It's related to the step mother. It was vague...but kinda like the step mom used to be his tutor and he liked her (but could be cos she filled the motherly gap). She in turn love his dad.

Btw, they didn't follow the reason given in the novel...which is a stronger reason.

I find it reasonable. When people are emotional, they can't think clearly and can make the most irrational decision. The reason is weak but cos it's weak, it is then easier for them to make up 3 years later. Over time, she would realize that what she said to him was impulsive. But I would say he shouldn't have been mean to her when she came back for him. It makes it harder for her to justify her return for a man who didn't appear to value her efforts.

Ep 15 made me cry a river! ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚

After watching ep 14, I have a question: did NQ really disregard WY when they were in love? Aside from the recent issue of him forbidding her to go home because of his insecurity, I thought he treated her rather well? Am I mistaken?

She was confused at the moment...scared and also probably feeling guilty. Cannot expect her to have a cool head to explain clearly. Plus he was pushing her and making it frustrating for her. As for him, he has a lot of issues and baggage. So cannot expect him to behave normally as we hope. Too much insecurities. Just imagine you can't see and you have to rely on your imagination.

Haha...I'm hoping it to be ep 16. Right now the plot has deviated slightly from the novel. I hope they'll follow it...especially the reason for the breakup. Otherwise, I feel the current reason is a bit weak. Well, let's wait and see.

It's quite typical for dramas to add conflicts and then sweeten the story later no? As long as they don't drag out and make it stupid, misunderstandings aren't bad.

No dragging. It's progressing according to the plot.

I finished reading the novel and I think this drama is adapting real close. Going by the previews and the stills I've seen on social media, it looks like they're following closely to the book except of course the portion about him regaining his sight. Am excited for ep 13 onwards!

I was lukewarm about watching this drama and only started it cos of Wan Peng. I liked her in My Girlfriend Is An Alien. Then I got hooked. The ML is SOOO good-looking! OMGosh! I was so surprised he is a newbie actor but he can act pretty well. I like the story too...it's got a lot of emotional depth but not draggy. I also like the 2nd leads and the FL's no-nonsense roommate. It's a quality production for sure.

This drama started out pretty well and I think the main reason was the little boy. They tried to cover too many things in the 2nd half and it lost the appeal. I found myself fast-forwarding a lot. The last few episodes were rushed and unconvincing.

She isn't so bad. In fact, she's quite cute and I like her paired with Xu Kai.

Rewatching and it's still as good! Caught some stuff I kinda missed. Like TY declaring her age is 22 to ML at ep 4 I think.

The FL in AOL was childish and unfeeling for a good reason. I think that's quite key and should have been mentioned.

In Chinese, there is a saying: 情不知所起一往情深...sorta means I don't know when it started, but I'm deeply in love. I think his love for her was gradual and it probably started when he began opening up her power.

It's definitely disappointing at first watch. When I rewatched, it wasn't so bad. Maybe cos my mind is already conditioned to accept it. Haha.

A few of the fantasy dramas I like have this kind of abrupt ending...Ashes of Love, Eternal Love, Love & Destiny...but ALP is the shortest reconcilation!

Yeah I know what you mean. And you raised a good point about plot-point to push the story forward. If we consider what he said during his sacrifice, he doesn't mind if he remains hated but all he wished was for her to live well, you're right that he doesn't really want her to have her memory back.

It is! Highly recommend it in terms of storyline and execution! Beautiful dialogues especially if you can understand Chinese. But I'll qualify that I hope you'll take to the cast especially ML & FL. I didn't watch L&R cos I wasn't into the cast.

I think she cannot believe that BJ would be completely restored so she was expecting half of him. Haha. But of course deep down, she was hoping he is neither but just BJ.
