where did you find this? is this true? because as a MM fan who hasnt seen ALP, i need to know!
I liked ALP better than the Last Immortal if that gives you more motivation to watch. Also In ALP their son is named Yuan Qi same as the Main Character in the Last Immortal but he changes his name to Gu Jin so people don't know who his parents are. ALP is his parents love story.
I liked Hong Yi and Yan Shuangs love story better. ML and FL had to much screen time for me I kept skipping there scenes to get to Hong Yi and Yan Shuangs. After a while their story got boring. I would of liked it better if they had more scenes together
I watched Moonlight Mystique before ALP and I didn't know it was a sequel to ALP. When I heard there was a Sequel with Yue Mi I was hoping she married someone else and Tian Qi was the one with the unrequited love.
Wait so it seems FL remembers what happens every time she dies and goes to the Nether Realm seeing that she remembers…
She was always a Phoenix but when she died a part of her essence instead of going into a tree it went into becoming a water beast. That's why the old man at the tree said he recognized her essence
Finally someone who actually saw things in FL's pov. Until a few months ago, I have been actively replying to…
Yeah there are a lot of negative comments on here. To many negative comments so the reviews look one sided. I only commented for people who read the comments or want spoilers before watching. I never read the comments before watching I watched because it was recommended in another dramas comment section.
Ancient Love Poetry was a better rendition of Lovers who had multiple life times together. I didn't like how The Unclouded Soul ended but if you enjoyed it you will definitely like Ancient Love Poetry. đđ
If you like historical romance dramas or enemies to lovers stories, youâll like this one. I actually liked it better than Fated Hearts, which has been my favorite historical romance so far. It follows a pretty typical historical romance plot: the ML is very smart and strong and has to fight through a lot of corruption before he can finally settle down and find peace. The ML and FL develop feelings very early on (around Episode 6). Since they fall for each other so early, there are a lot more romance scenes and couple moments than in most historical dramas Iâve watched. Thereâs even a 1-hour compilation of all their kissing scenes on YouTube. First kiss (cheek/peck): Episode 9 First real kiss. Episode 21. They do fight a lot as a couple and are basically on-and-off until Episode 31. Then they have another big fight after getting married in Episode 34, but it only lasts about two episodes. There are scenes where the ML is mad at the FL and scenes where the FL is mad at the ML. A lot of people in the comments say the FLâs reasons for being mad are unreasonable, but you really have to understand where sheâs coming from.
đ¨ Spoilers starting here: First time: She gets mad at the ML for thinking she betrayed him and plotted to kill him. Second time: She gets mad at the ML for not saving her brother. Even though her brother deserved what happened, she is in love with the ML, and it hurts to know he would let her go through the pain of losing a loved one. The ML then traps her in the palace and doesnât let her go home to mourn. Sheâs angry at him, but sheâs also grieving her brother. These events happen very close together, so sheâs also upset that the ML doesnât trust her and throws what people call a âtemper tantrumâ about her brother dying and the ML not saving him. She stops being upset after the ML lets her visit her father and they hold a funeral for her brother.
Third time: Sheâs upset because she truly believes the ML could have done more to save the Cui army, but he doesnât and is very passive because there really isnât much he can do. Again, sheâs hurt that the ML would cause her pain in that way, even though it wasnât entirely in his control. She believes he could have tried harder. A lot of people complain about the FL during these episodes. Especially because the FL, wanted the ML to become Crown Prince; in fact, she actually forced his hand. She wanted him to take the position because she believed the country would be safest in his hands. The ML, however, didnât want to be Crown Prince because he grew up in the palace and hates court politics and corruption. He understands how bad the system is and knows thereâs not much he can change in this specific situation, while the FL believes he should have done more. The FL wasnât raised in court politics, she was raised as a war general, which explains her mindset. She also puts the ML on a very high pedestal and genuinely believes heâs capable of more. Because she never grew up around court politics, she doesnât fully understand how severe and limiting the situation is.They eventually get back together by Episode 36.
People also complain that the FL is mean to the ML. When they argue, if the ML is mad at her, he distances himself and she also distances herself because she knows sheâs wrong. When the FL is mad at the ML, the ML doesnât distance himself; instead, he tries to win her back, which only makes her angrier. She was raised by her father, and based on their conversations, he likely taught her to never let a man get the upper hand. You can tell from early on that she loves winning arguments. When she realizes she canât beat the ML or it will be difficult to beat him, she uses his love for her instead. This becomes one of the reasons the ML gets upset with her throughout the show. because he loves and trusts her blindly, and she sometimes uses that to manipulate him.
Overall, it was a good show to me. Episodes 1â18 are very hectic. The emperor dies, and there are a lot of mini wars, power struggles, and people fighting over land. ML is trying to return the throne to the rightful heir. Episodes 19â31: ML helps his father escape, his father goes against his will, and declares himself emperor. He then forces ML to become a prince and participate in court politics under imperial command. ML is still secretly trying to help the old emperorâs grandson become Crown Prince. A lot of people say these episodes are boring. These episodes have less action and have court politics mixed with MLs life as a war general and Romance scenes. I didnât find them boring. Episodes 31â40: ML becomes Crown Prince and gets married. The remaining storylines with the MLâs villains are wrapped up. I donât think the last 10 episodes were rushed, but they could have been written better. đ¨ Ending of spoilers.
Happy ending. No love triangle, but both the FL and ML have delusional, obsessed characters who relentlessly pursue them despite their love being completely unrequited. If you like other historical romance dramas or enemies to lovers I would certainly recommend watching despite negative comments before dropping. I would say this is romance before historical if you like just historical dramas you might not enjoy this. After Ep.20 It becomes more about romance combined with MLs Court Politics ARC
đSpoilers đFor me, it started off slow, then got really interesting, but I didnât personally like the ending. Although it was a happy ending, I didnât enjoy the storyline.
The way FL and her sister were written is annoying. In terms of romance, FL doesnât trust ML, even though he proves time and again that he is trustworthy. In the beginning, it was okay, but it dragged on too long, and itâs clear that ML is not the villain she thinks he is. FLâs sister, whose parts I skipped most of the time, comes across as controlling, demanding, and desperate.
I would have liked it better if ML had left FL for someone else, like in the original script, because she feared he would leave her and rejected him a lot. It would have been nice to see the roles reversed and the original script play out after constantly rejecting him where she is the one constantly trying to prove her love to him after he leaves her after all and the story line couldn't change
Quite OK, but ridiculously overrated heređą When I see many ppl commenting they've loved it while skipping some…
I disliked the FL acting and her voice. Her facial expressions never match the scene or their very monotonous. She once gave a disgusted face but she was supposed to be angry in the scene and In other scenes she tries to look cute but just stares at the ML with puppy eyes but it's not cute it just looks like she is in deep thougt. I still gave it a 9 because I liked the overall story. Might change it to an 8 but its a 9 for now.
This is a historical drama where there are going to be less skinship.
I am new to C dramas but I noticed the historical romance dramas they nearly fight to the end and have no time for romance because all of the corruption. This had a decent amount of time with them being together I will not complain lol đ
The leads travel back in time. The FL remembers her past life, but I donât recall the ML retaining memories…
The ML had dreams of her but didn't remember his past life. She remembered because when they died in their previous life she had the book and the charm.
This would have been so much better. At least we could have seen that she cared for him not simply use and trow…
Yes, I agree there was no balance at all. I prefer dramas with a strong FL, but the writers took the strong storyline too far. I thought when she disobeyed her grandmother and got kicked out of the house she would use that as an excuse to follow her heart and stay with LJL despite her grandmotherâs wishes. But that is the one order she still chooses to obey. It feels like after the wedding she completely disregards her feelings for the ML and takes her grandmotherâs words too much to heart about not letting the ML take advantage of her situation, even though she knows his feelings for her and that he only left to save his assistant and eliminate corruption. The storyline could have been much better if she had stopped listening to her grandmother on this point and worked with the ML instead of insisting that he give up his career/inheritance to become her househusband. Or to make him prove over and over again that he loves her for reassurance but never her reassuring him.
Hey I'm definitely sure if LJL would set up a competition to select wives during capital arc she would have abandoned…
I believe the FL did love him but the writers kept the story line of how their grandmother molded them to be ruthless against men. In the scene where RSB vows to her ancestors in front of her grandmother to not let the ML take advantage of her she is literally crying because she knows that he can't be trusted and they both lie to each other. But after the wedding Arc we don't see the same RSB. The RSB that told her guards to watch over LJL to make sure he wasn't hurt. it's like that version of her disappears and she can only remember what her grandmother told her but in the next episode she defies her grandmother the storyline is written weirdly because she can break her grandmothers rules and disobey her when it comes to her sister but not LJL. I thought she would use her getting kicked out the family to be with who she wants to be but she follows her grandmothers words and holds a grudge against LJL. Forcing him to prove herself to him despite knowing that he stood her up to save a life.
đSpoilersđ I thought the ending would have been much better if LJL had accepted himself as the heir, even if it was just to seek revenge. Instead of RSB coming to save him, she could have come because he was accepting wives and she wanted to compete to marry him, just like in the beginning when RSB was accepting a husband and LJL competed. I do not see what was so bad about accepting the throne. He could have easily killed/imprisoned his father and stepmother for revenge, either before or after taking the throne.
This show would have been much better if it were more balanced, but it feels like only RSB gets all the glory. The male lead felt more like a supporting character. Even when LJL is solving crimes, which is his job as an imperial inspector, he constantly gets outshined and outsmarted by RSB. The capital arc and LJLâs family storyline were boring and rushed. I also think it would have been better if he had multiple brothers who fought him for the throne, and his father ultimately saw LJL as the most responsible and worthy of the title. Just like RSB was head of her household in the end.
Lastly, I do not understand why he had to give up his title to be with RSB. She could have easily expanded her business by opening a new tea farm in the capital and letting her sisters manage the other farms. I really wish episode one LJL had stayed until the end.
This drama was okay, not my favorite, but it could have been much better if the ending were different. I agree with most of the comments that after the wedding, it went downhill.
