Guarding a Vacant Room Alone (2025)

The contrast between romance development and story pacing

I watched this because of Han Yutong and i quite like Lanbo. But i quite not hate it nor like it. It feels lukewarm. The chemistry between the leads was quite restrained.

You can see the production team's effort; the actors (Lan Bo is probably the closest to ML character in terms of personal image and temperament among the five versions), sets, and costumes are all quite well done, but the content is average.

Plot is about FL husband has a secret love interest and is unwilling to consummate their marriage. Facing the dual predicament of her husband's incompetence and internal family strife, FL seeking an heir, uses the opportunity of falling off a cliff while burning incense to get close to the imprisoned ML. ML is actually the emperor's brother-in-law. FL disguises herself as a maid.
After becoming pregnant, FL leaves and cuts off all contact, while also helping ML clear his name.

ML thinks he's the adulterer, is competitive, and easily appeased. When they look at each other, the male lead thinks she truly loves him, while FL thinks she can finally sleep with him. The story was quite dragged for long even the pace is slightly fast compared to other version but the romance development was too slow. The leads only got together befor 5 minutes of ending.

Can watch if you don't have anything to watch.
