good, I keep dropping them left and right instead, let alone tops it.
How to move on.... this is my very big question too 😂
I don't think I'll be able to move on from Si Feng & Si Feng-Xuan Ji's chemistry.

True, lol, I even had to check the tag just to be sure, lmao
But to my surprise, I find it to be more thrilling than I thought it would 🙈🤣

Ohh his role is a demon lord? 😍 can't wait to see it! I know nothing about this drama/ novel tbh, I hope someone can share/ submit their synopsis 😄
I'm currently waiting for his modern drama Lie to Love as well, hopefully it can be released soon, I'll watch anything from him tbh 😂

Glad to hear we shared the same view 😘. I've tried my best to like the main couple but I can't, I can't overlook what XF did & it bothers me whenever I see the leads together, Run Yu deserves better.

Idk if it will be helpful for you or not, but I'd like to share my view on this drama:
I've only encounter Deng Lun (DL) & Leo Luo(LL) for the first time from this drama, so I have no bias over any of the actor when I started watching AOL.

DL's character Xu Feng I find came as a spoiled ML who has many privillege, while LL's character Run Yu came as a pretty sad & lonely character.
At first I like XF, but as more ep goes, I can't help but rooting for RY the most which later RY turned to be the only character I care for his well being about from the entire drama, he's quite a pitiful character who try his best to be optimist & positive despite his circumstance keep telling him otherwise.

It doesn't help when I find XF is trespassing his boundaries he never should, to be with the FL, it came to me as his selfishness forcing his one sided love over respect to his brother RY.
So I can't see myself rooting for the CP here & mostly got annoyed whenever I see the main leads/ couple together.
(Mind that I rarely suffered for SLS, unless the first ML is toxic, I'm mostly, will always root for the first ML.)

And here, ofc Run Yu as a second ML had to bear all the consequence after the CP basically drive him to the edge. I had to drop this drama because I don't see why I shd continue and be tortured to watch more CP moments I'll never root for & see the only character I care about being all miserable.

The only thing that left me have no regret starting this drama is because am thankful I discover Leo Luo's talent from this drama, I've even started & completed Love is Sweet & The Winner is Love (after dropping AOL) for him and now he becomes one of my fav actor 🙌😄

But Leo Luo is a great actor whom she shared a tremendous chemistry with & I don't see why actors had to be limited & dictated by the fans say on who shd to be paired with or not, it makes no sense & toxic. It's the actor's right to decide which project they'd like to take, not us viewers nor fans, threatening to boycot = pure toxic.

what you keep seeing as his accumulating deed is what he did as kids & I don't think he ever bully her in highschool so Idg why one simple mistake in his highschool day is so unforgivable.
I don't see the FL terrified at him too, rather she treat him like childhood friends who often having a quarrel & idt his deed as kid is enough to mark him as bully either, & the power play also is just how their professions work in real life (with pressure, heavy task and high demand) but well I guess to each of their own, so yeah let's just stop here.

He make mistakes like any normal human would, he apologize for it too so idk why you're taking it too seriously, lol

He got jealous because his day with her is limited with him going abroad & see her send a love letter to another man
so he took it, but it wasn't supposed to harm her whatsoever, he didn't know any of that things.

Also isn't it pretty common whether in real life nor drama for a person to get jealous & prone to make mistake over someone you personally care about because they're especially afraid to loose their special person?
Which drama doesn't have this kind of thrope?

So idk why it's so much a big deal for you, but well yeah let's agree to disagree 😂

Hmm idk if you've gotten to that part when they revealed what happened that day, you need to see his pov, it's nothing like that tbh.. there'll be always to tale of coins, two side of story, so it isn't fair to judge him solely from her pov only, imo.

I don't think I've missed anything but from what I see, what you think as "bully" is backthen when they were kids, I won't judge a kid & labelled him as a bully for the rest of his life esp since his intention is nothing like that & I don't think it's that bad either otherwise her parent won't stand still.

On their highschool days he never did things to be called as a bully, they hv misunderstanding & quarrel like any normal highschool friends will have, imo, or at least, I have, lol.

But we never know how the script for this drama, right? Who knows it's a great one. Heard that Bai Lu wish to play a Xinxia drama as well so this might be the one & to be pair with familiar face/ co-star is another plus thing to consider as an actor as the time spent to adapt will be far less. If she decide to accept the role I totally can see why & her fans shd respect her decision if they are their real fans.

Imo it's better for her to accept this drama so the toxic fans will know that they can't dictate her & they have 0 standing.
She's free to choose whatever drama she want to play, all those nay sayers can get lost.

The only similiarity to me would be they fell on Xinxia category & things that forbid the heroine to realize their feelings, but other than that idt they give the same feelings, at least for me. I love Si Feng character so much while Xu Feng character annoys me & I can't root for CP love on AOL where as on LAR am rooting for CP beautiful love. Also, I find LAR has more exciting things going on in their initial ep like tournament & stuffs which idg in AOL, imo.

Latest casting rumour I heard seems the FL went back to Bai Lu, which I hope both Leo Luo & Bai Lu accepts as their chemistry is unbelievably amazing on Love is Sweet.

But please, don't let this drama become another drama who got ruined by the TOXIC FANS, I've had enough & totally sicked of these self entitled fans who held high horse and think they can dictated their fav actors by threatening & boycotting the drama.

100% wholeheartedly agree

I shared the same feelings, got annoyed on Xu Feng character at Ashes of Love, I got a total second lead syndrome & had to dropped the drama at ep 27, I don't like the first ML FL character nor their story & Run Yu deserve better.
Si Feng & his selfless love on LAR is just too beautiful & unbeatable for me 🙌😄.

You know a drama (as very well their acting & directing) is doing great when it brings you joy, laugh & warm heart throughout the ep but 1 minute epilogue can bring you an instant cry like how they did it here 🙌❤

She can't be protected all the time of her life won't she? so at the moment while he can protect her, he want to built the FL character (she used to be a crybaby) & learn to thicken her skin so she can survive & ready to face the harsh world herself. Yuan Shai's way of thinking is not that farfetched tbh and actually really works in developing the FL character tho it came at the expense of her end up cursing/ hating him.
He isn't that mean either, some of it is just a pure misunderstanding from the FL side.
He also learn his mistakes & doesn't shy away from admitting it if he realized his perception is wrong, a lovely guy I'd say.

Glad if my post could help you to decide 🤭
Just to be sure, you're not watching or you're now watching? 🤣
