at what point does our FL realize she truly loves our ML? Asking ambiguously because of the different character arcs/names. So far, we've seen her "love him" to protect him so he doesn't die before she can permanently kill him, and now she's "loving him" or attempting to, so that she can gain his love thread. It's fun to watch the hijinks and the flirting, but its also disingenuous and frustrating. Our ML has had a litany of betrayal, heartache, and abandonment. While he may not understand those feelings on a human, emotional level, it's unfair to watch him getting played over and over.

question for book readers (asking for spoiler)

same. I'm anxious to get back to the main storyline and the dream arc has been too tropey for me, but im still really enjoying it for a slew of other reasons.

hahaha, that's a great description

This whole dream sequence is ripe with trope after trope after trope. The misunderstandings, the jealous 2FL, the noble idiocy- OVER IT. Pleaseeeee, can we move onnnn. It's visually gorgeous, and the fight scenes are spectacular, but I'm ready for the next arc.

I didn't bother reading your lonnnng paragraph. I'm half tempted to write 20 more comments about LYST just to piss you off. Maybe go take a walk if you're so wound up.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Didn't catch it when your wrote it like that. I recall he liked her first (and we as the viewer saw that), but she squeezed his hand first.

This is a page that includes Ding Yu Xi as the male lead. I'm not the first, nor the last, to make comparisons. Hasn't aired yet.

Agreed. There are always 2 sides to everything but drama writers will never please everyone. Especially when there is source material people are passionate about.

Yeah, the Han Shuo hairdo is not my favorite, haha. I'm tired of the braided updo. It looks like his next drama has the exact same hair AGAIN. I just want to see Love You Seven Times T_T

I've heard many people say the novel was one of their favorites and a lot more despicable and dark. From what I've seen discussed here and on Tumblr, many novel lovers particularly disliked the drama's comedic and light turn on very dark characters.

This drama makes me C R A V E Love You Seven Times a thousand times more. This drama wastes Ding Yu Xi's obvious talent (his facial acting and microexpressions are nearly unmatched, in my opinion), but the dubbing is awful and doesn't match him. This drama is a waste of his visuals, too (how many times is he going to wear that stupid braided updo and variations of white outfits). Love You Seven Times looks incredible already, but I'm especially excited to see him cleansed of that look for good after seeing him look identical in 2 costume dramas in a row (this and Romance of Tiger and Rose).

Yes, two that I can think of - Something in the Rain, and One Spring Night. Both Kdramas, both with the same male lead (Jung Hae In).

I'm enjoying this drama but Shi Che is meddlesome and annoying AF. (On Ep11).

"Even if Tong Lu were found alive, I would still have chosen you."

Hahahaha. You misunderstand me, the more Deng Wei's character suffers, the happier I'll be. I love a good angsty story.

Ep previews from 26 onward look pretty angst heavy but it seems to get better by 30 (just judging by previews)

There was a preview of SSC playing a game, and his vision kept going blurry like he was about to suffer heatstroke, but I'm suddenly unable to find it anywhere. Anyelse see the same preview?

As much as I love our CP, I'm most excited to watch our 2nd CP/2nd couple after falling in love with Deng Wei in Journey of Chong Zi. He was the only reason I kept watching Chong Zi.

Yeahhhh. Ep 16 and onwards were played on FF. Big ole yawn fest. Lmao
