Yeah glad all these exist so we can all have our own things. And do you mean unclouded soul?? I agree with you on that one 😅

Sooo this is just me but I randomly quit c dramas from time to time bc I get bored and find them predictable. LITCH felt like that to me plus I didn’t see the chemistry a lot of others did. Felt like she was a teeny bit overacting and he was a teeny bit stiff. Both dramas are overall great though and glad they both exist!

Thank you!! I’m so sad it’s over!

LOL I get that. Hmm…. So his character is full of surprises so it’s tricky to not spoil but…. They don’t get divorced. Does that help?

how much do you want spoiled?

Couple thoughts:
1- this drama clearly outperformed expectations so I’m proud of it just for that

2- li mao is underrated and so is riley wang- hope he gets more lead roles soon

3- ai mi is one of the best actresses out currently, not just for her age but in general

4- HMH always delivers but feel like this is his strongest yet, thought he was a bit stiffer in some of his other pairings

Will miss them all!! This was such a wonderful journey!

He just remains unpredictable but it’s clear in the end

I know I shouldn’t compare but… I loved this so much more than love in the clouds

Their chemistry is so good, I actually think for me this is the best pairing I’ve seen for HMH

Right?? Or guest appearance like in fangs of fortune

I am jealous of anyone caught between HMH and Riley wang 🤣 I really will be ok whichever one she ends up with

I had quit c dramas for a while but came back here bc these two together doesn’t seem real, they’re both my favorites! This story has to be amazing for them both to sign on

Why did I only just find out Mike Angelo and Esther Yu were main couple in another show 🤣

Just paused to come here and say Esther’s outfits are amazing 😍

This is where I read it! Hope you like it!

I wish! I couldn’t find one so I read the novel instead. It’s different in many ways due to rebirth being central but same characters (mostly) so it did help me miss them less!

Used this one if you’re interested:

I loved this drama so much I read the novel after, and the novel was even better. I totally get why they cast who they cast now. He Yan is meant to be a bright and happy girl, and she never has the choice except to act as a man so she does the best she can at it. Zhou Ye was perfect for this. Xiao Jue is supposed to be elegant and distant but soft-hearted, Ryan Cheng was perfect for this.

I think the director must have struggled a lot with what to do since he couldn’t follow the reincarnation plot, and I found a lot of his choices questionable while I read. In the novel, it is much much clearer they are destined for each other. We also lost a lot of beautiful snowy scenes and awesome battles (Jiyang was 100x better in the novel in my opinion).

Overall though I still love both the drama and the novel. He Yan and Xiao Jue have a place in my heart, and if you miss them after this drama, I highly recommend reading the novel too!

LOTFG is a pretty lighthearted historical drama, it’s probably my top now bc I love fun character dynamics and it’s an easy rewatch. Great chemistry between leads too, not just skinship. I love the writer for Shadow Love but haven’t watched it bc her stories are starting to follow similar formulas in my mind and I can almost predict the angst arc down to the episode. That’s my personal feeling on the two

Yes and that’s more what appeals to me lately!

I love the writer for Shadow Love (obviously)! But, LOTFG gave me more slice of life vibes over angst, which is what I needed. I know they’re dramas, but I was tired of the c drama formula lately and this was refreshing (for me)
