Lol 😆

The relationships that feel the most real and that are built on strong foundations are always my favourite in cdramas. Excessive sulking or obsessive behaviour is always hard for me to enjoy. NW got it right. Cheering them on was all part of the fun.👍

Lulu's dramas have been front-loaded so far this year. Hopefully, the trend continues, and it will air in the next couple of months. 🤞

Yes, I've heard about this. The promotion game in Cent is a strange business. They seem to try all sorts of things to generate heat. It often seems to rile up the fanbases on weibo, etc. Lol 😆

Will do. I'll add it to my watchlist and give it priority. I see this is what the buzz was about regarding their new play. He has finally graduated to Lulu's FML after playing second fiddle twice. 🤭

I'll make sure to check it out.

Their relationship is actually one of my favourites in Cdrama. I really love the way the male characters were written in Northward. Even SXC briefly as the third wheel was enjoyable. He never became sulky or obsessive. He just moved forward with his life and remained a true friend. His exchange with XFH, where she wished him happiness and true love, and he wished her long life and happiness with XWH was so touching. It was beautifully done.

😁 Yes, me too. I absolutely adore WXY. He just has such a masculine aura. Pair that aura with phenomenal talent and you get fireworks on screen. He's the type writers and directors can craft new stories around. I'd actually really love to see him in a hero's journey type of role with him physically, along with his development as the primary focus.

Agreed. She's in her element here. Love this pairing. She hasn't put a foot wrong this year. Lulu is really spoiling us in 2025.

Yes, it is a gift. You either have it or you don't. She definitely has it.

She certainly has a real screen presence and charisma. It should always be given a little room to be expressed. I'm looking forward to Feud (2025) with JZ. So, I'll definitely pop into that comment section when it airs. 😊

It's good to see the development of an actor. I'd like to see some of her early dramas to see how far she's come.

No, I haven't seen those. I'll check them out. Thank you 😊

Finished. I adore this drama. I absolutely loved every second. I feel like I've met many of these characters before. Everyone is just so real and relatable. I loved the struggles, failures, and successes. I connect with the desire to always move forward, no matter the difficulty. Beautifully written, beautifully shot, beautifully acted. It all came together to create something special.

Finally, Lulu has won me over. I was a doubter. Not sure if I truly believed she was a great actor. More of a star than a performer. I actually didn't like her in TSOKP. I thought the role was too complex for her. But then I saw her in TTEOTM, and I loved her in it. I caught her again in MM, once again, see was amazing. Maybe I was wrong, but maybe not. Perhaps Xianxia fantasy is where she excels and does her best work. Perhaps it when she steps outside, she struggles. When I saw the trailer for this, I got excited. This is the one I've been waiting for. I knew Northward would answer that question, and answer it did. She was simply flawless and delivered a complete and thorough performance. Depth and nuance, she gave it all. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. 👏👏👏

I think I owe it to her to give TSOKP another try. I might have been a little harsh . But there is no doubt that after Northward, I'm a true believer in the abilities of Lulu. I'll never doubt again. 😁

Yes. It's going to be a long wait. But so far 2025 has been kind / generous. Out of the five dramas I've watched, I only really didn't like one of them. If 2025 keeps it up, LITC will be here in no time. 😁

At 35. Will finish tomorrow. I love this drama. It has been such a beautiful and moving experience.

At Ep 25 (the concert ep). So bittersweet 😭

Trailer looks great. Count me in.

Finished episode 9. Wow! What a roller-coaster. Highly humorous, dark and heavy, beautiful and sweet. It had it all. Lulu is really putting in work. I've been loving her bullish and bold tomboy role. However, her sudden change to vulnerable within this episode was really something else. Great acting. XWH is the hero of the day ❤️. I'm glad he didn't listen this time.

Well deserved

Tbh, I believe it's because the cdrama side of mdl has an obvious bias towards costume dramas. CDs tend to get inflated ratings here while real drama gets undervalued.
