Is it a happy ending in the last few minutes? Or do we actually get to see them together for more than half the…
About 15 minutes- but we got a full montage of happy moments. For a moment there I personally thought it would be yet another rushed ending but I feel that they did a good job given that they only had 12 episodes.
There are time skips but they artfully meshed the scenes together so I personally didn't get any whiplash- we got proper conclusions for all 4 couples and even got to see Genius one last time. No loose ends
I still don’t get what was up with the doctor since she was in love with hc. her actions don’t really make…
She was in a messy situation so that's why she was so erratic.
In one way she and HC kind of bonded out of loneliness. It's not a good excuse but being in a strange country with such a terrible time difference definitely is a recipe for disaster for most new relationships like with HC and Ha Ran's.
If SChan didn't chat with HaRan, HC could have broken up quite easily with HR or just continue to ghost her.
With the fight ngl, it kind of did make the doctor look a little too nice but it's understandble since we are seeing it from her eyes so her memory is bound to be bias. The reason why she lied was probably because who would want to publicly acknowledge that she cheated with HR's dead boyfriend/ the dead boyfriend died due to his carelessness? The fact that the university even has no explanation for the explosion proves that the doctor didn't throw SChan under the bus by blaming him back then when the uni investigated the explosion. It's just that she probably got jealous and mad that while she lost HC, HaRan had found happiness with the guy who caused HC to get mad during his final moments. 🙈
Another way to look at the last 17mins is that it was indeed from another universe/ lifetime and not just imaginary what-if. Specially given how QiMin's character reacts to certain factors, it's hard to strike it of as a simple "what if".🙊
I feel like that's pretty dumb of the writers. It's no secret they cannot write what they intend to so why even…
The writers could have used a loophole. Instead of transmigration, they could have just given original 80s' XX some kind of personaloty shift after she tried to commit suicide at the beginning. Kind of like how they handled time travel in "The Double", LOTFG, or even TPOB. The original novels had transmigration involved but their drama adoptations managed to maintain most of the original plot without using "the dream" sequence by simply giving the FLs a personaloty upgrade (and a little bit of foresight)
I loved this drama more than I expected, however the ending left me very disappointed and sad. Why couldn't they…
Ngl I was hoping they would follow a similar concept like with “How Dare You” - i.e. live a lifetime as 80’s XX and then come back to the present to meet the ML again (since there was so much foreshadowing that he might be there in the present day as well).
On the bright side we at least have the novel AND we can pretend that the drama ended at the 29 min point with a teeny tiny epilogue of their family having fun at the beach a bit later🙈
Hello, after they revealed it was a dream what happens? I've watch legally romance and it was a dream and i did…
I wouldn't call this ending a dream per say since the ML recognized the FL. More like coming back from another dimension?
The ML is a tough no nonsense Supervisor or director and the FL works in his team. After getting sabotaged, the FL gets fired from the company. On her last day, she gets stuck in an elavator with the ML. It malfunctions and somehow she gets transported back to 15+ years back. Things happen and the FL and ML in the new timeline eventually end up dating. Eventually she gets sent back to her original timeline. According to reality, she ended up in the hospital due to the elavator accident. Heartbroken since she lost her new life and the loving ML, she goes back to her former office (can't remember why). There she crosses paths with the ML again in another packed elavator. At first she ignores him since she assumed her "new life" was a dream...but turns out the ML too remembers "the dream".
They didn't say it explicitly but the ML holds on to her hand in the elavator and when they look at eachother, you KNOW that he remembers their love.
For a censored ending, I'd say it was pretty good as long as you don't overthink it. Careers can be built again and as for other irreversible factors, at least the couple had a chance to spend more time with their loved ones for years (the dream life went on for 10+ years).
Qianqian and Qimin’s story almost feels like an alternate universe version from "How Dare You", if the FL in it met the ML far too late. When destiny is inevitable but circumstances taint and destroy what was meant to be a fated Love🥲
I feel very bad for the emperor, he was forced to be a toy emperor, lived his whole life in fear and ended up…
Idk why but I've got a soft spot for him🙈
I really loved the fact that he truly loved his sister and mum (compared to other emperors who would be able to sacrifice them without hesitation).
Even with the marriage alliance, he didn't feel too guilty about using his sister as a pawn to initially marry off her to the marquis because of a memory he had from their childhood.
IKR?! The only difference is that Wei Yan wasn't always so 👿
I almost now wish if we could have seen how XZ would have reacted if he thought FCY died/ got harmed. Would he be just as brutal as his uncle or QiMin?🥲
Did Soldier Li ever have real feelings for the female lead, or was she just part of his plan?
He has a one sided crush. Fortunately he doesn’t suffer from stereotypical delusional Second Lead syndrome. He still loves her but respects her wishes/ chooses to serve the kingdom instead.

It's been so long since I've grinned so much at the end of a K-Romance.
PS: LOVE how they incorporated THE dresses into the story without rushing the ending by doing an unrealistic timeskip!🤭

Sorry for the long spoiler filled reply!
Pretty relatable given what's going on in the world right now.
I really loved the fact that he truly loved his sister and mum (compared to other emperors who would be able to sacrifice them without hesitation).
Even with the marriage alliance, he didn't feel too guilty about using his sister as a pawn to initially marry off her to the marquis because of a memory he had from their childhood.
As of ep 39, they've revealed everything.
I almost now wish if we could have seen how XZ would have reacted if he thought FCY died/ got harmed. Would he be just as brutal as his uncle or QiMin?🥲
Why are all their backstories so tragic??🥺
