I find my stance on LLTG pretty controversial, as I actually disliked it for the most part and found the whole show pretty slow and boring, but I really like the theme here of having both the leads be transmigrators rather than just the FL, so maybe I'll wait until I have more time and give it another shot. Thank you!

I only managed to watch 1 episode, and even that was a bit of a drag for me. I just didn't find myself getting hooked. I've seen some interesting clips on TikTok, though, and am debating whether I should give it some more time or not. Could anyone give me their 2 cents?

If you decided to ignore the disclaimer, I'll just warn you again, VERY BIG SPOILER ABOUT THE ENDING AHEAD!!


I just got spoiled by someone who said that the killer is ML's ex. I'm only on episode 7, and now I keep thinking about it. I feel like the whole drama is spoiled now, and I am so angry because I was really enjoying this drama! I wish some people could just add a disclaimer before giving a spoiler, or go to a specific place to talk about spoilers instead of potentially ruining the show for other people. While it is a show that finished airing already, it ended less than a month ago, so it's not surprising that a lot of people are only starting it now. I don't really have a point here, rather than just wanting a place to vent, because now I'm really angry and can't look at the show the same way knowing the ending.

Yeah, I finished episode 15 and was 100% certain. I just had a feeling in that first episode when they brought up the character, but as they went on, it became more and more obvious, especially with all those conversations between XW and Marquis Yan.

If I am remembering right, it was during an old interview, but I'm not sure of the name, as I watched it from a secondary source for English subtitles.

I'm on episode 11, and for the past few episodes, ever since the character was introduced, I've been convinced that Xue Dingfei is, in fact, Xie Wei when he was a child. Now, after the convo between him and Marquis Yan, I'm even more sure. Just needed to say that here so that later if I'm proved right, I can come back to celebrate.

Thank you! I would really appreciate it if you could!!

Yes, I noticed it!! I just have to find the original novel and put it into Google Translate, I guess lol.

Just read the last few episodes of the novel for fun, and now I feel robbed of so many kiss scenes and even the amazing proposal from the book! I really wish this drama had around 33-ish episodes so we could've gotten more scenes from the book dedicated to their happily ever after.

I missed Brandy so much in his domesticated era

Thanks for the info!! I really hope we do get a remake of the older dramas so that they can be better quality and with newer actors.

I think something that comes with Gu Man novels being adapted into dramas is having a VERY satisfying ending. As we now know, she liked to be very active during the production of the drama, making sure that key moments were the same as in the book. I think this is why we got 36 episodes and a fully fleshed-out story, so three cheers for Gu Man!! It also seems like a pattern because Love O2O and You Are My Glory both had a happy ending with marriage for the main CP. I'm not sure if she has any more novels, but I hope that if she does, they will also get turned into dramas and she will stay very active in the production, like for this one.

I really liked how their kissing skills gradually improved as their relationship developed, showing that they were slowly becoming more and more comfortable with each other, while also experiencing their mutual firsts together, as this was both of their first and only relationship.

Agreed. While they definitely changed her makeup and wardrobe to appear more noticeably mature, giving her some new hairstyles would have also been a good call, especially because she was around her mid-thirties at the end. But I still think this is fine, as the ponytail is just a simple hairstyle to wear at home and can be seen as her still being youthful inside!

Omg I didn't even notice that because it was so brief. I just went back to rewatch the episode and noticed it!! I feel so much Canadian pride lol.

Have fun finishing SAL! It's so good, just the ending is a little disappointing due to all the scene cuts, but it's still a great show with all of the chemistry between the leads.

On episode 32 right now and oh my god, the scene when they're tending to the fire has me SCREAMING AND SQUEALING AND KICKING MY FEET!!! How this one scene is somehow better than all their kiss scenes combined, I don't know. But the intimacy of it all and the way she looks at him with these completely in love eyes has my heart fluttering like crazy!!

I've been debating whether I should watch it or not because I keep getting edits and clips of it on my feed on tiktok, and their chemistry and kiss scenes seem super good. Maybe I'll watch it when I'm looking for something because right now I'm pretty booked in terms of upcoming dramas. For example, Love Between Lines is airing on Friday.

The Long Ballad has been on my watchlist for a while, but I can't bring myself to commit due to the high number of episodes. All I know is that all the kisses in Love O2O were some of the worst I've seen.

Ahh, I watched WDBTD after it finished airing and didn't watch LITC because I don't like costume dramas, but good to know!
