This drama/novel really brings out strong emotions.

A few comments out there saying there’s no chemistry between the leads, or it’s too slow…...Impossible for me to understand!!!

I have watched too many romance dramas to count. But the chemistry and intensity of this one is unmatched.

the pacing is just right, if anything I wish it was slower…so I have more time to absorb and feel what they are going through. Rewatching for sure.

my Oura ring told me- “somethings affecting your sleep” 😂

yea I won’t mind dreams of LZ and Ben. 😉 I know what you mean, the music is always in my head

I think he is afraid of hurting her more, if he dies. that’s why the distancing and coldness. Remember that part another bomb expert dies and the wife/girlfriend was sobbing? So in a way he is protecting her

Sleep deprivation! - That’s how I know a drama is even better than 10/10!! 😂😂

yes!! agree with you!! I spent half an hour searching for his version on Spotify…couldn’t find it. His voice is the best

I know this is a not an easy story to watch/read. But I just want to point out that it also shows how strong and capable of love humans are, despite all odds, and that is both the realistic and beautiful message I get from this.

also what I found beautiful in the novel was her acceptance of him. They told her people like him will either kill someone else or kill themslves. She told him- you don’t have to be strong or have to get better, the way we are is good, and I’ll always stay with you. it’s ok to be vulnerable. doesn’t matter if you can’t figure out what’s real or not, just remember we are married. (something like that)

I only read last few chapters, so there may be a chunk in between I’m missing.. The end goes like this- he got captured, was tortured for 6 months, during that time he thought she was dead. Then he got rescued, but in the worst shape possible and severely traumatized. She was there when they got him out, and she brought him back to China. she basically devoted herself to take care of him, and they got married. The epilogue described the years after marriage, they have 2 kids, she wrote books and got famous, he struggles with his health and ptsd. At the end his body just couldn’t take it anymore, and I guess he lost the fight, so he killed himself. A few years later she was back at East country and was shot while trying to save someone. And it said maybe she wanted to reunite with him sooner. It made sense if you want a realistic novel, given the amount of physical and emotional trauma he suffered, he did the best he could to stay with her and kids for those years. And it was very clear that they loved each other deeply, no blames.

no- sad ending in the novel, but all the details in the novel helped the ending to make sense. Its so well written that it hurts even more to read, if you know what I mean.

for everyone who’s obsessed with this drama, go check out the English translation on Wattpad. it’s only 68 chapters + very long epilogue. BUT it is very good!!! I think it helps complete this drama, especially the thought process for the ending.

exactly! Chemistry is a feeling- of intense attraction, and awareness, and having someone on your mind day and night. It does not necessarily have to be physically acted out. What these 2 are so good at is communicating through their eyes.

absolutely love this!! ❤️❤️🤩🤩
Main couples acting is superb, chemistry so subtle but intense.
I’m literally holding my breath when watching their beautiful eyes that speak without needing words.
Happy or sad ending, I’m hanging onto every second!!!
but yes, a happy ending would be perfection!

which 2 dramas are you referring to in the beginning of your review, and who is YSX? sorry I’m personally very bad at matching abbreviations.

what is SoKP please?? thanks

this is a bubble that my husband will never understand 😂😉

my plan to “get over” drama withdrawal:
1. listen to OST constantly- because I truly love it
2. watching Dashing Youth- I just need more Neo
3. planning to rewatch in a month
4. keep my thoughts on Neo- I just love him too much, I don’t actually want to move on, it’s my happy bubble

I also thought about this, WX is mortal but a goddess, what does this mean for her longevity??? obviously I want a happy ever after for them.
maybe her life is prolonged somehow.

“YuanZhou’s Youth” - absolutely breathtaking music, can’t believe Neo’s voice is so angelic and tormented

I fell in love with 3 men in 1 week : first was ZYZ, next was ZYC, and finally LL. Actually 4 if you count the “topless” ZYZ. 😂😜
