Anyone know where I can watch the alternate endings? The youtube link below directs to a video that is not available, and the alternate ending episodes are not on Viki.

The most confusing part is that there were multiple endings, although Viki only shows one. In the Viki version, the FL dies (she sacrifices herself to use her "heart blood" to help cure the ML who has been poisoned since childhood and close to death), but then somehow she comes back to life and they don't explain how. It's confusing and abrupt.

It depends on which ending you watch. In the Viki version, the FL "dies" but appears to come back to life in the end? But they don't really explain how. Apparently in other versions it is explained.

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

You're welcome :)

Oh yes, I completely agree. Given that he's a smart guy when it comes to other things, it's very frustrating that he can't see through her. I think perhaps the reason she managed to fool him for so long was that he's so starved for love and affection after dealing with his family, and he sees them as two people against the world, that he never dares question her motives. On the flip side, I suppose you could say that even though he has no trust when it comes to his family, he can still put a huge amount of trust in the person he loves.

I skipped lots of scenes. One of the biggest downsides of this drama for me was that many of the scenes with secondary characters were 3x longer than they needed to be in order to make the point they needed to make. With a few exceptions, I generally hate just listening to secondary characters talk more than necessary to move the plot forward. Especially villains. So I skipped those scenes. Still very much enjoyed the drama. Would've ended up dropping it if I didn't skip at all.

Sound of the Desert, The Princess Wei Young, and Lost Love in Times.

The only reason I felt even a teeny tiny bit of temporary SLS was because the ML made some poor choices for a while, but he sorts that out and I was never really rooting for the SML. There are many dramas where I've had serious SLS, but this definitely was not one of them.

You might not have to wait until ep 35. I questioned whether I was going to be able to ship the ML and FL for many episodes, but scenes in episode 23, 25, 27, and 28 had me on board before episode 35 rolled around. The writers will also show you why the FL would not have been happy if she married the doctor.

The thing about the ML is that once he sees the FL as a friend and then as the woman he wants to marry, rather than being blinded by the SFL and seeing her as an obstacle to his goals, he commits 100%. He will always back her fiercely no matter who she's up against - even if its his family members or her family members - and she is his number one priority. Grandma can only do so much for so long, and she has no other backers. QH and the doctor both show that there are situations where they wouldn't choose / back the FL 100%.

I'd actually recommend watching 23 episodes before deciding to drop or keep going. I enjoyed the first few episodes when the characters were young, but found the next ~20 episodes less interesting and I found the grown up ML to be not very likeable for a while. But that changed by episode 23, and that was when I knew it would be worthwhile to keep going / to not drop the drama.

Updated :)

Updated the synopsis so it's more accurate and a bit less spoilery :)

"Maybe you should go for romance and cringy comedy stuff... This more for mature people it tackles society. Your mind is to small to understand"

What an unnecessarily rude thing to say. You have different opinions about a drama. A mature person would not be so offended by that, and would not reply with such a rude comment. Mydramalist users should feel free to express their opinions politely without having other users respond like this.

I love both actors and I was quite looking forward to this period drama, especially after watching Netflix's last period kdrama Mr. Sunshine. Unfortunately, apart from the FL's singing voice (which was truly beautiful) and one or two scenes, this drama just missed the mark. I didn't feel the romance between the leads, the power of their writing, the highs when they were happy, or the tragic lows when they were suffering. It felt like things unfolded mechanically and I was generally uncomfortably aware that I was watching actors instead of becoming absorbed in the story.

On top of an unsatisfying relationship between the leads, there also wasn't any kind of poignant final action related to the Japanese occupation. The patriotic themes set out early on fizzled out disappointingly. There was no satisfying or thought provoking take away. The final words on the screen failed to be deep. Even the soundtrack was underwhelming. Overall? Disappointing.

Very strange! It must be a bug. Maybe because of the text symbols I used? I clicked edit to remind myself what I wrote and it shows my reply said "[code bracket slash three - i.e. the text symbol for a broken heart] Okay. Thank you for the warning / confirmation!" When I tried to paste my original comment here the whole comment did not appear. I had to change the bit between the [] brackets for it to appear. I'll mention it in the support forum.

It's worth watching for the chemistry between the leads, not the plot.

99% was good enough for me ^.^"
