But this is supposed to have only 17 episodes...?

Okay, thanks. I guess I'll drop this or put in on-hold. This two female leads with the same guy is too difficult, I don't know who to ship :D

So when does Sun Ae turn back to Bong Sun? I have watched a couple of episodes but I find it hard to get into the mood exactly because of what you said. I feel the main female lead is not there so the interaction between the main couple is not real...

I rewatched the first episode, and he was definitely into her during it. He even opened his shirt when he saw her coming! Did he fall for her during the time in Thailand when he noticed he missed her?

Also, how long was the ML in Thailand? (Not putting a spoiler tag, since all this is mentioned in the first episode.) I've read some comments that he was there three years, but it would make no sense as the ML and FL met three years before the series started and they kept talking about her having 3 years of unrequited love - so he wouldn't have been able to return her love from Thailand anyway.

Yes. FL liked and dated the SML when she thought the ML didn't like her back. Later she chose the ML but it was a difficult choice for her.

There are also females who like ML and SML, one for each :)

I wish they would have told more about how the ML felt about FL during those three years. I felt some things in the story were off and was waiting for some sort of explanations. I mean ML definitely seemed interested in FL since the first episode. The way he let her touch his chest always for a while before telling her off, and the way he looked at her. In the end he also revealed that he had thought about her once in a while in Thailand. However he seemed very determined in repelling her and was very mean when he said he hated women like her, "easy women". It was very strongly said for someone your just not that into. So I came up with two possible explanations which neither really fit.
1) She was sort of type he usually doesn't like, so he kept rejecting her but she grew on him, and he was annoyed because he didn't see himself liking that kind of girl. Seems possible. What doesn't make sense in this scenario is SML saying that ML doesn't like the elegant type or whatever, but they have the same taste in women. So wouldn't FL then be even slightly interesting for the ML so he would check her out, as he seemed to be dating anyway?
2) In the drama when ML was rejecting FL and pushing her to be with SML, he kept thinking/saying that SML is much better than him. So it seemed like he sort of felt that he wasn't worth her love, because of the cancer and if he felt guilty about what happened with his brother/family. But this doesn't work as an initial reason to keep such a distance with her, as this stuff hadn't happened yet and he was dating other people.
What do you guys think? Any theories? I wish I could have seen his side or hear his explanation about the things he did that made FL feel so put down during her one sided love.

Yes, very happy ending.

I also thought it was both of them, all memories in same package, but then in the end Jiang Le said he was as bad as the other him or something like that, which sounded like it was just one of them. But especially since she had already accepted the past Zhen Yu it would be a weird twist for him to disappear completely.

I am watching this on dailymotion, but it's probably not a legal version. The video quality is good (720) in most episodes, the sound quality varies.

This is an iQIYI original, but I can't find it on their app. Does it have another name? Where did you watch this?

The story was full of loops and loopholes, but the drama was so well done I enjoyed watching it anyway.

Who does the FL:s voice? Sounds familiar.

I went to wikipedia inspired by this:
"In fall 454 (when he was 14 years old), Emperor Wencheng's concubine Consort Li gave birth to his oldest son Tuoba Hong. In 456, he created another imperial consort, Consort Feng, empress and created Tuoba Hong crown prince—and then, pursuant to Northern Wei tradition, ordered Tuoba Hong's mother Consort Li to commit suicide."
What a nice tradition, I think very much prefer the drama version...

How about General and I? I checked your list and seems like you haven't seen it.

Thanks, that makes sense! I didn't know they can be surgically removed but now I googled, and seems like they can, so it's probably that.

I think Scarlet Heart is quite similar, though it's more realistic and more ruthless.

I guess it's a matter of opinion. I saw this before BOF and much preferred Darren Chen's performance. He makes me feel like he really doesn't care, not like his Face is frozen.
