The FL is a very diligent person! 🤣

It’s very funny so far, especially Episode 2.

The first two episodes were excellent! The various “plans” FL came up with in Episode 2 were hilarious 🤣

The teaser for this series is now on Netflix.

Thank you!

It’s a lighter version of TPoB and more like Are You the One (but not quite as good). Plot picks up and gets more complicated too.

What’s the full name for TODR? It’s so hard to keep
up with all the dramas coming out 😳

Yes, it’s nice to watch something lighter. This one reminds me a bit of Are You the One (especially since Zhou Shen sings main songs for both dramas). Of course, the writing in AYtO is better and there is more logic to everything; this drama is a bit silly/over-the-top sometimes.

Yes! It’s not very heavy & dramatic (not like The Prisoner of Beauty, for example) but if you like lighter dramas with more comedy, it’s very good.

Viva One just released a 36-minute documentary about the making of this drama. it’s called “Seducing Drake Palma: The First Chapter”.

“Exclusive Fairytale” is not a bad drama by any means but, because the FL is the same as “When I Fly Towards You”, it’s hard not to compare the two dramas and EF loses to WIFTY.

Yes. She’s also part of the Su clan and that is why in the beginning she was very involved in arranging [wrong] marriages for the leads.

No, 2ML is still alive but hiding from the Su family. Our heroes can’t go meet him though because they are being watched & followed 24x7. 2ML supposedly has some evidence against Su family so they are trying to hunt him down.

Empress Dowager is grandmother to the evil princess but she’s step-grandmother to the Emperor according to prior comments here.

Thanks for recommendations! I’m also awaiting season 2 of Flourished Peony (I mean, “Name of Blossom”, lol). I liked The Princess Royal (not as much as AYtO or FP) because I was focused on FL & ML finding trust & love again. Stopped In Blossom halfway but need to finish watching it.
What sucks about the ending of TDHR is that it was supposed to be a happy ending in original script but iQIYI asked for a different ending (possibly to safe budget on CGI for Carefree Land but it’s not been confirmed). Even then, they could’ve saved the ending by doing a 30-second scene of repairing the travel gizmo, hearing rumors of a second device, or basically any number of ways to hint about a possible way for ML & FL to reunite. As it is, it was not a happy ending, not a bittersweet ending, not an open ending, just very much meh 😒

All valid points although I’d say the writing here is still better than in many other dramas (it’s a very low bar to clear, lol). What dramas did you like that have very good writing? My favorite one in this genre is “Are You the One” (characters behave very logically) but I am always looking for other dramas with solid writing and good ending (*sigh* TDHR *sigh*).

Haha… Apparently the novel was quite steamy but the drama (which I love, BTW) had no bedroom scenes or any hints. And then — boom! — a pregnancy scare!

FL finds out about the concubine pretty quickly (within the same episode?) but, yeah, ML got too busy with hunting bad people so he forgot to tell her.
About fake death — both ML & Dad decided not to tell FL because bad people would be watching carefully (and they did watch for 2+ months), so they needed FL to behave naturally. That really sucked for her, I agree, but FL’s character may not have been able to pull off the deception and playing a grieving daughter.
At any rate, I’m glad we are at the home stretch now :)

To be fair, the bad guys did a great job setting up the General to be the fall guy. He did recruit local volunteers and the dam did collapse killing many people and causing devastation. So he’s technically at fault according to their law’s & regulations. Of course, the reason the dam collapsed is because bad guys blew it up. But all the evidence got washed away…
And for the smuggling/treason accusations there was physical evidence of bribery (gold) and communication with the enemy (letters). And, most importantly, General’s second-in-command convincingly lied to the Emperor.
Having said all of that, it’d still make more sense to wait until General arrives in the capital so he could rebuke accusations.

They didn’t even try to hide that it’s a fake out. There were so many hints about that, everyone except FL knew the General was alive.
