Taz-mania

The novel is from the same author (Niao Song Mi) who wrote the "Prince Too Wild" novel. I'm almost done reading that novel. The Prince Too Wild dramas only covers about the first half of the novel (novel has 247 chapters) - lots of crazy that didn't make it into the drama. I plan to read the Shen Qing You Yin novel next. But given the discussion on the open ending to the drama, I didn't want to waste my time either watching the drama or reading the novel. But the novel has a happy ending (which given its from the same author as Prince Too Wild, I would have been shocked with any other ending). Shen Qing You Yin is even longer than Prince Too Wild as it has almost 300 chapters.

Also, thanks for posting all of the links. Your efforts are much appreciated!!

Final extra had them with their 5 1/2 year old daughter...

Wonder why they didn't go with the ending from the novel...

A second version

The Zhang Yun Tao version seems to follow the first half of the novel pretty closely.

I really liked the version with Zhang Yun Tao.

I would love a list of all the versions of this drama with links. If anyone runs across one, please post! Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! This is awesome!

Just watched the Zhang Yun Tao version - it was great.

Woohoo! I'm in awe of both you and Jwells! Thanks for the help, it is greatly appreciated!

Thanks! Good to know.

FL's mother reminds me of the ML's mother in Healer as he was also abandoned by his mother when she remarried. When Healer's grandmother died he ended up in juvenile. His father's friend took him in when he got out of juvenile but abandoned him when he came of age. Healer however never held his horrible mother accountable for being a horrible mother. The drama even included a scene where Healer's mother brought him a winter coat - of course, she gave it to him at the park cause I guess Healer wasn't welcome at her home. At least the FL in The First Frost is (so far as of Episode 15) holding the mother accountable for her actions of abandoning her child. I thought Healer's mother was horrible and so is the FL's mother in TFF. Neither deserve the title of mother. Both mother's had a child with their new husband's and neither Healer or the TFF FL find out about their half sibling for years.

A few others oldies that I enjoyed:
My Little Happiness
The Love You Give Me
The Day of Becoming You
Forever Love (the 2020 drama with Wang An Yu)
Someday or One Day (Taiwanese)
Eternal Love - Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms (Fantasy/Wuxia)
Put Your Head on My Shoulder
Just Between Lovers
Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
Kill Me, Heal Me (Ji Sung is awesome with his 7 personalities)
Queen In Hyun's Man (2012 time travel)
Le Coup De Foudre

Also, its a 2014 drama but one of my all time favorites is Healer.

I really enjoyed The Story of Kunning Palace (one of my favorite dramas of 2024). Romance between the leads doesn't kick in until later in the drama but it is worth waiting for...

And she was even worse in the novel!

Some excellent short web dramas
Thousands of Years of Love
Provoke (all by director Zeng Qing Jie are good)
A Familiar Stranger
Night of Love With You
Destined to Meet You
The Killer is Also Romantic

Some excellent historical dramas:
The Story of Kunning Palace ( with Bai Lu)
Blossoms in Adversity
Love Between Fairy and Devil
Alchemy of Souls (Seasons 1 & 2) (Korean)
Fall in Love (Republican Era 2021 drama with Chen Xing Xu)
The Long Ballad
Love Like the Galaxy

Some older contemporary dramas:
You Are My Hero (with Bai Jing Ting)
You Are My Glory (with Yang Yang) (all Gu Man dramas are good)
Love is Sweet (with Bai Lu)
Amidst a Snowstorm of Love (with Leo Wu) (most of Mo Bao Fei Bao dramas are good)
Lovely Runner (Korean)
Twinkling Watermelon
Here We Meet Again
Go Go Squid!
Lighter & Princess
A Business Proposal (Korean)
Fireworks of My Heart (with Yang Yang) (has traumatized heroine)
Skate Into Love

All of Zhu Yi novels that have been turned into dramas, have been outstanding. Hopefully, she has many more novel in the pipeline...
