seeing this ratings and comments hurt because the drama was actually well written, from the cases to the stories…
Slice of Life does seem to be less popular with users on this site, as well as slice of life that's light on the romance when people expected it to be more of an emphasis. 😉 Then people get disappointed cause their expectations get dashed and then say the drama is "boring" or "badly written." 😔
on episode 4 now. ML just insists on hanging out with FL, her friend, and their old classmate, when they only…
The ML annoyed me at times, too. A lot of modern MLs in Cdramas are like this: jealous, petty, and possessive. That said, Sang Yan does improve. A lot of people on here seem to think he was perfect; I don't think he was, and besides that, his devotion to the FL is pure fantasy (if someone was that fixated in real life I think it'd actually border on the creepy). I still ended up liking him (love the actor, and there are things the character does that are admirable and really sweet abd thoughtful) as well as the romance, even if I didn't like everything about the drama.
as the title suggest and as is referenced many times in the drama, this takes place during the tang dynasty
To be sure, I can, haha. I wasn't critiquing, just observing. 😉 Clearly historical accuracy is not what most dramas go for (and that's fine), but I was just curious if some dramas I haven't seen maybe don't fit the "take liberties with history" pattern I've seen.
Fab show! no unnecessary drama but a real feel slow burn show of love, healing and companionship. the chemistry…
This is my second drama with Liu Yifei and she has had good chemistry with both MLs. She's good at the banter and flirting. She has a unique way of carrying herself amongst her female costars so she just stands out.
Very different from Hidden Love as a vibe, but similar in that it's very main couple focused and not much "plot"…
Yeah, he plays the gorgeous heart throb really well. 😏
Both the leads are way more charismatic and magnetic in HL than the way they're portrayed in FF (I mean Sang Zhi and Duan Jiaxu). I actually would have loved to see the ML from HL match his riz with BJT--they both would have been fun to watch in scenes together!

I didn't like the part as much when she was a child/in high school. It is better when she is in the college. My favorite bits are when they are flirting and he's finding out he's her crush. I think it's around Episodes 12-16 or so that have my favorite parts. I didn't like the end as much because I didn't like how they kept it from her parents.
But Sang Zhi's a a lot more entitled and spoiled than Yifan, right? 😅 Like Sang Yan before he got rejected the first time and realized the world didn't revolve around him, haha.
yes. he has better character development in this version.
I thought it was satisfactorily updated and improved in this version! The ML has the best character development in this version in my opinion. This version is the most low budget, but the most satisfying to watch!
I'm just starting it and I'm seeing comments about Hidden Love. I'm currently on episode 1 and it feels slow.…
Very different from Hidden Love as a vibe, but similar in that it's very main couple focused and not much "plot" outside tracking the couple's entire love story from first twinge of love to happily-ever-after (Hidden Love is similar that way). It totally feels like the same writer, but like a completely different kind of story. I don't know if that makes sense?
There are similar beats and characteristics to Hidden Love, but this drama is about a warm and steady love that heals deep wounds rather than a love that's, well, hidden (and hopeful and young and playful). 😅 It also intertwines with the timeline of Hidden Love and even has Qian Fei's wedding, but with a focus on Sang Yan and Wen Yifan rather than on Duan Jiaxu and Sang Zhi.
There is still pretty amazing chemistry in this at times, but the tone of the couple and the entire drama is completely different. I feel like I can compare this drama to the experience of watching a person (Sang Yan) slowly, and with painstaking effort and care, coax a cat (Wen Yifan) out from under the bed till it's ready to curl up permanently on their lap, happy and content in their person's love. 😅
