You're the best, Thanks :)

Ooh you're Amazing, Thank you so much.

Oh No Hate at All...
And You're Right, Let's Wait Because We Might Be Surprised in a Good Way

Can any kind soul send me the link to read the novel with Eng translation pretty please??? I am on Chapter 139 and can't seem to find the continuation with decent translation.
Thank you in advance

I actually think Arthur Chen will do a great job as Moran (no doubt)...His character in Ever Night testify to that. He will do justice...and I really like his facial expressions especially when he is being mischievous (and oh boi Moran is full of mischief).
I don't know but I really like when an actor grows and gets better and better with the story.
WYB's character in The Untamed was kinda like that, where he got better and better as the story went showing his great effort ans skill...It's just appealing to me.
The one I'm sceptical of but purely because I don't know his work is Leo Luo so I'm going to watch some of his dramas beforehand. Whilst reading the novel I have got quite protective of Chu Wanning character and would want someone who would express all his emotional conflict really well.
I'm beginning to understand why Book Fans gets a little erratic when their fav novel is adapted into a drama. Because you would want actors to preserve the characters identity in the book.

If I had my way, I don't think I would turn this book into a drama. It's a bit complicated and too precious.

I would want that to happen too but Censorship is hot and heavy on these dramas so we will be extremely lucky if we hear Moran calling Chu Wanning any endearing name other than Shizun.

And can you Pretty Please Please tell me the link you read the novel if it has Eng Translation because I have just read up to Chapter 139 and can't seem to find a continuation with decent Translation.

Thanks for the reassurance :)

Thank you for reassurance, I shall start slowly and see where this goes...

Okay, Guys what's the Verdict?
Is it worth watching?
I don't know but when I see the ep number I get an idea of the potential unnecessary angst or breakups which usually puts me off.

Never Ever will we see that from Cdramaland.

You have said it ALL...
I'm in the middle of reading it and so far, it's PERFECTION
It's funny to say but the first words that comes to mind to describe this Drama is LONELINESS & SACRIFICE. Don't know why, I just feel that. I have lost count at how many times I have cried...

I concur to your statement especially on making racy pictures of the Main characters and plaster it on social media.
I saw it for the The Untamed and to be honest I was gutted and then felt uncomfortable. Because just imagine, Wang Yibo or Xiao Zhan seeing those images and animes with their faces on doing racy stuff ?...Really how would they feel...I'm sure they will be offended so for the respect of of these actors, I wish fans wouldn't go to that extent....it's disturbing

Omg! I'm reading the novel and its AMAZING!
I wonder if and how they involve the reincarnation plot into the drama being that China does not allow this.
In the novel Mo Ran is so infatuated by Shimei so I am a little confused/amused by how much backlash the drama had by fans when they heard the news of Shimei and Mo Ran. Or maybe they are annoyed that the Shimei in the drama is a girl not a boy. I wonder if the reaction would have been the same if they did not chnage Shimei gender for the drama.
So far my heart aches for Wanning...

Haha, believe me, I feel you. I'm still annoyed because it just felt like I was watching a complete different drama in the last eps. and I didn't sign up for serious but cutesy.

You're welcome.
So when Lu Jin got handed over NaNan by his naught brother (yep, he pretty much said there you go, mate..hehe). Lu Jin thought the brother had done something to her so he was really hurt...oh and since he had already asked NaNan not to do anything to compromise herself/relationship, he was just hurt....Then he saw the text messages and it clarified things. So apparently the little brother has been selling NaNan a soppy story about how he is lonely, grieving his dad, and want to make amends with Lu Jin therefore needs NaNan's help (it's just my interpretation of the whole pic). E.g He tells NaNan not to tell Lu Jin that they are meeting up because LJ will be angry, however he wants LJ to find out which will look like NaNan is lying to him. Also he took a pic when he got too close to NaNan and send it to Lu Jin to make it seem like they were an item. Oh and he took a pic of LJ arriving at his place and send it to NaNan saying to come over and help smooth things with LJ... whilst he triggers LJ(again telling him how much he is in love with NN) and wanted NaNan to find LJ angry so she can take his side. In a nutshell, he painted himself as a saint to NaNan and a hopeless romantic of NaNan to LJ to create discord between the two. So that's what LJ figured in those text messages and afterwards LJ started playing his game. Basically, pretend to ignore NaNan to make it seem like little brother is winning whilst also protecting NaNan who was being used.

Don't know of it helps or made sense....

Yeah, her naivety gets annoying.
So in the beginning there was no animosity between the brothers but it appears Lu Jin was seeking revenge on dad so out of shock plus illness dad passed away. Then younger bro asked LJ for him to let go of the revenge and stop messing with the company but LJ said Nope. Hence younger brother started plotting against LJ by using GSN (basically creating discord between them= to GSN, he pretends to be a good brother who is lonely and wants to make up with his brother whilst lying to LJ that he likes NaNan) to distract LJ and basically make him unhappy. Little does he know LJ has been in the game for too long so he outdo him but he nearly fell for GSN trap.
To be honest the younger brother is more like a brat seeking for older brother acknowledgement than anything else. But that doesn't excuse him using NaNan.

24 Ep. FINAL REVIEW
So I was already hyped up when entering this drama and the first 10 ep are a GOLD STAR 10/10. Absolute perfection. It had a combination of humour, swoony moments, some sprinkle of serious and oh the Food (I'm now hungry).
Then the last 14 ep are a 6/10 and Why?
Okay, now what got me a little frustrated was the new story arc that was introduced that I honestly didn't care about because the writer didn't give enough value for me to be invested in. Lu Jin's father relationship was tense and that we knew but what threw me off was, I didn't know LJ wanted revenge...I mean we never got a hint and it didn't seem like it's within his character to hurt his dad even if the latter did so. So that plot threw me off.
Then Lu Jin's petty step brother and his mom...Again I really didn't care but I had to because GuShuangnan got involved so I didn't fast forward even if I was tempted. Was also cursing at that Bratt the whole time he used NN.
Then talk about NaNan...she got me so frustrated when she got entangled with step bro during his quest for revenge. Honestly, as I was watching her I kept thinking...Is this gal naive, passive, gullible or plain stupid...sigh
These story arcs didn't do it for me unfortunately....IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THAT DRAMA I FELL IN LOVE WITH.
Alas, I will definitely remember the best chemistry and swoony moments between Lu Jin and NaNan....(the way he always looks at her, Wow)

So that's my Verdict...

P.S. I shall Now go and rewatch that BTS passionate Kiss since they decided to Butcher it in the drama....hehe

No subs and it's Driving me Craaaazy...
Where is that Fairy Subber when I need them.
I've been counting down the days for this Drama to air because the first one left me hanging and a little furious.

Oh Lord have mercy...this us such a blessing...hehe
