They both ick me out SO badly. Like, Jun isn’t bad looking and has some decent qualities…but he ruins all…
Right?
Omg, hadn’t gotten to the bday dinner scene yet.
The mom is UNBEARABLE.
Rude af about DY’s employment position and place of origin.
Where TH does she get off being so high n mighty? Not like their family is rich, especially dignified, or her son has some stellar high paying professional career.
Now shes’s shouting across the table being loud and dramatic?
No wonder DY bolted.
Frankly I’m shocked she went to Jun’s house for his bday at all.
Ugh. I don’t have a single nice thing to say about this crazy woman.
The dad doesn’t have much of a spine, but at least he seems like a more reasonable and easygoing person who only spies on his son to go along with his controlling wife.
I wish the writers wouldn’t make DY end up with Ju n…but we know that’s the plan. 😮💨
Younger men with not much media literacy or understanding of how to form healthy relationships with women watch this kind of nonsense and take it to heart believing if they stalk, pressure, and coerce a girl she will eventually cave and they’ll have a happily ever after.
I was glad when DY told Jun off and laid out his unappealing issues. But now it’s like that scene didn’t happen.
Maybe I should skip the scenes with Jun/his mom to preserve my sanity🥲
I can't stand Jun Cheng and his raggedy ass Mother
They both ick me out SO badly.
Like, Jun isn’t bad looking and has some decent qualities…but he ruins all of them with his creepy stalking, pushover mama’s boy shtick, not having a sense of what’s appropriate in public (shouting, touching over n over after being told no, and embarrassing DY with his extreme fan behavior), and ignoring his job to go talk to his mom.
Come on dude. No woman in her right mind is going to find that stuff attractive or acceptable.
Don’t get me started on his mom.
I have a 19yr old son and it makes me feel sick to imagine treating him like that, invading his privacy, and trying to control his every step in life. GAG. I could NEVER.
Don’t care what anyone says or how low they rate this drama.
The main couple is HILARIOUS and so wholesome.
I absolutely love them & their interactions.
Today watching him tuck her in, mimic her pouting in her sleep, and giving her the teddy to sleep with was adorable.
Then the debacle with his ruined shirt buttons and his sad attempt at sewing had me cackling.
Modern dramas aren’t usually my thing, but I don’t see myself getting tired of their dynamic or not wanting to see more of their love development anytime soon.
Very enjoyable so far and the leads are good! I’ve always like Hankiz and feel that she just needs one breakthrough…
For real. She’s a very talented (and supremely gorgeous) actress who just hasn’t gotten the right project to fully break thru with.
First saw her way back as supporting actress in 2020 in Dance of the Sky Empire with Xu Kai & Wu Jia Li. She immediately caught my attention with her beauty & charm.
I had hoped Love in The Desert with Alen Fang would be the drama that finally drew more attention to her talent and set her up to become FL in higher quality dramas.
The sexual tension and attraction between him & Hankiz was off the charts! I thought they both did a fantastic job.
Unfortunately some unsavory plot points involving the 2nd couple really downgraded the experience for me overall.
I liked their acting as SFL & SML and thought they were well paired as a couple.,,but the story made them pretty unlikable and downright loathsome at certain points.
LITD wasn’t a bad drama at all. Still, it didn’t quite hit the threshold to become Hankiz’ breakout performance that would get her widespread recognition.
Really hoping this drama gets good word of mouth (and continues to be good quality) so she can finally become better known and appreciated as a n actress.
I’ve seen ML in Burning Flames & Dashing Youth. He was very good in both. He also had a decent small part in Moonlit Reunion.
He & Hankiz are almost too pretty together😂 But I’m not really complaining. I’ll continue to happily feast my eyes.
Here’s hoping the drama becomes a sleeper hit and gains them both new fans/better future prospects.
What?? That’s far too many for my taste. If this is true he would only be truly special to her if she chose…
Seriously. 22 lovers across 400 years is NOT many at all.
It’s legit insane that anyone is criticizing her for this or saying 22 is “too many”
Ffs.
Bunch of irrational purity culture fiends.
So she should never have companionship or romance in her 400 years?
Actually having 22 before DY and her not caring about any of them/ much/treating them as flings while solely treating DY with sincerity and true emotional investment is what shows how important he is/how he alone has her heart in all her 400yrs.
Sigh.
Maybe I’m just old (42), but imo it’s gross and ridiculous to shame SM for having lovers across the centuries of her life.
22 is a very modest, reasonable number of romances to have across 400 yrs.
She’s using her real voice. All of them are. 😅 She’s acting like a green tea so she gotta be extra sweet…
I’m not finding any of the acting cringey, per se.
More funny than anything.
JJY & TJR are very funny playing off each other.
I really like that JJY doesn’t have her usual ridiculously overdone makeup here. She looks so beautiful with her face less buried under layers. Less makeup lets her features shine on their own.
Her green tea mock innocent flirting with TJR is hilarious.
Yan An’s exasperated face whenever he’s subjected to witnessing their flirting is a riot.
Mmmm, so happy Edward Gou gave us YA’s arm sexily bared 24/7.
I know not everyone will love the drama and that’s totally ok….but for me it’s making me very happy so far.
I feel utterly spoiled by VOS & Love Beyond the Grave airing simultaneously.

I think as a mom with a son I’m extra repulsed by her behavior.
It reminds me of those creepy self proclaimed “boy moms”.
🤮
For sure the dinner scene was also my last straw.
I legit didn’t think I could loathe her more…how wrong I was😅
I’m in solidarity with u for skipping that nonsense from here on out.
Omg, hadn’t gotten to the bday dinner scene yet.

He plays a masked Dr in Legend of Rosy Clouds.
Funny enough I guessed it was him just from seeing his eyes thru the mask.
He has very distinctive features and unique eyes.
He also has a special presence that came thru even though he wears a mask as Jiang.
I thought he was super hot in My Journey To You.
Love to see him get more exposure and higher quality roles.
But hey, I’m glad my words worked for you.
*im not actually mad, just shocked and amused.

I just started the drama and I’m already 😮💨 at his secret self-sacrificing.
I’ll look past my annoyance and general dislike of this trope because I adore Vengo Gao.
He stole my heart long ago as Dong Hua in Eternal Love & (even more) in Eternal Love of Dream.
The drama seems cute and not too heavy so far. I’ll keep watching.

They aren’t always paired with costars who can match their skill or gravitas.
Very excited to see them next to each other on screen.
I was agreeing with you, for sure.
I hope you can enjoy CDL in The Glory some day.
But for now, she is great in Veil of Shadows💜
I’ve been waiting for what seems an eternity for this one to air.
Although I’m enjoying Veil of Shadows, I’m a bit bitter that it was released before Hidden Shadow.
Come on Youku, give us our Li Hongyi fix already!!
It’s good to have this as your palate cleanser before The Glory.
She is not “nice” or sweet whatsoever in that role but her cunning and ruthless actions are warranted for her character.
Her role in VOS is much more easy to love, imo.
I find her range impressive.
While overall I enjoyed Fangs of Fortune, she wasn’t the main draw for me and I like her character in VOS (and TG) much better.
She’s a great actress.
It’s a testament to her skill that her as YBC made her so widely reviled that many couldn’t stomach to watch her in another drama for years.
More funny than anything.

That was the one that finally washed away YBC hatred for me and let me appreciate her in another role.
Boy oh boy tho, the way she made me hate her as YBC is on a level of loathing I rarely hit with fictional characters.
But somehow despite their differences I still see a lot of magnetism and potential future harmony between them.
Opposites attract, as they say.
