[Cast & Crew]
- If the directing of this drama bothers you, know that the main director is Zhu Rui Bin (The Starry Love, The Blue Whisper, The Long Ballad, Ashes of Love). If you need visuals, see this comment from TSL thread.
- Bai Lu and Zhang Ling He are a real couple. If there are clips of Bai Lu showing a heart sign to greet Zhang Ling He at his door and they're not denying it, it's true.
- There have been a lot of comments saying Zhang Ling He would blow up this year given his upcoming (now aired) dramas. He still hasn't. His 2023 ML dramas My Journey to You and Tiger and Crane did not do him much good. This will be the last of his 2023 dramas. (Take home message: Don't trust these accounts! I did....)
- This is airing simultaneously with Only for Love, also starring Bai Lu. Interestingly, everyone has a lot of questions for both her directors.
- This is Wang Xing Yue's second rebirth drama of 2023 that aired consecutively with Scent of Time.
- This is also Wang Xing Yue's second drama with Bai Lu. It's in their fate that if they're together, one of them has to be tragic. (One and Only reference)
[Drama Info] This drama was pulled back from airing in May, and suddenly airdropped in November. It's suspected that 1) it didn't pass censorship because of the rebirth plot, which drama has now(?) included a scene of FL writing a story in present time, and 2) Zhou Jun Wei's white paper protest, which promotions seem to have completely excluded him.
[Ending] Happy.
Four (4/5)
Three (3/5)
