Episode 29 of #cdrama A Moment But Forever might be the most depressing meditation on the nature of heroism and sacrifice in war in any modern xianxia to date…. @liztai wasn’t joking when she said she had to think deeply after each episode.

This drama was "canned" due to the tax scandal of the female lead. Then rumours started appearing, saying that it will be airing this year as the face of the female lead has been replaced and another actress reshoy her scenes.

The latest rumour says it'll air June 2025.

At first I thought it was a bad idea for Love Never Fails to be released out of the dungeon. After all it is now almost five years old, Liu Xueyi looks so much younger and probably his acting chops not as mature and will only reflect badly on him, but after A Moment But Forever I am like JUST GIMME.

Also, Liu Xueyi's characters can never have a normal wedding, looks like 😆

My brain refuses to watch anything but A Moment But Forever right now. I'm resisting it because I just want to prolong the time between rewatches so that it'll feel fresher. So, I'm watching the grim crime drama A Life for A Life. I know there's another fantasy drama, The Demon Hunter's Romance, but I don't really like Ren Jialun's acting and I'm a tad resentful that it is getting more attention than A Moment But Forever. It's a dumb reason not to watch but there you go lol.

Truth is, I just want to see more Liu Xueyi dramas, but his other dramas are not as satisfying as this one. Halp.

Trying to move on, not working! Lol
