Watching episode 33 of “A Journey to Love” 🌸 The drama is beginning to wrap up the main plot. This farewell scene is touching because friendship is shown to be valuable even though Ning Yuanzhou chooses love over friendship. Everyone knows that this is probably a permanent farewell but they let him go.

Am now finishing “A Journey to Love” 🌸 I put it on hold to watch “The White Olive Tree”. This scene is great because it intercuts Shisan demonstrating how Chu Yue can make her financé like her. The scene is great, because it rerverses where the feelings are fake and real. The teaching scene is more real…

Just watching episode 15 of “A Journey to Love” 🌸 It is a magnificent scene where Ning Yuanzhou charges in to help Ren Ruyi fight off a group of people who are attacking her. He is not saving a damsel in distress but helping the love of his life by levelling the playing field. It is definitely a hero’s entrance, though.

Just watching episode 12 of “A Journey to Love” 🌸 After betrayals, conflict with the enemy and internal strife, Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi reunite and relive the scene where she announced that she wants to have his child without his love. This time round he doesn’t refuse. He just keeps saying yes 😄❤️ Love might have a chance in the future, thus resulting in a mutual child rather than a child of convenience…

Am watching episode 5 of “A Journey to Love” 🌸 The scene where Ren Ruyi casually mentions that Ning Yuanzhou is the perfect candidate to be the father of her future child is hilarious. They hardly know each other but she has already decided 😄 The choice isn’t a bad one, but perhaps one that should be a mutual choice 😄😄

Have just begun watching “A Journey to Love” 🌸 It’s from 2023 but I couldn’t access it when it was broadcast. Now I found it on YouTube and am enjoying it immensely. It took a few episodes to establish itself and now it is beginning to take off. Many charismatic actors and quite a lot of humor lurking beneath a fairly sad premise.

As a US based woman who watches a lot of Asian dramas I have to say I was surprised by the subject matter of #storyofpearlgirl. There are often characters who have risen from the lower class/caste to high office but this is one of the first ones I've seen where the conditions & attitudes towards those held in slavery are presented so starkly. From what I'm seeing on sub Reddits and MDL many seemingly don't want to face this reality.
I could be wrong & the subject is presented the same way in film but I don't watch films.
What I've seen so far has made me realize that Zhao Lusi is a very good actor. The supporting cast holds up as well. I've been a fan of Liu Yunging since #ajourneytolove
Why such a negative reaction by some?
