Ywa

I was able to tolerate her until episode 19 but after that, each episode I just want to push her off a cliff. I've only got about 12 episodes left and I've lost faith that she's going to get better.

I was totally into it despite being a bit irritated with the FL until episode 19. After that they were like back to square one and now I'm getting more bored and annoyed each episode.

The mortal world arc is making me want to quit the show. I hate it.

That's it. I can't take it anymore.

Dongfang is amazing but Orchid Fairy is unbearable. I thought, just have patience, she will have character growth but I'm 23 episodes in and she's getting worse: painfully childlike, always scheming behind Dongfang's back, ever obsessed with Chang Heng. I mean, she found out how he became this way, what he went through with his father, she kept scheming to switch back his emotions and when he's vulnerable again she's like "Nah, I don't care about you".

She saw how everybody in her realm turned on her, they would have tortured and killed her and she's like, nope, I'm going to constantly betray the man that saved and protected me multiple times to stay faithful to people who bullied me then tried to kill me. How am I supposed to ship this?

I'm 2/3 into the show as there's no connection between them, just childish bickering.

I liked the FL but what's with all the fuss about Sheng Huai Nan? I found him quite boring and his hot and cold is infuriating. Zhang Ming Rui was so cute on the other hand, wish he was the one she liked.

I'm head over heels for this drama. The OST is beautiful as well.

I don't think I've seen a more pathetic and stupid female lead. Wu Tong's actions didn't make any sense. She finally gets married to the father of her child, and she claims she loves him but she doesn't tell people at work, she won't tell Xiang who keeps saying they're together. They keep saying she's an amazing mother but would even a so-and-so mother do that? Neglect her family to maintain a shady relationship with a man who is not her husband? When is she ever with the boy when Li Zhong is not around? She's always running around with Xiang somewhere.

Not to mention she's basically a sexual predator that stalked Li Zhong and took advantage of him when he was pissed drunk and she knew that he was mistaking her for someone else.

I agree. It's not about including an 18+ scene. They could've included just a few more meaningful looks, a couple of good hugs, a delicate amount of skinship, no kisses necessary. They way they avoid intimacy at all cost in this movie is just too blatantly discriminatory.

They didn't even have too kiss. A couple of meaningful hugs would have sufficed but they seemed repelled by the idea of touching each other in any capacity.

I loved the ending but the chemistry between the leads was just gone in this film. They felt like strangers. I get that the actors didn't feel comfortable kissing on the lips but there are so many other ways to relay intimacy. A tight hug, a kiss on the cheek, a kiss on the forehead, caressing the face. These are things that any good actor should be able to do, no matter who they're acting partner is. It's about showing the characters' emotions.

Just the first one was a 'fish' kiss. The rest were pretty good.

It's one of the few C-dramas I was not tempted to drop halfway because it was becoming stale, this managed to keep me interested all the way to the current episode.

It was indeed a beautiful scene.

Does anybody know/recognize the name of the instrumental song played during episode 11 when Yucheng is talking to Luo Na in front of her room?

Holly cow, episode 20 was certainly something. I was not expecting this from a C-drama, it was a lovely surprise.

Episodes 7-11 were so annoying that I've lost all interest in finishing this. It started out so well, why? I'd much rather follow a really slow-burn romance, than display feeling early on and then have misunderstandings, miscommunication, drama, and fights that are being dragged out episode after episode.

P.S. It got better again after episode 12, phew.

The actress playing the mom is 36 years old while the actress playing the FL is 32. Gina is really beautiful but she does not look 28. She doesn't even look her age but rather 37+. It's still a great drama but I also noticed that the mom looks younger than the FL and it makes things a little off.

I mean, he's 20. He acts his age, it's perfectly normal.

Your partner(s) must treat your pretty poorly, huh? Well, if it makes you happy, keep at it!

Indeed. 'Check Out' left me traumatized haha.
