Sigh. They want him in epic shows I suppose. Anything else is just dumb to them.

I see. Thanks so much for your answer!

Is the writer for this show confirmed as Baek Mi Kyung? I read in a translated report it is Jo Ryeong-soo?

I enjoyed Lovestruck in the City tremendously. Don't see how it is dumb. Even Backstreet Rookie is not bad.

But he has made the dramas great.

I'm still rewatching episodes daily. No other dramas appeal to me now. Waiting for Evan's new show.

Same! I like Oliver in Goodbye My Princess but after watching Crush, I only have eyes for Evan now.

I watched till ep 14 I think. It's good but I'm scared of continuing cos of the ending. I'm okay with tragic endings but if it's too tragic and unjustified, I can't deal with it. It's the anticipation of how the ML would die that is putting me off to continue. I might come back to it later.

I really like some of the lines I heard in the drama. I watched it in Chinese so I'm doing my own translation here and it may not be accurate cos I'm doing it out of memory, not verbatim:
- NQ: the blind don't understand English
- NQ: that phrase is so old-fashion...I don't even hear it in lyrics now
- NQ: I didn't choose to be with you just so you can take care of me
- WY: when are you going to send me your wedding invite?
- WY: my mom said some walls are fatal when you go knocking against it
- WY: my dad said it's okay to embrace our imperfections (something to that effect)
- WY: He said, "I need you cos I love you".
- WY: The lyrics were "too sweet" and it didn't sound like YJ.
- XL: We didn't realize you can also be happy, angry, sad...
- WY's mom: there are no regret pills to take no matter how regretful one is

There are probably more but these are what I can remember immediately.

I watched 3.5 times so far. 3x the entire 24 episodes and 1x the 1st half before the time jump. Trying hard to quit watching again. LOL.

That's me too! I like the brooding NQ better.

Except the KYV singing! LOL. That was a pain. Otherwise, yes, agree that the voices are soothing. I was quite intrigued with how Xu Qian spoke to Wu Yan. She seemed to take on a different accent for fun.

Haha...I think if it becomes a demand, then it can be very annoying too, no matter how good looking the husband is. I mean, I can feel her when she was in the middle of preparing dinner and had to break away just to open the door.

I wasn't expecting much when I started but boy, I got hooked real deep! Still can't unhook.

Me too...keep coming back here. And I rewatched about 3.5 times! Haha. Can't get over the lovely drama and the OSTs!

I think her walking down the aisle with her eyes closed might be linked to what she said in ep 22...the portion where she told him her heart is blinded the moment she met him.

I don't know why the reason for the eye surgery was random. I thought it was because he missed her so much, he wanted to be in her world...to see what she sees?

Yah, I can understand your feelings. They shouldn't introduce a plot that they can't deal with it properly. It's like that in the novel so the writer didn't give justice to the condition. You can tell all the diagnosis and how the friend talked about it really tried to make it a non-issue.

I thought the portion about his eyes was a trick to get WY back to Xiamen. I don't think his eyes really hurt.

WY got better. There was a portion the friend bade her goodbye in the hospital. But it was so brief, I don't blame many people missing it.

As for Xiao Wei, he has a mother and I guess family in this drama. He was at the school for treatreatment and he did get better. In the novel, he was adopted by NQ's parents.

Me too! I'm rewatching the 3rd time! I think I'm mesmerized by Evan Lin as the ML and their chemistry and the OST. I even went to read the novel more properly again.

I went back to read the novel and also re-watched the drama. I think it's a combination of both...loss of WY and the need for her plus the pressure of life. So in the drama, there was a sense of urgency when he thought he was losing her. And I felt his ability to see added to the pressure cos he wanted to advance (maybe to make up for the losses). Xiao Lu said he was more impulsive after he regained his sight. Plus he is not the typical smooth male so he doesn't know how to woo properly. So he tend to impose himself on her. She on the other hand was used to his ways in the past so probably accommodated but did say it was annoying.

They should have changed some things or lines in the 1st half since they were changing the 2nd half. Cos in the drama, we didn't see a lot of his aggressiveness in the 1st half but he was not so nice in the novel. To me it was very strange she kept saying he's very fierce etc in the drama cos it didn't seem so to me.
