TXW is great in this drama for sure. And the novel is named after FL (“Jade” = FL), so it’s a bit more FL-centric probably.

Thanks! I figured out they will remarry after she gets a higher status, but was genuinely wondering how that worked back in those days. The only similar plot in a drama I’ve watched was in “Are You the One”, but that couple wasn’t really married (ML just lied to FL who was gravely injured & lost some memories).

Only Jisoo harem drama 🤣 beat PoJ!
(It’s really crazy how many popular actors are in the Jisoo drama; kudos to casting director.)

Most other countries: how do we get more than 1 episode per WEEK?

(Japan, Philippines, and Thailand… and U.S./Canada too)

Our poor FL is so innocent and completely oblivious to all the shenanigans going on 🤣

Swrious question: are they even really married if he used a fake name? I’m sure an official wedding will happen eventually, but validity of current marriage is questionable 🤨

We demand a spinoff focused on Ning Ning and The Falcon 🥰

Yes, a legitimate love triangle that goes on for too long.

We can dream! :)
But, yes, at this point I just want the drama to come out and to do well. Then we can officially crown WCR the queen of fireworks dramas 😁

I wasn’t watching TDHR for the guy, but it was a great drama with some fresh anti-trope-y things in the script… until the last two episodes kind of ruined everything. It’s like for the first 34 episodes they had a happy-ish ending in mind, did multiple things to set it up… only to change their mind at the last second and frantically spent last two episodes to shoehorn an ending that didn’t even feel sad/bad/open. It was a whimper not a bang, so to speak.

The only ending that’s more absurd was in a modern drama A Beautiful Lie (it now has 6.4 MDL rating because of that 🤯🫣).

Sigh… we have two weeks until final episode is out 🥺😩
Netflix has Episode 40 coming out on March 30 ⏰

I try to not watch dramas where I know the ending is going to be tragic/sad. A hopeful/open ending like, say, Hotel Del Luna or Moon in the Day is fine, but it has to be logical.

I’m still very disappointed at how The Demon Hunter’s Romance ended. We knew happy ending wasn’t a guarantee, but the last two episodes felt like they were written by a totally different person and took a 180-degree turn to arrive at a blah ending that felt rushed/illogical given prior 30+ episodes. It’s now one of my top examples of how a great drama can be ruined by a sloppy ending.

/rant over 😞

Once ML figured out that FL wouldn’t be a concubine, he had to go to extreme lengths to get her a princess title… from a man in love with her nonetheless. That was so great to see 🥰❤️‍🔥

I got used to her voice quickly but complaints about Esther’s voice are very common. She can actually do different voices (people mention My Journey to You as an example, but I haven’t watched it myself), so it’s more of on a director/producer to request a non-bubbly voice.

My favorite male voice may be Zhang Wan Yi in Are You the One, but — granted — I haven’t watched any of LYX dramas yet (somehow 😳).

He’s pretty normal in PoJ (the drama version). Definitely not anything red or black flag (we have a certain white haired character for that 😳🫣🤯)

At least, they are not releasing it during the airing of Pursuit of Jade. Definitely would be impossible to get #1 on Tencent given insane popularity of PoJ (well deserved so far… and crazy high 9.2 MDL rating).

Blasphemy! Next thing you are going to claim that Esther Yu isn’t a real fairy 🧚 😳

That waterfall scene is so, so good! AYtO actually reminds me a bit of this drama with strong FLs, concealed identities, endless intrigues, war campaigns, and insane chemistry between the leads ❤️‍🔥

Given insane popularity of Pursuit of Jade (Tencent + iQIYI), it’s not a bad move for YOUKU to avoid airing this drama at the same time.

I hope they do (guaranteed $$$), but Netflix is also airing episodes on the same schedule so maybe not? Last episode is coming out on March 30 on Netflix (only two days with two episodes, rest of the time — 1 per day).
