All good. My comment was more about many other comments bemoaning about lack of chemistry. The drama may not follow the path of the original story. The title may be two reasons. They think adding the words love in any drama might attract more lookers, but as seen, the over saturation of the word has led to an opposite effect.

BL dominates too much in dramaland and because most dramas are catering to females too much, the fantasy element has tilted to demand for "more" unrealistic dreamy fairy-tales. Your second comment is quite stereo-typical. Not all old people behave the way of "old married" couple, yet not all younger people behave shy or fixated.

Finally, has anyone thought that the title fighting for love is not about the type of love many are talking about? It could be, they know there are too many classic revenge stories and want to turn it on its head and the ultimate fight was in the end about love not hate. The story is probably A Mai's journey from hate to love.

@mysteryqueen9 The problem with answers like yours show you still fall into believing stories should be about some sort of journey and should have dated fairytale endings. Story of Minglan ML character was a classic draggy stock character. It was deliberately set up so that he had that "journey" which to be honest was the weakest part of the story. Story of Minglan's success was the details of family saga and the lesser characters surrounding social/class and not ML's development.

This drama looks very unpredictable which is why A Journey to Love had a bit of success due to not knowing which way it goes, but it seems too many childishlessly down vote dramas because their drama's ending didn't have a "fairy tale" ending.

I think this is the new drama. It's been set up already, but names not confirm 'officially' yet. TSY female lead, Hou Ming Hao and Wang Duo are other rumoured casts.

Yes they are. They are both with H & R Century. Same as Liu Xueyi.

The ending was fine with me too. I think too many viewers are in some kind of fairy tale land. The whole point of the story was to show that love can be for that moment, and no matter how many promises or planning, they all enjoyed their time whilst it lasted. The irony is the few characters that are alive were the ones the team was supporting in a strange way (directly or indirectly). It's glamourising sacrifices made and showing how fragile small mistakes can make.

It's possibly releasing on 19/01/24.

Apparently releasing on 19/01/24 on IQIYI.

They are still filming right now.

This is not official, but I'm guessing they will have another 2-3 weeks left.

Beautifully told. Almost dream-like. Mixing seriousness with comedy makes this drama more powerful, helped by the music. Yu Zhe Jia played by Su Ke was one of the funniest and memorable characters that stood out for me. But everyone did a great job. Highly recommend it for those looking for high quality costumes, settings and good script.

I'm on episode 18. It just gets better. Packed with toxic and messy stuff. Right up my street. So entertaining, funny and fast paced. Not seen anything like this in ages.

Lol, China's a massive country. There's a whole range of features there. If you go to China, and travel around then you'll see this. XZ is attractive, and he definitely looks Chinese to me.

This is one of those mad-cap story lines where this drama goes off the rails. Prince Dang Yang is flattened and half dead under a signage, the next 2 hours, he's standing bolt upright like nothing had happened to him. I think it's just a short-cut poor excuse to get Ru Yi & Ning Yuan Zhou back, cutting out all the middle-bits. I'm not entirely sure how both suddenly come to such insight where elsewhere in the storyline there were next to no hints. It's one of those cheated moments. Felt like someone was desperate to close out something in a hurry. It could well be funding shortage, but that was not what I felt when seeing this happen.

As far as I know, this is what she's meant to be like. If you stay and watch more, you will slowly see her character change, but in a very natural and subtle way. Not like some dramas that make big points about people changing behaviour.

I had always been saying he should have been chosen to play Wen Ke Xing in Word of Honor, and seeing him here in his role just reminds me of his ability.

That's the whole point of what you wrote. The writers know you will fall into this type of classic feeling and deliberately put in characters that will do the complete opposite. You are not meant to feel their sudden feelings, but you also know it will be the most likely pairing too. The fact that you believe there is nothing special in the princess to warrant his affection already tells me you have been sold the idea that YSS's character deserves better, all because of how his background. What better than pair him with a classic two dimensional character that will no doubt grow? You also forget, she's also throwing all her airs and graces for this womanising criminal.

Well I'm in the UK, I can see it with IQYI.

He's a Ren Jialun lookalike as far as I see it.
