xuehua

oh right I just remembered key to pheonix heart I have that on my ptw list too 🫣 so this year is his year it seems!!

Right! We get to see a new side of minghao and he nailed this type of character he is suited for historicals as much as he is in xianxia. In his next projects hoping he plays general next! would be so good. I can't wait for that too.

Thank you 😊 that's good to hear, I can't wait to catch up and get to that part.

thanks for the recommendation 🩵

me too

It's such a pleasant surprise to have two back to back Hou Minghao dramas airing at the same time. I had just started watching this today and the first episode already had me captivated. I didn't expect to enjoy this, considering how it doesn't solely revolve on the romance aspect alone and there'd be family feuds plus lots of vile characters coming into play but with the good cinematography and styling for the casts which made their striking visuals stand out and how both the leading characters are interesting enough and smart especially Lu Jianglai. I am glad to see Hou Minghao playing a new character, as much as I had loved his demon roles which are no doubt built for him, it's refreshing to see him playing this type of character. I am in awe of his performance so far and most importantly his facial expressions. I think Lu Jianglai might be my next favorite character of his after Ji Bozai. Though I have yet to see how the chemistry between the leads play out.

thank you so much for taking time to read my review again 🩵

I recently wrote a positive review as well and rated SAL 10. So far, I haven't received any threatening dms. Maybe this person isn't after your opinion/review but is personally attacking you instead because I find it weird how they would attack you for a review when there are many other users who wrote positive reviews. I suggest you report the user instead. You should screenshot their threatening message, go to the support forum and report it to mdl admins.

You're not alone, such things happen to me too before I could ever realize I wasn't feeling it. I have dropped so many dramas over the years, I guess there's really no way to know unless we give it a go and see for ourselves 😅...no worries I just think there's no point in fighting over a drama when everyone of us is different. Enjoy savoring the Jin Zhao moments that man is quite a feast in the eyes 🤭🩵

They felt more like childhood sweethearts for me, so I didn't really have any trouble with their dynamic and as for Jiang Mu being 'childlike'...it was intentional for her character and it was her way of giving Jin Zhao an emotional refuge, for him to be soft as he always had his guard up. I did read a comment from novel readers saying that he did indulge this aspect of Jiang Mu so she'd be dependent on him. Though these are just my opinion, we all have different taste and preferences, not every drama will be a hit 😊

no love triangle, solely focused on main leads romance and yes it's a happy ending

It's titled Go Dashing Youth, you should watch He Yu was so funny there 🤣

Right. They served us romance-wise and kiss-wise too🤭 I honestly lost count of how many times they kissed but I knew it has set its own milestone which we don't always get too.

I've been watching He Yu's variety shows these past days, especially the one with Hou Minghao. He is a natural born comedian without even trying. I am trying to watch WIFTY, which is the only Zhu Yi work I haven't watched yet...it's been hard because I still gravitate back to SAL. I think I will suffer for a month or so like I did with TFF.

I share the same sentiments with you, what I also liked is how we don't have 2nd couples which is usually almost a norm in modern cdramas. With SAL they focused solely on the main couple which is satisfying because we got these iconic and really good scenes. Though the deleted scenes were a letdown, especially the stolen wedding scene 😭 but looking back at how many romantic moments that was served, it's still really good.

I'm so happy for him, he deserves it so much. I think this is also a quite a feat, I don't think there are any rising actors (correct me if I am wrong) who achieved such milestone this quickly and with only one character as Jinzhao.

Yes that is true but one of the good thing is his fandom will be stronger now. Only water armies will try to defame him, but with the growing number of islands now they'd be able to defend him this time, when before they couldn't.

Happy Birthday to Sang Yan 🍃 despite being only a fictional character who is still too fictional even for the fictional world. I'm still in incredible awe for how beautifully this character was created by Zhu Yi. Sang Yan was full of love that is pure and limitless. I think for years to come, regardless of how many ML character's I might swoon over, I would still find myself coming back to Sang Yan. He is a true definition of love. Thank you for making 2025 filled with warmth and spring 🩵

I'm so happy for him because his hard work paid off and more people recognize him now. He deserves it so much, though it's worrisome as cfans culture can be quite toxic but He Yu is known for disciplining his islands, there were videos of him calling off fans that hoarded him, so at some point these fans especially ones that had been with him for a long time know how he is. I'm so excited for his upcoming projects, he looks so good in those costumes.

I agree sis, he won my heart instantly. He Yu is now also my fave actor. I never knew him before this drama, but he is so talented, I am looking forward to his new projects 🤭
