Aramintai

My family members watching this drama dubbed FL’s uncle “Aramis” for his musketeer moustache and being the ladies man, lol.

Well, at least she’s capable of it, not a completely one-dimensional villain.

It’s not just the kisses, it’s their romance in general here.

The Double is very overrated. Over the top, blood pressure raising misogyny for the lulz of it, very annoying tropey scheming of cartoonishly evil villains. I at first thought it was some sort of satire, but they were actually taking it seriously. Watch only if you’re ML actor’s fan, or want something akin to Coroner’s Diary and Blossom. But intelligence of the plot and dialogues in those dramas is levels below U:J and Mo Li.

Yea, this particular thing is common in cdramas, just close your eyes on it.

Paper windows and doors in cdramas are either unbreakable or fall from one kick depending on the plot requirements.

For now, but ML really gotta get his sht together and be really good to her from now on, no more relapse triggering fkups.

Another mention was from the emperor when they were talking about his grey hair - he was not in his 30s yet. Looking at their age difference in the flashbacks and his rank in the army I'm guessing he's around 28.

FL is around 21-22. ML is less than 30, but def quite older than her.

Those Lishan mountain arc episodes alone should probably net her all the yearly awards. Bai Lu hard carrying yet another drama.

Then they'd better simply cancel this season. FL carried this drama to popularity, nobody's gonna watch it with recast or different set of characters. Youku platform's presentation stated they want to focus on quality with their announced second seasons and are aware of potential risks if the leads won't return. If they're smart, they shouldn't even be wasting money on S2 with cast changes.

I'm watching several other dramas from my back log, but I keep coming back to this one. Quality's just on another level, one of the best dramas this year. So many overhyped dramas with ~9 scores on MDL and they're total trash compared plot wise, tbh. Most of the audience seems to get easily captivated by shallow, visually striking dramas with pretty faces. Can't trust scores here at all.

I'd tell you, but it's better you figure it out yourself - FL is a dire mix of things here.

4 dolls, 1 remains

Another one of those overhyped ones like Coroner's Diary. For those who like over the top soap and incessant scheming with annoying cringey villains.

She dug it herself.

Just watch the end episode 34 with the dowager dreaming.

Not might have, but have.

Unclear. Prob somebody came by the academy gates to give it to her. She could have said same thing she said before - that everybody else were busy, so they aren't present.

Boy scholar shot with arrows is from an older episode, where SML was escorted back to the capital and his entourage was slaughtered and then he signed a paper that they were all traitors trying to kidnap him. That's why FL hates him.
