Guys i am currently watching this drama. Still at starting episodes. Was fascinated by chemistry of 2nd couple…
That’s a hard question to answer without spoilers. I think the simple answer is no if you’re asking if their ending is happy. If you’re asking if it’s a good and fitting ending for them - yes imo. But the drama also adds an alternate universe ending of sorts for the last like 20min or so that shows how the story would have gone if a certain major event never happened. In that AU there is hope for them.
A lot of people loved the first half of the drama, but don’t like the last 3rd of it nearly as much
Nah. I think PoJ had the potential to, but it fell short. I’m going to rewatch PoJ from the beginning later on after some distance and make my final verdict. Sometimes fandom frustrations and other peoples’ negative opinions can color my viewing experience. I wish I could go back and watch this drama without being on discussion boards and exposed to the fandom criticism just to see how my viewing experience would change.
Oh- I never found it annoying at all so idk 😳He had a lot of good reasons for not telling her his identity, so I dunno??? To me it always made sense why he hid it. If it helps and without spoiling much they physically separate at some point for an extended period of time so maybe that will help with the annoyance?

Mmhmm. Me neither. I’m still able to hang onto my enjoyment of the show, probably because I’m stubborn and I want to continue to like it. And because it’s hard for me to come to terms with how perfect the first half was, how high my hopes were of this being THE drama to dethrone TPoB as my all time favorite drama… to the letdown of what it has turned into. I’m hanging into my enjoyment of it with a clenched fist 😂
I think what people have an issue with is the lack of balance in character development and the ML being sidelined…
Yeah. It’s disappointing, especially because the first half was perfect. The ML was plotting and planning and doing his thing and getting character development with, like, that scene of coming out of the shadows as the Marquis to one of the me that attacked FCY’s home, or stabbing that other guy in the shoulder. OR that epic scene in the woods and then in the court with the Lin’an magistrate. The FL also had her awesome stuff going, it was literally perfect. And it’s so sad that ever since they broke up in 17, it has just felt like Xie Zheng just faded more and more into the background while the FL and side characters got all of the epic scenes and the plot development. 😞 I am still hoping that the last six episodes will undo some of that damage. Others who have watched the leaked episodes say that they do.
