Your review is constructed well and directly gets straight to the point. I like how you listed out your likes and dislikes 🩵

1) somewhere in Asia
2) Lulu and Xiao Xi (I adore their friendship)
3) SOKP (I am torn with this and OAO)
4) I discovered her while watching The Legends, I fell inlove with her acting so I searched her up and immediately watched the rest of her dramas. Her acting on AMA made me even more addicted to her. I created my MDL account immediately after that. She's the only c-actress/actor whose every drama I have watched.
5) I have a lot of favorites but my most would be the sound of her laughter 🍍https://youtube.com/shorts/lebxWgVrKU0?si=zMXIFo7qzgywAu8U

she values each of her roles so much she even included all of them on her socmed bio 🥺

they went with an unconventional happy ending, it was satisfying personally for me but others might thing otherwise.

for the second half of the story majority of the scenes revolve around with the MLs hair color changed to black

thank you so much 😘💖✨️

You flattered me too much. Thank you so much for reading 🍍🩵

For me it was in 'the heirs', I agree she is amazing indeed 💕 I think she became a mother of almost every actress.

Same here, her crying scene here reminds me of her viral crying scene in one and only if you had watched. I didn't 2x speed so I cried for 45 mins solid even until ep 24 I was sobbing. They acted so good here!

this drama is xianxia which means fantasy so there aren't much fight scenes here

me too

HE but there is a twist to it, yes they do

Here is my lengthy explanation about the time thing at the end based on my own understanding and from what I have read from cfans posts.

Hua Ruyue choosing to change things in the past was her finally being able to make peace with everything that happened to her and it was also her way of letting go of the hatred she had long carried. She created a parallel universe where the outcome is what she hoped for and where the version of herself has lesser regrets, she did the same for others too. She helped lessen their regrets.

The time artifact which Xiao Jingshan gave to her works in the logic of cause and effect. Xi E who is the goddess of time only makes her appearance whenever time is being altered, this makes her be able to appear and interfere at some point without totally changing the flow of time. Xi E according to cnetz shares the same universe as the primordial god who created Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue hence it explains why she is the goddess of time and is not seen on or known in any of the realms because she is far higher than them, they called her as mother god. So, every time Hua Ruyue used the time artifact to change the past (cause) this results to the acceleration of Bai Jiusi's resurrection (effect), hence in the end they were able to reunite. Xi E created the causality for HRY and helped her reunite with BJS and considering they are both Yin and Yang, they are interdependent and cannot exist without the other. As for why Xi E took energy from HRY, this is because Yin and Yang are also transformative, they can transform into each other. There was a piece of BJS in HRY.

I was ugly crying during those scenes the acting performance of both Joseph and Bai Lu were really so gutwrenching 😭

I have just recently started watching this and so far I am finding it interesting and enjoyable to watch. I already felt the tension between Liu Xue Yi and Meng Zi Yi from the get go. I think this will be the first Liu Xue Yi drama of the year which I won't end up dropping, hopefully the story remains good.

she is such a great actress and whenever I see her play a mother role in a drama I easily light up, Kim Mikyung is my fave kdrama mother 🩵

thank you ☺️

Thanks a lot! I get what you mean because it took time for me to adjust to the dubbing as well. I had long been accustomed to Bai Lu's real voice that it thew me off too. It's a shame but her acting delivered so it was bearable. It's great that you gave this drama another chance and i'm really happy that my review was able to shift your perspective in some way. That's really what I hoped to do when writing this review, I wanted to convey how I understood and connected with the drama as clearly as possible. This drama isn't easy to define quickly because of the complexity of the plot, but once you get into its flow and understand what it's really about only then will you be able to appreciate it ☺️🤍

Thank you so much! I actually agree with your take too, it wasn't as impactful as how others would usually be. The slow start made sense in hindsight but definitely tested patience a bit at first. I think it was rather intentional to keep us all surprised, I still remember how everyone reacted after the revelation. And yes, HRY’s growth was one of the most beautiful parts of the show. Watching her find clarity and choose peace hit so hard. I'm happy to know you thought the same. I would’ve loved that flashback from BJS’s POV too! It would've further enriched their connection, that's true given his nature, I think if they were to add such scenes it would've just showed his lingering gaze instead. You're not alone! I ugly cried too 🤭🩵✨

Only for love is being rebroadcast on Hunan TV and the rating broke 0.61% making it the highest rated airing drama on its current timeslot 10pm. Looks like this is a sign for me to rewatch this again 🤭
