@Tofu Oh, I totally agree with you about Marcus. I liked him in his lead debut in Back to 1989 because he played an interesting character. But since then, I feel like he's basically been the same character in every series, which is a shame since the 'rich, outwardly mean, but inwardly soft CEO' type is quite boring and I think he's a good actor who could rise above this role (eg. Would love to see him play a gangster or hooligan). When I first read about Lost Romance, a drama that would make fun of the romance novel tropes, I thought he would discover that he was a stereotypical character and try to change (although that might be similar to Extraordinary You) or that the heroine might not get with the first lead in the book or something fun like that...but it seems to have gone down the conventional route. And yessss, Simon is the best! His character's clothes are pretty funny - I'm really not sure why they have to be that oversized!! The main reason I continue to watch this series is to see Qing Feng sass Aoran and have chemistry with Xiao En. As for the connecting of the 2 worlds, they haven't established that yet, but they've been dropping lots of hints - hope they start explaining soon or they'll be lots to tie up at the end!
@sharluvsenergy It's great that you've caught up! Yeah, the story is interesting and the pacing is good. Wish some of the characters had better development, but so far it's been a fun watch. Isn't the cast chemistry amazing?
