I rewatched it right away also. I am trying to move away from it as I have a speech to write. I need to get Love's Ambition out of my head. (There is another drama of 2025 that I consider a masterpiece, and that is TFF. You can read my review. I wasn't expecting to love it the way did as the actress is not one I have enjoyed watching in the past. But Bai Jing Ting never disappoints).

He got me for a few mins with his hurtful words in ep 14, but there were too many signs in the previous episodes that showed me he cared for Xu Yan. I knew there was more going on with him that was revealed in the first part of LA. The drama revealed more of Xu Yan's life than it did Haoming but there was enough to show he was not evil. On rewatch of ep 2, I noticed he told the nurse to be gentle with Xu Yan and considering Xu Yan wasn't even conscious at that time, he was not pretending. He was captivated by her intelligence, resilience, and beauty which parallels his fascination with the Agave plant which he admired for its resilience.

When I noticed the other couple's clothes never changed from Plan A to Plan C and that it all happened within the same space in time, I realized Barbie and Ken were not there just for comical relief. It is too bad that was all some saw so they felt it was not in keeping with the first part of the drama. Now I might be way off but it seems to me the parodies align with the lead's relationships. Love's Ambition is full of parallels and symbolism. For viewers to appreciate the art that went into its creation, they would need to watch more than on a surface level.

And when you remember the scene in her childhood when her parents didn't get a bandaid for her because her sister fell at that moment...Haoming made her feel loved 💗

Oh yes! 😂

I think those who didn't see the purpose of the parody were either entertained or turned off. I am an international viewer and I thought the parallels with Barbie and Ken to Edward and Bella were creative. I know you mentioned they represented the world powers but what I saw were the relationshop connections. I felt as if the director used it as a marker between the first arc and the second arc showing the perfectly synchronized relationship through Barbie and Ken then showing the reality that they were more like Edward and Bella whose relationship started with a secret and moved into one that was more balanced and equal. Every episdoe in Love's Ambition was significant. I was totally captivated. The only thing is when I rewatch, I skip the second couple.

I know I have said this several times but I don't understand the 8.5 here. Usually a hit drama goes up at the end.

I didn't find any of Love's Ambition boring. And the only reason I checked the time left for each episode as I was watching is that I was always shocked when the episodes ended because I was that captivated.

I was wondering if it it ended. Keeping posting the averages. I wonder how much it will go up to in the next few weeks!

No problem. I see people saying to put in spoiler but I think anyone checking can easily click on spoiler but I guess it helps.

Lord Ling is so funny 😂

I am glad I decided to wait a bit after watching the first 5 episodes. Now I am thinking to wait even longer. How can there be three days with nothing?

Actually, this was yesterday. Today it is 50 M https://x.com/emmalinetjiang/status/1979840324995527064

I felt sad for Feng Sui Ge as he watched his sister at her wedding.

Chen He Yi looks good in this.

I am seeing that the ML lost his mother due to an injustice.

I am on ep 12 now and trying to figure out if the sml is good or bad. He seems to really love her.

Considering it is a hit, this 8.5 on MDL makes no sense.

I am on ep 9 now and it is getting better and better!
