I came across this on YouTube and thought I'd share it (see link below). For this drama to truly make a comeback and win viewers' hearts aside from everything the Crown Prince is already doing, the love story between the ML and FL has to become incredibly powerful and emotionally moving. I want the last 10 episodes to leave us in tears every single time. More than anything, I want to see the FL's "block of ice-Antarctica" personality slowly and painfully melt because of the ML's unwavering love, care, and devotion. As a viewer, I want to feel every step of that transformation, every emotion, every moment of vulnerability, and every way she learns to return his love and care. I want this drama to steal tears from us, a flood of tears, in every episode until the very end. We'll see! But judging from some of the clips in this theme song, I'm feeling a little more hopeful that the drama won't disappoint us too badly. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm having a feeling that the upcoming episodes would make us cry so bad fr 🥲
haha I hope the writers atone for the unemotional FL's character that they make the last 1/3 of the drama so joyously touching that viewers just keep on shedding tears.
Oh, then it's very predictable as we have seen many dramas before. The 1 ultimate villain boss for the whole drama ;) Well then, I am hoping to see many funny moments from the main couple.
Blame the scriptwriters. I really don’t know what Jeremy has done wrong in a past life to always be cast in…
I believe you when you said that you don't think being a famous actor is all that fun, and perhaps that's one reason you aren't one yourself. However, I see it a little differently. By today's standards, being a famous actor is often viewed as a highly desirable career. Fame brings opportunities, financial success, influence, and recognition. Of course, every career comes with trade-offs, and acting is no exception. The loss of privacy and constant public attention can certainly be difficult. That said, I also believe that people who pursue careers that place them in the public eye such as acting generally understand what they are signing up for. While the reality may be more challenging than expected, it's still a path they chose because they believed the rewards outweighed the sacrifices. For that reason, I wouldn't go so far as to say that being a famous actor isn't fun simply because everyone is watching them. I also don't think it's my place to speak on their behalf, even if I am a famous actor myself because everybody's life is different. In fact, one could argue that for many entertainers, it is much less enjoyable when there aren't enough people's eyes on them or paying attention to them. Public recognition is, after all, an essential part of their profession. Hence, at times public figures need to stir up controversies to stay in the pool of public relevance. As for Prince Xi's character, regardless of what he did or failed to do, he now has to live with the consequences of his choices. Sometimes the harshest punishment is the regret a person carries within themselves. He placed this upon himself as far as I could understand. So no, I don't feel bad for his character one bit. Regarding the actor himself, people often say that typecasting is unfortunate, and in some cases it can be limiting. At the same time, it's also a reflection of reality. Most people build careers by excelling at what they do best. If an actor consistently delivers outstanding performances in a particular type of role, it's only natural that directors continue offering similar roles. Success leads to recognition, and recognition often leads to more opportunities, greater financial rewards, and a stronger reputation. And again, this is what this career path they chose is all about. Personally, I would feel much worse for someone who is genuinely talented but never gets the opportunity to develop and master their strengths. Being pushed to do many different things before becoming established in any one area can prevent them from reaching their full potential. Just my thoughts. P.S most people would not turn down an opportunity of being a famous celebrity for the mere reason of having too many eyes on them. That's the whole point of it all. I didn't want to write this long or put thought into replying to your comment but since I have seen so many comments on speaking on behalf of the actors I thought I let it out. Wake up, they are called the rich and famous for a reason. If they need support, then the support should be for their arts, their stardom, not for their thoughts or personal lives.
Episode 21 has been the best episode so far for me, especially when it comes to the Crown Prince. He had so many hilarious moments, and he's absolutely adorable as a character. Even though he may only have a year left to live, his passion, humor, and determination to enjoy every moment with the FL make him impossible not to love. He's witty, romantic, and full of life despite his circumstances. And let mention the fact that the actor is adorably good looking in this drama. The FL has softened a bit, but I'm still not sure how the writers are going to redeem the emotional distance they've built into her character. I think if they had given us even a small glimpse into her inner thoughts, or shown that she has warmth and vulnerability as an actual human in private while maintaining her cold exterior it would have been much easier to connect with her emotionally. As it stands, she still lacks the depth and substance that would make me truly root for her as the female lead, especially when she's paired with such a charismatic Crown Prince. As a character, I wonder what did she do in her past life that this life she has such love and devotion from such a man. According to her father, the Crown Prince is looking pale and fragile but he's good looking. In addition to his looks, he is very smart, witty, and a very powerful character. This FL character doesn't have much going on for her to deserve such a counterpart. I can go on forever about her character but no, I don't want to. I also loooove the little interactions between the Crown Prince and his bodyguard, Tian Yuan. Their master-and-guard dynamic is such a joy to watch. The nods, raised eyebrows, winks, and silent understanding between them are comedy gold. I'd love to see more pairings like this in other dramas especially with this two actors. And then there's the icing on the cake, the second lead couple. I loooooove them too! Fan Sui Qi absolutely shines as Bo Shu Lin. She perfectly captures both the character and the male disguise. Honestly, she's one of the most convincing actresses I've seen in this type of role. Her counterpart, Dong Zi Fan, also looks fantastic as Cui Jin Bai. I can't stop noticing his perfectly straight nose! Beyond that, I really like his character, strong and stubborn, yet also gentle, adaptable, and dependable when it matters. Together, they're such an entertaining couple to watch, and I find myself looking forward to all of their scenes. I love both of this characters, whereas, the more I like the ML, the less I like the FL. Have you guys been noticing that recently there are quite many dramas depicting very annoying, unlikable FL characters? I wonder what's going on with this. Unfortunately, I skipped through most of Prince Xin's scenes because I already knew he'd just frustrate and upset me and I don't want to have more fine lines from entertaining myself with this drama. That said, I have to give credit where it's due, the actor is doing an excellent job. He's exactly the kind of character we're not supposed to like, and the fact that he evokes that reaction means he's portraying the role exceptionally well.
I hate him as much. No offense to the actor himself but his eyes creep me out. But this means that he acts very…
I actually don't think he is a good guy in this drama neither. We still have many episodes to go and his gazes, stares, obsessions as well as comment about how he wanted to reach for the throne in the past are clear signs of what to come.
Blame the scriptwriters. I really don’t know what Jeremy has done wrong in a past life to always be cast in…
Your comment is actually quite funny. I think Jeremy did a lot of good deeds in his past life considering he is an actor that is well known and appearing in many dramas. He's famous, and makes good money. While we are fans like millions of others....hmmmnn shouldn't we ask that question instead? I don't know about you but I too, wish I was a famous actor as such.
Have you seen her other dramas? Not to bash her or anything but she fits these type of roles very well.
Yes, exactly. Me too. That's why I was never a fan. I wasn't going to watch this but I fell for He Yu's Crown Prince character. I am becoming his fan from this drama.
Prince Xin is really raising my blood pressure. He reminds me of his character in Love in Nirvana, I hated him…
I hate him as much. No offense to the actor himself but his eyes creep me out. But this means that he acts very well for his roles to evoked such emotions from us. But yeah, I have seen him many dramas, I could never get myself to like him no matter what role. I am bias but that's my opinion. We all have our favorites so his fans better not trying to attack me because I won't hold back.
