Same same . I was defending FL till like 7-8 epis ago but now I am disappointed big time specially last episode . Like Kings assistant showed more care to YZ than Li Wei:(
Even I started because it was wet and romantic first 10 episodes or so . I was liking even the friendship and women centric concepts initially but that overpowered everything else

Although I am loving the story and enjoying it I am finding more chemistry between Qi and Shangguan than our ML and FL. Here ML is busy plotting and FL is busy with friends and restaurant . Like Shanguang you can see the worry and even went to see the prince and FL didnt even come outside when Prince came back after heavy night. It’s just so disconnected and rushed !!There are one or two brief scenes here and there that they are couple like side character :( I am really finding hard to connect to story with leads teh way I did initially :( sorry for long ranting about it

Ph no! We hardly got any romantic moments from them and already love triangle again !!

Agree 💯. He cares to what really matters . There is a big long list of things he has done for others listed in Twitter and below in the comments . He has flaws like he really needs to be humble to people he thinks is not up to his expectations or question him but considering what he went through, him not having patience to the world who didn’t care much when he was going through so much makes sense . Only thing he has to survive and can be proud of is his skills . He also has to earn since childhood with his skills only so he really has no choice but to be the best . So him not listening to others or being rude/curt about their work is sort of him knowing what works since childhood . ZY keeps telling him to be not rude since the beginning but she is the only one who has guts to do that and also understand him when he does that ! It’s really sad that some people just label him as toxic

It’s the reverse for me . It gives a sense of poignance watching their student years knowing what happened to their individual and combined dreams :)

Also want to add how he helped the graduate student who left for farming by building a website for him ! LX does s lot of things but only actions no words ! But his personality shines when he came to beg for his friend just when he lost his mother :(
His words are really hurtful sometimes when he is spewing facts because he doesn’t have patience to sugar coat things !

Same same ! I expected and got disappointed in so many scenes on that front !

Yeah ! But what I liked that scene is how they were before they met each other and how they were to a stranger or a friend

I realised one scene I loved the most and gives such insights on what kind of people leads are is LX coming to ZY mom when he was expelled .
His mother just died without him being near her but he still came to beg for his friend . The effect that unkindness her mother showed by shutting her door on him you can see when he sees ZYs mother years later .
ZY being surrounded by family and friends on her birthday thought of a person drenching in rain and ran to give LX (a complete stranger then) an umbrella while her mother just shut the door on a desperate child . ZY is such an angel through and through .

What I like about this show is you can see throughout the series why each character end up the way they do since beginning including Gao. Not saying he is right but you can see how he is being undermined in the base time and time again before that he was always top of the class . Same goes with ZY . You can see how she is since her childhood . She is super sensitive. Her trying to give umbrella to LX who was then a complete stranger when he came to beg with her mother shows how she is as a person . Her mother didn’t bother and closed a door on a desperate child but her daughter even when surrounded by her friends and family happily celebrating thought about a person who is drenching in rain . she is strong but also sensitive and more and more with LX who gives her what she thinks she lacked always .

China indeed has great tradition architecture literature but even other countries have it too. India also had Golden period with great architecture literature and other feats . Fact that it’s not well known is because we don’t have such productions like C dramas have so lots of people don’t know about it and I am sure this is the case with lots of countries is what I meant :) anyway we are going round and round on something we both enjoy so cheers :)

I am loving all the discussions and POVs. At this point LX is in a situation where it’s not easy to let go nor easy to be with her. With all the things that happened when he sees ZY with her friend he can see the extent of the loss he suffered . Although insulting their past is not something he should have done it’s not out of his character and back story. But I really thought there will be atleast 1-2 encounters where there is pain and regret between them before he apologises not act normal as if nothing happened and they have moved on from each other!

True that ! What I meant in comment above is its also beautiful to watch different cultures in that era since India also had rich cultures but we don’t have shows like C Dramas depicting that. I came to know that C drama have 50% or more historical dramas with elaborate sets too. Don’t see this happening in any other country

I get what you mean ! It’s because it’s a historical series and they are showing something which are taboos and not accepted socially in many regions even now so it’s hard to digest that it was accepted then I suppose . Also even I feel they are covering all possible women centric issues not just 1 or 2 so yeah it’s overwhelming even if it’s enjoyable. The way characters are accepting change is super fast too considering how it was in the beginning of the series .

High five !! Huge thanks to C productions to give us these eras. My own country productions sucks most of the time

This ! I tend to watch historical drama exactly for the same reason . I love the whole atmosphere of historical era .

Same here . I find MLs dropping their responsibilities is common trope. AOL,LBFAD etc. I mean they are shown so good and best possible people to lead and bring about change but at the end they just leave ! Not a fan of it . I want YZ to take up the mantle and bring about changes with help of LW not run away as some people commented here

True even before YY she told YZ what she observed in her region. She was not a clueless child . She is just innocent and that doesn’t make her dumb

Yes Korean dramas has more suspense about the ending specially original scripts . Worst part about 2521 was break up didn’t make sense whatsoever . NJH and Tae ri were so good but :( Anyway last scene here felt exactly like that as if everything they had is vanished !! I wish there was atleast one scene with ZY being bitter and LX showing regret one
