His life sucks so he's dealing with his injury and accident and she's in Canada living the good life it's crazy that she doesn't wonder what happened to him or try to find him ugh. Even while losing his leg and his livelihood he still thinks about her first which sounds romantic but is so toxic because that's when you prioritize yourself and it's really depressing that she doesn't do the same for him and by the end even his partner isn't the person who will always be there for him and he basically has no one (other than his friends).

Thanks for the answer that sounds better so she plans to come back soon? so she contacts him and he doesn't answer but doesn't she wonder what's going on with him and go looking for him? because she knows how much he loves her doesn't she wonder why he would just cut off contact and wow her dad sucks, I read that he doesn't think he's good enough and deserves to be anyone's priority in the novel and her leaving just confirms that which just makes me sad the writers aren't writing them in a way that shows him he is someone's priority which is weird since it's his whole trauma...

But how does she leave if she knows he's severely hurt since in the preview she does see the accident and she doesn't come back for years.. I'm so confused because no matter the circumstances this isn't how you treat someone you love who is going through such trauma if he did this to her everyone would crucify him but of course he would never.

Can I ask what happens with his accident in the novel? Does she not know or ? Because I read she leaves to another country or something.

I don't think this applies to WDBTD, LBFAD, YAMH or WTPR in all 4 I felt both leads were as in love and as ready to do anything for each other and I personally prefer it that way. A man willing to burn down the world for his woman is amazing but a great epic love story is always when it's both of them and it never takes away from the love it only adds to it.

Thank you, the comment about him "making his life revolve around her" kind of made me hesitant because that's fine and romantic as long as she does the same.

I'm going to watch this because of your comment since it sounds like exactly my kind of couple, one where they are as in love and as devoted to eo. I am hesitant because some of the comments do make it seem like while the FL reciprocates a lot, it's the usual case of dramas where ML does more for her and is more devoted but I'll give it a shot.

Idk about she fell harder but You are my glory, Road Home, Hidden love, Falling into you all have couples who fall just as hard for each other.

Your comment cracked me up. I think this our new normal now. You can't have a romance without a ML like that these days, the best we can hope for is that they actually give him a personality outside of that and that the FL reciprocates his feelings if not a 100% then at least 80%. Hopefully 2026 is better in this regard but I'm not very optimistic.

I'm so glad we're getting a 2nd season and not only that but that we get the cast AND the talent behind the camera i.e the writer and the director back.

Nice detailed review , I do want to watch this for the cases but how much romance and chasing from the ML is there because half the comments are about how much he's chasing her and she's reluctant and I do not want to watch this kind of one sided relationship even in my non-romance dramas.

Great review the drama sounds lovely and heartwarming; can I ask how mutual the romance is? Is it something like Wanna be and Fated hearts where they're both as supportive and in love (love the moment in your gif btw) or more a couple where the ML is more devoted ?

Literally me everytime another drama tries to do the smart FL trope I'm just like... Ming Lan did it soooo much better.

-Yan Ruo likes Ming lan because they've spent time in the same classroom together for years and he can see that she's a smart, kind and beautiful girl, there's not that much to it.
-They will explain later why ML's older brother hates him but essentially they're from 2 different mothers and he thinks ML's mother caused his mother's death.
-ML and FL's brother do look a little bit alike but you will be to tell them apart soon enough.
Just keep watching it's truly one of the most well written costume dramas in all of dramaland here's a recap that you can follow https://cyn-lynn.blogspot.com/2022/03/the-story-of-ming-lan-recap-and-review.html

So this is not for me after all, I don't like relationships where it's one person doing all the heavy lifting and I've seen plenty of younger MLs who go all out and prove their love for the FLs it's just a matter of writing so I think if they wanted to show her love they would have, too bad everything else about this seemed like something I would enjoy, thanks for the answer.

Great review I paused this when it was airing and wanted to get back to it and I have a question, when you say unconditional love do you mean from both leads or just the ML? As in do they both show up for each other with the same support or just him because I see a lot of people emphasizing all the things the ML does for the FL but not the other way around at all.

Your comment convinced me to watch this just one question I read a few other comments calling the FL annoying a "dead weight" on the MLs shoulders, she breaks up with him twice bc of misunderstandings when he's trying to save her father or get the bad guys. Is that true? I love what you said about them fully supporting eo and having a passionate love I'm not really into romances where one person is more in love and sacrifices more...

This one dropped way too fast . It kind of seems very low budget, how's the romance in general by cdrama standards? Mutual love and devotion or just mostly one sided?

Yeah that's the vibe I was getting from the trailer and this being a cdrama of course ML isn't allowed to love someone else ever it's a miracle they even allowed him to date someone else and not pine for 10 years (at least outwardly) the synopsis does say they were separated by a misunderstanding and that she returns to rekindle their romance so it doesn't look she moved on either although idk how accurate it is for the novel vs the drama and what they changed. Edit: I just read some reviews for the novel and this is very angsty and messy.

Thanks but do you mean he's gentle and caring and not overbearing? I know it's mutual but what I meant is if it's equal as in does she love him as much as he loves her you said he's "totally over the moon for her and ready to do anything for her" is she also totally over the moon for him and ready to do anything for him?
