I love the little reference she made to his character from MJTY in ep 1 too! 😂

After the trauma of The White Olive Tree this is exactly the drama I needed. Bright, light, soothing. ZLH in modern scenery..*ah* #facecard
Breath of fresh air.
I haven’t seen XRH before but she seems cute and her styling is nice.
He’s so whipped😂
Never knew how thin he is too cause he’s usually under layers of ancient costume. All cdrama ML’s are so skinny 🙃

Can I ask when this was actually filmed for CZY and TJC?

They break up around ep 25 and regroup from ep 31-32 onwards.
I cringed for a bit when FL comes to follow ML around those eps lol.

Not explicitly. She never mentions it but he is aware that her eyes are bad after the 9.26 bomb explosion.

Very few dramas leave a mark on your heart when you finish them, but I binged watched the last 6 episodes and my heart is so heavy.

It’s 2am.
CZY did phenomenally, especially as the timid, PTSD 2.0 hit in the last 2 eps.
Ep 36 was heartbreaking and after watching the BTS of CZY and LJ crying during the kidnap scene, the few mins in the episode didn’t do it justice.

LZ was a true hero. SR loved unconditionally.
3 moments of truth stood out to me in this drama.

1. When they both confessed that they were traumatised after the 9.26 bombing. 2. When they apologised to each other after the Matumum attack and SR said she regretted breaking up with him and he apologised for potentially hurting her knowing he was going to come back to Eastern country and potentially die.
3. When LZ confesses that he’s been lying to her about his trauma after the hospital incident in the last eps.

So much angst, keeping truth from the one you love to protect them (heroic idiocy) and misunderstanding.
Ultimately, they didn’t give such a heavy ending as the book (based on the comments here), but it was bittersweet nevertheless.
They survived, married and left together.
However you interpret it.

I knew both were great actors but CZY really stole the show on this. He was exceptional. I couldn’t imagine any other actress pulling off unconditional love and heartache as LJ too.

I’m unsure how we’ll all move on from this. Thank gosh there are some funny BTS to rebalance me.
I hope we all live a free life like the last quote said and find our own white olive tree.
This show has left a mark on all of our hearts.

I’m glad you are. The way SR is has me cringing at the screen. Somehow I have second hand embarrassment for her lol.
LZ is respecting her wishes.
When she said if he regretted anything and he looked like he was biting his lip holding back, I cried.

Thanks! After seeing the girlfriend of the deminer specialist who died, he deleted the message. 😭

After ep 11 or so but they return later on in the show.

Can someone please translate the text Li Zan wrote to Ran Ran that he deleted at the end of ep 25?

Compilation goes for 13 minutes. Thats a lot of kissing 😂

Random question.
Does anyone have a count (and scenes) of all the kisses between Bai Shou and Fan Yue?
I’m curious to see whether this is one of the cdramas with the most kiss scenes between main leads 😆

I agree. Releasing 5-6 eps in one go was great but I couldn’t take FY seriously because he would die and then come back 10 mins later. That or he was unconscious again. For me, the proposal death at the Bright Moon Palace was the most touching.

Is that his Jing Yuan wig? Looks different to his beautiful FY mane that we love!

Finally Jinyoung by returned from the military so we can finally enjoy this drama!

Finally closure to the fox clan plot over the last few eps.
A lot more progress with our ML and FL.
Was I the only one who felt ARP was a bit flat/ wooden in the secret chamber scene where he was telling her his past and what happened to his Baize Clan? I’ve found his acting pretty good so far. That scene left me wanting more from him. Some moments felt like he was reading the script. Their hug was a bit awkward too.

Perhaps it’s cause it’s xianxia and Bai Lu is in it. Plus he’s a demon which was what she was trying to save LYX from becoming in TTEOTM.
But I love this also!

I’m a DiDi fan and I’m staying here so far for him.
I’m also in agreement that the slapstick /this genre of comedy is not for me. I’ve found myself laughing once or twice but it is quite unbelievable how fast he’s adapted. I am looking forward to him joining the guardians and solving more cases. Not sure how they’ll run 40 eps with this pacing and genre.
I have been anticipating this show for over a year.

I also think Lee Se Young ( who I love BTW) is acting in similar plots with emerging actors as of late. Bae In Hyuk/ Na In Woo give me the same vibes tbh, and I miss her venturing out and doing other roles besides the bright, happy go lucky characters.
Even her last drama What Happens After Love, although more mellow, was about her leaving and returning home.

Would be good to see her in a different thriller/suspense + romance role such as something similar to When the Phone Rings or her 2020 Kairos/Memorist days.

Perhaps waiting for JY to be released from the military which he now is, let’s get this!
