I normally don't fall for a face like yours. I'm usually immune to that kind of charm. But you didn't win me over with your looks. You crept in slowly, unconsciously, and before I knew it, I was irrevocably and helplessly drawn into your orbit.
You were so shameless. So bold. You pushed and poked and crossed lines that made me want to shake you. But the more you did it, the more my heart ached for you, because I realized what you were really doing. You weren't just being reckless; you were just trying. Trying to get a flicker of affection, a single smile, a scrap of warmth from the woman who holds your entire world in her hands.
And that is what destroys me about you.
Every single moment you spent clinging to life wasn't for power or pride. It was purely selfish in the most beautiful way. You just wanted to be there a little longer. A few more days, a few more hours, just so you could bask in her presence, waiting patiently for the day she might finally return your love.
You know you need to give her space. You know she has to come to her own terms. But you are only human, and loving her is a dangerous game of restraint that you keep losing. I see you try so hard to hold back, only to fail spectacularly because your heart overflows too much. You can't help but toe that line, cross her boundaries just a little, because the longing is simply too great to contain.
People may call you a simp. But you are a man with nothing to lose because you know you are on borrowed time. Does that excuse every boundary you push? Maybe not. But I understand the desperation behind it. Everything you do, every shameless advance, every heroic sacrifice. It's all a blueprint for her future. You are building her a world where she can have everything she wishes for, even if you aren't there to see her enjoy it.
So, Xia Hua Yong, thank you for teaching me what it means to love without holding back. Even if it breaks me to watch you fight a losing battle, I will be here, rooting for you until your very last breath.
The rating on douban keeps decreasing but the rating on mdl increases lol. What a contrast. It's at 4.8 in douban.…
bao shangen is a phenomenal actress.. she did so well here. the scene at the couch when she was drunk and they shared a vulnerable moment... was very powerful and magnetic
i think i am at ep 21. but i find this story a bit of a stretch and very dramatic but yet i cant seem to stop watching. I saw some preview about FL moving into ML hse - and sharing a bed? very strange, esp after being estrange for 10 years. and the ML repeatedly saying he will make her pay for leaving him etc etc. So why is it that they share a bed? I know i am jumping the gun here. I also know the ML definitely love her no matter what he is saying, but still goodness what kind of plotline is this?
just watched ep 11= callback to story of kunning palace.. why must we revisit this kind of scene... so easy to take a knife and ask people to kill you?
i am still at early stages of watching, not really able to follow this new way of story telling and not really caring for other people except for the FL and ML, which is not usual for me. Feeling Prince Li is a bit of a wimp.... althought he has a sad reason why he is like that. but i cant find him likeable or symphatise with him at the moment.
anyways, my question is, at which point does Prince Ding love/care for his wife? so far, i feel it is more like ok i have been arranged marriaged and he is aware he rescued her before and she in turn , was one of the reason he is still alive despite imprisonment.
as for ye li herself, was she truly in love with prince ding? or more like admiration ? and purpose to repay prince ding for what he did (or what his brother request was) by healing his legs?
at which point was it made clear that she also loves him, and he she?
I read about the Director's words on Lim Je Yeon's acting performance in MRN. He said "She left the crew speechless:…
when she cried .... after ML found her passed out and locked in the office? when she realised she is completely and utterly in love with him and totally helpless of what to do next? that was very powerful for me
I knew it!! She's really Seori. She didn't time travel and she doesn't have to go back. Kang Danshim and Seori…
i am still confused about this. i know seo ri knows she is seori and not kang da shim. but how did she arrived at this conclusion. all she did was seeing glimpse of memories that she assumed was the real seori... and she is but a traveler in the current body. so how did. she finally distinguished that she is she? Is because she lost her memories when she was drowning in the car? but then how to explain when suddenly she lost her confidence as a child star after the accident> is it bcoze she had amnesia?
The acting is good, after all, this is Bai Lu and Cheng Lei, and both deliver convincing performances. The story…
i concur.. everything you just said. at the moment it feels....very choppy, cut and paste. i cannot follow very well.. doesnt allow enough time for me to breathe.. ie sook in what's happening. it moves pretty quick and dont allow once to dwell on the feeling. ALso i cannot tell if this is gonna me comedy, tragedy, revenge ... it is all rolled into one. so my feelings are mix. still i am watching it coz i genuinely care about the leads
i want to like this drama.. just watched til ep3. but struggling to follow the fast pace, back and forth who's who in the show. i love the FL and ML. so.. i shall continue and hope that the storyline starts to sink in.
yeah... if the drama is too heavy i may not be open to it at the moment. i have yet to watch , When Life Gives You Tangerines. which brilliant acting by the leads. but i cant handle too much depressing, tragedy.
tell me about it... ... i cant find anything worth watching or any magnetic roles like Ci sha's atm. but pray share anything else worth watching. I am watching my royal nemesis.. which is very good too. the acting is top notch..... and the yearning is real. but other than day.. nothing really holding my attention, i tried ashes to crown, and dazzling .... both ok.... dazzling having a bit of an upper edge for me - but nothing that has made sit up and take notice.

from the synopsis, it is truly interesting
