Lol, he looks so shy around her. I guess he might be considerate since she is older so he wants to be respectful. Thank you for sharing the video. The bts are so cute.

Yeah. I would rather have no kiss at all than what they did. It is good that you do not completely agree with me. Because of different views I was able to find out this drama was not even supposed to have a focus on romance. I had no idea and started watching with the wrong expectations. I wish I could re-watch it with a new set of eyes. Maybe a few years from now.

A good actor is able to do all kinds of different roles. The fact he did so well here even tho it is different from his usual roles shows how much potential he has. I will definitely keep an eye for his future dramas.

Dont get me wrong, I prefer a good plot with slow paced romance than a drama with a lot of kisses but that has no essence. I have never read the manhua and when I started watching I only knew this was supposed to have romance, and it did and I was ok with them taking things slowly. But because I was under the impression this was supposed to have some focus on romance, I was disappointed when it didnt focus on it as much as I expected. Even the princess seemed to have more romantic scenes than the FL. I guess it was because they tried to add an element that was not originally supposed to be there.

Btw, I have watched all the dramas you have mentioned. I have watched quite a lot of dramas in different genres. As for Eternal Love, you are right, definitely top on the list when it comes to skinship and probably the first Chinese drama I watched with so many kisses. I liked that one more for the comedy part and how refreshing it was because at the time there was nothing like it. I like different genres and watch depending on my mood. Sometimes I look for a more serious story that has a good development, other times I want something less complex just to pass time.

This drama is definitely a good one and I am sure I would have enjoyed it more had I not have gone into it with the wrong expectations.

I was actually checking his past dramas since I liked his acting and it seems he rarely plays characters in dramas that have romance. I was surprised cause he did really well in this drama when it came to showing his character’s feelings for the FL.

I liked the character development the FL had, I liked the ML, I liked the second couple, I liked other things about the drama, BUT... I felt like it never reached its full potential. For one, I was not satisfied with the explanation they gave us for the whole thing that happened in the beginning and that made the FL seek revenge. And more than anything, I was quite disappointed with the romance between the main leads. Any other couple seemed to have more romance than them. There was 1 kiss the entire drama and it was a fake kiss with a bunch of distractions to make us forget how the actors did not even actually kiss. I am not sure why, as far as I know neither of the actors have a no kiss clause in their contract.

Anyway, it is a good drama, but not as good as it could have been.

I would still recommend it if you like historical dramas and character development. I really wanted to recommend it for the romance too, but the ML carried the whole romance part and the FL just happened to be there. I usually dont pay much attention to the second couple, but here the second couple kind of stole the show in terms of romance.

I dont usually watch dramas on my phone but the most importand question is - are the subs good or just like the ones on YouTube?

Exactly. The idea of the drama was not bad, it was the execution that left much to be desired.

No worries. I did like this drama and I know when you enjoy a drama it is easy to become biased. You probably wanted to defend it because you were unable to see anything wrong with it at the time. As much as I loved this drama, the way we were shown those scenes definitely had "rape" written all over it. Since so much of the scene was left to our imagination, its normal that some people imagined the worse while others thought it was not THAT serious.

Yaya and Nadech probably did not agree with that scene either but they were playing their roles. In real life, if Nadech did that to Yaya, I am sure she would kick him through the window. lol

Anyway, what you did with deleting the comments and taking the time replying means you are a humble person who is willing to learn with their mistakes. That is great. Not many people are able to do that. So you also have my respect. ^^

Hello again. XD
This drama definitely has flaws too, but if a drama leaves me with an overall good feeling when I finish watching, I tend to focus on the good things when I comment about it.

The same thing happens when a drama leaves me angry or disappointed. In that case I am more inclined to rant in the comment section. ^^’

Probably. I think it is ok to not have a literal translations as it might not sound natural, but the meaning of the title should not be lost in translation. I see this happen a lot with foreign movies when they air in my country. The titles are completely different even when a literal translation would sound natural in my language. Sigh

The gaming part was kind of cringe for me...I love gaming in real life but I find the portrayal of it in dramas to be cringe, same reason why I never liked Love O2O...and also because the actress always had the same expression on her face. I also skipped a lot of Shan Shan scenes and felt the drama would have been better if it had less episodes. It kind of dragged a little bit.

With that said, this was definitely a good drama that I enjoyed watching. Now that I have pointed out the not so good things about it, I will go into the things I liked:

- several clichés were avoided, starting by how the female lead is the one who is super successful and unachievable and the male lead is the one chasing after her like a puppy;

- their chemistry is really good, so much so that I would not be surprised if the actors came out with a statement saying they are dating; >.<

- the balance between the fluffy romance and her work and his studies is also good. We never get tired of one or the other because after an episode packed with romantic scenes we will get an episode of them going through hardships while trying to achieve their goals...all while supporting each other;

- there is no overly dramatic stuff here and no crazy second leads trying to split them apart. The most dramatic part revolved around Shan Shan;

- and there is probably more I could say but I dont want to take it into the point of spoiling the drama for you, so enjoy.

It’s pretty soon then. Thank you for letting me know.

It did several months ago but I had to stop watching at ep 9 because I could not handle the subs. I watched Begin Again with her subs and felt my enjoyment was much less because I could not keep my mind off the mistakes. The same was happening with this one, so I decided to put it on hold when I found out viki had created a page for it.

Unfortunately, it has been several months and there are no updates so I am torn between waiting or watching it with Carmon subs which is still a better option than watching raw.

With this comment I mean no disrespect to the subber, what she is doing is great. I am the one with issues. English is not even my native language but when I see bad grammar or spelling mistakes I cannot just ignore it. I will keep thinking about it while watching whatever I am watching and cannot focus or enjoy anything anymore. I probably have some degree of OCD. Sigh

I should have read the comments. Episode 32 ends like any other episode, so either episode 32 is not the last episode or there is another season. It makes no sense to end it like that. But another season seems like an overkill. Only a few more episodes were needed to wrap up the story.

RIP me who had watched until episode 8 and had high expectations for the next few episodes.

Yeah, I just noticed the first 6 episodes are subbed.

It is an open and bittersweet ending. She wakes up in the real world and meets his look alike at the end but he is not really the same person and we dont know what happens after that since the drama ends right there.

I just came here because it showed up on dramanice. So it has aired but it is not subbed yet.

Im not saying she would do it. She is a very strong woman and has went through a lot so suicide is not really something she would do. But it was a risk. For someone to commit suicide they only need a moment of weakness to do something they would never do in a normal state of mind. But anyway, I just feel it was not fair to put her trough that. It was not like she knew of the plan, she truly believed he was dead. That was a very cruel thing to do.
