how y'all remember every characters name 😭 it's so hard for me with such heavy politics plot, when I come here…
I totally understand your pain! I just remember characters by their profession/title and don’t try to memorize everyone.So it’s — Restaurant Lady, Academy Guy, Princess Royal, Grand Tutor Li, Chacellor Wei, White Haired Guy, etc.
Some people get way too crazy about things and that’s why it’s hard to take MDL ratings too seriously. Inreally appreciate having people like you in the comments who can share feedback and recommendations — that’s how I found quite a few dramas to watch (especially older ones). It’s also important to realize people have different tastes — my good friend & I tease each other about Hotel Del Luna, for example (I love it; she — not so much).
I’m glad I watched TPR before checking the comments :) OG was actually much better than many people think (kind of a cross between WIFTY & TFF). I don’t care about equal screen time (not an issue for me), but I wish they had done something more to explain why ML went away and didn’t contact FL all that time. It was handled beautifully in TFF (both times) but it was a weak point of OG for me.
Apparently in the novel FL was 15 and ML was 20, but they aged them up a bit (18 & 23 probably).
Not sure if the comment was meant for me, but I do agree that FL is 18 in the drama because they referenced her age like that (2+16). However, in the novel she was apparently 15 because ML buys her a gift for her 16th birthday :)
Awesome cute family and village moments. However, I'm confused on the political aspect of it as in who is who…
There are various internal conflicts going on between different factions, but — at this point — in the court neither side can be trusted (Li or Wei). ML was more on Wei side (before drama began) because Chancellor Wei raised him, but nowadays that’s obviously gone wrong 😑
Those people are weird. And current episodes aren’t even truly slow burn — there’s enough going on to keep…
Haven’t watched that one yet. The only historical drama I rewatch is Are You the One. It’s my go-to drama when I need to restore my faith that good competent writing in C-dramas exists. I find it very frustrating that even high-budget dramas have sloppy writing or absurd storylines that make no sense and feature very tired annoying tropes 🙄
Objectively, how good is this drama? I haven't started watching yet, but the rating is so high I'm really considering…
It’s great so far, but I’d ignore the ratings for now since it’s only 1/3 complete. MDL ratings are only slightly more reliable then Viki ratings, so there are plenty of 8.x dramas that are awesome, but didn’t get enough popularity or were downvoted by antis/haters.
I'd like to offer some service information.The setting of this drama (official uniforms, dresses etc) is likely…
Thank you for the historical information. Like MariaB mentioned, we were told in the drama that 20 taels of silver was enough for a year or more of household expenses (for regular people, of course), so being rented out for 30 taels or “selling essays” for 20 was certainly very nice for a common household.
this has to be the BEST comment community I’ve ever witnessed on MDL!!! real,engaging conversation and content,…
Comments page here has been nice, but still had to block some troll accounts. But other dramas have had good comments too, especially if it’s slightly lesser known stars that don’t have as many antifans/haters. “When Destiny Brings a Demon” is a great example — very friendly discussions about the sizzling chemistry ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 (The “worst” comments were when a few people complained that leads are kissing/being intimate too much which is kind of funny; maybe some people are too used to having only 2-3 kisses in a show).
ML definitely has a tough task ahead of him — protecting his new family won’t be easy because just about everyone knows about them, so they are a clear weak spot 🥺😳
I agree with your point and TXW is certainly great in this role. Would like to add that Are You the One also featured…
Keep an eye out on it :) The worst part of waiting, though, is the Tencent app which periodically sends me notifications about it — every time I think it’s because they announced a release date 😩🥺😞

Sorry for the typo 😳 I meant to say “release”. WCR is The Queen of fireworks-named dramas (a title I gave her myself, lol). She has an unreleased romcom drama called “Love Has Fireworks” (with Tan Jian Ci) but it’s not related to “Fireworks of My Heart” (with Yang Yang). The romcom Fireworks drama has been delayed because one of the secondary actors got into trouble but supposedly it’s all good now so Tencent just needs to choose a date. But next WCR drama release will probably be “Hidden Shadow” per rumors 🍉
